The Sacrifices of Stewards!!!

 

The Sacrifices of Stewards!!!

“And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him, and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses” (Deuteronomy 34: 7-9, KJV).

Moses did not let his anointing go dormant. As the LORD commanded, he passed it on to Joshua, allowing the virtue given to him to pass so that there was no cessation of the promise of God. Joshua picked right up where Moses left off, to confirm and to do the will of the LORD. Virtue is defined as moral excellence, righteousness, and spiritual strength. A Christ-like character and inner power to live in obedience to God’s word.

“And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, in all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, and in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel” (Deuteronomy 34: 10-12, KJV).

Many times our LORD spoke of the hard-heartedness of His people. Saying that they were a stiff-necked people. Not only yet while we were sinners, did He give His life for us, but He gave us the Book of Life. It encompasses what Abraham meant when he said that they have Moses and the prophets. We have this precious Book of Life in our possession. The Book that sustains life. God did not leave any of us on our own. This sustenance overcomes all trials and adversity. With it we will not hunger or thirst.

The most precious commodity given, along with the Holy Spirit who is our Teacher, Comforter, Counselor and Advocate (Parakletos), Strengthener and Intercessor, Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Life, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Holy, and so much more. So that we cannot fail, if we follow Him. If we do, we have no excuse because we were not left empty. He gave us all that we need to overcome. All the books in this world combined, are not as valuable as this one Book. And we are out here looking for someone to spoon-feed us and/or allowing it to sit unopened as a centerpiece, instead of immersing ourselves in it. Instead of looking to the Holy Spirit for guidance.

THE BIBLE IS THE BOOK OF LIFE!!! “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20: 12-13, KJV). Do you understand yet? The BIBLE is the Standard. The BIBLE is the Book of Life. And we will be judged by it according to our works, words, and the thoughts and intents of our hearts.

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

 When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Why Jesus Put Away Distractors!!!

Why Jesus Put Away Distractors!!! Many may not believe this, but the atmosphere is a determinant to the outcome for any situation. The Holy Spirit and prayer brings peace and success in all things. Years ago, and even now, I have had many times when I would ask colleagues for help, and they would say “Okay” and then just keep fraternizing with one another as if I wasn’t there. Then the LORD would speak to my spirit, annoyed with their behavior saying, “You don’t need them. We will figure it out together”. And when we accomplished the task, these same nurses would look shocked and appalled. Teamwork is critical in healthcare. Brainstorming, collaboration, and critical thinking is vital. Particularly in emergent situations. But what I have noticed is that many believe that they can damage your esteem or make you feel less than by ignoring your very presence. This may be done throughout a hierarchy. But it only speaks to their psyches. Or they have a compensity to want to make you feel th...

The Power of Prayer!!!

  The Power of Prayer!!! This evening, I found out that someone that I cared for on many occasions had died. It broke my heart because she was critically injured during an altercation, and no one said anything to me about it until it was too late. She hung on for a few days after but succumbed to her injury. The LORD spoke to my spirit that she was given time to allow someone the opportunity to intercede for her. It is what hurt me more than anything. In the past I remember two performers, Gregory Hines and Luther Vandross who were sick around the same time. The former whose illness was kept a secret, and the latter, who had loved ones ask the public to pray for him. Luther Vandross recovered and survived for two more years while Gregory Hines died in the self-same year of 2003. And as both of these individuals were being discussed, it was made clear that this was the result of the power of prayer. And I never forgot this because I knew that this was of God. Death is final. And if ...
