If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the King who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your King. 1 Samual 12:14-15 Samuel is speaking here about God’s blessing, and the nation’s welfare was not dependent on having a king. Their reverence is to God and their obedience to his word. Samuel had the…

The Blessing of Divine Protection
He fills my life with good things. Psalm 103: 5 When you had an opportunity to serve others, did you turn it down because you were afraid of the risk? Do you fear things you can not control if you say yes to helping others or serving in a new ministry? Do you know what the root of this fear is?

Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body to hell. Matthew 10:26-28 What do you fear in this world? We have nothing to fear. In gods timing he will reveal things to us nothing will be hidden. As Christ workers it is us who helps God get certain things done…

Faith and Sacrifice – Part Two
He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now, I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me. Genesis 22:12 James 2:21 states that Abraham was justified by works when he offered Isaac on the altar. Abraham showed his faith by sincerely obeying God. True faith will reveal itself by obedience to God. True faith is the kind that which people are saved. As Abraham was preparing to sacrifice Isaac, it was evident that Abraham was willing to do whatever God asked him to do. God knew that Abraham was a God-fearing man.…
