GOD’S PROMISE TO THE NATION

A promise of prosperity, safety, peace, and protection from evil, plus victory over enemies is made to the nation that keeps and does God’s statues and commandments.

Scripture:
If ye walk in my statues, and keep my commandments and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. For I will have respect unto your and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. (Leviticus 26:3-8)

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
We have learned that a nation that keeps God’s word will be blessed beyond measure.

Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this
study of His word, Amen.

CHARACTER OF A GOOD LEADER

God gave these words to David concerning the responsibility of those who are in leadership. They are to be just and reverence God. They are to be a shining light of justice. He also says that the people rejoice when those that do right are in authority and mourn when ruled by those who are wicked.


Scripture:
The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after the rain. (2nd Samuel 23:2-4)

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. (Proverbs 29:2)

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
We have learned that a good leader is one who reverences God and is just.

Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this
study of His word, Amen.

WHAT DOES GOD DESIRE OF MAN

WHAT DOES GOD DESIRE OF MAN

Our Father informs us that he has shown through his word what he desires from us and also that He will teach us. He requests, through his prophet Moses, for us to hear, keep and do his statues. He assures us that He will be with us if we pursue what is good. Our Father desires most of all for us to believe in His son, Jesus Christ.

Speaking as a nation in the end times God says in Deuteronomy 32:28-29 “For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!”

Scripture:
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. (Micah 6:8)

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Psalms 32:8)

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. (Psalms 34:14)

Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. (Amos 5:14)

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
God has revealed to us in his word what he requires of us and that is to hear and do what is in that word and to believe on His son, Jesus Christ.

Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this
study of His word, Amen.
