Separation

(Ezra 9
12Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.

Separation is the most difficult commandment to follow, which God has given to his children.

However, we, in this modern era, have diluted it in the most proficient manner in order to live without a complete separation. At the same time, we declare to others, that we are a member of the blood bought church of Jesus Christ.


Act 2:37-43 describe all seven major doctrines of Christianity ie,

1. Repentance
2. Baptism
3. Holy Spirit
4. Separation
5. Apostolic doctrines
6. Fellowship
7. Breaking of Bread and Prayer


• When you closely review the above seven commandments, you will see that the separation from this untoward generation is the most difficult one for a believer to follow.

• You will repent when you hear the word and receive it by believing that they are from God.

• You will take water baptism, if you have constant contact with your prayer fellowship, because you cannot decline the bible truth. Also, you will realize that baby baptism (if you had one) is baseless according to Holy bible.

• You will believe in Holy Spirit and receive it, if you really have a thirst for it.

• You will accept and give importance to Apostolic teachings when you are in continues bible study

• You will take part in fellowship without any difficulty due to so many reasons according to each one sees it.

• Once you are in fellowship, you are automatically a part of the prayer (even though you don’t pray personally) and Lords Supper (Breaking Bread)
• However, even though you obey all the above commandments, you will find that you are struggling to keep the commandment of separation.

*Paul says in Romans 7 15 – 24 15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? The above paragraph shows , despite the achievements of Paul's faith, he still had a long way to go. Paul still struggled with sin, still struggled with the desires of his flesh. In his letter to the Romans, Paul described this struggle: "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?" (Rom. 7:24).

As Paul exemplifies, even the most mature Christian struggles with sin, struggles with desires of the flesh, struggles with temptations of the world, and is in constant warfare with the evil one. This struggle is and always will be with us in this world. If Paul had not yet been "made perfect", we certainly have a long way to go. It is a sign of Christian maturity to recognize our imperfections in the sight of God.

The mature Christian says with Paul: "What a wretched man I am!" Ironically, the recognition that Paul struggled as we do can be an encouragement to us: if Paul experienced the same struggles that we do, and yet served God so mightily, so can we also serve God mightily.
Paul did not rest in his imperfections, but used them as an impetus to strive for perfection. He said: "I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." This is the essence of the attitude that mature Christians should have: not satisfied with past achievements, ever striving to be sanctified, desiring ever more to continue to strive to do the will of God. The term, to "press on", that Paul uses in this passage is used to describe the struggle of a runner in a race. The life and service of a Christian is often described in terms of a struggle of one sort or another. For instance, Christ said: "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door" (Luke 13:24

Coming back to Ezra 9:12, we can see the servant Ezra struggling to remove the sin from his people who returned from Babylon captivity. The Jewish people had entered into marital relationship with gentiles in the neighboring countries.

Ezra asked them all to get out of their marital relationship with their non-Jewish spouse to have the mercy of the god to bless them further. If there is a sin in our life, we have to get rid of it even though they are so deeply rooted in us. It is not an easy task for Ezra which is to break the Israelites from their marriage with outsiders. Many of them had children and had very good relationship in their family. The task had taken 2 months to complete by the help of God.

The important thing we need to realize here is the Israelites had accepted the advice of Ezra and came out of their ungodly relationship. How many of us will sacrifice anything in our life to reconcile with God

May God bless you with these words

Why burn Quran ? God is love and we are called to love each other

Why burn Quran ? Is it right to burn the Quran and provoke Muslims, Is that the way of Jesus Christ?


What bible says:-

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day…” Eph 6

Instead of declaring war against another religion, can we go the peaceful way to commit ourselves to fasting and prayer…… Why can’t we do that? Cause, we do not wait upon the Lord.



Look what Paul said to Philippians :-



Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.



Do you need the peace of God be with you, please follow what bible says….. If you do something on your own way do not expect the peace of god be with you.

We are living in North America having Muslims and Christians as neighbours; our children studing in public school and they love each other and making friends each other irrespective of the religious background they are.. Why someone need to destroy all these love peace andharmony in our society.

God is love and we are called to love each other….
