Moreover the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon; And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land: That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. (Ezekiel 17:11-14)
The movements and campaigns of Babylon were all at the hand of GOD, who turns the hearts of kings whithersoever He wishes. We can trust that GOD is still in control of peoples, and nations, and kingdoms even today, and even those that reject Him. We must live, not as practical atheists ignoring GOD until we need Him, like He is our butler, or genie, but as sold out servants of the GOD who bought us with His blood. We must be about the Father's business of building His Kingdom, not in or of this world, but in the hearts of men. Sharing GOD's Word and telling the Good News of Jesus Christ is not an option, it is our commission, and a command for us to obey.
If you are not one of His, whose sIns are paid for by the Cross of Calvary, GOD calls you to repent. Surrender to Him on His terms and be born again. Stop living for yourself and let Jesus Christ give a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Jesus loves you and is not willing that you should perish but come to the knowledge of the Truth. He wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe in Him and receive His free gift of Salvation by Faith in His finished work today.
If you are a true child of GOD, testify to what GOD is doing in and for you today.
In Christ,
