Lessons of Faith ✡ "And My Prayer Came Before You, Into Your Holy Temple" - Israel365

When my life was ebbing away, I called Hashem to mind; And my prayer came before You, Into Your holy Temple.

בְּהִתְעַטֵּף עָלַי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה זָכָרְתִּי וַתָּבוֹא אֵלֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִי אֶל־הֵיכַל קָדְשֶׁךָ

יונה ב:ח
b’-hit-a-TAYF a-LAI naf-SHEE et a-do-NAI za-KHAR-tee va-ta-VO ay-LE-kha
t’-fi-la-TEE el hay-KHAL ko-d’-SHE-kha

Today's Israel Inspiration

The above verse was uttered in prayer by Jonah the Prophet while he was trapped inside the belly of a large fish. Despite his grim situation, Jonah did not despair, but rather turned to God in prayer and in the hopes of surviving his ordeal and once again being worthy of standing before God in His Holy Temple in Yerushalayim. Jonah conveys the message that although man may stumble in sin, he can always pick himself up and recover. Even after our biggest failures, God lovingly awaits our return. The Book of Jonah is read aloud on Yom Kippur in synagogues around the world. The lessons on faith and determination that we learn from this prophet can be applied to our own struggles in daily life. "Accept the Call: The eBook of Jonah" provides the text of the Book of Jonah in English, Hebrew and transliteration, as well as inspiring and uplifting commentary. Download this thought-provoking eBook in preparation for Yom Kippur, which will be marked on the evening of September 30th

Yom Kippur and Forgiveness

Yom Kippur is a time forgiveness. But, how does forgiveness really work?

Israeli Population Hits 8.74 Million Before New Year

According to end-time scholar Rabbi Pinchas Winston, this decade’s rise in Israel’s Jewish birthrate is indicative of fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham of his prophesied descendents.

What is the connection between the days of the week and the Star of David?

The Bible teaches us that God created the world in six days and that on the seventh day, He rested. The Star of David is composed of 6 small triangles which can all perfectly fold into the center hexagon. Jewish tradition teaches us that during the first 6 days of the week, we should remain focused on and preparing for the sanctity of the Sabbath. No matter what business we have on the other days of the week, we should always remember the holiness of Shabbat. Check out Rafael's beautiful Star of David Jewelry!

Moses is coming to America!



Sept. 30, 2017

Coming to America!

Love for His People is helping Moses Julius, our Love For His People - Pakistan Director, come to North America this November for a week visit. We need to help him pay for some of the costs. His plane fare is already covered. 

For several years Moses has been heading up the Christian ministry of Shalom Today Ministries in Pakistan, teaching children there the truth of Yeshua, the full Bible, and to instill in them a great love for the people of Israel. 

He also established a sewing training school to educate widows and needy mothers, so they could learn a trade and provide for their families. 

Love For His People here in Charlotte, North Carolina began sending monthly funds for the support they desperately needed over two years ago, after sponsoring field trips for the kids and widows.

This spring of 2017 the Lord joined us further together, to expand the work of Love For His People in Pakistan. Moses became our Director and is now doing the work of administration and carrying out the vision for both ministries

We need to help him pay for some of the costs. His plane fare is already covered.  We need to provide the $650 cost he needs for his visa ($250) and lawyer's fee ($400) by the first week in October to pay for the for the Toronto, Canada trip. Will you help us?

And to meet him in person for the first time, I will be driving the 12 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina to welcome him. 

These are exciting times, as the Lord Yeshua is expanding His kingdom within those countries mostly populated by Muslims. Moses has been courageous in his stand for the Gospel and the love for the nation of Israel. When we get together we will be seeking further how the Lord will enable us to strategize and receive His plans.

Thank you for standing with us. Jehovah Jireh is making the way, and we are ready to carry out His will. Please join us.

Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

A. HIS PROGRAM FOR HIS PEOPLE

"For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29: 11 )

"For thus saith the Lord that after seventy years are accomplished at Babylon I will visit you and perform My good word toward you in causing you to return to this place." (Jeremiah)

God had told them what they should do and should not do. He would now tell them what He would do as the covenant-keeping God. Our lives will assume better shape if we always obey God's commandment, even when we don't know why.

God would not be angry forever, though the sinner won't go unpunished.They suffer for a while before He would come for their deliverance.

People often think that God has forgotten them during adversities. God told the exiles that He was allowing things to work out thus, because of His gracious plan to prosper them, to give them hope and a future.

"Then shall you call upon Me, and you shall go pray to Me and I will hearken to you. And you shall seek Me, and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah.29:12-13 )

Does God permanently abandon His people? No! He would deliver the exiles, so that their broken relationship/fellowship with Him would be restored. This renewal is however conditional. They must seek God whole heartedly.

B. HIS PROGRAM MUST BE FOLLOWED

"Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon."(Jeremiah 29:20)

In the book of Jeremiah, we can see that the people blinded themselves with belief in the predictions of those false prophets/diviners they amassed to themselves. This would result in grave consequences on the people. May we not be loggerheads with our Creator.

Sword, famine, and plague would divinely pursue them, for because they had not listened to God's words both the exiles and those at home were culprits. Hence, they needed to hear the word of God and obey, unconditionally, just like us today.

The only antidote to not being part of the destruction that would come on these evil people was to TRUST and OBEY the true Lord Jesus Christ.

My brothers and sisters, God doesn't permanently abandon His people; they can be sure of His restoration and full reinstatement when they realise their mistakes and repent.

May our good God of Israel bless every one in Jesus Christ's Name.


Shalom,

Pastor Abel Oyewale
