DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

By Leave a Comment

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you . . .” Genesis 26:1-16.

No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE – ECONOMIC CRISIS – in your life, you need to know, you are a COVENANT child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of their ways as in the world systems as govern by satan and cohorts, in order for you to MAKE things easier in your doing life and to live godly. Inform yourself that you ARE in the world, but NOT of the world ways of doing life to live godly at the same. For you ARE of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

 Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is to say, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH places or CROOKED roads of your life can be overcome triumphantly. This is by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God  in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus on that subject MATTER concerning you; and this is based on your believe and faith on the WORD, as led by the Blessed Holy Spirit, in order to make and ensure your way to the PROSPERITY and GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you – Joshua 1:8-9; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; Psalms 1:1-3.

Upon the knowledge and understanding in SCRIPTURAL context of God’s WORD to ENSURE you become in God in Christ Jesus, I can say to you today, to be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5.

In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-16, EGYPT stands for one’s STATE of – unbelief, backsliding, famine, economic crisis, hunger, joblessness, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such like. And, as a child of God, it thus means, that you don’t need to FAKE it to make and achieve greatness in LIFE and GODLINESS. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE in God’s WORD and act upon it in the FAITH, and you will BECOME as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he act on his covenant will of God’s WORD concerning him when the opportunity to act on God’s WORD shows up to deal with the economic crisis that almost bewildered him.

If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the WORD of grace and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up – then go and BECOME as you are LED of God by the Holy Spirit in His WORD accordingly – Genesis 26:12-16.

It’s wishes and PRAYERS for you today, that you may experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord APPEARED to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you. 3 Live temporarily [as a resident] in this land and I will be with you and will BLESS and FAVOR you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will ESTABLISH and carry out the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will make your descendants MULTIPLY as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED, 5 because Abraham LISTENED to and OBEYED My voice and [consistently] kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” . . . 12 Then Isaac PLANTED [seed] in that land [as a farmer] and REAPED in the same year a hundred times [as much as he had planted], and the Lord BLESSED and FAVORED him. 13 And the man [Isaac] BECAME great and gained more and more until he BECAME very wealthy and extremely distinguished; 14 he OWNED flocks and herds and a great household [with a number of servants], and the Philistines ENVIED him. 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from here, because you are far too powerful for us.” 17 So Isaac left that region and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-16 Amplified.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS . . . THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE IS AT WORK

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS . . . THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE IS AT WORK: EMPOWER YOUR CHRISTMAS LOVE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AS GOD DID IN CHRIST JESUS!

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

The celebration and commemoration of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth and His redemption cause on earth for all humanity, is what Christmas, and this Christmas in this December, is all about. And the Holy Spirit led and empowered LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, doesn’t DEMAND for LOVE, it rather GIVES and LAVISHES the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus to all and sundry – unreservedly, uncompromisingly and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

And when in THIS CHRISTMAS . . . THIS DECEMBER, the love of God is expressed and empowered by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us to live in the fulness of God’s grace in Christ Jesus [Romans 5:5, 8], you can be sure and certain of that peace of God that flood, guard and garrison one’s hearts without fears and equally transcends, surpasses and passes human love senses knowledge that’s limited in all context of doing life and living godly toward God and toward mankind. [Philippians 4:6-7; 1 John 4:17-18; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; Acts 24:16].

And LIVING and WALKING by the Holy Spirit of love, is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest and demonstrate the characteristics of God’s Love in Christ Jesus – that is how God’s LOVED WORLD answers to an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD questions. And that’s the reason for you to KNOW and EMBRACE the love of God in Christ Jesus, that SURPASSES, TRANSCENDS and PASSES all human senses love knowledge as written.

“That Christ may DWELL in your HEARTS by FAITH; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be ABLE to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW the LOVE of Christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED)  knowledge (FIVE SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19 (Emphasis Mine).

More of God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed up in the Holy writ of 1 Corinthians 13. It’s all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love that’s given to us – for the Holy Spirit is shed and poured in our hearts – the subconscious spirit man, to ensure that we triumph always through LOVE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5, 8; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Peter 1:2-4].

