“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Psalms 25: 21

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

We, the bride, the church should make our soul escape from the deeds of the foreign women and with an upright heart let us follow the Lord.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that if we, the bride, the church will grow in grace and truth and live truthfully then Christ will shine from within us and will manifest as he who saves many sinners.

Next what we are meditating upon is that 1 Kings 11: 1 - 4 But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— 

from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. 

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. 

For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

In the above-mentioned verses, King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

My dear people, in the above-mentioned portion even though God had given Solomon a special wisdom when he was ruling the kingdom, he loved the daughter of Pharoah, and this is being said with a pattern. That is, when we receive the anointing by Christ and as we grow in our life of faith if we will again love the traditional sinful life that we left behind then since we have an infatuation upon the foreign woman, which is the harlot woman so God sees that we are following foreign gods and in this manner when our heart is leaving the Lord and slipping away and because we have left the laws of the Lord so the Lord is saying that we have not followed the Lord with an upright heart. Therefore, loving people who are reading this we, according to the laws that the Lord has given us we must learn obedience and let us submit ourselves to follow the Lord with an upright heart.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
