Subject: SEEK RIGHTEOUSNESS

Zephaniah 2:1-3: Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired: Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, BEFORE THE DAY OF *THE LORD'S ANGER COME UPON YOU.* Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgement; ***SEEK RIGHTEOUSNESS, SEEK MEEKNESS: IT MAY BE YE SHALL BE HID IN THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER.***
Surely, this is the day of the Lord's anger, just as God was angry in the days of Noah when God looked down and saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Gen 6:5) Now is the same as it was then, the earth is corrupt because of HATE, THEFTS, UNCLEANNESS, ABORTION, PRIDE, HOMOSEXUALITY, ADULTERY, FORNICATION, MURDER, ANGER, FOOLISHNESS, AND ALL KINDS OF EVIL LUSTS THAT ARE BEING FULFILLED IN THOSE WHO ARE WALKING AFTER THE FLESH!
Thanks be unto God who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, there is HOPE for ALL WHO WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY, SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, WE WIL BE HID IN THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER. The Scripture says that IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD!
I am so thankful that we have a God who has no respecter of persons: Acts 10:34-35: THEN PETER OPENED HIS MOUTH, AND SAID, OF A TRUTH I PERCEIVE THAT GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS; BUT IN *EVERY NATION* HE THAT FEARETH HIM AND **WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, IS ACCEPTED WITH HIM.***
If we are found accepted with HIM, we do not have to fear the things that are coming upon the earth, for, surely WE SHALL BE HID IN THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER. And there is hope for all who will REPENT AND TURN FROM THE EVIL OF THEIR DOINGS, FOR GOD HATH SAID THAT HE HAS NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF THE WICKED BUT RATHER, THAT THE WICKED WOULD TURN FROM THE WICKEDNESS OF HIS DOINGS AND LIVE!
Through the BLOOD OF JESUS YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN OF YOUR SINS, IF YOU REPENT AND TURN TO HIM, AND GOD WILL MAKE A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST JESUS OUT OF YOU!
Let me encourage all of you who are already SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, to continue to do SO, for the Lord is A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM, AND IN OUR SEEKING LET'S NOT FORGET TO SEEK FOR MEEKNESS! To be MEEK is to be HUMBLY SUBMISSIVE TO THE WILL OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE.
I would welcome any replies that you have to any of the messages that I have posted or will post as the Lord quickens me what to write, for Jesus said, THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE, AND BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH DO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED!
Sincerely in the Love of Jesus! Sis. Brenda Swain
