JOSIAH THE YOUTH WITH ZEAL FOR

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: JOSIAH THE YOUTH WITH ZEAL FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 34: 1-7       

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 8th

Key verse: Matthew 6: 33. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you,
Idol worship has been one of the strong traditions parents pass over to their children for continuity. By this singular act of satanic worship, altars are erected in many places to serve this purpose and to renew the covenant from time to time. Idolatry was practiced among the children of God in Judah and Jerusalem. Josiah rose as a youth to do a great reform that reconciled his people back to God. Josiah was a youth that reigned over Judah and Jerusalem at the age of eight and did what was pleasing unto God. He walked in the ways of his father David by refusing to join them in this idol worshipping. 
By the time he was twelve years old, he started destroying all those altars, carved images, and places of idol worship. Josiah personally supervised this cleansing of the land by watching them destroy all those images and altars, the dust of which was sprinkled on the graves of those who made sacrifices to these images. He burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. He made sure this act of cleansing was carried out in all other towns and cities in Israel. For the thirty-one years that he ruled, he did everything that would please God.
After all these cleansing exercises, at the age of eighteen, he ordered the repair of the house of God. While doing this they found the money kept by the Levites from all collections and gave them to the priest. It was reported that all the men did the work faithfully. Another great discovery was the book of the law that was found. It was read to Josiah the king and he discovered that the great wrath of God awaited them because their fathers did not keep the word of the Lord. Josiah stood before God to appease Him by making a covenant and causing the people to do the same to serve Him and no other God.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
