"Be Careful Of Your Success" from 2 Chronicles 26:1-23

(As The Bible scholars says the author of 2 Chronicles is Ezra.)

Success comes from the Lord. King Uzziah was successful at first as a king.
Uzziah means strength from the Lord. A contracted form of Azari'ah the Lord is my strength

Blessings will lead us to humbleness. The more humble we are the more blessings.
Jehovah means Lord - who is the most powerful and not to a religion.

Nowadays, it is so sad to know that the worldly people are not seeking God.
Worldly people are more fond of parties and seeking happiness but in going to the church or Bible study, most of us are lazy and not having the heart to seek God.

The battle for us today: are the trials of life and having problem that we may call "Giants" or enemy.

Help means protect or aid.
There is a saying, whoever gives the power gets the glory.
King Uzziah was so blessed, and he became famous. Some famous persons these days gets spoiled and lost with their fame.

The more you learn the Bible - the more we will realize how little we are.

To learned God's word is a blessing.

Judges 20:16 Among all these soldiers there were seven hundred select troops who were left-handed, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.


When King Uzziah became powerful with all the blessings he received, he didin't thank God and in return it made himself prideful with the material blessing he has.

Proverbs 29:23 Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.


Even though you are low position in the society, the important is having God in your life.
Pride will pull you down and it will never push you up.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Collosians 2:18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.


As bible says knowledge puff's up but we builds up.

We learned in Uzziahs life;
Lack of thankfulness to God brings pride to us.
Important to God to be careful for the blessings you have.
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!’”
