LUNES 5 DE MAYO DE 2025 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA “Fue firme la palabra de Jonadab hijo de Recab, el cual mandó a sus hijos que no bebiesen vino, y no lo han bebido hasta hoy, por obedecer al mandamiento de su padre; y yo os he hablado a vosotros desde temprano y sin cesar, y no me habéis oído.” (Jeremías 35:14) Es lamentable que Dios haya tenido que mencionar la descendencia de Jonadab, hijo de Recab, como ejemplo de permanencia en las normas de conducta que les había dado, y que por 200 años habían cumplido fielmente los recabitas. Dios se queja de su pueblo. Lo reta a que vean como responden los recabitas al ser tentados a romper sus leyes. ¿Cuánto tiempo perdurará nuestro legado? ¿Cómo responderán nuestros descendientes a los retos mundanos? ¿La forma de vida que ven en nosotros los hacen obedecer a Dios con alegría? (Gina Sánchez) -- Te damos la bienvenida a nuestras reflexiones diarias. Cada día leemos y meditamos en una porción bíblica, para encontrar revelación de Dios que encamine nuestros pasos y haga próspero nuestro camino.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1====================================================DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA VESPERTINA“SALMOS”Narrado por: Joyce VejarDesde: Arizona, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church28 DE ABRIL SALMO 26:1 «Júzgame, oh Jehová, porque yo en mi integridad he andado; he confiado asimismo en Jehová sin titubear» (SAL. 26:1).  «Salmo de David». El dulce cantor de Israel está delante de nosotros en este salmo como alguien que sufre reproche; en esto era el tipo del gran Hijo de David, y un ejemplo alentador para que llevemos la carga de la calumnia al trono de la gracia. Es una suposición ingeniosa la de que esta apelación al cielo fue escrita por David en el tiempo del asesinato de Isboset por Baaná y Recab, para protestar su inocencia de toda participación en aquel asesinato a traición. El tenor del salmo ciertamente está de acuerdo con la supuesta ocasión, pero no es posible ir más allá de la conjetura con datos tan endebles.  Júzgame, oh Jehová. Una apelación así no debe hacerse de modo precipitado en ninguna ocasión; y en toda nuestra vida no debería hacerse en modo alguno, a menos que estemos justificados en Cristo Jesús; una oración mucho más apropiada para un mortal pecador es la súplica: «No entres en juicio con tu siervo».  Porque yo en mi integridad he andado. David tenía la integridad como principio, y andaba en ella como práctica. No había usado medios solapados o torcidos para ganar la corona y conservarla; sabía perfectamente que era guiado por los principios más nobles del honor en todas sus acciones referentes a Saúl y su familia.  ¡Qué consuelo es tener la aprobación de la conciencia propia! Si hay paz dentro del alma, las borrascas de la calumnia que tanto aúllan alrededor de nosotros no tienen mucha importancia. Cuando el pajarillo en mi seno canta una canción alegre, no me importa si ululan alrededor de mí cien lechuzas.  He confiado asimismo en Jehová sin titubear. ¿Por qué debo robar, cuando Dios ha prometido suplir mi necesidad? ¿Por qué debo vengarme, cuando sé que el Señor ha adoptado mi causa? La confianza en Dios es la seguridad más efectiva contra el pecado.

Jeremiah 35 NLT read aloud by Simon MacFarlane. 1 This is the message the Lord gave Jeremiah when Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah: 2 “Go to the settlement where the families of the Recabites live, and invite them to the Lord's Temple. Take them into one of the inner rooms, and offer them some wine.” 3 So I went to see Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah and all his brothers and sons—representing all the Recabite families. 4 I took them to the Temple, and we went into the room assigned to the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God. This room was located next to the one used by the Temple officials, directly above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the Temple gatekeeper. 5 I set cups and jugs of wine before them and invited them to have a drink, 6 but they refused. “No,” they said, “we don't drink wine, because our ancestor Jehonadab son of Recab gave us this command: ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine. 7 And do not build houses or plant crops or vineyards, but always live in tents. If you follow these commands, you will live long, good lives in the land.' 8 So we have obeyed him in all these things. We have never had a drink of wine to this day, nor have our wives, our sons, or our daughters. 9 We haven't built houses or owned vineyards or farms or planted crops. 10 We have lived in tents and have fully obeyed all the commands of Jehonadab, our ancestor. 11 But when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked this country, we were afraid of the Babylonian and Syrian armies. So we decided to move to Jerusalem. That is why we are here.” 12 Then the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah: 13 “This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: Go and say to the people in Judah and Jerusalem, ‘Come and learn a lesson about how to obey me. 14 The Recabites do not drink wine to this day because their ancestor Jehonadab told them not to. But I have spoken to you again and again, and you refuse to obey me. 15 Time after time I sent you prophets, who told you, “Turn from your wicked ways, and start doing things right. Stop worshiping other gods so that you might live in peace here in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you would not listen to me or obey me. 16 The descendants of Jehonadab son of Recab have obeyed their ancestor completely, but you have refused to listen to me.' 17 “Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you refuse to listen or answer when I call, I will send upon Judah and Jerusalem all the disasters I have threatened.'” 18 Then Jeremiah turned to the Recabites and said, “This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have obeyed your ancestor Jehonadab in every respect, following all his instructions.' 19 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jehonadab son of Recab will always have descendants who serve me.'”

