Purposeful Direction!

Today’s Feast Feb. 29, 2016 – 2 Kings 2 Purposeful Direction! clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “120 In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.”  Psalm 120:1, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in 2 Kings Chapter 2; “Elijah divides Jordan. (1-8) Elijah is taken up into heaven. (9-12) Elisha is manifested to be Elijah's successor. (13-18) Elisha heals the waters of Jericho, Those that mocked Elisha destroyed. (19-25)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we continue in 2nd Kings by prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 2.  Another miracle from the prophet Elijah, he divides the Jordan River.  Elisha stays with Elijah until he is taken up into heaven. Elisha sees Elijah depart in God’s chariot so he is manifested to be Elijah’s successor.   Elisha heals the waters of Jericho, by placing salt in it as directed by God. Those that mocked Elisha were destroyed; “23 He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead! ”23 He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24 And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys. 25 From there he went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.” 2 Kings 2:23-25, ESV.   God called Elisha to follow Elijah.  In spite of being urged to turn back Elisha kept on track holding fast to the path God called him to walk.  He was rewarded for his persistence.  Listen Christians God called us to follow his son, Jesus. Stay on track in the race and God has more rewards for us.  God called us for a purpose, beyond going to church twice a week.  “13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13, ESV.  God has a purpose for us; it is up to us to stay on track. Live a Christ centered life and depend on Jesus for the strength and the Holy Spirit for direction to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  God gave us freedom to serve and love him.  If we are true to him our lives will be filled with purposeful direction.  If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com   Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now; do not wait while you try to change anything.  Click this link for more information; admenu.com/calling.htm .  God Bless You, Brother Mike Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com ….................the small print................................

Who Do We Consult?

Today’s Feast Feb. 28, 2016 – 2 Kings 1 Who Do We Consult? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  2 Timothy 1:7, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 2 Kings Chapter 1; “The revolt of Moab-Sickness of Ahaziah, king of Israel. (1-8) Fire called from heaven by Elijah-Death of Ahaziah.(9-18)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we begin our feast in 2nd Kings by prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 1.  Ahaziah, king of Israel revolts against God causing the revolt of Moab and sickness. Because Ahaziah called on a false God fire is called from heaven by Elijah on the high-minded officers and troops.  Ahaziah dies because he called an a false god named Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron and not our God.  “17 So he died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son. 18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?” 2 Kings 1:17-18, ESV.   We are to love God with all our hearts. Christians never read the stars, call on Necromancers or consult false gods.   That is like saying God does not exist.   “14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.” Philippians 2:14-16, ESV.  Our God loves us, Jesus paid for our sin.  The Holy Spirit dwells with us we have no need for horoscopes, familiar spirits, mediums.  If we need anything we take it to God in prayer, in the name of our savior Jesus.  We keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Maintain our walk and talk (relationship) with our God, Jesus is our deliverer. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com   Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship.

What Is God’s Message?

Today’s Feast Feb. 27, 2016 – 1 Kings 22 What Is God’s Message? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”  1 John 3:18, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 22; “Jehoshaphat makes a league with Ahab. (1-14) Micaiah predicts the death of Ahab. (15-28) Death of Ahab. (29-40) Jehoshaphat's good reign over Judah. (41-50) Ahaziah's evil reign over Israel. (51-53)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we finish1st Kings by prayerfully reading, 1 Kings 22.  Ahab’s prophets, use of the name of Jehovah to please Jehoshaphat, he falls in company with Ahab. Micaiah in order to serve God and give Ahab the truth predicts his death.  Ahab dies just as predicted by Micaiah. Jehoshaphat has a good reign over Judah. Ahaziah’s reign over Israel is evil. “51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. 52 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 53 He served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger in every way that his father had done.” 1 Kings 22:51-53, ESV.   The truths in the scripture ring true.  All men have the potential to do evil.  Saints, need to tell people the truth if there is any chance of them being favored by God.    “[Keep in Step with the Spirit] 6 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16, ESV.  Walk with God no matter where you walk.  What Jesus knows is more important than what men think.  Let’s continue to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  If God’s will directs your life, presenting salvation, will be more important than looking good to men.  If we don’t carry God’s message who will?  Our word could save a soul from hell.  Our desire to please men could allow a soul to go to hell. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com   Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship.

