JEZEBEL’S ATROCITIES IN ISRAEL

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: JEZEBEL’S ATROCITIES IN ISRAEL 

TEXT: 1 KINGS 16: 29-30-34 

SATURDAY OCTOBER 21ST

Key verse: Revelation 17: 4. “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication”  
Sin and evil grew worse in Israel during King Ahab’s reign. People were bold in their defiance toward God, and His commands meant little to them but Baal worship increased. Baal was worshipped by the Canaanites as the god of fertility, rain, and vegetation. Baal worship included the evil practices of cult prostitution and child sacrifice. Jezebel’s devotion to Baal made her commit a lot of atrocities in Israel. God sent prophet Elijah whose powerful expression of faith and divine victories over the prophets of Baal was followed by uncharacteristic fear and discouragement because of Jezebel’s intention to kill him. Elijah had to flee. 
Jezebel further exhibited her wickedness when Naboth refused to release his vineyard to her husband, Ahab. She cooked up charges against him and got him stoned to death and thereafter Ahab took over the vineyard but God was angry and pronounced judgment against them; God destroyed his family. When Jezebel heard that Jehu came around, she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out of the window; this is a seductive attitude. All that use cosmetics and artificial hair for beauty and seduction are daughters of Jezebel who shall be judged as was Jezebel.
Jezebel wanted to replace the worship of God with Baal. She failed in her wickedness, witchcraft, treachery, and seduction. John used the name Jezebel to describe a false prophetess in Thyatira who was leading God’s people into worldly and immoral behavior. Sadly, many pastors; and wives today fall into the same category. Revelation 2:20 “Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols”.

Thought for the day: Worldliness is not godliness

Song for the day: Take the world and give me Jesus (2x) …

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 5-6; 1 Timothy 1

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
