THE BEATITUDES

DON’T STOP SAYING IT (PART 1)

Brethren we are living in a day! However we must be conscious of a thing and that is the fact that God is the one speaking and a day in the sight of God could mean a thousand years, it could mean a year, a month or several weeks.

Now what about the day we are living in? It’s a day of gloominess, a day of darkness, a day of intense heat (for the people of the world, and they call it economic melt down, distress and the rest) according to the book of

MALACHI 4:1 (KJV)

¹ For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

and in ISAIAH 60:2 He says

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people

JOEL and ZEPHANIAH also have something to say about this day!

JOEL 2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains:

ZEPHANIAH 1:14-18 (KJV)

 ¹⁴ The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. ¹⁵ That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, ¹⁶ A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. ¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
