II KINGS CHAPTER 7:3 -10
________________________________________

Please read the scripture lesson below:

3. “And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?”


 Sitting still in the mist of adversity wont get you no where.

__________________________________________________


4. “If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.”


 Moving in the direction of your enemy, to defeat him in the Name of the Lord is greater then retreat. Don’t back down! You are more than a conquer. Faith at times involves taking risks!

_________________________________________________


5. “And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.”


 They went into the enemy’s camp, and the enemy had already fled.

_____________________________________________________


6. “For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.”


 God will dispatch a host of angelic angels to fight your enemy for you and win! Your enemy is really scared of you!

__________________________________________________


7. “Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses (donkeys), even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.”


 It’s time to put the enemy in his place, by putting him on the run.

_____________________________________________________


8. “And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.”


 You will eat and drink from the labor of your adversary. He will make your enemy your footstool

____________________________________________________


9. “Then they said one to another, we do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.”


 When God is at work, share it with others to strengthen their faith.

______________________________________________________


10. “So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses (donkey) tied, and the tents as they were.”


 We are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of our testimony.

The Lifestyle of Wealth - Part 1

Wealth is more than money but rather it is a lifestyle that God wants us to walk in daily. These scriptures will empower you to walk in the lifestyle of wealth listed below. Welcome to The Lifestyle of Wealth.


* John 10:10 - “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

Notice how the thief comes to take but God comes to give. Our God is a giving God who has willed and covenanted to give wealth to His people even life and that much more which is eternal

* Luke 10:20 - “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

Notice how the spirits of this world are subject to us as believer and is underneath our authority and then also our name is written in heaven which means our name and wealth is both earthly and heavenly having eternal life.

* Matthew 7:16 - “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”

Notice that God gives the believer permission to inspect the fruit of a person before engaging, yoking, investing, or socializing with comfort with them without being rude or judgmental but rather that you might be guarded in every area of life.

* Eph. 3:17 - “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love.” Also read: Matthew 5:44 & Luke 6:35

Notice that the Lifestyle of Wealth means also that you must be rooted and ground in love always.
Philippians 2:14 - “Do all things without murmurings and disputings:”

Notice that the power of a wealthy lifestyle is when you don’t open your mouth negatively or complain as a believer because God is hearing and others are watching and satan desires to swift you as wheat.

Continue your path of Lifestyle Wealth in the Kingdom!

The Commonwealth of Israel - A Transition of Wealth

Eph 2:12 - That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:



Part 1

CHAPTER 1 - THE PROMISES TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB
THE PROMISES TO ABRAHAM

God first made a national promise in Genesis 12:2, "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and make thy name great..." This promise was made to Abram and is repeated in Genesis 18:18, where he "shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him". This promise is also repeated in Genesis 17:5-6, where God entered into a covenant with Abram and his wife, Sarai, that they would be the parents of a people who would become a multitude or company of nations. To reinforce this promise God changed their names to Abraham and Sarah. Abraham means "father of many nations". The promise reads, "Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham, for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee".


MIRACLE REQUIRED

Remember that at this point Sarah was barren, and past child-bearing age. Abraham had one son, but he was born of Sarah's handmaiden Hagar, and his name was called Ishmael. (Genesis 16:15.) However, the promise had said that the parents of the nation were to be Abraham and Sarah, therefore God had to perform a miracle to fulfil the prophecy. Sarah had laughed at the idea, as the thinking of her natural mind assumed that to have a child at her age was impossible. God is not limited by natural thinking, and in due course Sarah conceived and their son, Isaac, was born. Abraham was then one hundred years old. (Genesis 21:2-6.) Already God was using His supernatural power to cause the plan to come to pass.


PROMISE TO ISAAC

The promises God had made to Abraham were repeated to Isaac. Genesis 22:17-18 records that the angel of the Lord gave the following promise to Abraham concerning his son, "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." The descendants of Isaac were to be a great multitude, a huge nation, and to cause a great blessing to come upon the earth. Those familiar with the story will recognise the reference to Abraham's obedience to God in offering his son as a sacrifice on the altar, and God's provision of a lamb as a sacrifice so that Isaac could be spared. There is also a similarity to the sacrifice of Christ in this. No offering man can make is able to cleanse from sin. Only the perfect Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, could achieve cleansing from sin. The promise said, "and in thy seed", Isaac's descendants. This message of the Gospel was to be taken out so that "all nations of the earth be blessed".


ESAU SELLS BIRTHRIGHT

Isaac married Rebekah (Genesis 25:20). She also was barren, but Isaac sought the Lord and she conceived and bore twins. The Lord said unto her (verse 23), "Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger" The firstborn came out red and was called Esau, and the second was called Jacob (verses 25-26). As young men Esau became a hunter, but Jacob dwelt in tents (verse 27). Because Esau was the elder he was entitled to the birthright promises given to his father Isaac, but he despised the promises and sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of pottage (Genesis 25:32-34).


PROMISES TO JACOB

God repeated the promises to Jacob, the third generation. At Bethel this next heir was told one further point: that in the process of forming the "multitude of nations" his descendants would spread over all the earth. "And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people". (Genesis 28:3.) Then later as he slept he beheld in a dream a ladder stretching to heaven with angels ascending and descending on it. The Lord stood above it and said (verse 14), "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." Note the order of these directions, it is important. The next morning Jacob arose early "and took the stone that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it" (verse 18). Remember this stone, too, it also is important.


JACOB'S NAME CHANGED

In Genesis 35:10-11, the promises to Jacob are further expanded by indicating that from within Jacob's descendants a further independent nation would be formed.
God also changed his name: "Thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but ISRAEL shall be thy name... and God said unto him... a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee". We are now seeing a substantial list of literal promises which had to be fulfilled through the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob / Israel if God's word is to be believed.
