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.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
