Text: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord
(Jehovah); and the people whom He hath chosen for His Own inheritance.”
Psalm 33:12.
Good morning, God-blessed
Christian! One theme runs constant
throughout Holy Scripture - God blesses those to whom He has chosen to reveal
Himself; He promises a sure blessing to all among whom He chooses to dwell.
Show me the nation - even in this
increasingly apostate 21st Century - who were established by Godly
principles from the Holy Bible yet are devoid of blessing?
Christian nations, in spite of
our current disobedience to God’s Word, are the most blessed nations throughout
the world. When such nations, founded
upon the Word of God, repent and turn again to the Lord in sincere sorrow for
our sins, He will begin to prosper us afresh and lead us in new National
righteousness in Christ Jesus.
I pray that the great
Christian nations such as Britain and America will soon return to the paths of
righteousness, and receive God’s full blessings of peace and Salvation. We have God’s own Word on this serious
matter. We must take heed to it NOW!
“If My people, which are
called by My Name (Christian), shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My
face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
The Lord God cannot bless
disobedience, apostasy, and sin; nor can He fail to punish it. It’s not that He will not bless disobedience
- it is a fact that He can’t!
Therefore, while it is still
the day of His Sovereign grace, our once strong Christian nations must return
to the old paths of Biblical righteousness; make laws based on Holy Writ; and
cease from wallowing in the sins of the flesh and embracing the errors of false
religions, and open Sodomy! We must
promptly turn from this path of Spiritual suicide!
“Thou shalt have no other gods
before Me. Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven image…Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I
the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children unto the third and forth generation to them that hate Me; and
showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My
commandments.” (Exodus 20:3-6)
Definition of Sin: An offence against God’s Holiness. Falling short of the glory of God; God’s Holy
expectations of life and behaviour; any word, thought, or deed that is less
than Christ’s perfection, morality, purity, and Holiness. UnChristlikeness!
Today, there is a wicked
indifference to sin, no guilt for committing it; and a total neglect of the
consequences that must be faced on God’s Judgement Day.
Every man/woman is doing what
seems right in their own eyes, and running sin-blind into a Christ-rejecter’s
Hell. Much of what is termed ‘the
church’ worldwide seem to be fast asleep, completely unaware that countless
souls are teetering on the edge of Hell’s chasm. Any church that fails to address and contend
with SIN, falls short of the Bible’s standard for Christianity. Christ only came to save sinners from sin!
“For the Son of man is come to
seek and to save that which was lost.”
(Luke 19:10)
“Christianity
addresses itself only to sinners. Its Founder himself declared that he did not
come to call the righteous but sinners; and its chief expounder (Paul) declared
with energetic emphasis that Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners. The open secret of the
indifference of men of all classes in all ages to Christianity, so far as that
indifference has existed, lies in the indifference of men to sin, and their
consequent indifference to salvation from sin. Christianity makes no appeal to
men who do not feel the burden of sin.”
(Dr B.B. Warfield ‘Christianity and Our Times’ 1851-1921)
Sin
separates individuals and entire nations from a thrice Holy Lord God.
“…Your
iniquities (sin) have separated between you and your God, and your sins have
hid His face from you, that He will not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth
for truth; they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and
bring forth iniquity.” (Isaiah 59:2-4)
“If I regard iniquity in my
heart, the Lord will not hear me.”
(Psalm 66:18)
But the Lord God thoroughly
blesses the individual and nation that sincerely owns Him as Saviour and
Lord. God blesses those whom He Himself
has chosen to save!
“Ye have not chosen Me, but I
have chosen you…” (John 15:16)
An unfit man/woman seeks to
revisit the gym; seeks to begin to take care of his/her body again with
stringent exercise and diet. The unfit
‘church’ must repent from our sin; seek a new filling of God the Spirit; begin
to preach/teach and live God’s Word.
Thought: Christian!
Admit that ‘the National church’ is broken - and get God to fix it
NOW! Repent! The Lord Jesus Christ returns real soon!
