Introduction:

In the books of 1 Kings and Luke, we find powerful narratives that reveal God’s promises, lessons, interpretations, and applications for daily living from a Pentecostal perspective. Through the stories of Naboth’s vineyard, Ahab and Jezebel’s wickedness, and the crucifixion of Jesus, we gain valuable insights into God’s justice, mercy, love, and redemptive plan for humanity.

In 1 Kings 21 and 22, God’s promises, lessons, interpretations, and applications for daily living from a Pentecostal viewpoint can be gleaned as follows:

1. God’s Promise: The Lord is a just God who punishes sin and rewards righteousness (1 Kings 21:19, 22:14). He promises to uphold justice and righteousness in all His dealings with His people.

2. Lesson: The story of Naboth’s vineyard teaches us the importance of integrity, honesty, and faithfulness in our dealings with others (1 Kings 21:1-16). It shows that God detests dishonesty, manipulation, and greed.

3. Interpretation: Through the account of Ahab and Jezebel’s wickedness, we learn that God will hold leaders accountable for their actions and decisions. God’s judgment will come upon those who lead others astray and promote evil (1 Kings 22:34-38).

4. Application: Pentecostals can apply these lessons by striving to live lives of integrity, honesty, and righteousness in all their dealings. They should be vigilant in opposing and exposing corruption, injustice, and immorality in society.

In Luke 23:26-56, Pentecostals can find the following insights:

1. God’s Promise: Jesus, the Son of God, sacrificed Himself on the cross to offer salvation and redemption to all who believe in Him (Luke 23:46). God promises forgiveness, grace, and eternal life to those who put their trust in Jesus.

2. Lesson: The crucifixion of Jesus teaches us about the depth of God’s love, the extent of His mercy, and the power of His sacrifice to atone for our sins. It shows us the importance of humility, obedience, and surrender to God’s will (Luke 23:26-46).

3. Interpretation: The death of Jesus on the cross was a powerful demonstration of God’s victory over sin, death, and the forces of darkness. It fulfilled God’s redemptive plan and opened the way for humanity to be reconciled to God (Luke 23:44-46).

4. Application: Pentecostals can apply these truths by embracing the message of the cross, living in the reality of Christ’s victory, and sharing the good news of salvation with others. They should strive to embody the love, humility, and sacrifice of Jesus in their daily lives.

Overall, these passages from 1 Kings and Luke offer Pentecostals valuable insights into God’s character, His redemptive plan, and the practical implications for Christian living. They serve as a reminder of the importance of faith, obedience, and witnessing to the world the power of God’s love and grace.

Conclusion:

As Pentecostals, we are called to uphold integrity, honesty, and righteousness in our lives, while standing against corruption and injustice. We are reminded of the depth of God’s love, the power of Jesus’ sacrifice, and the victory we have through Christ. Let us embrace these truths, live them out in our daily lives, and share the message of salvation with a world in need of God’s grace and redemption.

3.   2 Kings 4-6, Luke 24:36-53

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Kings%204-6%2CLuke%2024%3A36-53&version=NOG

PN 3). In 2 Kings 4, 5, and 6, we see examples of God’s provision, healing, and protection for His people through the works of Elisha and the miracles performed. In Luke 24:36-53, we witness Jesus appearing to His disciples after His resurrection, promising them the Holy Spirit and commissioning them to be His witnesses.

As Pentecostal believers, we can draw out the following promises from these passages and apply them to our daily lives using the Names of God Bible Translations:

1. Provision: God is our Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Just as God provided for the widow in 2 Kings 4 and Naaman in 2 Kings 5, we can trust that He will provide for all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

Prayer Point: Lord, thank You for Your promise to provide for all my needs. Help me to trust in Your provision and not lean on my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).

2. Healing: God is our Jehovah Rapha, our Healer. Just as Elisha healed Naaman of his leprosy in 2 Kings 5, we can trust in God’s healing power for our physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments.

