THE CONSUMING FIRE

For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrew 12:29


God will judge the world and every person in the world on the last day. Just because judgment does not happen immediately does not mean that it will not. Galatians 6:7 says "Be no deceived God is not mocked" when lot told his sons in law that God was going to destroy Sodom, they thought he was joking (Gen 19:14). Similarly the people of Noah's day did not believe him either. The same is true of this present generation. People are busy amassing wealth by hooks or by crook, thinking that things will continue the way they are world without end.
You will not live in this physical world for ever. Let it be clear to you that you will die one day, and it could be sooner than you think. Then you will face instant judgment. How will you face God? You can discuss this established fact with a wave of the hand but you cannot change it. Acts 17:31 says that God has appointed a day on which He will judge the whole world by that man (Jesus Christ) whom He has ordained for that purpose. Yes, that Jesus Christ you are making fun of today will be your judge. One great day,the Consuming Fire will test what has been produced through our lives. It will be revealed by fire; and the fire. Will test each one's work....May we be found ready to endure that final heat, and may He find in us eternal treasures of gold, silver and precious stones. Repent and make a turnaround today.

APPRECIATE HIM

And thou say in thin heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me wealth. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth the power to get wealth. Deuteronomy 8:17-18


Thank you Jesus. Have you said it today? As Christians, so much of what we have is a result of what Jesus Christ has done for us. Where would we be without the work of Jesus Christ? Thanksgiving is a time where we are often mindful of what we have received; Good things done for us or to us. Blessings we have been receiving, and the time of giving thanks for meaningful things in our lives. Whatever the situation might be, where there is life, there is definitely hope. So give thanks that you are alive and well. The Lord is good and His mercies endure forever. It is God who makes your victory, success, salvation and other blessings possible. Whatever you are enjoying today is not of your own making, therefore stop boasting
about possible. You must thank Him every day,and in every situation.
There is nothing you have now, or you will have in the future that is not, or will not come from above. The Bible says Can a man receive anything except it is given to him from above? It is neither by power nor by might but it is of God that shows mercy. God can cause the mighty to fall, the strong to be dethroned, and the powerful to be disgraced. But God kept you and your family alive, it is Him that makes everything to work out and His goodness endures forever. I think you should say "Thank You Jesus."
