Sometimes, God gives us resources based on our unique calling and assignment. He has promised to supply our needs not our every whim and want.  For this reason, some people may have more resources than others: more money, houses, equipment and even people. Moses distributed wagons to the heads of the families of Israel; he gave some more and some none. Was God being partial?  Numbers 7:8-9 “And he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible.” The family of Merari received...

Deuteronomy 25:18 “How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary” Our enemy the devil has an attack plan. The Amalekites, the enemy attacked Israel; God’s children and we can learn from this attack. 1. The enemy is aggressive and offensive. He likes to initiate the attack. That’s why you must always be ready to fight the enemy on a spiritual, physical, mental and emotional level. 2. The enemy likes to attack when you are not paying attention.

Genesis 44:12,15 “And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?” Joseph became a governor in Egypt after his brothers sold him into slavery. One day, there was a famine in the land and his brothers came to buy corn from him. He accused them of stealing because one of his cups was found in their bags. He told his brothers a...

Genesis 24:39-40 “And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house” Isaac was unmarried and wanted to marry his dream girl. Abraham his father sent his servant to his country to look for a wife for him. The servant had one little concern; what if this dream girl failed to respond to their marriage proposal? What if...

Jeremiah 8:9 “The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?” There is a difference between the wisdom of this world and the wisdom of God. The wisdom of the world is derived from our senses; “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” In comparison, the wisdom of God is rooted in the word of God and the words of the Holy Spirit.  In the short run, the wisdom of this world looks powerful but over time it fades and pales in comparison with the Word. When we reject the Word of God and...
