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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