2 Kings 10 NLT read aloud by Simon MacFarlane. 1 Ahab had seventy sons living in the city of Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the elders and officials of the city, and to the guardians of King Ahab's sons. He said, 2 “The king's sons are with you, and you have at your disposal chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weapons. As soon as you receive this letter, 3 select the best qualified of your master's sons to be your king, and prepare to fight for Ahab's dynasty.” 4 But they were paralyzed with fear and said, “We've seen that two kings couldn't stand against this man! What can we do?” 5 So the palace and city administrators, together with the elders and the guardians of the king's sons, sent this message to Jehu: “We are your servants and will do anything you tell us. We will not make anyone king; do whatever you think is best.” 6 Jehu responded with a second letter: “If you are on my side and are going to obey me, bring the heads of your master's sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the seventy sons of the king were being cared for by the leaders of Samaria, where they had been raised since childhood. 7 When the letter arrived, the leaders killed all seventy of the king's sons. They placed their heads in baskets and presented them to Jehu at Jezreel. 8 A messenger went to Jehu and said, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” So Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the city gate, and leave them there until morning.” 9 In the morning he went out and spoke to the crowd that had gathered around them. “You are not to blame,” he told them. “I am the one who conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these? 10 You can be sure that the message of the Lord that was spoken concerning Ahab's family will not fail. The Lord declared through his servant Elijah that this would happen.” 11 Then Jehu killed all who were left of Ahab's relatives living in Jezreel and all his important officials, his personal friends, and his priests. So Ahab was left without a single survivor. 12 Then Jehu set out for Samaria. Along the way, while he was at Beth-eked of the Shepherds, 13 he met some relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. “Who are you?” he asked them. And they replied, “We are relatives of King Ahaziah. We are going to visit the sons of King Ahab and the sons of the queen mother.” 14 “Take them alive!” Jehu shouted to his men. And they captured all forty-two of them and killed them at the well of Beth-eked. None of them escaped. 15 When Jehu left there, he met Jehonadab son of Recab, who was coming to meet him. After they had greeted each other, Jehu said to him, “Are you as loyal to me as I am to you?” “Yes, I am,” Jehonadab replied. “If you are,” Jehu said, “then give me your hand.” So Jehonadab put out his hand, and Jehu helped him into the chariot. 16 Then Jehu said, “Now come with me, and see how devoted I am to the Lord.” So Jehonadab rode along with him. 17 When Jehu arrived in Samaria, he killed everyone who was left there from Ahab's family, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah. 18 Then Jehu called a meeting of all the people of the city and said to them, “Ahab's worship of Baal was nothing compared to the way I will worship him! 19 Therefore, summon all the prophets and worshipers of Baal, and call together all his priests. See to it that every one of them comes, for I am going to offer a great sacrifice to Baal. Anyone who fails to come will be put to death.” But Jehu's cunning plan was to destroy all the worshipers of Baal. 20 Then Jehu ordered, “Prepare a solemn assembly to worship Baal!” So they did. 21 He sent messengers throughout all Israel summoning those who worshiped Baal. They all came—not a single one remained behind—and they filled the temple of Baal from one end to the other. 22 And Jehu instructed the keeper of the wardrobe, “Be sure that every worshiper of Baal wears one of these robes.” So robes were given to them[...]

O Exemplo dos Recabitas Leitura bíblica Jeremias 35.1-19, Jeremias 36.1-32, Joel 2.15-17, Lucas 16.29-31. O último camião dos bombeiros acabou de desaparecer pela nossa entrada. Os bosques foram completamente encharcados com água e embora os olhos dos meus filhos sejam grandes, as suas histórias já são ainda maiores. Ainda consigo cheirar o vapor da madeira molhada, e o vento é tão forte como há trinta minutos, quando uma pequena chama apanhou o vento e voou através das folhas mortas, espalhando-se pela colina abaixo, antes que eu conseguisse voltar a controlá-lo. Todos e tudo está bem, mas não posso deixar de me perguntar: Será que eu poderia ter evitado isto? Eu não tenho uma grande história com o fogo. Quando era criança, aparentemente deixei uma vela acesa numa cama coberta por um cobertor e certos adultos responsáveis ainda acham por bem trazê-la à baila todas as Páscoas. (Seria de pensar que eu teria aprendido, certo?) Mas apesar de todas as minhas transgressões passadas relacionadas com o fogo, creio que devo ser perdoado destes erros, uma vez que tudo acabou por correr bem no final. Estamos habituados a pensar na graça de Deus como um cartão "sair da prisão livre", um cartão que está indiscriminadamente disponível para cobrir tudo. Esta é a curvatura natural do coração humano. Não vemos assim tanto mal na forma como vivemos, porque vivemos numa cultura de auto-definição: Eu decido o que é certo para mim, e ninguém me deve julgar por isso. Mas o que acontece a essa lógica quando nos encontramos frente a frente com um Deus santo? Sabemos o que diz a Palavra de Deus. Mas será que ouvimos? Deus apresentou-nos o exemplo dos recabitas, em contraste com a cultura promíscua de Judá sob o reinado de Joaquim. Os recabitas ouviam as palavras do seu antepassado, Jonadab, enquanto Judá nem sequer escutava a Palavra de Deus. Os recabitas continuaram em obediência, geração após geração, resultando na garantia de Deus de que "Jonadab, filho de Recab, nunca deixará de ter um homem para estar sempre diante [de Deus]" (Jeremias 35.19). Entretanto, Judá continuou na sua rebelião, apesar de repetidos avisos proféticos. O povo de Judá tinha endurecido tanto os seus corações que descartou completamente as terríveis advertências do juízo iminente de Deus feitas pelo rei - atirando as advertências para o fogo. No contexto desta passagem, esta teimosia é chocante e perturbadora. Mas seremos nós tão diferentes? A verdade começa com notícias duras: Os nossos corações "são mais enganosos do que qualquer outra coisa" (Jeremias 17.9). O reconhecimento deste facto leva-nos à próxima verdade: temos de lidar com um Deus Santo. O que podemos fazer face ao Seu justo julgamento? Não podemos curar os nossos próprios corações, e Ele não pode tolerar a maldade, nem será enganado ou ridicularizado (Gálatas 6.7). O coração endurecido responde ao evangelho como Joaquim: com negação e incredulidade. Um coração assim põe de lado cada aviso, rejeitando arrogantemente a autoridade e santidade de Deus. E "é uma coisa aterradora cair nas mãos do Deus vivo" (Hebreus 10.31). Há apenas o caminho da vida ou o caminho da morte. O nosso Deus misericordioso abre a porta do modo de vida, mesmo a Judá rebelde: "Talvez quando a casa de Judá ouvir falar de todo o desastre que estou a planear causar-lhes, cada um deles se desvie do seu mau caminho. Então eu perdoarei a sua iniquidade e o seu pecado" (Jeremias 36.3). Deus não só oferece a

2 Samuel 4 NLT read aloud by Simon MacFarlane. 1 When Ishbosheth, Saul's son, heard about Abner's death at Hebron, he lost all courage, and all Israel became paralyzed with fear. 2 Now there were two brothers, Baanah and Recab, who were captains of Ishbosheth's raiding parties. They were sons of Rimmon, a member of the tribe of Benjamin who lived in Beeroth. The town of Beeroth is now part of Benjamin's territory 3 because the original people of Beeroth fled to Gittaim, where they still live as foreigners. 4 (Saul's son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth, who was crippled as a child. He was five years old when the report came from Jezreel that Saul and Jonathan had been killed in battle. When the child's nurse heard the news, she picked him up and fled. But as she hurried away, she dropped him, and he became crippled.) 5 One day Recab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, went to Ishbosheth's house around noon as he was taking his midday rest. 6 The doorkeeper, who had been sifting wheat, became drowsy and fell asleep. So Recab and Baanah slipped past her. 7 They went into the house and found Ishbosheth sleeping on his bed. They struck and killed him and cut off his head. Then, taking his head with them, they fled across the Jordan Valley through the night. 8 When they arrived at Hebron, they presented Ishbosheth's head to David. “Look!” they exclaimed to the king. “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul who tried to kill you. Today the Lord has given my lord the king revenge on Saul and his entire family!” 9 But David said to Recab and Baanah, “The Lord, who saves me from all my enemies, is my witness. 10 Someone once told me, ‘Saul is dead,' thinking he was bringing me good news. But I seized him and killed him at Ziklag. That's the reward I gave him for his news! 11 How much more should I reward evil men who have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed? Shouldn't I hold you responsible for his blood and rid the earth of you?” 12 So David ordered his young men to kill them, and they did. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies beside the pool in Hebron. Then they took Ishbosheth's head and buried it in Abner's tomb in Hebron.

