“17 Look! I am about
to cover the earth with a flood that will destroy every living thing that
breathes. Everything on earth will die. 18 BUT I WILL CONFIRM
MY COVENANT WITH YOU. So ENTER THE BOAT—YOU and your WIFE and your SONS and
their wives. 19 Bring a pair of every kind of animal—A MALE AND
A FEMALE—into the boat with you to keep them alive during the flood. 20 Pairs
of every kind of bird, and every kind of animal, and every kind of small animal
that scurries along the ground, will come to you to be kept alive. 21 And
be sure to take on board enough food for your family and for all the animals.” 22 So
Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.
7:1 When everything
was ready, the Lord said to Noah,
“GO INTO THE BOAT WITH ALL YOUR FAMILY, for among all the people of the earth,
I can see that you alone are RIGHTEOUS. 2 Take with you seven
pairs—male and female—of each animal I have approved for eating and for
sacrifice, and take one pair of each of the others. 3 Also take
seven pairs of every kind of bird. There must be A MALE AND A FEMALE in
each pair TO ENSURE that ALL LIFE WILL SURVIVE on the earth after the flood."
Whoever tells you that back in Bible times thing were
peaches and cream, watch out!
There are several principles we’ll be studying this morning.
The first principal is about coverage and
protection. Though we can read in between the lines here that The Lord is
saying that things had gotten pretty ugly as He points referring to Noah as the
only righteous one here on earth. But a few verses before on the same chapter
six, eleven to thirteen, clearly, you’ll see HE says “the earth had become corrupt and was filled with violence”, in other words,
ugly! And for this, THE LORD, wipe out the earth back then with the flood. Then to that righteous man, HE said that HE
would confirm the protection promise but in order for that to happen that
righteous man, in this case, Noah, he HAD to ENTER THE BOAT! We know be
obedient brought him a great reward.
Today, many, many years after the flood, IF
we look around us, things have gotten ugly, really ugly, AGAIN! And if we want
to be protected, like it happened to Noah, like him, we MUST obey God, and ENTER
THE BOAT!
What kind of boat are you
talking about? Think about the boat, as the protected enclosed place, were you
are in communion with God and HE is covering, sheltering you from all harm.
That’s why this is a MUST! When you are inside the boat, in that “secret”
place, where your senses are exposed to nothing but God’s presence, you’ll be
able to hear God speak to you. And when HE says, “Go!” you will easier hear and
confidently you ought to go. In this
place because it’s a place of separation, a place where you are not expose to
something or someone else, because it’s just you and GOD, your attention isn’t
divided, but center in GOD. In this
“boat”, you can get the assurance HE is the One speaking to you since the only
One there with you. You’ll also be able
to determine if Satan had tried to creep in, since he is a liar, whatever he
says does not aligns with God’s Word, and THE LORD HIMSELF will reveal that to
you, but you MUST HAVE ENTERED THE BOAT!
The second principle is about marriage! Adam & Eve, NOT Adam &
Steve!
Male and Female, HE
created them; it doesn't say they were created to satisfy each other's needs;
it doesn't say was about pleasure, it READS it WAS TO ENSURE that LIFE will
survive!
Why? Cause GOD says so!
That’s why! Debating over it is NONSENCE!
Even scientifically God’s
Word has been proven to be true about reproduction; LIFE begins when a male sex
cell fertilizes a female egg within the female reproductive system. In other
words, Adam & Steve (two males) OR Ana & Eve (two females), together DO
NOT fulfill the requirements of the elements needed to bring forth life.
And because debating over
it is NONSENCE! Choose not to.
If THE LORD moves you to
explain, do as HE says, otherwise, ask GOD to open the eyes that Satan had
blinded, so they get saved by the mercies of God, and keep going. I’m sure if The Lord allowed you to see that
is for you TO PRAY for those involved, so they could be saved, so please do.
Today I encourage you TO
ENTER THE BOAT… this is a magnificent time where our mind will be transform and
modify to fit its CREATOR’S specifications.
As we start nursing our kids, and from there they “graduate” to bottle,
and then to cup; and from diapers to pull ups or to underwear, THIS IS a
NECESSARY process for maturity. And as
we ENTER THE BOAT, I can’t tell you it will be all pleasant because that will
be a lie, but I can tell you that your transformation will be beneficial to you
and for the Kingdom of God. So I challenge you to ENTER THE BOAT, today!!!
Here’s how…
Call upon the name of the
Lord, ask HIM to forgive you of your sins, because truly NO ONE can forgive
sins but HIM. Recognize that HE sent JESUS to die for your sins, and accept the
gift of Salvation by allowing HIM to become the Master of your life.
THEN, you’ll get in the
boat, as you start every day not only in prayer but READING HIS WORD! Your
train will begin then, and I’ll be right here, praying for you, and eager
expecting you to get back to testify about the GREAT things you’ve learned in
the process.
God bless you, my friend!
Hope to hear from you, SOON!!!