God’s kind of love, is the only way to do life and live through and above the knowledge of the hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness, war and violence that we see today and everywhere between and among – friends, families, relationship, colleagues, community’s, nation’s and the world society at large. God’s love empowered by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, is the only de facto to help us to transcend and surpass the human knowledge-based kind of love, which is of the SENSES – which is, of what we See, Smell, Feel, Taste and Hear respectively. Ephesians 3:16-19.

Living by God’s LOVED WORLD setting, is the ANSWER to the SPHERE and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD TODAY. The genuine LOVE of God that’s empowered by the Holy Spirit is PURE and REFRESHING, hence it’s called – AGAPE LOVE.

Know full well that LOVE is a mystery and not mystical. For God is Love. God is a mystery and not mystical. His LOVE is practicable, liveable, reachable and loveable, for it’s EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us as said severally. [Romans 5:5, 8]. And the Holy Spirit person is a mystery to only them and those who don’t know Him in His Love. For He is the one outworking God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus us, and His LOVE is PURE, TRUE, REFRESHING, REJUVENATING and BLOSSOMING as any other fruit of the Spirit – [Galatians 5:22-23].

And God’s LOVE is beautiful, unquestionable, unspeakable, incomprehensible, impeccable, immeasurable and indescribable; and it is a gracious and graceful GIFT that is shared in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; and it’s GIVEN to us to SHARE alike in Christ Jesus stead. God’s LOVE is genuine and involves laying down ones life for the other to keep it alive and refreshing. [John 13:34-35; John 15:9-14; 1 John 2-4].

LOVE – is the BEAUTIFUL GIFT, given to us to SHARE in grace by faith [Galatians 5:6]. It’s about LOVING GOD FIRST, and LOVING OTHERS in His LOVE, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. More so, because Love in context is powered by the Holy Spirit, you can’t help but for you to keep on keeping on, loving again and again and again . . . without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation with this genuine and truly LOVE to make your love of God in Christ Jesus to be refreshing, liveable, loveable, reachable and practicable – for LOVE is the most EXCELLENT WAY, the gracious and graceful act in DOING LIFE TOGETHER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 12:31].

The greater love of God, is the only genuine LOVE that’s PURE and REFRESHING and called is AGAPE LOVE – the unconditional love. And it transcends and surpasses human SENSE knowledge love by every measure and context as it’s beyond all comprehension.

Therefore I say to you by God’s kind of LOVE – the AGAPE LOVE, which is EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of Love, through God’s WORD, in our human spirit, that you should let your Christmas, this Christmas in this December, to be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit of love.

BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS IN GOD’S LOVE, IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE Holy SPIRIT. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is NOT MADE PERFECT in LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“For God so LOVED THE WORLD that he GAVE his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-17.

“For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth [a]derives its name [God—the first and ultimate Father]. 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of HIS LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] THE LOVE OF CHRIST which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. 20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21 (Amplified).

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”: THE THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THEIR SIDE EFFECTS!

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” (1 Timothy 6:10) (Emphasis Mine).

Money (Finance) is a de facto medium of exchange. On it’s own, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ and to simply say – “THE LOVE OF THE MONEY” itself, that is, the ROOT of ALL EVIL.

Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence that answers and it’s answering man’s QUEST in doing life, especially when diligently, wisely and prudently obtained and expended without prejudice and dissimulation.

However, ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some CAUSES and side EFFECTS especially when obtained by GREED and COVETEOUSNESS.

Herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – THE LOVE OF MONEY – obtained by GREED and COVETOUSNESS:

#1. It causes WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: BUT THE ABUNDANCE OF THE RICH WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12.

“The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; BUT THE FULL STOMACH (GREED) OF THE RICH [WHO HUNGERS FOR EVEN MORE] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12/Amplified.

#2. It causes DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows greediness and covetousness to breed in all forms, thereby create discomfort and unhealthy sphere.

