The Book of Romans-Part 2-

Romans Chapter 12 to 16

Rom 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

Rom 12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 

Rom 12:11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Rom 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Rom 12:13  Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Rom 12:14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Rom 12:15  Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Rom 12:16  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Rom 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Rom 14:8  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Rom 14:9  For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Rom 14:11  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Rom 14:17  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Rom 15:13  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

May we never forget that all the verses in the bible from the smallest to the biggest are all wonderful. I have merely  quoted a few verses from the book of Romans ,never underestimating the power of the rest of the verse of this wounder letter of  Paul. or of this Book in its entirety. 

Each Letter of ST Paul, was written to the respective churches of that time , however,never ,least insignificant for the present time that we live. Each letter of  Paul, acts as a set of guidelines for a  believer for better spiritual walk with the Lord.

The Book of Romans -part 1

Dear brothers  and sisters. it has been a long time since  i have worked on my Blog.   I do admit that i have been very reluctant to post any new posting to my blog due to lack of information for a long time. However quite recently i have put an effort of reading the letter of St Paul. 

i would like to take this opportunity to post the following verse base on my reading that has  brought new insights to my thoughts. maybe many of these of verse are already known to you.

do refer to your Bible's always.!

Romans chapter 1 to Chapter 11

Rom 4:7  Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 

Rom 4:13  For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Rom 4:16  Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 

Rom 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 
Rom 5:2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 
Rom 5:3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 
Rom 5:4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 
Rom 5:5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 

Rom 5:6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 

Rom 6:13  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 

Rom 6:14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 

Rom 8:15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

Rom 8:26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 
Rom 8:27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Rom 8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 
Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 

Rom 8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

Rom 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

Rom 11:20  Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 

Rom 11:21  For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 

Rom 11:22  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 

Rom 11:23  And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 

Rom 11:24  For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

Commandments

Did it ever occur to you? To wonder how many commandments are there in the bible.
After hearing a speech from a Grate Man of God, who told that there are twice as much commandments in the New Testament than in the Old Testament?  I was completely alerted.  and for me it was more than a choice  to know them.


So I have listed them below, kindly follow the link:-
                                                                                  
        Old Testament                New Testament

For many it could be a learning, new piece of  knowledge.


Reading it might? Bring someone to confession.  Someone to decide to rededicate their life to God.
Or even bring someone to see an entirely different aspect of Christian Discipline which is expected from his Disciple.


I am no preacher, but I do see it necessary, to give out as much of the Word in these days. before the days of Trial and confusion comes haunting our way.  
I am the least of the learners among you, so let us read this together
      
If you are wondering who was the Man of God I was talking  about, it is: David Pawson

Promise of the BIBLE

Promises are words of assurance and hope are words that we are drone to in times of trial and in times where we are battling with our faith in this world.  Every day  is a battle for a believer, not only a battle with the world, but a greater battle is fought within ourselves (with our thoughts,our weaknesses,with our consciousness and especially that fight  we constantly endure which, we have with worldly us - against the spiritual being;within us). In such times like these we tend to look for a good word from someone,a word of assurance from this world, which can be hard to get and perhaps in our attempts it  has always failed us and perhaps  made us even more weaker , and sadder than before. and perhaps have led us to lose all our hopes and understanding.

 Do not be Dismayed- for the Lord is with you. In every form possible. The Lord was made flesh, and did live among us as (Christ the Lord)  and  now lives among us in the form of his Word

The Word -:The Bible guarantees ,provides and affirms  promises to his children ,so that we may have a strong faith and hope in the one True Lord. 

A year has 365 days!, we all know that. So would it be surprising to know that, The Bible offers the same amount of promise to  his children. YES! the Bible does offer 365 words of promises to us 

A promise for every day of the Year. so why wait.

Hold on to the promises
Study them,
Proclaim them.
Quote them in your prayers.
Recite them to yourself in time of your battles.
Tell it to your Children.
Offer it to a week  hearted person.

Remember King David in the bible. Who constantly wrote and sang  all that Psalms that we so much cherish. he wrote and sang them in the mist of all his battles, that  he had to fight in his life. Even when he was running away from King Soul.

let us too be strong in the word so that the Word might  make us  and live within us  .As we live in Christ.

  Behold:-The Finest. The strongest. The most valuable and life giving 365 promises in the Bible for his children.

