“Completion because of Christ and David” 7
I would like us to focus on the following Words.
I Kings 11:35-36 NKJV:
But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give it to you—ten tribes. And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.
God did not give everything to Jeroboam, but left one tribe to Solomon who had sinned. This is because of the covenant of David.
It is because of David.
“So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.”
”a lamp” in I Kings 11:36 is Jesus.
Jesus was born as a descendant of David.
“may always have a lamp before Me” is so that we can be saved and receive grace because of Jesus.
This was for reaching Jesus.
Solomon prayed beautifully, built a temple, and kings from all over the world sought audience with him and brought various gifts. Solomon prospered in this way, but he did not follow God’s words and was unable to accomplish God’s path.
Jeroboam also took ten tribes and established a nation called Israel, and he was promised that his nation would continue forever, but it was no good.
Humans could not do it.
Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV:
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
It cannot be maintained or followed completely by human effort.
That is why Jesus is needed, and He came.
—7
Let’s take a look about Jeroboam.

“Completion because of Christ and David” 8
Let’s take a look about Jeroboam.
I Kings 11:37-38 NKJV:
So I will take you, and you shall reign over all your heart desires, and you shall be king over Israel. Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
Jeroboam, who had been promised lasting grace, also failed.
People are deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.
So the protection of the house of David was only for one generation.
We will receive eternal grace because of Jesus.
Jeroboam’s mistakes.
There was a temple in Jerusalem, and then the ten tribes have followed him, but he thought they would want to go to Jerusalem to worship.
Jeroboam was worried that his tribes might follow King Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, in Jerusalem, so he made the wrong decision and built another place of worship.
I Kings 12:26-29 NKJV:
And Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom may return to the house of David: If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn back to their Lord, Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah.” Therefore the king asked advice, made two calves of gold, and said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!” And he set up one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
Jeroboam built a temple to stop them from going to Jerusalem. He even made an idol of a molded calf, which provoked the Lord’s wrath in Moses’ time.
He did what he wanted because of human-like worries.
I Kings 12:31 NKJV:
He made shrines on the high places, and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
He even chose the priests from every class of people, not from the tribe of Levi, whom God had chosen.
I Kings 12:33 NKJV:
So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned incense.
He had devised in his own heart and he even ordained a feast.
So they could not be saved because of David.
I would like us to be thankful that we are now receiving grace because of Jesus.
We would have ended up being like Jeroboam or Solomon if we do it on our own strength.
Matthew 6:33 NKJV:
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

“Completion because of Christ and David” 9
Solomon had God appear to him twice, he received wisdom, he ruled his country, and it became the wisest and most powerful country in the world. But he was not able to continue to walk the path of the Lord.
The events of the Old Testament are there to teach us.
Therefore, we must take this (Solomon’s walk) to heart.
It is impossible to live a life without sinning by human strength, but because of Jesus, not because of David, we are the ones who can be forgiven just by confessing our sins, as written in I John 1:9.
Let us seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Solomon and Jeroboam made mistakes and went astray.
We also make mistakes, but if we confess our sins and repent like David, we will be forgiven because of Jesus.
In David’s time, Jesus was not there yet, so he could only live a life of guilt, and he suffered in his later years.
We should be truly thankful that there was genealogy of David that was kept to lead us to Jesus, and Jesus was born, then we were put into that grace.
It is not because of David, but because of Jesus that we are forgiven when we confess our sins.
We should be thankful that because of Jesus we are able to go to heaven.
Humans cannot do the right thing on their own.
We must understand that there are parts of us that are unable to obey the Lord.
However, because we are one with Jesus, we receive God’s holiness, not our own.
There is a possibility that we may become like Solomon or Jeroboam, but because we continue to be one with Jesus, we are considered sinless because of Jesus.

“Completion because of Christ and David” 10 -Final episode-
We have received “the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ,” as stated in Romans 3:22, and we are aware that we are holy of those who can go through the veil to heaven and are one with God, and if we sin, we immediately confess and can always stand before God with our heads held high.
When I was saved, I was filled with joy and everyone told me that I was truly blessed.
At that time, I had already heard God’s voice and was happy that God had chosen me to become a pastor, but when I looked at myself, I felt depressed because I had sinful thoughts and actions.
I didn’t really understand that I was forgiven because of Jesus.
I was a Christian who was cheerful once a year and depressed the rest of the year.
That’s not the case for you and I.
When we believe in Jesus, we became the same as Jesus.
Romans 8:1 NKJV:
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
I would like to be thankful that we have become those who can never be condemned.
It is because of Jesus.
Now that I understand this, I have received God’s righteousness, so even after I have sinned, I can immediately repent and pray at any time and in any situation.
I can tell the spirit of sickness to cast out in the name of Jesus.
This is because of Jesus.
I am grateful for this, remember that I have received this grace, and want to return glory to the Lord.
Thank You Heavenly Father God.
We thank you that each and every one of us has received the grace and blessings that we could never have experienced in the Old Testament.
Therefore, we can have fellowship with You every day in the Bible, in messages, in dreams, in prophecies, and listen to your advice.
Although we cannot correct or revise our path on our own, I thank You that through the Holy Spirit You have given us, we can continue to walk the right path and reach the goal.
Not because of Abraham or David, but because of Jesus, I thank You that we are not people who end up in one generation, but that blessings will reach a thousand generations and are abundant on our families and relatives.
May each one of us enter into increasing blessings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

フィリピンの方の証です。
私の名前はベスです。フィリピン出身です。
私はこの教会(ERM京都聖会)に時々参加しています。
私は先週日曜日、私が以前通っていた教会の礼拝に参加しました。
ある女性の方の隣に座ったのですが、(周りの人が言うに)その方は悪霊に取り憑かれているようでした。
私はただその方の腰に触っただけだったのですが、その後家に帰ると、(私の頭に)3つのできものと、(首回りに)３つの腫れ物が出来ていました。
それはとても痛くて、月曜から、火曜、水曜、木曜、とずっと痛みがありました。
ですが、今日友人からこの聖会のことを聞いて、参加しに来たのです。
私がこの部屋に入った途端、できものや腫れ物の全部が消えてしまいました！！！！
主を褒め称えます。
だから私はこうやって首回りを触っているのです！！！
本当に、主よ感謝します。誉めたたえます！
