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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