Prayer Point: Father, I thank You for Your promise of healing. I ask for Your touch upon my life and the lives of those around me who are in need of healing. May Your healing power flow through us and bring restoration.

3. Protection: God is our Jehovah Nissi, our Banner of protection. In 2 Kings 6, we see how Elisha prayed for his servant’s eyes to be opened to see the army of angels surrounding them for protection. As Pentecostal believers, we can trust in God’s protection and presence in our lives.

Prayer Point: Lord, I thank You for Your promise of protection. Help me to have eyes to see Your angels surrounding me and to trust in Your protection in all circumstances.

4. Power of the Holy Spirit: In Luke 24, Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to empower His disciples for the work of ministry and witness. As Pentecostal believers, we have received the same Promise of the Holy Spirit to guide, empower, and equip us for service.

Prayer Point: Holy Spirit, fill me afresh with Your power and anointing. Guide me in all that I do and empower me to be a bold witness for Christ in my daily life.

May we hold fast to these promises of provision, healing, protection, and the power of the Holy Spirit as Pentecostal believers and walk in faith and obedience to God’s Word each day.

As Pentecostal believers, we can trust in God’s promises of victory in our own battles, knowing that He is with us to overcome all obstacles.

In 2 Kings 14, we read about various kings and their reigns. This passage highlights the importance of leadership and the significance of obeying God’s commandments. As Pentecostal Christians, we are called to lead by example and follow God’s laws diligently, knowing that obedience brings blessings and favour from the Lord.

In John 2, we witness Jesus performing His first miracle at the wedding in Cana, turning water into wine. This miracle demonstrates Jesus’ power and authority over the natural world. As Pentecostal believers, we can draw strength from this passage by trusting in Jesus’ Ability to transform our lives and situations, turning the ordinary into extraordinary through His divine intervention.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Kings%2015-16%2CJohn%203%3A1-18&version=NOG

PN 7). In analysing 2 Kings 15, 16 and John 3:1-18 from a Pentecostal viewpoint and using the Names of God Bible Translation, we can draw upon various promises, interpretations, and principles for practical daily living:

1. God’s Promise of Salvation:

John 3:16-17 (Names of God Bible): “God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world.”

2. God’s Interpretation of Spiritual Rebirth:

John 3:3 (Names of God Bible): “Yeshua replied to Nicodemus, “I can guarantee this truth: No one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above”

3. Practical Living Through Faith:

John 3:18 (Names of God Bible): “Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of God’s only Son.”

4. Understanding God’s Sovereignty and Judgment:

2 Kings 16:3 (Names of God Bible): “He followed the example of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son by burning him alive. Sacrificing children was one of the disgusting things done by the nations that Yahweh had forced out of the Israelites’ way.”

5. Recognizing the Consequences of Sin:

2 Kings 15:16 (Names of God Bible): “Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah, everyone there, and its territory. Because the city didn’t open its gates for him, he attacked it and ripped open all its pregnant women.”

6. Seeking God’s Mercy and Forgiveness:

2 Kings 15:4 (Names of God Bible): “But the illegal places of worship were still not torn down. The people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at these worship sites.”

From these passages, Pentecostals can derive guidance on the importance of faith, obedience, repentance, and seeking God’s salvation through Jesus Christ. These principles can shape their daily living, fostering a deeper relationship with God and a commitment to living out His will in their lives.

LET’S PRAY:

1. “Heavenly Father, just as King Azariah sought Your Guidance and was faithful in carrying out Your Commands, help me to trust in Your Direction for my life. May I remain steadfast in following Your Ways and not be swayed by the temptations of this world. Amen.” (2 Kings 15:3)

3. “Dear God, just as King Ahaz faced challenges and enemies but ultimately found deliverance in You, I ask for Your protection and assistance in my own struggles. Be my shield and my strength, guiding me through difficult times and leading me to victory in You. Amen.” (2 Kings 16:7)

4. “Heavenly Father, as Nicodemus sought the Truth and came to You for answers, I humbly come before You with a seeking heart.
