THANKSGIVING AND GRATITUDE! [MONDAY MANNA 171]

November 8, 2018 by jesusislord 1 Comment

Dear saints,

God’s main personality attribute is holiness declared at His throne night and day (Isaiah 6.3). From this flows His love, for God is love (1 John 4.8.), and we love Him in return since He first loved us. (1 Peter 1.8).

In this alone is enough to fill a human being’s whole life with thanksgiving and gratitude!

How is this love of ours shown? The only proof is our loyal, consistent, and undying obedience to all His commands (John 13.35, 14.15, 21). We’re to be holy in all our behavior (1 Peter 1.15). In this we can please Him in all respects (Colossians 1.8).

There is nothing as prominent, we dare say, in the Word of God and His beloved doctrines as being thankful. It permeates the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. As a matter of fact, the opposite is grumbling and disputing. This is reflected in both Covenants, both Old and New. And since there is no vacuum, or neutral position, we’re only able to display one or the other.

Numbers 14:26-27  The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who are grumbling against Me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel, which they are making against Me…”

Philippians 2:14-15 Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world…

Why do we give thanks to God, our gratitude? For who He is, what He has done, and will do in the future. He is worthy of all thanks and praise. All thanks is given to God the Father, as are all our prayers. And it is to this end of thanksgiving, that we offer this brief but fascinating study!

Of course, praise is a part of the family of thanksgiving and is kin to it as a way to give thanks. But we save that word group for another post.

The Old Covenant record

In the Old Covenant, thanksgiving has a major role. Although we can be sure Adam and Eve were thankful before their fall, there is nothing to specifically describe this.

It is when Noah unloads the arc, builds an altar and makes sacrifice that we can be rest assured this is the first “thanksgiving” after the Great Flood. After all, God had just destroyed the entire world! Because the Bible is Middle Eastern high context vs. low context for the west, the mid-eastern Semitic readers would know this act was an act of thanksgiving without actually saying so in the text.

Genesis 8:20  Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Moses in his Song declares the mighty acts of God in their Res Sea crossing as thanksgiving. Here are just the first two verses in the passage.

Exodus 15:1-2  Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will extol Him..”

After receiving the law at Mt. Sinai, the Lord further enunciates His laws in Leviticus with the thanks offering. Notice this is a conditional phrase, “so that…”

Leviticus 22:29  “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted…”

David declares his thanks after God delivers Him from Saul and his enemies.

2 Samuel 22:50  “Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name.

Jehoshaphat helps the people to give thanks for their coming victory over their enemies.

2 Chronicles 20:21  When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, “Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

In the book of Nehemiah, we see a passage described with the hymns of thanksgiving.

Nehemiah 12:46  For in the days of David and Asaph, in ancient times, there were leaders of the singers, songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving to God.

The Psalms and Thanksgiving

The Psalms are replete with the thanksgiving toward God and often described as a sacrifice that costs us something.

Psalm 9:1 I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.

Psalm 26:7  That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving and declare all Your wonders.

Psalm 30:12  That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Psalm 50:23  “He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God.”

Psalm 75:1 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; Men declare Your wondrous works.

Psalm 100:4  Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

Psalm 107:8  Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

Psalm 147:7  Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre…

We see our brother Daniel’s courage to give thanks in the middle of life threatening events.

Daniel 6:10  Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.

The New Covenant record

Of course, we see Jesus Christ giving thanks as the perfect example without sin. Both of these are in the context of receiving food to eat which should give us some example of the importance of this act.

Matthew 15:36  and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

Luke 22:19  And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

And also at the raising of Lazarus from the dead.

John 11:41  So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me…”

In the NT record, the underlying Greek word group is where we get the English word Eucharist.

Here is the information: eucharisteô; verb, to be thankful; List of English Words and Number of Times Used: gave thanks (2), give…thanks (1), give thanks (8), given thanks (6), gives thanks (2), giving thanks (7), thank (9), thanked (1), thanks (1), thanks may be given (1).

Then we have the noun from this word family: eucharistia; noun; thankfulness, giving of thanks; List of English Words and Number of Times Used: giving of thanks (3), gratefully (1), gratitude (2), thankfulness (1), thanks (2), thanksgiving (4), thanksgivings (2).

Probably the most renowned passage is out of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, and the peace that is promised when we obey this admonition. It’s combined here below with the Colossians passage that also matches our alert and devoted prayer with thanksgiving.

