"Imitate What is Good" from 1 Chronicles 5

In Nothing We TrustImitate means to duplicate just like a photocopy.

As Christians we need to imitate Jesus and all that are pleasing in His eyes.

In our chapter for tonight 1 Chronicles 5, Reuben the first born of Israel defiled his father's marriage and it was given to Joseph.

Leviticus 18:8 "Do not have sexual relations with your father's wife; that would dishonor your father."

Because of that fact, Reuben was not listed as the first born in genealogical record in accordance with his birthright.

Micah 5:2 "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among the clans of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times."

It was prophesize that the the savior will come in tribe of Judah.

If we focus in our life's problems and temptations we will get destructed in our Christian walk.

People these days worship money more than heavenly things.

When we are in the middle of the battle and we thought that we can't do it, keep in mind that all of our plans apart from God we can do nothing, we must depend on God because the battle was God's. Cry out to God and don't do it on our own.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.

8 He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."

How many times do we trust in God?
We need to rely on His power every second.

1 Chronicles 5:20 They were helped in fighting them, and God handed the Hagrites and all their allies over to them, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him.


Joshua 10:14
God was holding the run in answer to Joshua prayer.

If we do it the Bible's way surely we will be successful.

Sometimes we prioritize the things of this world more than God. For the love of money is the root of all evil. If we love anything more than God, then we are doomed.

Remain faithful as God gives us the free will either to obey, or to over come evil and imitate Jesus, imitate what is good.


Nice Christian Life Experiences,Imitate What is Good

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