“He that LOVETH SILVER shall not be SATISFIED with SILVER; nor he that LOVETH ABUNDANCE with INCREASE: this is also vanity” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

“He who LOVES MONEY will not be SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who LOVES ABUNDANCE with its GAIN. This too is vanity (emptiness)” Ecclesiastes 5:10/Amplified

#3. It causes TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of set rules and regulations, even the statutory law, in order to get and acquire more at any cost – which many have become accustomed.

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: BUT HE THAT MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.  21 To have respect of persons is not good: FOR FOR A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH hath AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“The TRUSTWORTHY person will get a RICH reward, but A PERSON WHO WANTS QUICK RICHES WILL GET INTO TROUBLE. 21 Showing partiality is never good, YET SOME WILL DO WRONG FOR A MERE PIECE OF BREAD. 22 GREEDY PEOPLE TRY TO GET RICH QUICK but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty” Proverbs 28:20 NLT.

Money is good in itself when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to any and every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind indescribable. With peace of mind one is able to be CONTENTED, live GODLY, and to keep temptation, worry – anxiety and dissatisfaction at bay.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a money lover for a mere self and selfish gratifications at the expense of others, the rule of law, and the decency and order in and for the community.

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” (1 Timothy 6:10) (Emphasis Mine).

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” (Ecclesiastes 10:19).

“If any man teach OTHERWISE, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN. 7 For we brought NOTHING into this world, and it is certain we can CARRY NOTHING OUT” 1 Timothy 6:3-7.

“But if anyone DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN, and especially for those of his HOUSEHOLD, he has DENIED THE FAITH and is WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER” 1 Timothy 5:8/NKJV

“WISDOM is good with an inheritance: and by it there is PROFIT to them that see the sun. 12 FOR WISDOM IS A DEFENCE, AND MONEY IS A DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: STAY AWAY FROM ALL BELIEVERS WHO LIVE IDLE LIVES AND DON’T FOLLOW THE TRADITION THEY RECEIVED FROM US. 7 For you know that you ought to IMITATE us. We were NOT IDLE when we were with you. 8 WE NEVER ACCEPTED FOOD FROM ANYONE WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. We WORKED hard day and night so we would NOT BE A BURDEN to any of you. 9 We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an EXAMPLE to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “THOSE UNWILLING TO WORK WILL NOT GET TO EAT.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are LIVING IDLE LIVES, REFUSING TO WORK AND MEDDLING IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. 12 We COMMAND such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to SETTLE DOWN AND WORK TO EARN THEIR OWN LIVING” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12/NLT

THE “LOVE” OF MONEY

THE “LOVE” OF MONEY: THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THE SIDES EFFECTS!

“For THE LOVE OF MONEY is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1Timothy 6:10 (Emphasis Mine).

MONEY (Finance) is a De FACTO medium of exchange. And MONEY on its merit, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is THE “LOVE” OF MONEY, that is what the ROOT of ALL EVIL thus indicate. Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defense in life, when wisely and prudently expended.

“WISDOM along with an INHERITANCE is good. And an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a protection even as MONEY is a protection, But the [excellent] advantage of KNOWLEDGE is that WISDOM shields and preserves the lives of its possessors” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 (Amplified).

Money is good when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind that’s indescribable and incomprehensible. With peace of mind one is able to be CONTENT and LIVE GODLY, and to keep THE “LOVE” OF MONEY temptation at bay. For GAIN is not GODLINESS but GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is a great gain the Scripture enjoined.

“. . . 6 But GODLINESS actually is a SOURCE of GREAT GAIN when accompanied by CONTENTMENT [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the SUFFICIENCY of God]” 1 Timothy 6:3-6 Amplified.

And in as much as Money is good for the cause already explained, there’s a problem when one falls into the phase and sphere of – ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’. For ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some CAUSES, or rather, SIDES EFFECTS. And herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS to observe, in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – THE “LOVE” OF MONEY:

#1. THE “LOVE” OF MONEY CAUSES WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleeplessness moments, if and when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach (greed) of the rich [who hungers for even more] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12 (Amplified).