We rightly love the Christmas Story. We know that God arranged the whole scene, but few know the connection to Jabez' prayer. “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. And they were terrified. But the angels said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” The phrase, “living out in the fields” is the word, “Agrueleo,” and is only used in this place in the New Testament. An active participle, it indicates that this was their habitual practice. In other words, they always lived in the fields. That was their home. These shepherds were the shepherds that raised the lambs that were sacrificed in the temple. But again, why was their permanent residence in the field? Even to this day, if you go to Israel and the guides will lead you to the area outside of Bethlehem, and it's called the Shepherds Fields. Why were they there? In Genesis 35:19-21, after Rachel died and Jacob buried her, he traveled a little bit further and he pitched his tent in beyond the Tower of Eder.Why is that important? Because “Eder” means the flock, and it's actually picked up later in a prophecy in Micah 4:8, which says, “O Tower of the Flock, the stronghold of the Daughter of Zion to you, shall it come (or to you he shall come.)” And this, of course, connects with Luke Chapter 8, because as we read later on, Jewish tradition made this tower Jesus' birthplace this long before Christ came into the world. Who built this tower? We don't know. But going all the way back now to the time of Abraham, 2000 years before Christ a tower was erected, Jewish rabbis said it'd be the site where the Messiah would come. Jerome, in the fourth century saw in this tower the foreshadowing of the announcement of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ to the shepherds, the ones that kept living in the fields. Today it answers to a place called Khirbet Sara, which is called “The Ruin of the Sheepfold.” It's very interesting that archeologists have gone to this place, and they have found all kinds of Christian artifacts showing that early on this was a place of worship. 1st Chronicles 4:9 reads, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother called him Jabez saying, because ‘I bore him in pain.'” Kind of a rough name to give to a kid because it basically means he causes pain. “Jabez called on the God of Israel.” Now this is a noble, honorable man, according to Scripture, and he prays “that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that your hand would be with me, that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.” Basically, he prays “I don't want to live up to my name.” We have to understand that in Hebrew thought the name your parents gave you was actually the name God already had planned for you before you were born, and it described your character. We see that playing out a lot in Scripture, in the names that were given to people. Jabez did not want to live up to his name. He did not want to be a source of pain. And then it says, “and so God granted him what he requested.” He requested God's blessing for enlarged territory. Jabez was not praying for literal territory when he prayed that God would enlarge his territory or enlarge his holdings. He was an honorable man. He was a noble man. He was thinking in spiritual terms. Which would you rather have? A big ranch or eternal impact? What would you rather have? Would you rather have holdings in this world? Or would you rather have impact in history and reward and eternity? Jabez was praying for something much, much bigger, than what most people think of. How do we know that God answered this prayer? And why in the world will this relate to the shepherds in the field? Well, if you just slide over to 1st Chronicles 2:54-55 which says, “54 The sons of Salma were Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atroth Beth Joab, half of the Manahethites, and the Zorites. And the families of the scribes who dwelt at Jabez were the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and the Suchathites. These were the Kenites who came from Hammath, the father of the house of Rechab.” you know, the Kennites were not Jews. They came from Moses, father-in-law, Jethro, who came from Hamath, the father of the House of Recab. Now, I know you think that we've already lost the trail, but we're just closing in on it. The Tower of Eder, which stood just outside the village that later is called Bethlehem, was the former site of a village of Jabez. Jabez' Prayer began by a village being named for him near the Tower of Eder. And who were the Kennites? Not Jews, but people who later actually married into the Levitival priesthood. Notice the important words here. They were scribes who dwelt at Jabez. The job of the scribe was to copy the scriptures, to study the Scriptures and to teach the Scriptures. The beginning of the answer to Jabez prayer was a group of people, not even Jews, but proselytes, who came in because of faith, and they became the leading Bible scholars of their time. It tells us at the end of the verse as well that they were of the House of Recab. 1500 years later, in Jeremiah 35, we see more of the Recabites. Jeremiah wanted to use these people as an example to the children of Israel of what faithfulness should look like. Jeremiah is told, “bring them into the House of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.” So, Jeremiah said, I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah. The son of “who and who....” “His brothers and all his sons, the whole house of the Rechabites. I brought them into the House of the Lord, into the chamber of the Sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah.” They really get into the genealogies here. “A man of God, which was by the chamber of the Princes above the chamber,” and so on and so forth. Verse five says, “I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabite bowls full of wine and cups, and I said, ‘Drink wine.'” Jeremiah's doing what God commanded him to do. “But they said, we will drink no wine for Jonadab, the son of Rechab.” Once again, keep in mind the link back to First Chronicles. “Our father commanded us saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, you nor your sons forever.'” That was not the only requirement he placed on them, however. Verse seven says, “You shall not build a house or sow seed or plant a vineyard, nor have any of these. All your days you shall dwell in tents that you may live many days in the land where you are sojourners.” The Rechabites through all their generations, became shepherds and lived in tents. And as we come down to Jeremiah's commendation of these people, he says in verse 16, “Surely the sons of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them. But this people, meaning Israel, God says, has not obeyed me. Therefore, thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel. Behold, I will bring on Judah, all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the doom that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard. I have called to them, but they have not answered. And Jeremiah said to the House of the Rechabites, “Thus says the Lord God of hosts the God of Israel, because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father and kept all his precepts have done according to all that he commanded you. Therefore, thus, as the Lord God of host the God of Israel, Jonadab, the Son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before me forever. Can you connect this unique group of people who took a vow that they would always remain nomads and shepherds who were linked to the village that once stood slightly outside of Bethlehem, all the way down to the shepherds that ultimately stood before the Lord. According to this promise. “He will not like a man to stand before me.” By the way, the phrase stand before me has a priestly connotation. My conviction is that these shepherds were living in the same place they had always lived, lived in the same way they had always lived, were doing the same things they had always done, continued to remain students of God's word. Obviously. And they were the first ones that were invited to meet the Savior as he entered the world. That's pretty amazing. But it's not as amazing as what happened and what they witnessed. You know, Paul captures the first Christmas in a way this the simple story can't. We love the story in its simplicity, its oriental beauty, and it's so amazingly beautiful, but it doesn't come close to capturing what that little child represented. When Paul tells us in Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind being you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to cling to or a thing to grasped. But He made Himself of no reputation and came in the form of a man and being found in existence as a man. He humbled Himself even further unto death. Even the death of the cross.” That all began right here. That was that huge step that our Savior took from his throne in heaven down into this world full of sin, sorrow and suffering. For what? To live a life of rejection. A life misunderstood. A life of slander and maligning. And ultimately, to go to the cross. For you and I. to pay the penalty for our sins, and not just for ours. But as John tells us, “for the sins of the entire world.” We should stand as we do today, preparing to celebrate Christmas with the reverence, amazement, humility. Our souls should be struck with the beauty, but also the grandeur and the greatness of everything that our Savior has done for us.

