“The man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Tim 3:17)
The bible is enough for our journey here on earth. The bible never consult outside sources to interpret itself. The Bible always interpret bible.
When God tells you something negative in the future, is to prepare, to warn you for what is coming.
The gifts of God is free but it is not cheap
Jeremiah 17:5-8 “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his [a]strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not [b]fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Good comes to him all the time but a cursed man can not see it. God is generous and gracious
Geber + Elohim = gabriel
If we touch devil’s stuff, there is a curse.
You can be dumbed and still be blessed better than being smart and under the curse
God make you a blessed man 1.for the glory of Jesus Christ 2.for the greatest good of His people
Blessed is the man who hope is in the Lord and whose trust is in the Lord
Cursed man can not see when good come, good still continues to come.
Blessed man can not see the heat because he is occupied with the altogether one
Heat and green do not go together. things fall off, dry off. Blessed man shall not be careful (be anxious)
Always green and fresh. Those who are withering come around you, find refreshment
A blessed man neither cease from yielding fruits
efrata : fruitfulness. God wants to give you unceasing fruitfulness!!! it does not mean you are not going to heat
This blessings do not come by osmosis.
The cursed man is like a heat in the desert. The blessed man is like tree planted by the water, whose leaf is ever green, never cease from yielding fruits in the year of drought not only when all things are good.
Work is the outcome of effort. fruit is the outflow of life. The works of the flesh , human efforts: adultery, anger, strife.
God wants you to be fruitful than successful. You can be successful but died young. God’s command is to be fruitful and multiply.The story of Joseph is the example of fruitfulness. He was a slave but fruitful.
We are ever green
In the Bible, 11: number of organization, 12: govermental organization
When God organize Israel 12 sons to become tribes, disciple 12.
Too blessed to be stressed
Psalm 1:1-3 talked about counsel of ungodly and world – good but still ungodly. e.g :good at management – do not take their philosophy for your life. they can be good in comedy, but failed in marriage.
It does not mean if someone is good in one area, they are good in every area.
God does not bless someone at your expense. The law of the Lord is perfect, comforting the soul.
The law is the sum total of God’s word. The Law of Moses will give life if you keep all. on the contrary, it ministers death
Psalm 1:1-3, green : ranan – fresh, ranan oil – extra virgin olive oil, light yellow – not pure
Green covenant – new covenant
What are leaves? Rev 22:2 talks about tree of life that has 12 manner of fruits. Bear fruits in its season. Tree of life has 12 types of fruit. Every fruit will not be the same The leaves of the three is for healing of the nations. Healing = medicine, medicine come from trees. Healing in rev is for the nations on earth and not heaven. You can always withdraw, access to the tree of life.
Psalm 1 your health will not fail, your health is ever green, your heart will not fail and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. There is no promise like this in self improvement lesson and God can not lie
No such tree on earth that never wither. God can not lie.
The key is meditate, meditating is equal with trust in the Lord
Praying in the Spirit and meditation
Anything you delight will not lead to legalistic. illustration : you eat everyday is legalism.
Why trust book of man when God gives His book, find truth you can meditate
The key is to trust in the Lord is meditating (hagah)
Hagah = meditate, mutter. grace – camel (transport) -grace. When you meditate, grace come to you, grace upon grace
Hagah: to utter, mutter and to meditate : to speak with oneself, murmuring and in a low voice, as is often done by those who are musing
Joshua 1:8 shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate (hagah), prosperity and good success is always tie up with meditation
How often to meditate? the bible says day and night. When you meditate, rivers of living water being released
Mutter in your mouth, not only in your head. God knows the psychology effect of a human
God will not lie with His promise. When you meditate, healing flows. You will thrive , flourish and prosperous
Joshua 1:8, be strong and courageous and meditate. Joshua had to lead 2-3 million people
Psalm 23, when you struggle to lie down, God will make you lie down
Gods word give you 12 manner of fruit. Fruit is manifestation
Meditate is with your MOUTH because mind can not held it. The word of God is God’s breath, not written by man. God does not waste His breath. It is designed, it has all components of heaven, the breath is imparted to you
Death started by sickness. By simulating God’s breath, you begin to recover. Bible is life
Stories is to minister to your need
The order of day according to God: evening and morning. Our day : morning and evening. J
Josh 1:8 and Psalm 1:1 do not write evening and day but day and night. God was pre empting
Last word in genesis : coffin in egypt, last word of OT : curse and last word of NT : grace
The antidote to curse is grace. Epharim : double fruitfulnesses
Josh 24:29-31 tells the josh’s life at the end. He lived a life of meditation. Josh 110 years old and he was strong and healthy. He lived in Timnanth Serah (portion of the sun or abundant portion)
Josh life:
he lived long, strong and healthy until God took his breath
he lived in the mountain of fruitfulness. he lived in the exclusive area, with abundant portion. Dont ask how but receive
impact God put you in this life so we can bless each other
Josh 24, Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua. His ministry is high impact. All your people serve as long as you are the pastor. May your life holy and powerful impact to people’s live.
be a Joyful mother
Choose : heat in the dessert, don’t see good when come, lost in God’s goodness and you wont see heat
How to trust in the Lord is by meditating God’s words. Even you know the verse, eat again.
Don’t assume you know the scripture, bring it up again. chewing the cud like cow. Pastor gives green grass, you eat at church and meditate. chewing, stop, swallow, chew again
The laws says don’t eat animals that don’t chew the cud and don’t split the hose for people’s health
Don’t eat from the ministry that do not meditate and don’t rightly divide the word, mix laws and grace.
Eat from the clean ministry, refreshed and be blessed. Cows have 4 digestive compartment stomach. back and forth bringing up the food and at the end , cows produce milk
No need to worry how to produce milk, just enjoy God’s words and without realize you feed others and being a blessing to other people. when the right time, the milk will be there
When you wait for something in life, just bring up the words. The quality of your life will be improved, and your mind will be engaged.
Your leaves is ever green because you focus on God’s word. You bear unceasing fruitfulness. Your leaves will never wither, ever fruitful
They sense that in your presence there is life, remember Joseph
Your prosperity inside will manifest outside. Fruitfulness is not by effort, is the result of flow of life
We are trees planted: it is not wild. Jer 17 : tree planted by the water, psalm 1: tree planted by the rivers. See the harvest this year
