2. THE BOOK OF NAHUM.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NINEVEH.

What happened to Nineveh? the book of Jonah ended so abruptly!

Did you ever wonder what happened to the great city of Nineveh, the significant capital? Did they repent of their evil wickedness against God? No, they returned to their old ways and piled sin upon sin.

Nineveh became worse! Now they must learn that…

(“wrath restrained”) as in Jonah’s days. Is (“wrath reserved”)

If! there is a wilful return to wickedness.

Though God will forgive “sin repented of.” He will not condone sin” persisted in.”

Nahum takes over where Jonah left off. They could not presume upon the Grace of God nor His silence.

We must also be aware! God is not mocked and there is no escape.                                       For Nahum goes on to say:

“Jehovah has His way in the worldwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet”

Chapter 1:3-6.

Compassion can never be exercised at the expense of Righteousness. There must be a settling of accounts with God.

Nineveh swelled with pride in the imagination of her own invulnerability. But now besides rebuking Nineveh’s pride, oppression, idolatry and the defiance of the Lord God Almighty. NAHUM publishes the decree:

“SHE SHALL EVER BE DESTROYED.”

God was tender and compassionate through Jonah but shows severity through Nahum.                 

He is the same today and from age to age. He is not less severe in new Testament times as He was in the old Testament. Nor is He less GRACIOUS .

“I AM THE LORD AND I CHANGE NOT.”

The gospel does not water Him down, or white wash sin!

Christians and Churches have adopted a light view of sin and embraced Homosexuality, Immorality, Abortion, Fornication and telling of Lies.

“God understands,” so they say, disregarding sin.

No! “He is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever.”

He said,” I am God, and I Change not”                                We ‘must’ obey His Word! Do you think you can get away with sin?

Remember that God said to Cain, who brutally killed his brother, Abel, then lied to God-

“SIN LAYS AT YOUR DOOR.” IN GOD’S SIGHT, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LITTLE SIN!

SIN IS SIN. NOR DOES TIME ERASE IT.

SIN IS COMING SHORT OF GOD’S. STANDARDS.

                                              

AS WE ALL KNOW, HE IS COMPLETELY FLAWLESS, PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.

He only chooses not to remember the sins we confess! But Cain was unrepentant, never fulfilled his destiny and lived out of the ultimate blessing that God had for him. Punishment is inevitable.

So let us keep short accounts of sin.

YOU SIN – CONFESS IT “AT ONCE” TO GOD HIMSELF AND TO THOSE WE SIN AGAINST IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST THE ANOINTED ONE.

JESUS WILL   FORGIVE A TRULY REPENTANT SINNER. YOU ARE NEVER REJECTED BY HIM.                           

That is imperative for those who were affected by our offence.

“Then you will have a conscience void of offence before God and man.”

THEN YOU WILL SLEEP AT NIGHT!!

Amen.

A PRAYER, LORD GOD, YOU ARE A HOLY AWESOME GOD. THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU. I HAVE BEEN HIDING MY SIN FOR MANY YEARS. I NOW, AT THIS MOMENT, CONFESS IT HONESTLY TO YOU: ( name it.)

(be open and honest before Him… He already knows anyhow.)

PLEASE FORGIVE ME LORD AND CLEANSE ME FROM IT. NOW I CLAIM YOUR FORGIVENESS OF THAT SIN AND THE LIES THAT FOLLOWED.

THANKS FOR YOUR UNFAILING LOVE AND PARDON FROM MY SIN.

PLEASE GIVE ME THE COURAGE TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THOSE WHOM I’VE SINNED AGAINST.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AMEN.

Amen.

YOU WILL BLOSSOM LIKE A ROSE!