SU HIJO IS-BOSET había asumido el trono sobre las diez tribus del norte de Israel con el respaldo de Abner, general del ejército. Mientras tanto, David reinaba sobre Judá, pero su poderío aumentaba cada día.Recab y Baana eran capitanes del ejército de Is-boset y veían en su rey a un hombre débil y sin capacidad de liderazgo. Luego que Abner murió a manos de Joab, los hermanos Recab y Baana notaron que David asumiría el reino de todo Israel y desearían tener un alto puesto en su gobierno. Con la astucia de asesinos, «entraron en la casa de Is-boset, mientras este dormía la siesta en su alcoba [...] lo mataron y le cortaron la cabeza» (2 Sam. 4: 5, 7).En los reinos cananeos que rodeaban a Israel la traición era bien apreciada. Fue así que Recab y Baana creyeron que su regicidio sería sumamente valorado por el flamante rey y entonces «juego, al llegar a Hebrón, le entregaron la cabeza al rey David» (v. 7-8). Lo que estos hermanos jamás imaginaron era que su acto temerario les costaría la vida.¿Por qué Recab y Baana creyeron agradar a David matando a Is-boset? Porque no conocían a David ni al Dios al que él adoraba.Con una mirada profética, Jesús abrió las ventanas del futuro diciendo: «Llegará el momento en que cualquiera que los mate, pensará que rinde un servicio a Dios». ¿Cómo es posible que alguien crea que matando a otros está rindiendo un servicio a Dios? Esas personas estarán cometiendo el mismo error de Recab y Baana, sencillamente por no conocer a Dios. La falta de conocimiento los llevará a pensar que es posible ejercer la fuerza para dominar la conciencia, olvidando que el método de Dios no es la fuerza sino el amor.Los adventistas que hemos estudiado las profecías, sabemos que algún día las leyes mundiales propondrán el domingo como día de adoración. También sabemos que hombres de todo el mundo se unirán para eliminar a quienes se opongan a dicha ley, y es así que entendemos que los adventistas seremos perseguidos por nuestra fe.Nosotros, que en la actualidad gozamos de paz y libertad para adorar a Dios debemos aprovechar el tiempo que nos queda para conocer profundamente a Dios a través de la Biblia. Jamás debemos permitir que la comodidad, la indolencia o la pereza nos quiten el tiempo sagrado de comunión con él. Ese conocimiento será vital para sobrevivir en el fin del tiempo del fin.

Lee 2 Samuel 4:1–12 La Segunda Guerra Mundial duró de 1939 a 1945. Si bien murieron alrededor de 55 millones de personas, los efectos de ese conflicto se extendieron mucho más allá de las vidas perdidas. Después de la muerte del rey Saúl, Israel se vio envuelto en una guerra civil durante siete años. En una batalla, un capitán del ejército se lamentó: “¿Vamos a dejar que siga esta matanza?” (2 Samuel 2:26). El conflicto había sido largo y agotador. La lectura de hoy narra el episodio final de este período oscuro de la historia de Israel. Durante años, Isboset había estado luchando por su derecho a ser rey, pero las cosas no iban bien. El general de su ejército había sido asesinado en Hebrón (2 Samuel 4:1). No quedaba mucha esperanza de victoria. Dos líderes del ejército de Isboset deciden tomar el asunto en sus propias manos. Se colaron en la casa de Isboset y lo mataron mientras dormía (vv. 5–6). Cortándole la cabeza y las manos como prueba de su muerte, huyeron al cuartel general de David. Asumieron erróneamente que, al entregarle el cuerpo del rival de David, serían recompensados ​​generosamente. Es interesante examinar lo que hizo David durante este tiempo. Él no conspiró o planificó para reclamar el trono. No mató a sus rivales. En cambio, el autor presenta a David sabiendo esperar bien: dirigiendo funerales, escribiendo lamentos, teniendo hijos y administrando justicia. En contraste, Joab, Abner, Recab y Ban eran todos oportunistas, dispuestos a derramar sangre para hacer avanzar su causa. David sabía que había sido ungido por el Señor y esperó Su tiempo. De acuerdo con los requisitos de la Ley para el asesinato de una persona inocente, David nuevamente impartió justicia. A menudo la vida cristiana está llena de tiempos de espera en Dios. Estos períodos de espera son a menudo los momentos en los que más nos vemos obligados a confiar en Dios. David conocía bien esta dinámica. Sus Salmos a menudo nos alientan: “Pon tu esperanza en el SEÑOR; ten valor, cobra ánimo; ¡pon tu esperanza en el SEÑOR!” (Salmos 27:14). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Möge die Macht mit uns sein - und die Zeit. Denn OBI-WAN KENOBI ist vorbei und darüber wollen Andi, Luc aka Nerdfactory und Schröck natürlich reden. Dazu soll es heute aber auch noch um BLACK PHONE - SPRICH NIE MIT FREMDEN, ELVIS, A DAY TO DIE, die isländische Buddy-Cop-Actioncomedy COP SECRET oder einen der wirklich unangenehmsten und härtesten Filme des Jahres gehen: ANIMALS - WIE WILDE TIERE. Ein Werk, das ernsthaft mit Vorsicht zu genießen ist. Außerdem haben wir noch jede Menge Heimkino im Angebot. Zum Beispiel CLIFF WALKERS oder BELIEVER, zwei asiatische Thriller, die frisch auf DVD und Bluray erschienen sind. Parallel dazu geht's kurz noch mal um DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, der gerade frisch auf Disney+ gestartet ist, sowie THE MAN FROM TORONTO, der jetzt bei Netflix erscheint.

