Eyesalve: Are You One of Them?

By | Eyesalve

“And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. 2And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; 3And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; 4That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.” I Samuel 3:1-4

 

Even when it seems there is no desire for God anywhere; even if it seems all of society has turned from God; even when it seems that the lamp of God has grown dim and gone out in much of the church today; God will still call the names of those who will listen and obey His voice. God still has a people for Himself. Are you one of them?

Eyesalve: Glean Amongst the Abundance

By | Eyesalve

“And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: 16And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. 17So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.” Ruth 2:15-17

 

The God loving Christian will thank God and rejoice for the blessing of being able to glean amongst the abundance. The lazy self-serving Christian will say, “You mean I have to do my own gleaning?

Eyesalve: New Family

By | Eyesalve

“And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.” Ruth 2:11

 

Every true believer, whether it happened to them physically or not, had to determine in their heart to leave their father and mother and their land, and become a part of a family that they did not know. This new family is the body of Christ, the church of the living God.

Eyesalve: One Time Foreigners

By | Eyesalve

“And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:” Ruth 1:16

 

Ruth was a foreigner to Judah and their one true God. Yet she insisted that their God would be her God. God received Ruth. She was King David’s Great Grandmother and she was a part of the lineage of Jesus. Hallelujah! Rejoice saints, though we were at one time foreigners, God let us have Him for our God.

Eyesalve: A Saint

By | Eyesalve

“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7

 

Some of you may be content to be just a sinner saved by grace, but I trust you desire to rise above that and be what you are called to be, a SAINT.

Eyesalve: Separated To

By | Eyesalve

“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,” Romans 1:1

 

When we think of separation, the first thing that comes to our mind is to leave someone or something. No doubt, this is what it means to separate. However, as Christians we aren’t just to separate ourselves from sin, the world and the devil, but we are to belong to someone or something else. It is Jesus and His kingdom we must belong to. We can’t just detach, but we must attach. We must not just be separated from, but separated to.

Eyesalve: Don’t Know

By | Eyesalve

“For as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:”(NKJV) Acts 17:23

 

It’s not too much different today. People are trying to worship a God they do not know.

Eyesalve: Daily

By | Eyesalve

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11

 

They didn’t just search the word, they searched it daily. Do you?

Eyesalve: Add To The Kingdom

By | Eyesalve

“And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.” Acts 16:5

 

The church who is established in the Lord will be the church who is winning souls. Healthy sheep beget healthy sheep. The creative entertaining church will add people to a building, the established church will add souls to the kingdom of God.

Eyesalve: From Generation to Generation

By | Eyesalve

“That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.” Deuteronomy 6:2

 

A grandson may reject grandpa’s traditions and “old fashioned” way of doing things. However, there is one thing that never changes from generation to generation; nor can you improve on it or scale it down. It is the statutes and commandments of the Lord.
