Our key words in this message are still
as the days of Noah were
Noah was not looking
for a way to get people in, as the term is so
frequently quoted among the churches today in this country.
This is the
genealogy of Noah
Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations
Noah walked
with GOD
Genesis
6:9.
When a person walks with GOD, there is very little room left for self, ambition, party going, socialising, compromising, playing golf or holidaying. Mens breakfasts become an insult, conferences all become a bore and your out and about your Fathers business.
BUT THIS I SAY TO YOU BRETHREN, THE TIME IS
SHORT
SO THAT FROM NOW ON
EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE WIVES
SHOULD BE AS THOUGH
THEY HAD NONE.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:29.
Are the so called Spirit Filled Churches of Australia really any better then the Roman Catholic system with her beautiful outer appearance, broad minded ways and her acceptance of consumer friendly bible translations???
Question: How many professed men of GOD today would faithfully, loyally and happily shepherd a congregation, the size of our great brother in the faith Noah?
When we look at Noah's ministry through the eyes of
reality, there is nothing to be found with the naked eyes to attract, encourage or
persuade him to do the work of GOD, save his love
for GOD Himself and the little flock that was entrusted to him
that remnant!
Jesus said to him
YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR
GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND
THIS IS THE FIRST
AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.
MATTHEW 22:37,38.
And Micah the prophet said WOE IS ME! FOR I AM LIKE THOSE WHO GATHER SUMMER FRUITS, LIKE THOSE WHO GLEAN VINTAGE GRAPES THERE IS NO CLUSTER TO EAT, OF THE FIRST RIPE FRUITS THAT MY SOUL DESIRES.
