Scripture is read from the king James version of the Holy Bible with some explanation; followed with a quote made by some of history’s prominent and famous individuals, and the closing is with prayers. The hope here is to brighten the day for some and hopefully inspire others about the intended purpose of Christianity and that is to seek God for salvation from this untoward generation made possible by our resurrected Lord, Jesus, the Christ.

What we should learn from this message is that we should be patient and wait to understand our leading from the Lord. Then do what he tells us. That wisdom is in the scriptures. He lets us know here that even though the enemy may for a time ride over us and take advantage of us; the day will come that the Lord will deliver us by exacting his judgme…

Again here we see the agape’ love of God in action. Even though God punishes wrong, even with his people, but when the adversary rises up against them to suppress them even more, God will, when He decides, come to their rescue. Satan is relentless at manipulating God’s people. He uses people against people. But don’t worry you righteous ones, God i…

In this scripture, I think we can capsulize the wisdom intended for humanity and particularly the people of God, by applying another scripture; which compounds the love of God, and that is: Galatians 6:7, Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Also, we can not walk as other gentiles walk; in the va…

Selfishness can produce an unhealthy and harmful attitude. From this divine demonstration of compassion let us learn that the most effective way to perform the tasks set before us each is to simply follow instructions. And let’s be prudent enough to follow God’s instructions learned from the word of God by the directions of God’s spirit.…

God said then and we can believe that he is saying now; because he is God that cannot change; woe to the heathen or nonbelievers that won’t or don’t try to help the believer in a time of distress, but take advantage of the believer and mock them with boasting and bragging God is coming for you. He is going to exact upon the nonbelievers that laughe…

The wisdom and understanding that the people of God were warned about then is the same that we should give heed to Today. That is don’t think that just because God has allowed for much prosperity in life the prosperous believer is still required to conduct their lives in humility, compliance to scripture, and reverence for God. God hates even a pro…

We learn from this event in biblical history how when God has grown weary of tolerating rebellion and disobedience that he takes action. The controversy or argument that God had then and still today is that those that announce themselves as God’s representatives in the earth give greater heed to rudiments of the world and secular wisdom than adheri…

Daniel’s vision: Here we come to understand to some degree, metaphors and symbolism. God allowed Daniel to see destruction coming upon his people and his church. Principalities and Powers (Government leaders and church leaders) are corrupt and take advantage of the righteous people of God by forcing or compelling them to believe a lie and not the t…

Ezekiel is taken out into the spirit by the Lord, to show him the abominations, the rebellion, the disobedience, and the idolatry of his chosen people. We should learn the just recompense of the Lord for the idol worship, rebellion, and disobedience. In my humble opinion, the many devastating things that are taking place today, like the spread of t…

This portion of scripture epitomizes what was wrong and what is wrong today with the people of God and that is, we are too reactive, as opposed to being more proactive, when it comes to our obedience to God and His plan of salvation for humanity. There is an old adage that seems to be applicable here: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cur…

Here we should learn that God was very displeased with His people. As then, even now, the people of God gradually move away from His instructions. Disobedience provoked God then and now, to bring adversity of one sort or another into the lives of His people. God reminded His people then of the great blessings He put in their lives and also now by t…

Here we find a reference to a young woman that wakes in the night and finds her lover gone. She got up in the night (meaning heaviness in the heart and soul), because her lover was gone. She inquired of the city’s watchmen to no avail. However, she did not stop searching for him until she found him. And when she did, he came displaying his glory. T…

Here we understand that David’s confidence was such that as it was so should it be now; that when people mistreat us say things about us that aren’t so, even when afflictions befall is our confidence remain strong.

Here we should learn that when we the people of God seek Him in sincerity and in truth He gets joy. When He gets joy He will grant unto us the petitions that we require of Him.

Here we should learn that when God enables us to recognize that He is making a change, and He is making choices in our life, we should not become bitter, but become aggressive in promoting God‘s plan. David went above and beyond in giving to build the house of the Lord, and he blessed the Lord for allowing his son to succeed him as king. Let us tak…

When there is rebellion against God and His people, and rejection of His instructions, it is fruitless to think that God will demonstrate mercy; unless there is true repentance. The king was sick, and rather than seeking God, he sought to idle gods. Therefore, the word from the Lord that he would not be delivered was proven true because he did not …

The apostle made it clear then, and it is clear to us now, or should be, that God gave his only begotten son, that demonstrated what God wants us to do. When we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior, and follow the instruction of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we will please God, and he will bless us accordingly; even to living with him …

The wisdom here is a reminder of Christ's final coming to judgement; and that He will appear and when he does the people won’t be ready, and I might say, even now by what we see and hear and are experiencing it is very rare to find readiness for the Lord Jesus Christ. As we know God destroyed the whole world by water, except for Noah and his family…

God‘s inspiration for the writing of this excerpt of scripture is to remind us of the extent to which He went to affirm the redemption of, and salvation for, all of humanity. He gave his only begotten son, made in the form of a man, and not an angel. This was His wisdom for us all to know that He is not a respector of persons. Whosever will, let hi…

This story epitomizes true love. Paul praises the brethren for their love for him is thankful for how they constantly aided him.

When one has been forgiven th…

In this passage of scripture, we should learn that the elders in the church, that is the older men and women in the church, should be certain to teach and more particularly to demonstrate the gospel of Jesus Christ.

From this passage of scripture we should be encouraged with the wisdom that God allowed the apostle to write for our edification.

All Christians are admonished to treat each other with respect no matter who they are or whatever their socio-economic status and to put on spiritual armour against the enemies of their souls.
