IS it because there’s no God in Israel? Put your nation..

Is it that there is no God in your nation…………….

Many time’s the solace of our predicament is realised by what we have chosen to do with our lives and from those that we have given the highest esteem in view to how our lives concerns are . 

It’s important to know that there is no other God other than the almighty the creator and nothing else should be equated to His glory or majesty 

When king Ahaziah fell from the lattice of his window. He fell and got an injury and when he got that injury he sent his messengers to baal-zebub the god of Ekron in order that they consult from him on whether he is going to die or live. 2 Kings 1:2[2][King] Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria and lay sick. He sent messengers, saying, Go, ask Baal-zebub, the god of [Philistine] Ekron, if I shall recover from this illness.

What He did was bad to the extent that is portrayed the hunger of the LORD  who through The angel of the LORD appeared to elijah and asked him to meet the messengers of the king ahaziah in order to say to them..is it because there is no God in Israel

2 Kings 1:3]But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king in Samaria and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? As thus king Ahaziah died to the account of wanting to seek decision from the god of Ekron instead of the almighty God 

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) What does this teaching relate to your everyday life?

b) Why do you think King Ahaziah sent his messengers to Ekron? Didn’t he know that Israel had God almighty as the king

c) Acknowledge reference of note as realised in perspective 

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I come to you. In all I do I will lean on you and consult from you as far as the predicaments of my life are concerned.  Amen

WHY JOB OFFERED a BURNT offering for His children

I really want us to know that Job loved His seven boy’s and three girls that The LORD had given him before they died. He cared for his children as a father would care for his children 

In those day’s people would offer offerings to The LORD for the sin that may have been committed by themselves , friend’s or relatives in order to atone for that sin which they would have done. 

After job’s children had celebrated their birthdays, Job would offer a BURNT offering to the LORD on their behalf in perspective to perhaps they may have sinned before the LORD or disowned God in their heart’s Job 1:4-5[4]His sons used to go and feast in the house of each on his day (birthday) in turn, and they invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them. [Gen. 21:8; 40:20.][5]And when the days of their feasting were over, Job sent for them to purify and hallow them, and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed or disowned God in their hearts. Thus did Job at all [such] times.

As thus may we also be concerned about our way of life and walk in repentance 

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) According to relation of note, why did Job offer burnt offerings to the LORD?

b) What may be some of the lessons in due you learn from our purpose study 

c) Give an analysis of due as realised upon in our context study

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I come before you today- I ask for your forgiveness for whatever wrong I may have done in Jesus name Amen 

WE SHOULDN’T SEGREGATE DISCIPLES BASING ON THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION.

From a realised perspective to analogy, we note  that some of us have pride but we do not even know that we have pride. We have a negative feeling towards those who are still struggling.  To those who don’t have anything for sure 

Many Christians today think like the people of the world .

They have become observer’s of other people’s financial situations with less concern for their divine mandate . 

When they realise a disciple who has money they want to hang around with that disciple all the time and when they realise a brother who is still struggling they don’t attach any value to that person because of his present circumstances in view not knowing that life can change for good  for that person they considered irrational  

They only want to hang around those who have money and those who are in their validation of interest in terms of status and position.  

The bible forbids us from being hardhearted or tightfisted towards a poor brother Deuteronomy 15:7[7]If there is among you a poor man, one of your kinsmen in any of the towns of your land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your [minds and] hearts or close your hands to your poor brother;

Reflective questions about the teaching 

a) According to our reflection of due, what is that which we shouldn’t do against our poor friend’s?

b) Should we segregate disciples basing on their financial situations 

c) Is it right to segregate disciples basing on their financial situations 

d) What would be some of the lessons in view you percieve from our teaching 

e) What is the relatibility of this teaching as compared to our day to day life.

f) Give some of the lessons in view you learn from our teaching 

g) Why is it that many of our Christian brothers and sisters are good at segregating people 

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus we come before you today, we repent for closing in our hands for the poor brethren.  Forgive us.. wash us and cleanse us in Jesus name Amen 

DO YOU HAVE AN INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST AND OF GOD

It’s important that you analyse this teaching through purpose of word for your spiritual elaboration to illumination 

In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians he tells them something as dared to our relation of day to day life. 

He tells them about those who have an inheritance in the kingdom of christ and those who don’t have an inheritance in the kingdom of christ  

Paul tells them that no person.  ..

Practicing sexual impurity in thought or in life, who is covetous has an inheritance in the kingdom of christ Ephesians 5:5[5]For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]–for he [in effect] is an idolater–has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) What does Paul the Apostle tell the Ephesians to be sure of? 

b) Analyse contentment of due as realised upon

c) Do you have an inheritance in the kingdom of christ? If so how sure are you of your inheritance in the kingdom of christ 

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus , am grateful for this insight in view and that I have an inheritance in your kingdom in Jesus name Amen
