Am I my brother's keeper? (Part 10 A World of Peace)

 

 

“If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner” By Marlon Brando

 

 

This is the 205^th letter:

 

 

Text for the day: Isaiah 60:18 (New King James Version)

 

Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; But you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.

 

 

Our Theme for the day: “Am I my brother's keeper?” (Part 10 A World of Peace)

 

 

Our Devotional

This is the final part in a ten part series on violence and vengeful thinking. About fifteen centuries after the sentence pronounced upon Cain had gone forth from God, the universe witnessed the outgrowth of his influence and example, in the crime and pollution that flooded the earth. Every emotion, every impulse, every imagination of men, and intention of all their thinking was only evil continually. Mankind found delight in being at war with the divine principles of purity, peace and love. (Genesis 6:5)

 

After the sentence of death pronounced upon the fallen race was made, all saw that God’s decision was both just and merciful. (Genesis 6:6-7) The longer men lived in sin, the more abandoned they became. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in our day. (Matthew 24:37-39) One day God shall cut short a career of unbridled iniquity (Matthew 24:22), and free the world from the influence of those who have become so hardened in rebellion. This shall be a blessing to the righteous but a curse to the wicked.

 

 

Not that God longs to see the death of the wicked, (Ezekiel 33:11) “He carries with Him the sympathy and approval of the whole universe as He moves step by step towards His great plan of redemption. God is love (1 John 4:8), and He will demonstrate this love even in the final eradication of rebellion from the earth. It will be finally seen, that all who have forsaken the divine precepts have placed themselves on the side of Satan, in warfare against Christ. When the prince of this world shall be judged, and all who have united with him shall share his fate, the whole universe as witness to the sentence will declare, "Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints." Revelation 15:3.

 

Isaiah describes a time when the violence of men and beast will cease. All nature in that day will be at peace, “They shall not hurt or destroy in all my Holy Mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yahweh as the waters cover the sea. (Isa. 11:6-9)

 

A "new heavens and new earth," Isaiah terms it (Isa. 65:17-25, 66:22-24). Soon Jesus the inaugurated King of Kings shall come, to take up divine justice for all who are oppressed. (Isa. 11:1-5). In that day total peace shall reign among all men and nations (Isa. 2:4; Mic. 4:3). The suffering and toils of life will be eliminated as "Yahweh wipes away all tears from all faces," and death itself is "swallowed up forever more" (Revelation 21:1-5 / Isa. 25:7-8). One day there shall be peace in the valley for you and me, no more fighting, no more who is the best, or who got the most votes. All selfish gain well be over, until that day, keep focus, and trust in the Lord. He will carry you through. In the morning, there shall be, “A World of Peace.”

Am I my brother's keeper? (Part 9 No violence up here)

 

For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. {Hebrews 10:30}

 

 

 

 

This is the 204^th letter:

 

 

Text for the day: Jeremiah 22:3

 

This is what the LORD says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.

 

 

Our Theme for the day: “Am I my brother's keeper?” (Part 9 “No violence up here”)

 

 

Our Devotional

When God came down to Moses on Mount Sinai to talk with him, and give him His commandments the second time, the Bible says He also proclaimed his name to him. As Moses got up early in the morning and climbed the mount with two tablets of stone. “God descended in the cloud and took up his position there beside him and called out the name, God. After securing Moses in the cleft of the rock, God passed by and called out, "God, God, the God of mercy and grace, endlessly patient, so much love, so deeply true—loyal in love for a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, rebellion, and sin. Still, he doesn't ignore sin. He holds sons and grandsons responsible for a father's sins to the third and even fourth generation." Exodus 34:6-7 (The Message Bible)

 

 

The King James Version of the Bible put’s it this way, “God who is merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, the one who keeps mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's, children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.” (Exodus 34:6-7) This was not the first time or the last time God would speak directly with His sons and daughters. The divine voice that Cain had heard in entreaty and admonition, now pronounced the terrible words: "And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth." (Genesis 4:12)