King JOSIAH – Serving God In Youth

 

 

Unlike his evil grandfather and father, King Josiah tried to lead the people of Judah back to God. When he ordered the temple of the Lord cleaned and repaired, the high priest found the Book of the Law that had been lost and forgotten. Convicted by the words in the book, Josiah gathered all of the people together and read the Book of the Law to them. For the first time in hundreds of years, God’s people celebrated the Passover according to God’s law. Although the Word of God had been in the temple all along, it had not been read.

 

After the death of Solomon, the people of God had divided into two kingdoms – Israel and Judah. During the reign of Hezekiah, Israel had been captured by the Assyrians. Although Judah had had some good kings, it was often corrupt and was beginning to follow more and more in the footsteps of the rebellious Israel. 

At the age of eight Josiah inherited a corrupt kingdom that had turned away from the Lord. His father, Amon, had been the king of Israel only two years before his servants assassinated him.

Both Amon and his father, Manasseh, had done “evil in the eyes of the Lord” (2 Kings 21:20). Manasseh reigned fifty-five years, longer than any other king of Judah, and he was considered the wickedest king. It was Manasseh who introduced many forms of idolatry to Israel and broke Israel’s covenant with the Lord. Eventually, it was Manasseh’s sins that destroyed the nation and led it into captivity.

Taking over such a kingdom would have been bewildering to anyone, but Josiah showed great wisdom, for he “began to seek the God of his father David” in the eighth year of his reign (2 Chronicles. 34:3). By his “twelfth year” Josiah had instructed that idols were to be destroyed in Judah, Jerusalem, and throughout the land. In the eighteenth year of his reign he raised money to repair the temple.

It was during the work on the temple that a discovery was made – the Book of the Law was found. Scholars disagree whether this book included the entire Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) or only the Book of Deuteronomy. It may be that only Deuteronomy was found, since the reforms after this event are closely related to this book.

When Josiah read the Book of the Law, he was distressed and tore his clothes because of what it said. God’s Word told of the destruction that was to come to the nation because of the evil idolatry that had occurred under Manasseh and Amon.

The King sent Hilkiah, the priest, and four other officials to “inquire of the Lord”.  This was done by going to speak to the prophetess, Huldah.  Her message from God was that God’s judgement would fall on the people and their home.  Because of his genuine response to God King Josiah would not have to see this take place (2 Kings 22:13-20).  Later on we will find that this was a message with both “good new” and “bad news”.  The good news was that Josiah would not have to see the full measure of God’s wrath on the people.  The bad news was that he did not see it because he was killed in battle (2 Kings 23:29-30).

After Huldah’s prophesy, Josiah called all the people together to read God’s Word to them. Then he renewed the covenant to keep God’s commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and soul.  The people pleadged themselves to the same covenant (2 Kings 22:1-3).

Following that there was a major cleansing of the idolatrous altars and shrines of the high places.  The observance of the Passover was restored.

Josiah reigned from 640 to 609 B.C. During his reign Judah returned to reading God’s Word and experienced spiritual renewal. For his work Josiah is remembered as one of the greatest kings of Judah. “Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.” (2 Kings 23:25).

 

 

LESSONS that the young King Josiah leaves.

 a. He leaves an example of courage!
  He was a man consumed with following God’s will in life.

 b. He leaves an example of influence!
  2 Chron 34:33. The young King’s dedication to God was honored by those who were in his Kingdom. After him there would be no other King who would uphold the Truth.

 c. He leaves us an example of how to receive God’s Word!
  He shows us that we ought to “hear and heed” God’s Word! He listened and allowed it to sink deep within his heart. He was diligent in applying it to his life even it such was not to his liking.

  d. He leaves us an example of how to serve God even if no one else does!
  There was outward conformity to his decrees, but Judah’s heart was not converted. The nation was waiting for a change of Kings so they could once again bow to their idols. But he did not miss his opportunity to serve and urge others to do so! In lip the people honored God, but their hearts were far from God (Is 29:13). Regardless of the people’s pretense, Josiah remained firm in his devotion.

 e. He leaves us an example of true zeal for the Lord.
  He was guided by allegiance for God’s way. His motive was to restore the proper devotion/worship to God. His authority was strictly God’s revealed word. He zealously fought to restore pure and undefiled religion. Like him we should be dedicated in uprooting all that is false in religion and call people back to the purity of the Bible’s authority!

 

  f. He leaves us an example of how critical our youth are to God!
  As a young man he knew what was right and was determined to follow right. He knew that as a servant of God, he was obligated to use every power against sin. He acted, not with half-measures, not with popularity calculations, but with a fearlessness and determination that belongs only to one who knows the authority of the Almighty God! He urges young and old alike – never consent by silence to anything that dishonors God or that violates God’s Word.