Last but not least: BILLIG ODER WILL ICH. Infolgedessen schauen wir uns die ersten Bilder zu den Orks aus der Amazon-Serie HERR DER RINGE: DIE RINGE DER MACHT und die ersten Set-Eindrücke von FURIOSA an - mit ein wenig Rumgehende, das vielleicht auch den einen oder anderen Tick zu lang geht. Aber gut, es ist halt Lucs erstes Mal bei KINOPLUS, mit jeder Menge Lieblingsthemen von ihm, da herrscht halt schon mal Redebedarf. Und genau deswegen ist er bei uns auch genau richtig aufgehoben. Wir hoffen, Ihr heißt ihn genauso herzlich willkommen. Und natürlich, dass Ihr sowohl viel Vergnügen mit dieser neuen Folge habt, als auch dass Eure Watchlisten wieder reichlich gefüllt werden.

Llega el aviso de la muerte de Abner al hijo de Saúl y éste lo llora. El hijo de Jonatán, Mefibóset, escapó con la ayuda de su nodriza pero quedó cojo en la huída. Dos hombres, Recab y Baaná, llegaron a la casa de Isbaal y, mientras dormía, lo hirieron de muerte, tomarón su cabeza y se la llevarón a David. David ordenó la muerte de los hombres que tomarón la vida de un hombre justo de forma cobarde... Hoy leemos 2 Samuel 4; 1 Crónicas 5-6; Salmo 26.

SHOW NOTES:   In Podcast Episode 163, “The Dangers of Inconsistent Boundaries,” Kim discusses the challenges for all who need to interact with someone with inconsistent boundaries. This also presents challenges for the one with inconsistent boundaries, compromising any chances of intimate relationships.   The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 4:1-12 with 9-12 as the focal verses.   9 But David said to Recab and Baanah, “The Lord, who saves me from all my enemies, is my witness. 10 Someone once told me, ‘Saul is dead,' thinking he was bringing me good news. But I seized him and killed him at Ziklag. That's the reward I gave him for his news! 11 How much more should I reward evil men who have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed? Shouldn't I hold you responsible for his blood and rid the earth of you?” 12 So David ordered his young men to kill them, and they did. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies beside the pool in Hebron. Then they took Ishbosheth's head and buried it in Abner's tomb in Hebron.   ADDITIONAL VERSES, etc.:   13 Then David said to the young man who had brought the news, “Where are you from?” And he replied, “I am a foreigner, an Amalekite, who lives in your land.” 14 “Why were you not afraid to kill the Lord's anointed one?” David asked. 15 Then David said to one of his men, “Kill him!” So the man thrust his sword into the Amalekite and killed him. 16 “You have condemned yourself,” David said, “for you yourself confessed that you killed the Lord's anointed one.” (2 Samuel 1:13-16)   39 And even though I am the anointed king, these two sons of Zeruiah—Joab and Abishai—are too strong for me to control. So may the Lord repay these evil men for their evil deeds.” (2 Samuel 3:39) Weekly Assignment Feature:    Ask the Lord to reveal to you if you are one with inconsistent boundaries.    Additional Resources:   For more on the Overcast podcast app, go to https://overcast.fm/   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.    RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Samuel PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

Nehemías 3:14 R-V 1960 Reedificó la puerta del Muladar Malquías hijo de Recab, gobernador de la provincia de Bet-haquerem; él la reedificó, y levantó sus puertas, sus cerraduras y sus cerrojos.

A adoração aos obeliscos (baals) era proeminente nos tempos do Antigo Testamento, quando os israelitas desviaram-se da adoração ao único Deus Verdadeiro, e começaram a adorar deuses pagãos, com até mais fervor que os próprios pagãos. Em duas ocasiões diferentes, Deus levantou reis justos que trouxeram o povo de volta à adoração ao Deus Verdadeiro. Nessas duas ocasiões, Deus fez esses reis destruirem totalmente os centros pagãos de adoração, os altares e os obeliscos. Veja: II Reis 10, 23-27: “Em seguida Jeú e Jonadab filho de Recab entraram no templo de Baal, e o rei disse aos devotos de Baal: “Verificai bem se não há aqui entre vós algum cultor do Senhor , e se unicamente há devotos de Baal”. Eles entraram para oferecer sacrifícios e holocaustos. Ora, Jeú tinha postado do lado de fora 80 homens com a ameaça: “Se alguém de vós deixar escapar um dos homens que eu entregar nas vossas mãos, pagará com a vida. Quando Jeú acabou de oferecer o holocausto, ordenou aos guardas e oficiais: “Entrai e massacrai-os! Ninguém deve escapar!”Os guardas e oficiais os passaram ao fio da espada e lançaram fora da cidade. Depois voltaram ao templo de Baal, puseram fogo à estela do templo de Baal e a queimaram. Demoliram a estela e o templo de Baal, transformando-o em latrinas, que existem até hoje.”

Nehemiah 3 NLT read aloud by Simon MacFarlane. 1 Then Eliashib the high priest and the other priests started to rebuild at the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set up its doors, building the wall as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and the Tower of Hananel. 2 People from the town of Jericho worked next to them, and beyond them was Zaccur son of Imri. 3 The Fish Gate was built by the sons of Hassenaah. They laid the beams, set up its doors, and installed its bolts and bars. 4 Meremoth son of Uriah and grandson of Hakkoz repaired the next section of wall. Beside him were Meshullam son of Berekiah and grandson of Meshezabel, and then Zadok son of Baana. 5 Next were the people from Tekoa, though their leaders refused to work with the construction supervisors. 6 The Old City Gate was repaired by Joiada son of Paseah and Meshullam son of Besodeiah.

He was the leader of the other half of the district of Jerusalem. 13 The Valley Gate was repaired by the people from Zanoah, led by Hanun. They set up its doors and installed its bolts and bars.

He rebuilt it, set up its doors, and installed its bolts and bars. 15 The Fountain Gate was repaired by Shallum son of Col-hozeh, the leader of the Mizpah district. He rebuilt it, roofed it, set up its doors, and installed its bolts and bars. Then he repaired the wall of the pool of Siloam near the king's garden, and he rebuilt the wall as far as the stairs that descend from the City of David. 16 Next to him was Nehemiah son of Azbuk, the leader of half the district of Beth-zur. He rebuilt the wall from a place across from the tombs of David's family as far as the water reservoir and the House of the Warriors. 17 Next to him, repairs were made by a group of Levites working under the supervision of Rehum son of Bani. Then came Hashabiah, the leader of half the district of Keilah, who supervised the building of the wall on behalf of his own district. 18 Next down the line were his countrymen led by Binnui son of Henadad, the leader of the other half of the district of Keilah. 19 Next to them, Ezer son of Jeshua, the leader of Mizpah, repaired another section of wall across from the ascent to the armory near the angle in the wall. 20 Next to him was Baruch son of Zabbai, who zealously repaired an additional section from the angle to the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest.