 

The Bible pictures God as a searcher who comes looking for His people. He loved us before we first loved Him. (John 3:16 / Ephesians 2:4- 7 / 1 John 4:9-10) Although Cain felt that his punishment was greater than his crime, “all persons who commit crime feel the same!” There is a bigger lesson for all to see, Cain was afraid for his own life that someone would take vengeance on him, but God in His mercy set a mark on him that whosoever should kill him, God would take vengeance on them. (Genesis 4:14-15) It is true that jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance, but God’s word is, don’t go forth, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay. (Proverbs 6:34 / Romans 12:19)

 

For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of retribution, to uphold Zion’s cause. (Isaiah 34:8)

 

 

As leaders, God has made us to be overseers, of families, communities, work places, schools, and churches. Our duty is to encourage the people to, “Be strong, and do not fear; because your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” (Isaiah 35:4) The song writer said, “Hold me close, let your love surround me, bring me near, draw me to your side”. As Moses turn and saw the back of God on that day long ago on the mount. May you see His glory today! Remember as God was then, He is still the same today saying, “No violence up here, vengeance in mine saith the Lord.”

"Am I my brother's keeper?" (Part 8 "What have you done?")

 

Satan is constantly at work, with intense energy and under a thousand disguises, to misrepresent the character and government of God. With extensive, well-organized plans and marvelous power, he is working to hold the inhabitants of the world under his deceptions.

 

 

 

This is the 203^rd letter:

 

 

Text for the day: 1 Corinthians 5:10 New King James Version

 

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

 

 

Our Theme for the day: “Am I my brother's keeper?” (Part 8 “What have you done?”)

 

 

Our Devotional

 

Have you ever judge someone incorrectly? How did you feel after? Did you go back and apologize or did you leave it and let bygones be bygones? The Bible points out that there is coming a time when God shall call everyone by name before His judgment seat. On that day God shall multiply or subtract our talents and the intent of our hearts correctly. (Matthew 25:14-30 / 1 Corinthians 5:10) Human beings are likely to judge according to feelings or appearances, but the counsel of Gods Kingdom says; “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24 / 1 Samuel 16:7). It was said of Jesus that “he knew all men” and that “he knew what was in man.” (John 2:24-25)

 

Every one should avoid judging after their own sight, and also stop reproving after the hearing of their own ears.” The time has come when God is calling for exemplary Christians who don’t criticize or form hurried opinions concerning their fellow Christians. Soon we must all appear before the judgment seat of God. Cain was soon called to answer for his crime. His Day of Judgment had come! The Lord said unto Cain, “Where is Abel thy brother?” And he said “I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9) Cain had gone so far in sin that he had lost a sense of the continual presence of God and of His greatness and omniscience. So he resorted to lies to conceal his shame. 

 

Like Cain there is someone whose intent is to kill someone today. Not that we long to see death! In the name of Jesus STOP! Who shall resort to falsehood to conceal there own guilt? Who! The Lord shall say to you, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground,” (Genesis 4:10) because you killed your brother with your hands and/or your mouth.

 

God had given Cain an opportunity to confess and reflect on his sin, so has He given us an opportunity to confess and reflect on our sins. Cain knew the enormity of the deed he had done, and of the falsehood he had uttered to conceal it; but he was rebellious still, so his day of judgment had come, sentence will no longer be deferred. May God help us to be true and honest to Him today, so when He comes to our name in the judgment we will be found in Him and not wanting! In view of the solemnity of the hour, all must watch lest the decisive moment that forever fixes every man’s destiny finds them unprepared and “wanting.” (Daniel 5:27 / 2 Corinthians 5:10 / Revelation 22:11-12)

Thank you for the encouraging words.  This message (Am I my brother's keeper” (Part 4 Why is your Face Downcast?) has helped me to realize why some of our young males entice each other with negative instead of positive words. May they get the encouragement they need from each other through positive affirmation instead of the negative!

 

Be continuously blessed!!
