The Man God Used Greatly

Ezra : God’s Man

Ezra serves as proof God can partner with just one person to accomplish His will in earth. Ezra “set in his heart to study the law of the Lord, and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel” (7:10). His vocation was priest, scribe, leader. His whole life was dedicated to God’s purposes. He served God in humility and obedience. “His knowledge of the Scriptures was obvious even to the king that he was appointed to lead the second wave of returnees; teaching them and administering national life” (Nasb). Ezra was trustworthy. Modeling true stewardship. God rewarded Ezra’s efforts, “placing His hands upon him” (7:9b). Imagine you and me living at this level!

When We Face Tough Times

Faith To Get Through

What happens to my faith when faced with a critical decision, a trying time? Some people abandon God. Some conveniently exchange Him for a lie. Still, there are those who dig their heels in an embrace their faith in the Sovereign God of the Universe. Such was the case with Esther. Facing the edict of Haman Esther, Mordecai and the Jewish people “refused to believe that the cruel evidence of darkness, hate and evil was the final explanation” (Larson, 321). Instead, “The power to reject the conspiracy of violence and lies, and the strength to persist in the midst of despair came from embracing God” (Larson, 322). 
It is faith in God, and a stubborn determination to rely on Him, making petitions through fasting and prayer that Gets the Christian Through.

My New Favorite Book - Haggai

Haggai - Encouragement for the Journey

I have to say, the Book of Haggai has become my new favorite of the Old Testament. Just conducted a study of the book - only two chapters. Short, but packed with so much encouragement for the Christian walk. Haggai is used by God to whip the people back into priority. Just a few initial thoughts from study:

  • This book encourages us to “Consider ourselves” (1:5)
  • Reminds me that there’s always a remnant who are committed to God despite the current state of world affairs
  • Just as the temple of God was paramount to worship, so too is the maintaining of our spiritual and physical temple in this day
  • The people were not blessed because of disobedience and selfishness. Divine judgment was also tied to their actions…the same applies to us today (Deut. 28)
  • God will accomplish His work (Hag. 2: 4-5; Zech. 4:6)
  • Association with the wrong crowd can bring spiritual defilement (Hag. 2:10-19)
  • The Christian walk is one that requires commitment – this can lead to blessings
There will be an extensive study of this chapter to come. I am so excited about this one!
Blessings!

Neglect In Building God's Kingdom?

To Build or Not To Build
Then the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways”    (Haggai 1: 3-5).

I have found that the Christian walk is filled with hills and valleys. There are those of us who pitch a tent after a valley event and never bother to head back up the hill. Our priorities become skewed and we lose the focus, settling for “status quo and the lazy lethargic attitude”. This is what happened to the first set of returnees. The Israelites had been exiled for over 70 years and were now in their land, having been given the challenge to return home and rebuild God’s temple (Ezra 1). After the hostility, dashed hopes - “With what are we going to rebuild? This is a huge effort! We have to fix our own living conditions too..” They took the focus off the rebuilding effort and pitched a tent in the valley of ease and contentment. They began to focus on their stuff – caught up with daily living (work, work, home, kids, fun, work, work, home kids, husband, wife, relationships).

Philosophy of Ministry


   The Way 
 (Written by Minister Kevin A. Hall)

  
God has given the church the responsibility of making disciples of every nation. Jesus’ final words to His disciples were to make more disciples – baptizing, teaching, discipling. He promised that He would be with them always, having given them the authority to fulfill this mission. The target audience of this mandate was ‘the whole world’. To accomplish this task, members of God’s church must be equipped, incarnated, then deployed. Through the ministry of the church, we evangelize, preach, teach, heal, nurture, administer, disciple, plant churches, affecting society for God’s Kingdom. 

Ministry Purpose: 
Our goal is to equip every member for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12). Submitted to the Holy Spirit, we will mobilize the Christian community to live redemptively so as to become Christ’ witnesses. We will be incarnational in execution, entering others’ world, as Christ entered our world, without compromising God’s truth, biblical convictions, our values, nor our standards. We will engage in Presence ministry, fully involved in the community through relationship building, speaking life to the dark corners of the earth, and proclaiming the Kingdom of God.