#2. THE “LOVE” OF MONEY CAUSES DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows and breed greediness and covetousness –

“He who LOVES MONEY WILL NOT BE SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who loves abundance with its gain. This too is vanity (emptiness)” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

#3. THE “LOVE” OF MONEY CAUSES TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the BREAKING OF RULES, even THE LAW in order to get and acquire more at any cost irrespective of the underlying consequences.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after VAIN persons shall have poverty enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: FOR FOR A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH HATH AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a MONEY LOVER for a mere self and selfish gratifications at – the EXPENSE of others, the  decency and order of the RULE of law, the worth of living good to yourself, to family and to the community and to the nation you service.

“. . . 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, AND TO THE DOCTRINE WHICH IS ACCORDING TO GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:1-6.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD – THERE WOULD BE JOY IN THE CITY OF YOUR BEING!

“. . .4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . .” Acts 8:1-20.

Don’t be Mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – It’s the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST for – yesterday, today and tomorrow.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

We live today in the times of divergence of pendamic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed,  persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds, while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE – for all hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances.

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse or accuse or transfer aggressions to others. And some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have holds over them in their vulnerability.

And what people needs today in the midst of the situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, family and communities; and much more the HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can well out of their darkness as fountains with peace, worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. Hence a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, is of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all.

And a  person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of one’s and or people challenges and circumstances in order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times.

In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City.

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.

I am been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.

PREACH CHRIST – PREACH THE WORD – FOR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE – IS THE POWER, ANSWER AND ANTIDOTE TO THE QUEST, IN ALL HUMAN NEEDS.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE: IS THE ANSWER OF GOD’S LOVED WORLD TO THE SPHERE AND QUESTIONS OF AN EVIL, WICKED AND HATE WORLD TODAY!

Do you have QUESTIONS about the hate, evil, wickedness, murder, violent and more in our world today? There’s an ANSWER. The ANSWER is by ensuring in the midst of the evil and wickedness in the world, that God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, becomes our FUNDAMENTAL and PRINCIPLED guidance in all essence of living godly and doing life.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

And LIVING and WALKING by the Holy Spirit of love, is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest and demonstrate the characteristics of God’s Love in Christ Jesus – that is how God’s LOVED WORLD answers to an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD questions.

God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed in 1 Corinthians 13. It’s all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love given to us – The Holy Spirit is shed and poured in our hearts – the subconscious spirit man to ensure that we triumph always all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Romans 5:5, 8; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Peter 1:2-4.

God’s kind of love, is the only way to do life and live through and above the knowledge of hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness and violence in the world that we see today. God’s love in Christ Jesus helps us to transcend and surpass the human based kind of love, which is of the SENSES – See, Smell, Feel, Taste And Hear. Ephesians 3:16-19.

Living by God’s LOVED WORLD setting, is the ANSWER to the SPHERE and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“For God so LOVED THE WORLD that he GAVE his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE” John 3:16.

“For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth [a]derives its name [God—the first and ultimate Father]. 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of HIS LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] THE LOVE OF CHRIST which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. 20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever.

LIVING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOD

LIVING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOD: GOD’S LOVED WORLD – THE ONLY POSSIBLE ANTIDOTE TO THE HATE AND INJUSTICE WE SEE EVERYDAY!

GOD’S LOVED WORLD IS THE ANTIDOTE TO THE HATE AND INJUSTICE IN THE UNJUST WORLD. AND THE POSSIBLE ANSWER TO ALL THE EVIL AND WICKEDNESS AROUND IS IN GOD’S LOVED WORD . . .IN CHRIST JESUS.

“For God so LOVED the WORLD, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God SENT not his Son into the WORLD to CONDEMN THE WORLD; but that THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is not CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED IN THE NAME of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

In a world full of the UNDOING of others for selfishness, greed, wickedness, evil and such like by some across the board: colleagues, friends, family, community, society and nation in the world, there’s a thirst and hunger for love in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; for an environment where injustice, hatred, evil, selfishness, wickedness and perversions of all sorts exist, what human hearts need is a loving friend and friendship to avert such WICKEDNESS and EVIL as we see daily within our vicinity and abode.

