Jezebel's Atrocities In Israel

Saturday 25th April

Text: 1 KINGS 16: 29-30-34
Key Verse: "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." Revelation 17:4
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 the worship of Baal increased. Baal was worshipped by the Canaanites as the god of fertility, rain and vegetation. The worship of Baal 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 great 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 tied her head, and looked out of the window; this is seductive attitude. All those who use cosmetics and artificial hair for beauty and seduction are daughters of Jezebel, who shall be judged as Jezebel was.
Jezebel wanted to replace worship of God by 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 behaviour. It is sad that many pastors’ 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."

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
