Good fruit and bad Fruit?
The rot within Ekklesia!
Being a born-again Christian is more than going to Church, it is about producing fruit and if we are not walking with God throughout the week we will not be laying seeds to create fruit?
But if we are witnessing and sharing you Lord in our lives, work, relaxing then souls will be saved and thus good fruit!
There are many that we may fellowship with, who are imposters and not what they claim to be, but cause more of distraction than help in the life of Ekklesia and of New believers also!
Matthew 7:15-19, 12:33, Luke 6:43-44, Jude 1:12.

Jonah’s Anger!
Not wanting to share the Good News of Repentance?
Runaway Jonah did not get what he wanted and at the end he lead his enemies to faith in God, the story has a par with what Netanyahu is doing to the Hamas in the Gaza strip, while avoiding his corruption charges!
But God was merciful to Jonah giving him shade and then taking it away because he had lost joy in his mission of how quick the enemy had repented and he did not see their destruction?
We too can be in the same boat of hate and wanting our enemies destroyed removed and so on, but we must learn to obey the Lord and have compassion on all as Jesus had too!
Jonah 4:1-11, Matthew 15:32, Luke 15:20.

Easter!
Waiting for the Fulfillment of all Things?
Many will make it something for the children this Easter with egg hunting and parties, others will see the religious side of it, going to Church and enjoying all the ritualism, while other will take time to reflect on what God-Jesus has done for them!
As believers we should know were we stand with the Lord and are in these ever increasing times await the sudden return of the Lord and to see our Savior as the fulfillment of everything in the Son of David and the bright morning star gathering us to him and the air!
So we still have the daylight to share him with everyone that we meet and we should no be embarrassed either?
John 3:14-21, 4:23-24, Romans 5:8-9, Philippians 3:13, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27, 10:10, 15, Revelations 3:20, 5:5, 22:16.

A time to Come!
The in gathering of the Nations?
On the eve of the events of Easter let us ponder on times ahead for the believers at the end of the ages, when in the rule of Jesus that nations will be gathered to Him!
The promise is one of many long standing ones, that will eventually be fulfilled, as promised in the now generally abandoned Book of Revelation and false ideas that God is finished with Israel, because He is not?
Isaiah 11:10, 49:20, Roman 15:12.

Roots?
What are we anchored too!
Where is our roots today are they in the practice of evil or in doing good and this depends on which of us has rotten foothold or one that is constantly blessed?
We always have a choice to make in relation to who we are and were is our hearts, a choice to know if we are saved or lost!
Being rooted in the right place will bring us prosperity, but Satan can take these blessings from us because of greed for money and the bitterness of the soul based on many reasons?
Proverbs 12;3, Romans 11:16-18, 15:12, 1 Timothy 6:10, Hebrews 12:15.

The burning Bush?
God appearing to Moses!
Moses was fascinated by this site of a flame on a bush, but the bush not catching fire and one would be, but he was in the presence of God and he was on Holy ground for a reason that he would soon learn about!
He was their to be commissioned by God to be the leader of the Hebrews people and bring them out of slavery, after challenging the Egyptian leaders of their rebellion to the creator God!
But Moses had many issues a stammer, did not listen well, took on more than he could chew and refused to hear Caleb’s account, that would lead him to do great things with God, but he would not be allowed to enter the promised land, because of his failings
Exodus 3:1-3, 5, Deuteronomy 26:15, Acts 7:33.

Looking 4 Healing?
The aftermath of Christmas!
This is always the time of the year when most people discover they have got a serious illness and its also the time to seek more than medical help, since we are being told to end our lifestyle and cut back on the drink, the sugar, salt, grease and smoking?
But despite all the negative news we might hear, their is always the hope that God will have mercy on us and heal us from our foolishness!
Sadly not everyone gets healed and no one knows why this is, but many who discount healing get healed and others also come to Salvation?
Proverbs 15:4, Revelation 2:7, 22:2, 14-19.

‘Happy New Year 2025?
The arrival of the Magi!
Travelers from the gentile world came with their respective gifts to the King of Israel and the savior of the world, but they also came to worship Him!
Most people like a good chin wag a dance and to praise God if we have the faith to believe, others are to conservative or proud to tap or dance, even to sin a tune or to worship?
For many this is the end of the Christmas story, but it is the beginning of a reign that continues to this day and will until he returns to establish the Kingdom of Israel and to gather all the believers that make up the Ekklesia!
Matthew 2:1-16, Luke 6:23, John 4:22-23, 5:35 Acts 7:7.

The Shepherds?
Sleeping under the trees!
In the caring for livestock one needs to be out with them, sometimes in all weathers and you need to try to keep warm and dry as these men were doing in the field, when the were startled by the Glory of God or in Hebrew the ‘Shekinah, where Heaven and Earth met!
This Glory was only in times past reserved for a few, the prophets, the Patriarchs and the priests who served in the Temple in Jerusalem, but now it was to be seen by simple men, the base of society of whom King David once was as a shepherd boy!
The announcement of the promised Messiah was also a revelation that not only could Israel be saved, but as the Savior the gentiles too would know God as the Jews had?
Luke 2:8-20, Exodus 40:34-38, Leviticus 9:23, Numbers 14:10, Daniel 2:37.
