Jonah’s Next Sermon. Part [1] 07/26/2026 (Morning thought)

2nd Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper.

Those two statements given in the opening passage are of critical importance for the Christian and every believer to digest, and thoroughly understand since they follow on the heels of each other strategically. The way we are to believe in God is by believing His prophets. Here they are, juxtaposed to each other. [1] Believe in The Lord your God. [2] Believe His prophets.

The reason why the statements come close together is because ordained prophets of God are His mouth pieces to all of the human family, for they speak on His behalf, on everything that pertains to temporal or eternal life. From salvation to end time events, from agriculture to finances. From marriage to diets and foods, and everything in between, God’s prophets are your go to source for instructions on godly living, for true success, and for true prosperity, because the word of God comes to us through His ordained prophets.

For this reason, they are to be believed and taken very seriously….. 2nd Peter 1: 19 We have also a more-sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the day star arises in your hearts. 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

2nd Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

How To Cope with Losing Loved Ones. Part [13] 08/26/2026 (Evening thought)

1st Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In trying to cope with the loss of loved ones in our day, we are uniquely positioned to possibly witness with our own two eyes, a fulfillment of the blessed hope in which faith would give way to reality in the not-too distant future. The question for us who are alive is will we cross the threshold of 1000 years, when Christ returns, or will we fall short. Coping with loss should also include a trust in God’s promises of the first resurrection, for this is what will make all the difference at the end of the day.

 1st Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

1st Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ….. We therefore end with a passage of Scripture that will enable us to keep our heads lifted to the skies, because final movements will be rapid ones, and the phenomenon of death will soon become a thing of the past, wherefore, comfort one another with these words.

1st Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
