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...

When Your Heart is Hardened (Part One)!!! At the very beginning of the plagues, Pharaoh asked Moses and Aaron for a sign, to prove themselves, and God’s sovereignty. Had he taken heed he would have seen the outcome then. “And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods” (Exodus 7: 10-12, KJV). God demonstrated His authority to Pharaoh and is why these plagues were written. To be passed down from generation to generation. It is why those who continue to ask for a sign, condemn themselves to judgment. Revealing the spirit of rebellion. This is by far, the most exhaustive paradigm ever recorded. “A wicked and adulterou...

When You Are Truly Cursed (Part 2)!!!

When You Are Truly Cursed (Part Two)!!! “If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, to fear and honor with reverence this glorious and awesome name, the LORD your God, then the LORD will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses. Moreover, He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you. Also, the LORD will bring on you every sickness and every plague which is not written in this book of this law, until you are destroyed. “Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, you who were as numerous as the stars of heaven shall be left few in number. It shall come about that just as the LORD delighted over you to make you prosper and multiply, so the LORD will delight over you to bring you to ruin and destruction; and you will be uprooted [violently] from the land which you are entering to possess” ...
