This is the last lesson for the 2017 for our Sunday School Class at Victory Baptist Church, Weatherford, Texas. We started reading the One Year Bible 1 January and have read each day to know God. Hopefully you have been reading the on-line Bible also to know God.
Lesson # 51 One Year 365 Bible Class (read 11-17 Dec) VBC 17
December 2017
This will be our last class together for 2017. I pray you
remember our goals we started with 1 January. You said you would “strive” to
read your Bible every day of the year, you would write out your salvation
testimony and practice writing your prayers using God’s proper names, titles
attributes and traits. Get it done,
Psalm 119:165.
You are now better prepared to serve in our church because you have “disciplined “ yourself to
read, and to hear and obey the LORD’s Word, ways, commandments, statues, precepts,
law, testimonies, righteous judgments and sayings. If you are not right with
God (James 4:17), get right, then be right, know right, do right and don’t
quit.
You need to complete reading the last of the Old
Testament Prophets letters, Psalms, Proverbs and the Revelation of The Lord
Jesus Christ. Continue to look for God’s attributes, his names, promises that
are applicable for you today, admonitions to avoid sin (s) and the path made
plain as per John 3:12. Consider Amos 3:3 and 5:4-8.
Hopefully you gained an appreciation for obedience as you
read Jonah. Perhaps you have decided that even when you are overtaken by a
fault, caught and chastised, that you will “yet look again toward thy holy
temple” Jonah 2:4b. Revelation 5 makes plain “who is worthy to open the book
and to lose the seals thereof” so that we may say Amen. Psalm 133 provides
encouragement to keep on being thankful and grateful.
As you read Micah on 15 December you were reminded of
God’s holiness and the sinfulness of all men. Every man has the choice to make
and that is to either follow The LORD or a god of their own imagination. The
man that sat on the white horse in Revelation 6 was not the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed are those who will believe the gospel and “we” will wear white robes.
Look at Micah 5 for the prophecy of the birthplace of
ruler in Israel. Make Micah 6:8 a pattern for the rest of your life. Look
forward to that Day when God will bring you forth to the light so that you may
behold his righteousness. Rejoice as you read Revelation 7 knowing where you
will be when this grand event will take place. Take time to read Psalm 135,
Selah, and then bless the LORD. Believe that every word of God is pure.
Nahum is the history of Nineveh. Pay attention to God’s
warnings not heeded and allow this to temper your obedience to His Commands.
How is your “fear of God” impacted because you have read today? Woe, woe, woe is pending those of unbelief.
Be persuaded to win the lost at any cost. Read and re-read Psalm 136, then give
thanks. **Take time to make Proverbs 30:7-9 as your stewardship guide /
checkbook verse.
Habakkuk is applicable today if one is concerned for his
nation. How do you pray for your people? There is hope for us when we hear,
believe and obey God and then be just and live by faith. Pray verse 3:1-2 with
tears and righteous hope. Read and believe 3:17-19 and live like you are a son
of God. Allow Revelation 9 to impress you with the deceitfulness of sin and the
stronghold Satan has on unbelievers, yet it is the LORD who opens and closes
the bottomless pit. What song are you singing today?
Zephaniah records that God will and has judged all men,
judged all families and all nations, then read 1:14-18. Look carefully at 2:3
before you read 3:5-8. Now rejoice by reading 3:9-20 and be thankful for God’s
mercy and provisions. Our work as ministers of reconciliation is not over, so
be busy about our Father’s business. Appreciate Psalm 138:2b as you read the
Word to know God. Consider the “promise” at verse 8 when you are overcome and
in doubt.
Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi are the prophets God
provided to the Jews as they returned to Jerusalem after their 70 years of
captivity. All men are warned to “consider your ways” when establishing
priorities for daily life. Is the LORD preeminent in your life? Revelation 11
shows the activities of the two witnesses that are to occur in the midst of the
seven years of the tribulation what attributes of God did you see today? God is
shown to be Omniscient in Psalm 139 and believers will call for the LORD to
make verses 23-24 real and true each day. Read your Bible to know God.
Thanks for sharing your time with us this year in our
class. We pray that you have been blessed as you made the LORD your Lord each
day because you read your Bible to know Him. We pray as you return to your
regular class Sunday 7 January 2018 that you will be fruitful and participate
by encouraging others to read their Bible to know GodI PLAN TO CONTINUE TO READ THROUGH MY ONE YEAR BIBLE - WILL YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO READ EVEY DAY IN 2018?
I hope you all from Australia, Belarus, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Latvia, Malaysia, Netherlands, Panama, Philippians, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Turks and Caicos Islands,Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, Venezuela, Vietnam, will make this your page of joy and hope.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. May God get your attention to the eternal point of The HOLY SPIRIT drawing you to The Father in the name of the only begotten Son, Jesus so that you will hear and believe the gospel, Jesus saves, you are a sinner and you must be born again. Please read John 3:1-36.
