Amos 4:12 “God Wants to Make You A
Blessing” LATE MR. N. DANIEL
A
certain teacher was going home. A man gave him a tract which read, "Therefore
thus will I do unto thee O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee,
prepare to meet thy God, O Israel." He took the tract and went home.
Within two weeks he met God. Brought up in a good Christian home, he had good
habits but does not mean that one lives a victorious life. After one is converted,
one will not be afraid of meeting the Lord. Once a man's car slid and landed in
a canal by the road side and turned upside down. In the canal under the water
within an upturned car he prayed for a chance to seek the Lord and be
converted. If a man is born again, you can place him anywhere, he will convert
that place. God is asking each wife, "Have you brought a blessing to your
husband and children and parents-in-law?" Perhaps your contribution was
money and vanity to your new relatives. Are you a blessing today? If God meets
you, what is your answer? Young girls marry and make the young men of no use
for Jesus. They want to marry qualified and highly
salaried men. What for? The world is their goal.
Am I improving
the faith level of my family? Am I lifting my husband in faith? The fear of God
is a treasure. Isaiah 33:6. God is looking at us and watching us. We had great
fear of fornication and adultery. Can you say, "I have been clean." You misuse your body before marriage. Then how
can you be happy in your married life? "Make me a Joseph" was my
heart's greatest yearning. I did not pray for God's protection or blessing on
food. Joseph loved his cruel brothers. Can you love like him? Let us be very
careful about our homes.
There
are evil spirits in some families. Men do not know it. By beauty and money some
men are attracted to marry there. Then they suffer all their lives. There is much
knowledge in the Word of God for those who seek God. God does not want to
afflict us. He has no joy in afflicting us. A certain teacher came weeping to
me. Every time special meetings were arranged in his place, he would plan to
leave the place. Every time he ran away from the meetings, his son would get
ill. He understood he was the cause of the suffering of his son.
Our God is a great God. What will you do with
your children? Can you bring up your children in the fear of God? Many blessings
will then come out of those homes. Will our home speak of the glory of God? Will
your daughter be a blessing? God said to Abraham, "I will make you a great
blessing." To trust in God is a great blessing. I never deviated from the
truths of this Book. God never forsook me. He will not leave you either.