Philippians 4:6-7  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication (begging and beseeching) with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 4:2  Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving…

Paul also thanks God the Father for the saints and their good works, and his ministry in: Romans 1:8 …because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world; 1 Corinthians 15:57 …who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; Philippians 1:3 …in all my remembrance of you; Colossians 1:3-4 …since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; 1 Thessalonians 2:13 …when you received the word of God…performs its work in you who believe; 1 Timothy 1:12 …because He considered me faithful, putting me into service; 2 Timothy 1:3 …as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day; Philemon 1:4  I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers…

Again, in the wonderful book of Colossians which speaks to the supremacy of Christ, we see that peace and thankfulness tied together, and all that we do is done with thankfulness.

Colossians 3:15  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Colossians 3:17  Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Even in Christ’s Revelation we see this vital action.

Revelation 4:9  And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever…

Revelation 7:11-12  And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,  saying, “Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”

Revelation 11:16-17  And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,  saying, “We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign…”

A sobering and encouraging assessment, is it not? So then, let us be always about being thankful and overflowing with gratitude.

Colossians 2:6-7  Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

When and for what?

How often and for what you might ask?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18  Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 5:20  always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father…

In everything give thanks, not for everything, but in everything. And always giving thanks. And overflowing with gratitude.

What happens if we fail at this? The next verse utters a warning much more debilitating than only grieving the Holy Spirit.

1 Thessalonians 5:19  Do not quench the Spirit…

We’re reminded once again His commandments are to be kept implicitly and of their type of burden. That is the essence and requirement of overcoming faith regarding our victorious assault against the world’s ways.

Matthew 11:29-30  “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

1 John 5:2-4  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.  For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Amen. We trust you’re thankful for this brief study! And we’re thankful that you’re thankful.

REPROOF AND REBUKE – SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES [MONDAY MANNA 167]

January 18, 2016 by jesusislord 4 Comments

rebukeDear saints,

In our modern day religious system we seem to have two extremes along the continuum of life. At one end is the ishy squishy mud-between-the-toes anything goes crowd which thinks it unkind, not nice, and a sin to say anything negative. At the other end is the mean-spirited group that seem to practice being pugnacious and stonewalling and make it a point to put down everyone since exhortation to build up the body of Christ is foreign to their habitual and chosen manner of living.

But what says the Word of God?

Instinctively in our spirit, we know that reproof and rebuke is needed in life. From early childhood until we go home to be with the Lord Jesus and Father God, those two doctrines need to be central all our days. The Scripture confirms it.

This is the method used to help us stay on or return to the holy course of action.

Here are a few facts we can glean from the Holy Bible on their similarities.

  1. Reproof and rebuke is a command for everyone in the body of Christ.
  2. Everyone is subject to reproof and rebuke.
  3. This good work helps preserve the unity and holiness of the body.
  4. Jesus rebuked most often, but also reproved.
  5. Jesus also rebuked demons, sickness, and storms.
  6. People in great sin will reject your reproof and rebuke and you personally.
  7. Every Christian must be reproved to be fully equipped, no exceptions.

THE COURAGE OF KORAH’S SONS TO DISOBEY THEIR FATHER [MONDAY MANNA 166]

August 11, 2014 by jesusislord Leave a Comment

photo 1Saints,

It was a long, long time ago.

But the ever existent Holy Spirit even then was filling men and women with supernatural courage. To live and move beyond what any of them might think normal.

Here’s just one story of unsung overcomers of the world that triumphed victorious over all its siren song…

There was still over 1400 years before Jesus would leave the hallowed confines of heaven to enter a human woman to become a human Himself.

They had seen in such a compressed space miracles of spectacular nature…

nuweiba_beach1

Nuweiba Beach in Eqypt

As they ventured just ahead of the enemy, they marched through the desert and slowly gathered at Nuweiba Beach on the western shore of Yam Suph, the sea of reeds.

A whole city of people of probably 2,000,000, which is almost the size of Houston, TX., and all their animals congregated there. You can see from the aerials and satellite photos that the beach is large enough to hold all those living creatures. It’s the only place in that part of the world on a body of water that could do so.

photo104

It’s about seven miles across the Red Sea at that point into Arabia. The Egyptian stone column that was placed by Solomon on the eastern shore years later was removed by the Saudi’s to hide the fact God’s people made it to the other side. But the other one on the Egyptian side is still there…just moved to the other side of the modern day road that now carries tourists to and from the beach.

e9

The 7 mile land bridge

The Gulf of Aqaba, or Red Sea, is a cavernous body of water that extends over 5,000 feet in depth…except in one place. And that’s right at Nuweiba Beach, where a land bridge rises up and forms a gentle 7 degree slope all the way across to the other side. Just right for old folks, children, and terrified animals afraid of water heaped up at least 100 stories tall like the One World Tower in New York City.