Nehemías 3:13-19 (La Palabra) La Puerta del Valle la reconstruyeron Janún y los habitantes de Zanoaj; la reedificaron y montaron las hojas de las puertas con sus cerraduras y sus barras, restaurando además medio kilómetro de muralla, hasta la Puerta del Muladar. La Puerta del Muladar la restauró Malquías, hijo de Recab, jefe del distrito de Bet Jaquerén; la reedificó y colocó las hojas de sus puertas con sus cerraduras y sus barras. La Puerta de la Fuente la restauró Salún, hijo de Coljoze, jefe del distrito de Mispá. La reedificó, puso las vigas, colocó las hojas de sus puertas con sus cerraduras, sus barras y restauró también el muro del Estanque de Siloé, junto al Huerto del Rey, hasta la escalinata por la que se baja de la ciudad de David. Siguiendo sus pasos, Nehemías, hijo de Azbuc y jefe de la mitad del distrito de Bet Sur, continuó la obra de restauración hasta llegar a los sepulcros de David, la alberca artificial y la Casa de los Héroes. El tramo siguiente, correspondiente a su sector, lo restauraron los levitas Rejún, hijo de Baní y Jasabías, jefe de la mitad del distrito de Queila. Prosiguieron la restauración sus parientes, entre ellos Bavay, hijo de Jenadad, gobernador de la otra mitad del distrito de Queila. Por su parte, Ezer, hijo de Josué, jefe de Mispá, reconstruyó el tramo del Ángulo situado frente a la Subida de la Armería… PENSAR: ¿Para qué nos sirve tener tantos nombres de los constructores de la muralla, y los lugares que cada uno restauró? Para empezar, nos sirve para darnos cuenta que Nehemías no lo hizo todo él solo, sino que hubo muchas personas involucradas. Además, recibimos información valiosa en algunos casos sobre quiénes eran estas personas del pueblo. Así, nos conectamos con la historia de la reconstrucción, y nos vemos retratados como miembros de una comunidad que también requiere ser reconstruida. Hay que restaurar nuestra vida en lo económico, lo emocional, lo espiritual y lo social. Parece una tarea imposible, y sí lo es, cuando un solo individuo lo intenta hacer todo solo. Una obra tan grande es tarea de todo el pueblo. Por eso tenemos tantos nombres. Hay un sentido de comunidad en la tarea de reconstrucción. Y veremos que es necesario reconstruir no sólo las murallas, sino también las relaciones de justicia y la relación con Dios. Todos somos convocados a la tarea de reconstrucción, organizadamente para cumplir el objetivo, y nadie haciéndolo todo, sino sólo una porción posible. Así, una tarea imposible se hace posible. Nos damos cuenta, también, que los lugares restaurados ya tienen nombre. Esos nombres indican que ya hay una historia. Algunos de esos nombres alimentan el recuerdo y la nostalgia de otras épocas de grandeza. Las puertas y las esquinas de la ciudad de Dios tienen nombres. Así nos ubicamos en una tarea de restaurar una obra amada por Dios, no es cualquier reconstrucción. Tiene que ver con la historia de Dios en su intención de recuperar aquello que se había perdido. Cristo vino a buscar y a salvar nuestro corazón, que estaba perdido. Todos podemos hacer algo, todos estamos invitados y desafiados a reconstruir lo que Dios quiere hacer por nuestro mundo en este tiempo. ORAR: Señor, gracias por invitarnos a participar en la restauración de tu obra en el mundo. Amén. IR: “De la abundancia del corazón habla la boca”.

El relato bíblico presenta una amplia gama de caracteres que bien reflejan la naturaleza humana, desde lo bueno hasta lo malo. Baana y Recab nos recuerdan una actitud destestable aún hoy en día.

Jeremías 35:1-19. Palabra de Jehová que vino a Jeremías en días de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, diciendo: -Ve a casa de los recabitas y habla con ellos, e introdúcelos en la casa de Jehová, en uno de los aposentos, y dales a beber vino-. Tomé entonces a Jaazanías hijo de Jeremías, hijo de Habasinías, a sus hermanos, a todos sus hijos, y a toda la familia de los recabitas; y los llevé a la casa de Jehová, al aposento de los hijos de Hanán hijo de Igdalías, varón de Dios, el cual estaba junto al aposento de los príncipes, que estaba sobre el aposento de Maasías hijo de Salum, guarda de la puerta. Y puse delante de los hijos de la familia de los recabitas tazas y copas llenas de vino, y les dije: Bebed vino. Mas ellos dijeron: No beberemos vino; porque Jonadab hijo de Recab nuestro padre nos ordenó diciendo: No beberéis jamás vino vosotros ni vuestros hijos; ni edificaréis casa, ni sembraréis sementera, ni plantaréis viña, ni la retendréis; sino que moraréis en tiendas todos vuestros días, para que viváis muchos días sobre la faz de la tierra donde vosotros habitáis. Y nosotros hemos obedecido a la voz de nuestro padre Jonadab hijo de Recab en todas las cosas que nos mandó, de no beber vino en todos nuestros días, ni nosotros, ni nuestras mujeres, ni nuestros hijos ni nuestras hijas; y de no edificar casas para nuestra morada, y de no tener viña, ni heredad, ni sementera. Moramos, pues, en tiendas, y hemos obedecido y hecho conforme a todas las cosas que nos mandó Jonadab nuestro padre. Sucedió, no obstante, que cuando Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia subió a la tierra, dijimos: Venid, y ocultémonos en Jerusalén, de la presencia del ejército de los caldeos y de la presencia del ejército de los de Siria; y en Jerusalén nos quedamos. Y vino palabra de Jehová a Jeremías, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Ve y di a los varones de Judá, y a los moradores de Jerusalén: ¿No aprenderéis a obedecer mis palabras? dice Jehová. Fue firme la palabra de Jonadab hijo de Recab, el cual mandó a sus hijos que no bebiesen vino, y no lo han bebido hasta hoy, por obedecer al mandamiento de su padre; y yo os he hablado a vosotros desde temprano y sin cesar, y no me habéis oído. Y envié a vosotros todos mis siervos los profetas, desde temprano y sin cesar, para deciros: Volveos ahora cada uno de vuestro mal camino, y enmendad vuestras obras, y no vayáis tras dioses ajenos para servirles, y viviréis en la tierra que di a vosotros y a vuestros padres; mas no inclinasteis vuestro oído, ni me oísteis. Ciertamente los hijos de Jonadab hijo de Recab tuvieron por firme el mandamiento que les dio su padre; pero este pueblo no me ha obedecido. Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí traeré yo sobre Judá y sobre todos los moradores de Jerusalén todo el mal que contra ellos he hablado; porque les hablé, y no oyeron; los llamé, y no han respondido. Y dijo Jeremías a la familia de los recabitas: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Por cuanto obedecisteis al mandamiento de Jonadab vuestro padre, y guardasteis todos sus mandamientos, e hicisteis conforme a todas las cosas que os mandó; por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: No faltará de Jonadab hijo de Recab un varón que esté en mi presencia todos los días. Esperamos q esta Gota se convierta en un Manantial de Vida para ti. ¡Bendiciones!

