Welcome to Ning

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

  • #And many things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. Luke 3:18

    How easy it is to offend people when you preach the truth. Some people will not like you and will have you thrown in prison, as was John. Yet for all these things John fulfilled his ministry as he baptized the Messiah and the Spirit descended like a dove upon Him, with the voice from heaven saying: This is my Beloved Son, hear Him. Jesus would later comfort John in prison by telling him of men born of women there is not a greater than John the Baptist.

  • #And as the people were in expectation and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Luke 3:15,16

    John said I must decrease and He must increase. John knew that his role was that of the forerunner of Christ, yet others were trying to call him the Christ. John quickly dismisses that by telling them that he baptizes with water, but one among you whose latchet of shoes I am not worthy to unloose, being Jesus, who will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire. This is the baptism that saves us, as we are true disciples when we have experienced this baptism of Christ. I pray that of all the things that we learn about John, that we remember that he never tried to usurp his role on earth to the Messiah, as he continued to be the forerunner of Christ until his death and he will receive the crown of life for doing so.

  • #Annas and Caiaphas being high priest, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Luke 3:2-4

    John the Baptist came preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. As Isaiah said he would be in the wilderness six months before the Messiah would come and his diet would be locus and wild honey. John prepared the way for the Lord and we must walk in his footsteps. The Messiah will come again, and John will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, as well as the disobedient to the just God. Repent while there is time, for the Spirit of God will not always strive with man.

  • #And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stands in the presence of God and am sent to speak unto thee and to shew thee these glad tidings. Luke 1:19

    Gabriel was sent by God to tell Zacharias of the birth of his son John, which was glad tidings. Before John was born, Zacharias was dumb and unable to speak because he did not believe the angel of God. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those that wait for the Lord shall renew their strength and mount up with wings like an eagle. They shall walk and not faint, and run and not be weary.

  • #And Zacharias said unto the angel, whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man and my wife well stricken in years. Luke 1:18

    All things are possible with God. Zacharias starts to look to his own understanding. The angel has already told them they will have a son and are to call him John. We must trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding. Yet in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy pathway. Prov. 3:5,6

  • #And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. Luke 1:16

    John the Baptist will come in the power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the just God. How we need John the Baptist today, as the Church is in apostasy and families are being torn apart by divorce. Broken marriages account for more than 50% of the marriages today. The Church does not know how to minister to broken marriages in the church they would rather just ignore the problem. John the Baptist would ultimately call out Phillip for taking his brother's wife and for that he would end up in prison. If anyone will preach like John the Baptist he had better be prepared to lose his head, for that is ultimately what happened to John the Baptist. Thank God that before the Kingdom of God is established on earth, God will send John the Baptist in the power of Elias to turn the unjust people back to the Lord God. May we pray that God will send him soon.

  • #And thou shall have joy and gladness and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. Luke 1:14,15

    John the baptist birth gave joy to his parents and he was filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb. For the baby leaped for joy at the announcement that Mary would give birth to the Lord Jesus Christ. Not drinking wine or strong drink kept his anointing strong. Parents need to train up a child the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart. Prov. 22:6

  • #But the angel said unto him, Fear not Zacharias; for thy prayer is heard and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son and thou shall call his name John.Luke 1:13

    John the baptist was a special child to be born to his parents Zacharias and Elizabeth. As  they were well striken in years but God heard the prayer of Zacharias and sent the angel of the Lord to confirm it. For all things are possible with God. It only takes mustard seed faith to move mountains, and this mountain of infertility has been moved by the power of God. So if you are struggling with infertility, then give it to God and let Him move that mountain in your life. 

  • #Who is wise and he shall understand these things? prudent and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. Hosea 14:9

    A great truth for the wise and those who understand, that Jehovah is right in all that He does. As we see those who are wise walk in them, but the transgressors fall therein. We see how Hosea loved an unfaithful wife, Gomer, and he waited until she became a faithful wife and redeemed her. Remember Ephraim was attached to idols and God said leave him alone. So Jehovah waited until Ephraim got rid of all of his idols, and redeemed him. So as it is written, the just will live by faith, as Hosea had faith in the Most High God to make things right and that is just what happened. We live in an imperfect world with imperfect people and we have to be forgiving people. Just as God commended His love toward us, in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us. The just for the unjust. So just as God forgave us for Christ's sake, we too must forgive one another.

  • #Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no Saviour besides Me. Hosea 13:4

    Jehovah is a jealous God, and He visits the sins upon the fathers to the third generation and has mercy to a thousand generations that obey Him. The Lord delivered Israel from Egypt and there is no god before Him. Serve Him with an obedient heart.