How Can We Pay For Sin?

Today’s Feast Feb. 26, 2016 – 1 Kings 21 How Can We Pay For Sin? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.”  1 John 4:9, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 21; “Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard. (1-4) Naboth murdered by Jezebel. (5-16) Elijah denounces judgments against Ahab. (17-29)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we prayerfully read, 1 Kings 21. Ahab is guilty of sin the moment he covets another man’s property.  Jezebel helps Ahab obtain land by killing the owner.  Because a man is the head of the house and is one in with his wife in God’s eyes, God condemns Ahab and his family to death.  Elijah delivered the judgment to Ahab, and Ahab repents; “27 And when Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about dejectedly. 28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son’s days I will bring the disaster upon his house.”” 1 Kings 21:27-29, ESV.   Look at Ahab’s position; he is guilty of murder and larceny.  He is responsible for the crime committed by Jezebel.  Then he truly repents and turns to God for mercy.  God is true to forgive him!      “[The Truth Will Set You Free] So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”” John 8:31-32, ESV.  When you sin or your dependents sin you are obligated to take appropriate action, repent and ask God for forgiveness. Remember sin is cancer to our lives with Jesus. That is why we keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. When you repent and ask Jesus to forgive you, if you are truly repentant His is true to forgive you. You can’t pay for one sin; Jesus paid the price for all sin. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com   Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship.

Expedite or Impede?

Today’s Feast Feb. 25, 2016 – 1 Kings 20 Expedite or Impede? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Matthew 22:37-39, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 20; “Benhadad besieges Samaria. (1-11) Benhadad's defeat. (12-21) The Syrians again defeated. (22-30) Ahab makes peace with Benhadad. (31-43)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we prayerfully read, 1 Kings 20. Benhadad greedily besieges Samaria and sets his army against Ahab. Ahab believes God and attacks and defeats Benhadad. The Syrians are ignorant of the one true God and are again defeated. Ahab makes peace with Benhadad, not heeding God’s instruction to smite him. “41 Then he hurried to take the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets. 42 And he said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall be for his life, and your people for his people.'” 43 And the king of Israel went to his house vexed and sullen and came to Samaria.” 1 Kings 20:41-43, ESV. Do we serve our fellow men or God? If you neglect to tell someone about the gifts of God, you are helping to condemn them to hell. Sometimes you may be directed by God to ignore someone’s salvation. Never neglect to tell them about Jesus because you don’t want to offend a person, in doing so you are offending our God. “20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” 1 John 4:20-21, ESV. It is far better to offend your brother or sister than to condone sin. If we overlook sin, we are paving the path to hell. Jesus told us that he is the way the truth and the life. No one can reach God except thru Jesus. This is why we need to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. It is far better to offend a person than to expedite a soul away from God, to eternal punishment. Ask yourself what better serves God expediting or impeding godlessness? Don’t send mixed messages where salvation is concerned. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com   Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship.

Carry On Ambassadors!

Today’s Feast Feb. 24, 2016 – 1 Kings 19 Carry On Ambassadors! clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”  Jeremiah 29:11-13, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 19; “Elijah flees to the wilderness. (1-8) God manifests himself to Elijah. (9-13) God's answer to Elijah. (14-18) The call of Elisha. (19-21) Elijah, by prayer, obtains rain. (41-46)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we prayerfully read, 1 Kings 19.  Elijah flees because Jezebel wants to take his life.  He considers quitting and dyeing but God sends an Angel with food to rescue him.  God prepares Elisa to replace Elijah; “19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him. 20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” 21 And he returned from following him and took the yoke of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and assisted him.” 1 Kings 19:19-21, ESV.   Never presume to know God’s mind, stay in the race until you finish.  Wait on the Lord and he will bless you, with purpose and love.  “19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:19-20, ESV.  Stay steadfast in your ambassadorship.  Keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  As he did for Elijah God will refresh you to carry on in your service to him.  Love and trust him he will never forsake you. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com   Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship.