Ieremia 35:1-10 - Sorin Prodan - Biserica Baptistă Providența Brașov 1 Cuvântul rostit către Ieremia din partea Domnului, pe vremea lui Ioiachim, fiul lui Iosia, împăratul lui Iuda, sună astfel: 2 „Du-te la casa recabiţilor, vorbeşte cu ei şi adu-i în Casa Domnului, în una din chilii, şi dă-le să bea vin!” 3 Am luat pe Iaazania, fiul lui Ieremia, fiul lui Habazinia, pe fraţii săi, pe toţi fiii săi şi toată casa recabiţilor 4 şi i-am dus la Casa Domnului, în chilia fiilor lui Hanan, fiul lui Igdalia, omul lui Dumnezeu, lângă chilia căpeteniilor, deasupra chiliei lui Maaseia, fiul lui Şalum, uşierul. 5 Am pus înaintea fiilor casei recabiţilor nişte vase pline cu vin şi pahare şi le-am zis: „Beţi vin!” 6 Dar ei au răspuns: „Noi nu bem vin! Căci Ionadab, fiul lui Recab, tatăl nostru, ne-a dat următoarea poruncă: „Să nu beţi niciodată vin, nici voi, nici fiii voştri; 7 şi nici să nu zidiţi case, să nu semănaţi nicio sămânţă, să nu sădiţi vii, nici să nu stăpâniţi vii, ci toată viaţa voastră să locuiţi în corturi, ca să trăiţi multă vreme în ţara în care sunteţi străini.” 8 Astfel, noi ascultăm tot ce ne-a poruncit Ionadab, fiul lui Recab, tatăl nostru; nu bem vin toată viaţa noastră, nici noi, nici nevestele noastre, nici fiii, nici fiicele noastre; 9 nu zidim nici case ca locuinţe pentru noi şi nu stăpânim nici vii, nici ogoare, nici pământuri însămânţate: 10 ci locuim în corturi şi urmăm şi împlinim tot ce ne-a poruncit tatăl nostru Ionadab.

Pero David les respondió a Recab y a su hermano Baná:Tan cierto como que vive el SEÑOR, quien me ha librado de todos mis problemas, que no seguirán con vida. Ya una vez antes alguien pensó que me traía buenas noticias, y me dijo: “Saúl está muerto”, pero yo agarré a ese hombre y lo maté en Siclag, de esa forma le pagué la buena noticia. Así que ahora debo matarlos y exterminarlos de la tierra también a ustedes, hombres perversos, que han matado a un hombre inocente mientras dormía en su propia cama.

Dios ordenó a Jeremías que reuniera a los recabitas en una de las estancias del templo, que sirviera vino ante ellos y que los invitara a beber. Jeremías hizo tal como el Señor le había ordenado. “Mas ellos dijeron: No beberemos vino; porque Jonadab, hijo de Recab nuestro padre nos ordenó diciendo: No beberéis jamás vino vosotros ni vuestros hijos.” “Y vino palabra de Jehová a Jeremías, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Ve y di a los varones de Judá, y a los moradores de Jerusalén: ‘¿No aprenderéis a obedecer mis palabras? dice Jehová. Fue firme la palabra de Jonadab hijo de Recab, el cual mandó a sus hijos que no bebiesen vino, y no lo han bebido hasta hoy, por obedecer al mandamiento de su padre; y yo os he hablado a vosotros desde temprano y sin cesar, y no me habéis oído.” (Jeremías 35: 12-14). Dios contrasta la obediencia de los recabitas con la desobediencia y la rebelión de su pueblo, que no quería recibir sus palabras de reprensión y advertencia. Los recabitas obedecieron el mandamiento de su padre y no quisieron ser acusados de transgredir sus deseos. Pero Israel rechazó escuchar al Señor.

Clearly the writer of 2 Samuel (whose identity we do not know) thinks it important to record the various steps by which David came to rule over all Israel. Canonically, this is important because it is the beginning of the Davidic dynasty that leads directly to “great David’s greater Son” (see the May 17 meditation). Within this framework, I wish to reflect on several features in these two chapters (2 Sam. 4–5).(1) It is quite stunning to observe how David was prepared to wait for the throne, without taking the kind of action that would have secured it for him more quickly. Not least impressive is his stance toward Ish-Bosheth. Ish-Bosheth’s murderers, Baanah and Recab, who think they will curry favor with the rising star by their vicious assassination (in line with the common standards of the day), learn that David’s commitment to justice ensures their execution. The only slightly sour overtone is the double standard: these murderers pay a just penalty for their crime (2 Sam. 4), while in the preceding chapter the murderer Joab, because of his power, is publicly shamed but does not face the capital sentence.(2) This book carefully chronicles how “all the tribes of Israel” (2 Sam. 5:1) approach David at Hebron and invite him to become their king. In God’s providence the evil assassination by Baanah and Recab brings about the fulfillment of God’s promise to David.(3) David’s capture of Jerusalem (2 Sam. 5:6–12) has to be recorded, for this not only becomes David’s capital city but in due course becomes the resting place for the tabernacle. During the reign of his son Solomon it will become the site for the temple. Enormously important theological issues revolve around Jerusalem and the temple. These are taken up in turn by the prophets (before and after the Exile), by Jesus himself, and by the New Testament writers. Reflect, for instance, on John 2:13–22; Galatians 4:21–31; Hebrews 9; 12:22–23; Revelation 21–22.(4) Above all, when the Israelites invite David to become their king, they say, “And the LORD said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler’” (2 Sam. 5:2). The “shepherd” theme is more comprehensive than the “ruler” theme, and is developed in various ways. At the outset of the Exile, God excoriates the false “shepherds” who are more interested in fleecing the sheep than in securing and nurturing the flock (Ezek. 34)—a phenomenon not unknown today. So God repeatedly promises that he himself will be the shepherd of his people; indeed, he will send forth this servant “David” (three-and-a-half centuries after David’s death!) to be their shepherd (Ezek. 34:23–24; see the meditation for March 20). In the fullness of time, the rightful heir of David’s line declares, “I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11). This podcast is designed to be used alongside TGC's Read The Bible initiative (TGC.org/readthebible).

