Come Right People

Malachi 1:11-13


"For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great among the Gentiles;
In every place incense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
For My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
12 “But you profane it,
In that you say,
‘The table of the Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
13 You also say,
‘Oh, what a weariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
Should I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord."


God says, from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, His name shall be praised.  However, we have scandalized, defamed, and even destroyed the name of God.  We've watered it, weakened it, and have broken it severely.  That any power we may think we need, for the tests and trials.  We won't receive for our lack of faith in His word.  We can't make God fit into our tiny little selfish world's.  We have to step out in faith to His big plan, for our world.  (Romans 8:20-22)  "For the (creation) was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in (hope);  because the (creation) itself also will be (delivered from the bondage of corruption) into the glorious liberty of the children of God."  Our thinking is broken.  Our actions and ways towards each other are spiritually harmful.  And we can't go on believing God is ok with this, if we're His children .  Commandments have been given.  That we may destroy satan at every turn.  The fruits of God's Spirit should be working in us so fiercely.  That we'll be able to spot a snake, serpent, or wolf in sheep clothing.  At the drop of a dime.  God says, come out from among them.  Don't be unequally yoked, spreading our pearls among swine.  But we're mixing and mingling with every demon out here.  That our world has been turned upside down by satan.  (1 John 5:19)  "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one."  God says, without faith, it is impossible to please Him.  We're to find love and joy in the scriptures, in faith.  To enable God' Spirit, to conquer all, in what we say and do.  Our church is broken today family.  It was then and it is today.  Verse 13 says, " You also say,‘Oh, what a weariness!’ And you sneer at it,” Says the Lord of hosts. “And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick; Thus you bring an offering! Should I accept this from your hand?” Says the Lord."  Come right people.


(Ecclesiastes 7:9)  "Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools."

(Proverbs 28:20)  "A (faithful man) will abound with blessings, But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished."

(Proverbs 28:22)  "A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that poverty will come upon him."

Blessings to all who come as children of God,
