LET REUBEN LIVE, AND NOT DIE

By -

 “Let Reuben live, and not die, Nor let his men be few.” Deuteronomy 33:6. This decree is very important and necessary because Ruben, who was the first son of Jacob and one of the tribes of Israel, was cursed by his father because he had slept with one of his concubines.“Reuben, you are my firstborn, My  might and the beginning of my strength, The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. Unstable as water, you shall not excel, Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then you defiled it—He went up to my couch’ Genesis 49:3-4. The curse was removed by God through Moses to prevent the Reuben tribe from drying up due to His mercy. 

'Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children’ Isaiah 49:24-25. Your actions could have made you a lawful captive like Reuben, but God has delivered you today through His mercy.  The Scripture says that curse is a curse that hangs on a tree. Therefore, Jesus Christ has set us free from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). The Son (Christ) has set you free today and you are free indeed (John 8:36). It's important to remember that Christ can't liberate you if you don't have Him as your Lord and Savior. Acknowledge Him as your Lord and Savior today to become a new creature. 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new’ 2 Corinthians 5:17.

WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION

November 16th-22nd is designated as World Antibiotic Awareness Week, what is the reason behind it? Antibiotics (Greek anti, “against”; bios, “life”) is chemical compounds used to kill or inhibit the growth of infectious organisms. Originally, the term referred only to organic compounds, produced by bacteria or molds that are toxic or other microorganisms. The term is now used loosely to include synthetic and semisynthetic organic compounds. Although these drugs are excellent, they are being utilized improperly due to the lack of prescriptions, which is harmful and dangerous for our health. This is exactly what most Christians do. We seldom go to God to inquire before embarking on a project, but instead go ahead on our own strength. This is contrary to the Bible's advice to trust in the LORD with all your heart and not depend on our own understanding. Seeking his will in everything you do will guide you to the right path. ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ) The Gibeonite deceived Israel in Chapter 9...

  At least 290 people lost their lives after a passenger plane crashed while departing from an airport in Ahmedabad, India, according to health officials. The plane, en route to London, hit a hostel for doctors when it crashed. The number of deaths is a mix of those on the plane and those on the ground. In accordance with the report, the plane involved, which was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, is among the safest.   The plane was full of individuals with plans for the future, and their families and loved ones were waiting for them. What about the doctors who were in the hostel when the aircraft crashed? No one anticipated it, no one prepared for it. ‘And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” Hebrews 9:27. Death is something that everyone has to deal with, but we don't know the exact time and method. For this    reason we must be saved by giving our lives to Jesus Christ. God sent Him to the world to die for our sins ( John 3:16 ) and...

THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY (WASHINGTON DC PLANE COLLISION)

 I was reading about the victims of the event where all 67 people aboard an American Eagle flight from Kansas and an Army helicopter were killed in a collision over the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday, January 29. Among those are children with great futures, wonderful families, one just engaged to be married, and one just promoted in their job. Before the unimaginable happened, a passenger called her partner and assured her that he would meet her in a few minutes.  You may be joking about it or taking it not seriously when you hear about the second coming of the Lord, or saying that Jesus can't come now. What happens if death comes? Where will you spend eternity? Heaven or a lake of fire? The Scripture says in Hebrew 9:27 'And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment’. I am not attempting to frighten you, but I want to inform you that what will happen to you in the next minute is unknown. If you do not ...
