The church that was turned into a Museum

What we think, we will become ...

Are you hiding?

"Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years, ² and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains." Judges 6:1,2

Let us focus on two things in the above verse:

1. They did evil
2. They build the caves

Let us start with the fact that they did evil, we see that God is ready to help us and deliver us from our problems but when we do evil, we drive Him away from us.

Paul was asking in the book of Romans who or what can separate us from God?
The only thing that is able to do it is sin.
Sin means to disobey God, missing the target.
According to the bible neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The only thing is sin.

That is why when Jesus was crucified He said Father why have you forsaken me, God cannot stand sin, but He loves the sinner and He wants to save us.

Ask yourself, have you been doing evil in the eyes of God?

If so it takes us to the second point, they build caves to hide from the enemies, normally when i person does evil they feel so ashamed that they want to hide.

They don't want to be exposed. We don't want others to know what we have done.

The truth is, God and the devil already knows what you have done, why let it hold you back.

Don't hide it anymore, 

Recognise and confess your sins to Him now.

And a new life with a clean conscience will start for you.

Hope it helps
God Bless you.

Share it with someone, you can save a soul.

Have you been asking Where are the Miracles?

¹² And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
¹³ Gideon said to Him, “O my lord,^[a] if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where areall His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now theLord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

Judges 6:12,13 NKJV

Gideon said: "Where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about?

I was meditating on this question after the service on Sunday, and another question was asked:

Where is the sacrifice?

If we are not seen the miracles, is because God is not seen the sacrifices.

One step forward, two backwards

Steve Jobs’ yacht

Posted: 5 days ago | In: Spiritual Intelligence

Before he died, Steve Jobs had been working for five years on the design of a yacht for his personal use. The yacht finally took to the water on Sunday, one year after the death of Apple’s genius. The cost was not disclosed but is estimated at tens of millions of dollars. At the inauguration, the yacht was named “Venus”, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and victory. Irony, or what?

I have nothing against those who become rich as a result of their hard work. Jobs worked, created, invented, inspired and enriched deservedly. Unfortunately, he did not live to enjoy the yacht he designed, among other things. He lost his battle against pancreatic cancer at the age of 56, and his entire fortune was not able to overcome death

It was because of people like him that Jesus told this story:

The farm of a certain rich man produced a terrific crop. He talked to himself: “What can I do? My barn isn’t big enough for this harvest.” Then he said, “Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll gather in all my grain and goods, and I’ll say to myself, “Lucky man! You’ve done well! You’ve got it made and can now retire. Take it easy and have the time of your life!” But God said to him, “Fool! Tonight you die. And your barn full of goods — who gets it?” That’s what happens when you lay up treasure for yourself, and are not rich toward God.”

This story is not a condemnation of the rich, but a warning to anyone who is rich and does not recognize the true wealth. God calls them “fools”. They know the value of a yacht, an airplane, a car, a company, a watch, a jewel, etc., but they do not know the value of life and of eternal life for that matter.

Whatever your bank balance may be, are you ready to die tonight? How is your balance in God’s account?
