"Use God's Blessing (Correctly) Properly" from 2 Chronicles 21

We learned Jehosaphat was a good King thou he made alliance with unbeliever. This gives us to our tonights theme "use God's blessing properly" and correctly. For example - some people are blessed with more than one cellphone, but most of them used thier own cell phone (blessing) for scams and fooling other people, spread gossip, etc.. Thus, using the blessing incorrectly and not for God's glory.

In our chapter tonight, Jehosaphat was blessed, and he gave the Kingdom to his first born son Jehoram.

Now if you can imagine what is the greatest gift?
the greatest gift God gave us is the spiritual blessing. Saved by grace. We don't limit God's blessing because the real blessing is to know God more.



"Rejoice to those who rejoice and mourn to those who mourn." Do most people follow that?
Most of the time - worldly people will do the other way around - they get jealous if you are happy and get happy if you mourn.

This is also the same as Jehoram used his position and blessing incorrectly. And so, he killed all his brothers.

If we don't depend on God and depend only in our own strength just like Jehoram we can commit the same mistake he had.

Punishment for sin is not always immediate and dramatic. God holds us accountable for the responsibilities we have. No one is perfect, but when you repent God will save you.

Proverbs 10:7
The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
but the name of the wicked will rot.

Nice Christian Life Experiences~~~

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!’”
