And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; -1 Samuel 3:3


Good morning and tremendous Tuesday to you! My question this morning is Who turned the lights out? The verse above drives home the significance of this question saying the lamp of God had went out in the temple. 


The implications of this is the light of God has went out in many places. In society today many have turned their light out. Think of the maidens who failed to keep oil in their lamps…


We have preachers preaching as a job and not as a passion, compromising and accepting what is not godly as godly. The church in the book of Acts asked what must I do to be saved while the church today is asking what can I do and still be saved? We are no longer convicted when we see or do ungodly things. We place our own ambitions and goals above living a godly life. 


The words found in verse one of this set of scriptures that says “the word of God was rare” then, which to an extent I can agree, but given all the median, television, radio, books, social media, and etc; there are plenty of ways to learn, the pure unchanging, unadulterated, and infallible word. 


…and it’s not just simply preachers that haven’t studied to show themselves approved, but people who do not want the truth to ruin their world view. 


Beloved it is pass time to fill out lamps and turn the lights back on, lastly consider 1 Thess 5:2 and the words of the Lord in Rev 16:15, surely He is coming as a thief in the night…when the lights are out. 


God bless you and command your day!!!

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
