Day 8 A-Z Writitng Challenge

-

Good morning good folks blessed of GOD. I pray you have a grand and joyous day! Today is day 8 of the A-Z Writing Challenge and the Word for the day is idols.

The term idol is defined as worship of anything created that gets more glory than GOD in heaven. Anything that substitutes for God in your body and soul.




You see we are creations of GOD. We should serve and worship Him above all else. but in human frailty we turn to tangible things other than GOD. Just like when Moses went up on Mt Sinai to receive the ten commandments, Jesus went up to heaven. Weak humans as we all are, turn to idols to meet our needs with something we can see. 

See, one day when we least expect Jesus will return to take His bride and what will we be doing? More than likely we will be worship earthly idols.

The scriptures gives us many warnings. Here is just a few:  

Little Children guard yourself from Idols. 1 John 5:21

Flee from idolatry 1 Corinthians 10:14

Turn from idols to serve a living and true God, and TO WAIT for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that  is Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come just in the same way as you watched him go into heaven. Acts 1:11

There are many idols in this world. We must turn from our idols or those idols will crush us.

One day Jesus will part the clouds and return to this earth. Will He find us worshiping a idol? It is time to make a quality decision and trust God will come back for His children. Come quickly Lord Jesus and take us out of this corrupt world. For  it is in our weakness and waiting tht we should seek and find you! You are the strength of our lives and not some earthly idol...

Dear Jesus, please help us turn from all idols and serve you 100 percent.  You see that we are human and weak, please be our strength during our journey on this earth in this waiting time. Help us to refrain and abstain from any form or fashion from all idols that would present itselves in our lives. WE give you all glory you are the one we worship and adore, in Jesus name, Amen.

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
