EAT, YOUR CHILDREN WILL PAY

Text:  2Kings 20:19  

At this, Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “What you’ve spoken from the LORD is good,” because he had been thinking, “Why not, as long as there’s peace and security in my lifetime…?_ ”

Human beings (young and old alike) have natural inclination to be selfish. Many are merely living for the present, and care little for what happens after their demise. But that's as far as a natural man goes. 

You however are not supposed to remain as a natural man but as a spiritual being. 

King Hezekiah was one of the few kings that did what was right in the sight of God in Israel.  And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.

2Chronicles  31:20.

Because our God is the only one who knows the end of a thing from the beginning. In Isaiah 46:10 He decided that Hezekiah's time was up, so he wouldn't mess up his good deeds. But Hezekiah wouldn't love to go by thw will of God. He got additional 15 years more after much pleadings (2 Kings 20:1-6).

During the additional 15years, Hezekiah messed up all the good things he had done. Hence,  Judgement was meted out to him, instead of sobering down, he said, the punishment was good in as much as he will experience peace during his time. 

The consequence of his actions was transgenerational.His children shall be castrated and taken as slaves to Babylon. Yet,  he was not perturbed because this will only take effect after his demise. 

Your actions and inactions today, will not just end with you, your children after you will reap its effects. 

It takes an irresponsible parent to eat and expect his children to pay.

 A good person leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren,   but the wealth of the wicked is reserved for the righteous.Pro 13:22 ISV

 *Don't just live for the "NOW". Intentionally live a life that generations after you will call you blessed.* 

Bible reading: 2 Kings 20:1-21.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