And the sea bed on the land bridge is a smooth, sandy rock-free bottom. Imagine that. Good for chariot wheels and a chase. Modern day divers have found the remains of those wheels, some in the coral encrusted outlines of the chariot remains, and a few wheels themselves. They’re captured on video for all to see.

God knew from the foundation of the earth what He had prepared to do to show His powerful glory. The angel of God, the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, that appeared to Moses from the burning bush now went behind them as the pillar of cloud moved with them.

When the waters parted at God’s word and the children of Israel entered the canyon of water, the opening was probably at least a mile wide…about 17 football fields in width.

e12When a person reached the half way mark at 3.5 miles, he could try and look up at the top of water…but it was at least 1,000 feet high. Ever wonder how a young child would have felt if he was able to run up to the wall of water and thrust his hand into it?

Estimates are it took all night for the millions of souls and animals to make it across.

Korah and his sons saw this first hand. They were there. They walked through. How could they forget the mighty hand of the Ancient of Days as the prophet Daniel also described his vision of Him?

Korah was Moses’ cousin. His father Izhar and Moses’ father Amran were brothers and son’s of Levi himself, leader of one the 12 tribes. Korah knew Moses. He was family. He was a fellow leader. Both were Levites, and called of God.

Korah had 3 sons: Assir, the eldest, then Elkanah, and finally Abiasaph. They also walked through the sea on dry land. They and their families.

horebrock3

Rock at Horeb – 6 stories tall

The crossing seems to have taken place in the spring, most likely in April. (See the movie clip of the Red Sea parting here.)

Korah also saw the billions of gallons of water, another sea flowing from the split rock at Horeb. One can clearly see this rock on Google Earth and the smooth worn desert rocks from the supernatural flow. It was enough to care for the daily needs of millions…like the size of the city of Houston.

Korah saw the flaming mountain, the lightening, thunder…the dread horror of millions as they trembled at Mt. Sinai. The 10 Commandments. The perversion of the golden calf….He saw it all. He was without excuse.

He knew Moses was God’s anointed. Pride is a powerful weapon in the hand of our adversary if we allow him access to our hearts.

Over that next year, God would teach them about the tabernacle, the other laws to rid themselves of the Egyptian influence, the Passover, and His anger with their grumbling and disputing.

By the next spring, they cowered at the “giants” in the land. Only Joshua and Caleb of their generation would be allowed to enter the promised land…but 40 years from then. We can imagine all were extremely disappointed when they couldn’t enter then and there. Expectations were running high. And they were dashed.

korah 4

Leprosy like Miriam’s

Within 2 months, Miriam led herself and her brother Aaron in a family revolt of sorts against their brother Moses for marrying the Ethiopian women, showing their racism. God strikes her with leprosy, marking her with a white disease in contrast to the black skin of her new sister-in-law.

You think Korah would have gotten the message by now. But it seems only his sons did.

By the end of that year only 4-5 more months after Miriam’s sin, and about 18 months after the Red Sea crossing, Korah instigates a major rebellion. Was he encouraged by the lead of Miriam and Aaron? Most likely.

Why did Korah rebel then against Moses and Aaron? Korah wants to be equal, or superior, to Moses. Evil always wants it’s preeminence over holiness.

Korah was a man of privilege and influence, a Levite and leader of God’s chosen people. But he wanted more…and more. He wanted to be head of the Kohathite clan instead of his cousin Elzaphan, since he was the firstborn of Kohath’s (his grandfather) second son, whereas Elzaphan was not even a firstborn son.

Not only that, at that slight, Korah instigated a brazen attempt whether the office of the High Priest should not have been given to him – rather than to Aaron (Num. 16:10). For sure, Korah had offered sacrifice for the tribe of Levi before the Sin of the Golden Calf, and in relation to their family tree, the choice of the firstborn of Levi ultimately came down to a decision between Aaron, Korah, and Mishael.

korah 3

Moses rebukes Korah & the rebels

His resentment caused him to seek counsel with Dathan and Abiram, two arrogant agitators from the tribe of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn son, that had a long history of hostility toward Moses.

