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.

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20.

Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
