Rulers of Sodom, people of Gomorrah

Joyful day to you in Jesus.🤗♥️

God our Father please bless these words going forth, in Jesus' Holy Name. Thank you Lord.🙏

Look what the prophet Isaiah called Israel! Recently I saw a street preacher preaching at Israel's 'Pride Parade' and when I read this Scripture this morning, I thought of Israel and their 'Pride Parade' festival.😥

They were like this back in the day and today it's even worse. Not just Israel, look at the rest of the world...everyone does it.

So today I apply this to all nations. Sodom and Gomorrah were not only guilty of sexual sins, but also of all kinds of abominations, murder, etc.

I can only thank Abba for His great mercy, grace and love for the whole world when He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (Joh. 3:16) to set us free from our sins and the punishment we deserved, which He took in our place upon Himself! Thank you Lord our GOOD GOD!👐♥️🕊️ #Believe #Faith #repentance

Please read the following Scriptures and what I point out. Thank you.🕊️

Hear the word of the Lord, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the law of our God, You people of Gomorrah:

“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?” Says the Lord.

“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs or goats.

“When you come to appear before Me, Who has required this from your hand, To trample My courts? Bring no more futile sacrifices;

Incense is an abomination to Me.

The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies— I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.

👉Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.👈

When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.

Isaiah 1:10‭-‬17

He has done violence to His tabernacle, As if it were a garden; He has destroyed His place of assembly;

👉The Lord has caused The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.👈

In His burning indignation He has spurned the king and the priest.

Lamentations 2:6

👉So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,👈 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

Colossians 2:16‭-‬17

 

 

A virtuous wife

Blessed day in Jesus people of God!🤗♥️

Men of God, look what God's word says about you...that you receive favour from the Lord when you find a wife, because then you find a treasure!😁

Enjoy your wives, appreciate them. Love them as Christ loves His church.

God bless your marriages and young people, keep yourselves pure for marriage, God will bless you! And those who did not keep themselves pure, there is grace, mercy and forgiveness in Jesus Christ, you only have to confess and ask forgiveness from God.

Look at that verse where the wife buys a field🙂....she doesn't take land that's already owned and paid for by others!

Like our ANC government who wants to claim all land for themselves as government, without compensation, land belonging to farmers who paid for it/are paying off bonds to banks for their piece of land!🤔

(I searched through the stickers for 'marriage/wedding' stickers to share with this post, but there are only 'same sex marriage/wedding' stickers, not heterosexual ones.🤔)

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

Ephesians 5:25

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Proverbs 12:4

Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord .

Proverbs 19:14

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She considers a field and buys it;

From her profits she plants a vineyard.

She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,

But a woman who fears the Lord , she shall be praised.

Proverbs 31:10‭-‬12‭, ‬16‭, ‬20‭-‬20‭, ‬25‭-‬27‭, ‬30 NKJV

 

 

Guard your thoughts

Blessed day to you in Jesus.🤗💞

This verse is só true! We must guard our thoughts. That which we think, which comes from the heart, determines our lives, because in our hearts sins originate. As is written in Matthew 15:19, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies."

All those things determine our whole lives.

I have first hand experience of that. Things we should never have done, but in our selishness we never think of the consequences or about others.

No wonder the word says in Pilippians 4:8,

"...whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."

So let us not think on evil, wicked things, let us not contemplate in our hearts to do unholy things. Do not consider suicide. Do not entertain that thought! Think on lovely, holy, pure, good things.

Do not toy with the idea to satisfy the lust of the flesh by having an affair. It will be revealed and your thought determined the course of your life, you might divorce, then you feel guilty and commit suicide, your children are left broken and have issues their whole lives, a chain reaction, a domino effect, the consequence of your one wicked thought, it determined your whole life.

GUARD YOUR HEART, YOUR THOUGHTS.

Spirit of God rests upon you

Greetings in Jesus' Name.🤗♥️

May God bless your and never forget that you are BLESSED when people insult and ridicule you for the Name of Christ!😊👐♥️🕊️

RIDICULED & INSULTED

FOR THE NAME OF CHRIST:

Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.

Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.

THE GLORIOUS SPIRIT OF GOD

RESTS UPON YOU:

If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you.

If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs.

But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!

For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household.

And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News?

And also, “If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?”

So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.

1 Peter 4:12‭-‬19

 

Be angry, do not sin

Blessed day to you precious people.🤗♥️

May God our Father be merciful to you and may He give you the desires of your heart as you delight yourself in Him. In Jesus' Name. Thank you Lord.🙏🕊️

We must not sin. In God's word we are told not to sin. I know as Christians we make mistakes and sin unintentionally and that is why God's word also says that if we do sin, we have Jesus as our Advocate with the Father.

That does not mean that we can now continue merrily in deliberate sin because that is the sin that is unto death. (1 Joh. 5:16-17)

When we are in deliberate sin, we are walking in darkness. We then lie if we claim to know the Lord.

And look how we can keep ourselves from sinning against the Lord... we hide His word in our hearts.🙂

God's word teaches us what we should and shouldn't do and how we should live. It tells us what Jesus commands us to do. It warns us.

I understand why the devil does not want us to read the Bible, because then we are not spiritually growing.

When I was born again, God put a hunger for His word in my heart and He does that with all of us, but we become lackadaisical regarding the Bible when the world lures us back into its web and we fall back into sin.

Then we stop reading the Bible because the Sword of the Spirit cuts deep to reveal what is in our hearts and convicts us about sin we are in and many of us do not want to hear it.

Thank God for His great love and mercy and for His word that stands forever. Forever His word is settled in heaven.

📖🕊️📖🕊️📖🕊️📖🕊️📖🕊️📖🕊️📖🕊️

Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

Psalms 119:11

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

I John 1:6

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

I John 2:1

The Fragrance of Christ

God bless you beloved. Yes we are the beloved of God and He is ours!  Oh aren't those two verses in Song of Songs beautiful?

It is written in 2 Corinthians 2:15 that we are the fragrance of Christ to God, among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life.
This is why we are hated so much.
When we proclaim the Good News to them, we are spreading the fragrance of Christ. To the one the fragrance of death, to the other the fragrance of life.
Jesus is an aroma of myrrh, aloes & cassia (Ps 45:9) and Jesus as an offering and sacrifice to God, was a sweet-smelling aroma and acceptable unto God. (Eph. 5:2)
So let us walk in love as Jesus loves us and spread this lovely fragrance of the Good News everywhere we go. It is acceptable unto God. ✝️

Forsakers of Christ shall be consumed

Blessed day to you dear people.🤗💞
As long as we continue in faith, do the will of our Father in heaven, abide in Christ, God is able to make His servants stand!
Lately I see so many unbelievers claim that they "used to be Christians".
Look what the word of God says about those who forsake the Lord! They shall be consumed! That reminds me of our God who is a consuming fire!🔥
It is impossible to renew them again unto repentance for they crucify again for themselves the Son of God and put Him to an open shame.😢
They do not live by faith anymore, they now live in wilful sin and therefore there is no more sacrifice for their sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.
As per Hebrews 6 & 10.

Glory to God alone, the righteous of the heavenly Zion who trust in Jesus Christ, are redeemed with justice and our repentance with righteousness!
Stand strong warriors of faith as you contend for the faith under trials, even unto death, to win the race to receive the prize, the crown of life!✝️💞🕊️