So, Korah is joined in the plot by Dathan and Abiram, and also 250 other leaders. We can be pretty sure that their families were caught up in the whole spectacle. But what were the loyal followers of God thinking about the repercussions about to unfold in their families? And what of their own lives now? Moses rebukes them.

God is furious. He tells His holy men to get away for He’s going to instantly consume the rebels. But Moses and Aaron refuse, fall on their faces, and plead for mercy with God not to kill all these people, the good with the evil.

God relents, and commands Moses to tell all the faithful to get away from the tents of the leaders. The rebels are not convinced, and they defiantly stand firm with “their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.”

Except…

…the sons of Korah.

Assir, the eldest, along with Elkanah and Abiasaph must have bravely stepped away along with their families. Perhaps the younger brothers quickly followed suit, along with their wives, children, animals, and belongings.

This courageous act took a bit to complete.

What taunting did they endure by their own father? What terror was in their hearts with what God would do? They knew His power. Did they plead, even begging and beseeching, openly with their father, their mother, and the others to repent? They must have believed Moses’ warning that if they stayed with the rebels they’d “be swept away in all their sin.”

korah 1Suddenly…out of nowhere, the ground begins to rumble.

Then, the ground roars with rocks splitting, and the earth tearing, opening up wide under the feet of the rebels and their families. And all their possessions. Fire from heaven rains down and consumes alive the 250 rebel leaders, in the putrid sickening smell of burning human flesh. You don’t play with fire…God’s fire.

Screaming. Yelling.

Terrified cries of help as they slide into the chasm and head downward into the center of the earth. Men are burning alive and screaming for help. Some of the rebel leaders are incinerated into thin air.

But there is no help. God is done with them. This is the part of the passage, where He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, that we don’t want to acknowledge.

korah 2

God’s fire descends from heaven

Men and woman are grasping in vain at the sides of the ground now formed like a mountain side cliff. Their bloodied fingers stop clawing and slip quickly and they fall into oblivion.

Cries and screams begin to fade as the earth once again closes up to reveal no trace whatsoever of the crass, cold-hearted humans that stood just a minute before. Some charred remains of the rebel metal incense burners lie unrecognizable on the ground. Others have descended into the pit along with the people.

In central Florida where I live, we often see huge sink holes open up unexpectedly. One near Tampa swallowed a man alive while he was sleeping. The terror is written all over the faces of the witnesses.

The lives of Korah’s sons and their families are forever changed. They probably have fallen to the ground in terror. Their father and mother are gone. Forever.

At times, it’s the parents who must avoid their disobedient adult children who have a form of Godliness but have denied His power, and have been turned over to Satan so he may destroy their flesh. In order for God to save their spirit.

How long muphoto 2st it have been for these dear saints and the children to recover to any sort of normalcy? What must have imprinted on their minds for the rest of their lives? Would they ever talk about it except in hushed tones?

The memory would always be alive…and the drama of the sons of Korah stepping over to the side of gracious salvation.

The mercy of the Lord was evident because the Word proclaims this…

Numbers 26:11 The sons of Korah, however, did not die.

What courage the three sons displayed. Abiasaph, the youngest, we know named his son after his oldest brother Assir. Did the oldest brother, Assir, make the first move away from his father Korah giving the others courage to follow? Might this be a reason Abiasaph gave that name to his own son?

How hard was it for them to pull away from all they knew in that few minutes of decision making? Devotion to God often calls for peace with Him when our families tear at the holiness our Lord Jesus demands of us. The most intimate love for God is imitation of Him and His ways.

In the mercy of Yahweh, the sons of Korah as Levites will attend to the thresholds of the tents. They play a key role and they know their place. God always uses those of us who remain faithful…to Him.

Someday in tougher times ahead we might be called upon to do the same. And what will we then choose? Ordinarily, we’re to never be disobedient to our adult parents, for this is a sign of the end times rebellion. As we see here in this story with Korah’s sons, there are the rare but crucial times to disobey your adult parents when they require you to rebel against God’s holy ways.

Matthew 10:34-39 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. “For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.

“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”

One final thing.music

God anoints the sons of Korah as special musicians to help the children of God to “muse” on Him! Over 10 Psalms penned by them are a part of His final record. And we’re the recipients of this wonderful grace, for which of us hasn’t been touched by these inspired words?

Psalm 42:1 For the choir director. A Maskil (contemplative poem) of the sons of Korah.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God.

Like you, I’m so glad they stepped over to God’s side. May we do likewise.
