OUR INDIVIDUAL STANDING BEFORE GOD

July 26, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

OUR INDIVIDUAL STANDING BEFORE GOD

“And He said to them, you will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal Yourself!’ Whatever we have heard in Capernaum, do also here in Your country. Then He said, ‘Assuredly [verily, verily, KJV], I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his country.’”

Luke 4: 23,24, NKJV. (Read verses 16-30).

Then He added, “But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; and to none of them was Elijah sent, but ONLY to Zarepath, in the land of Sidon, unto a WOMAN WHO WAS A WIDOW. And there were MANY LEPERS IN ISRAEL in the time of Elisha the prophet; and NONE of them was cleansed, BUT only Naaman, the Syrian.” Luke 4:23-27, R.V.”

“By this revelation of events in the lives of the PROPHETS, Jesus met the questionings of His hearers. The servants whom God had chosen for a special work were not allowed to labor for a HARDHEARTED and UNBELIEVING people.”

SOME OF SATAN’S DEADLY SNARES & SCHEMES

February 12 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

SOME OF SATAN’S DEADLY SNARES & SCHEMES.

– “Worldly schemes, worldly investments, made to please and glorify self, bring no returns worth having. God condemns them, and what God condemns is not safe for any living soul to practice.” UL 234. 

“Financial speculations are Satan’s snares, laid to catch souls. Satan engrossed men’s minds with dream-like prospects of great gain, and in their greed for gain, those who yield to him, make representations which are positively untrue. God and truth are forgotten. God desires His servants to AVOID ALL SPECULATION.

Satan may pave the way by making the FIRST investment successful, but O, how bitter will be the final outcome! If the professing Christian has success in his first speculation, his ruin is almost certain! Visionary schemes are wildly entered into as schemers present promising enterprises, which declare will pay a large percentage on all money invested. [Even] good men are fascinated and deceived.” UL 21.

Satan, prince of our fallen world, offers prosperity and fame to all who are willing to compromise their convictions.


It is my prayer that none us will fall for any of Satan’s snares and schemes, as many have and will continue to be! “Submit yourselves to God, resist the devil and he will flee away from you!”   NMF