Jérémie Recab infirmier en gériatrie nous parle de la mort avec l'histoire d'un homme qui ne voulait pas mourir.

The post 7-13-16 HAPPY HOUR …Baanah & Recab – Despicable Opportunists appeared first on Caddo Mills United Methodist Church.

Build your Gate – Nehemiah 3 – [Against the Odds] – Brent Phillips – Encounter Houston Courageous(n.) – the ability to do something that frightens one. Even when you are scared you are able to do it because what is waiting on the other side is worth is all. Only a courageous person can step out of the comforts of Heaven knowing that where He was going that man would tear Him apart, hate Him, reject Him, and try and destroy him. Yet, because of the reward at the end He did it. We must remember that The Spirit of the most courageous person that ever walked on the earth is inside of us and we have the ability to do something even when we are scared of it. Our life is like a bag of seeds and we can choose to sow God or chose to sow the world with the life we are living. Are you living it with a great cause? Are you truly living for something great? Living your life for Jesus is a great cause and He wants us to give it our all. The moment that we give Him everything is the moment that He can give us everything and we can begin to find our satisfaction in Him. Until we are willing to risk it all for Him we will never know how much He has for us. Nehemiah 3:1-3“Then Eliashib the high priest and the other priests started to rebuild at the Sheep Gate. People from the town of Jericho worked next to them, and beyond them was Zaccur son of Imri. The Fish Gate was built by the sons of Hassenaah.” We were created to be extraordinary. And all it takes is for you to speak up inspire those around you to be extraordinary. Nehemiah 3:13-15 “The Valley Gate was repaired by the people from Zanoah. The Dung Gate was repaired by Malkijah son of Recab, the leader of the Beth-hakkerem district. The Fountain Gate was repaired by Shallum son of Col-hozeh” Have you ever noticed that a church stops growing at a certain size? It stops because the people of the church forget that they were called to be wall builders. And as a believer we are all called to be a wall builder. It is time that we are start building the church and stop maintaining it. Nehemiah 3:28 “Above the Horse Gate, the priests repaired the wall. Each one repaired the section immediately across from his own house.” All that Nehemiah did was come and show the people the problem that they had become to accept in their everyday lives. The same God that enabled Nehemiah to inspire a nation of people to rebuild the walls of their city is the same God that is inspiring us to rebuild the church in our nation."

Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Come and learn a lesson https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/william-bode/id635644278 Jeremiah 35:1-19 NLT This is the message the Lord gave Jeremiah when Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah: “Go to the settlement where the families of the Recabites live, and invite them to the Lord’s Temple. Take them into one of the inner rooms, and offer them some wine.” So I went to see Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah and all his brothers and sons—representing all the Recabite families. I took them to the Temple, and we went into the room assigned to the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God. This room was located next to the one used by the Temple officials, directly above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the Temple gatekeeper. I set cups and jugs of wine before them and invited them to have a drink, but they refused. “No,” they said, “we don’t drink wine, because our ancestor Jehonadab son of Recab gave us this command: ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine. And do not build houses or plant crops or vineyards, but always live in tents. If you follow these commands, you will live long, good lives in the land.’ So we have obeyed him in all these things. We have never had a drink of wine to this day, nor have our wives, our sons, or our daughters. We haven’t built houses or owned vineyards or farms or planted crops. We have lived in tents and have fully obeyed all the commands of Jehonadab, our ancestor. But when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked this country, we were afraid of the Babylonian and Syrian armies. So we decided to move to Jerusalem. That is why we are here.” Then the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah: “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: Go and say to the people in Judah and Jerusalem, ‘Come and learn a lesson about how to obey me. The Recabites do not drink wine to this day because their ancestor Jehonadab told them not to. But I have spoken to you again and again, and you refuse to obey me. Time after time I sent you prophets, who told you, “Turn from your wicked ways, and start doing things right. Stop worshiping other gods so that you might live in peace here in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you would not listen to me or obey me. The descendants of Jehonadab son of Recab have obeyed their ancestor completely, but you have refused to listen to me.’ “Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you refuse to listen or answer when I call, I will send upon Judah and Jerusalem all the disasters I have threatened.’” Then Jeremiah turned to the Recabites and said, “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have obeyed your ancestor Jehonadab in every respect, following all his instructions.’ Therefore, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jehonadab son of Recab will always have descendants who serve me.’” ______________________________________ Fiddler on the Roof is one of my favourite films! And in that film is a song entitled, Tradition that just about scratches the surface of this bible passage. In summary of the passage above, there was a clan of Jews that was faithful to keep the traditions of their ancestors even when it made them seem completely out of step with the rest of society. The Recabites were the Amish of their day. It wasn't that they thought that they had a special mission from God or any special revelation. It was that they honoured their fathers' teaching. And as a whole group they had taught all their families to follow this teaching. God had told his people how to live but his people had disregarded him. God wanted his people to be ashamed of their disobedience and their refusal to listen to the prophets he had sent them. Who do you listen to? Whose advice are you freely disseminating? Are you happy to propagate the latest diet or financial plan? Do you swear by a particular type of technology and feel quite proud that you chose it and stick with it. Do your choices make you superior and a little smug? Whether it is money, holidays, cars, mobiles or computers, people listen to some "authority" and then then make their choices accordingly. When I was in the states, I remember people who were really proud they pretty much only bought American made products. And here in England, there are many people who feel like they are really doing a good thing by supporting faithfully the Fair Trade movement or only buying free range animals and eggs. Do you listen to God? Are you proud that you do? Are you willing to tell others that you follow God's Word? God wants a following. More to the point only God deserves a following. Far more than your football team, the X-Factor or I'm a Celebrity, God demands you plan your life around his Word! You might record your favourite show so you don't miss it. And you may proudly wear the accessories of your favourite star, fad, company or team. But are you willing to follow God? Are you willing to make it known. Are you willing to plan your life around God? Why not? Is God not worth it? Do you find God boring? Does God not help you create the image you want to have? God is asking you to follow him. God is telling you to listen to him. There is nothing greater you can dedicate yourself to. Why are you not proud to say you follow God? Someday you'll get tell God face to face. ___________________________________________________________________ https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/william-bode/id635644278