IN GOD’S LOVED WORLD, WE RESPOND BY THE WORD. WE DON’T REACT BY OUR SENSES (FEEL, TASTE, SMELL, FEEL, SEE) TO INJUSTICE, EVIL, WICKEDNESS AND SUCH LIKE, OTHERWISE, WE MAY END UP BEING HURT, HATE, BITTER, UNFORGIVING,  DEPRESSED, FEAR PHOBIA AND SUCH LIKE.

 

God has promised to see you through in LOVE, in His LOVED WORLD from the present EVIL DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD as in the Holy Writ – ‘HOLY ‘BIBLE’, which I term as the – “BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL”. And God has ENSURED and COMMENDED us to the Holy Spirit of love, to make it possible in 24/7, to love too in the face of adverse uncertainty as it’s written:

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

Jesus had made the act to love a COMMAND and not an ADVICE. God will only commend what He commands, therefore let God’s love rule your day as you take on with people. It is in this act of living and walking in God’s love shall you be known as a Follower of Christ, not by religious gimmicks and oblations.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO YOU, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another.  35 By this all will know that you are MY DISCIPLES, if you have LOVE for one another” John 13:34-35.

LET GOD’S LOVE RULE AND REIGN IN AND THROUGH YOU TO – OUR HATE AND EVIL WORLD OF DARKNESS IN GOD’S GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

Every grace and blessings in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“This is my COMMANDMENT, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:12-14.

“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another . . .17 RECOMPENSE TO NO MAN EVIL FOR EVIL. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY HUNGER, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 BE NOT OVERCOME OF EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD” Romans 12:9-21 Emphasis Mine.

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to eat;  and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall REWARD thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I say unto you, THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:38-48.

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

By Leave a Comment

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you . . .” Genesis 26:1-16.

No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE – ECONOMIC CRISIS – in your life, you need to know, you are a COVENANT child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of their ways as in the world systems as govern by Satan and cohorts, in order for you to MAKE things easier in your doing life and to live godly. Inform yourself that you ARE in the world, but NOT of the world ways of doing life to live godly at the same. For you ARE of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

 Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is to say, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH places or CROOKED roads of your life can be overcome triumphantly. This is by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God  in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus on that subject MATTER concerning you; and this is based on your believe and faith on the WORD, as led by the Blessed Holy Spirit, in order to make and ensure your way to the PROSPERITY and GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you – Joshua 1:8-9; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; Psalms 1:1-3.

Upon the knowledge and understanding in SCRIPTURAL context of God’s WORD to ENSURE you become in God in Christ Jesus, I can say to you today, to be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5.

In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-16, EGYPT stands for one’s STATE of – unbelief, backsliding, famine, economic crisis, hunger, joblessness, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such like. And, as a child of God, it thus means, that you don’t need to FAKE it to make and achieve greatness in LIFE and GODLINESS. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE in God’s WORD and act upon it in the FAITH, and you will BECOME as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he act on his covenant will of God’s WORD concerning him when the opportunity to act on God’s WORD shows up to deal with the economic crisis that almost bewildered him.

If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the WORD of grace and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up – then go and BECOME as you are LED of God by the Holy Spirit in His WORD accordingly – Genesis 26:12-16.

It’s wishes and PRAYERS for you today, that you may experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord APPEARED to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you. 3 Live temporarily [as a resident] in this land and I will be with you and will BLESS and FAVOR you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will ESTABLISH and carry out the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will make your descendants MULTIPLY as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED, 5 because Abraham LISTENED to and OBEYED My voice and [consistently] kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” . . . 12 Then Isaac PLANTED [seed] in that land [as a farmer] and REAPED in the same year a hundred times [as much as he had planted], and the Lord BLESSED and FAVORED him. 13 And the man [Isaac] BECAME great and gained more and more until he BECAME very wealthy and extremely distinguished; 14 he OWNED flocks and herds and a great household [with a number of servants], and the Philistines ENVIED him. 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from here, because you are far too powerful for us.” 17 So Isaac left that region and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-16 Amplified.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.
