By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; (Hebrews 11:24-25) Imagine growing up in a palace, the son of daughter of a rich ruler. Wealth is all around you and the knowledge that anything you want can be bought.

I have a dream… Martin Luther King And Joseph dreamed a dream… (Genesis 37:5) If you were asked, how would you describe the life of Joseph? To me Joseph’s life could have been a roller coaster ride. Constant up’s and downs. For every step that Joseph took forward he seemed to be pushed back several more. Yet one thing that we note of this young man is that in spite of the fact…

And Jacob boiled soup. And Esau came from the field, and he was faint. And Esau said to Jacob, I beg you, Let me eat of the red, this red soup, for I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom. And Jacob said, Sell me your birthright today. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point of dying, and what profit shall this birthright be to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day.

Jacob and Esau – A Tale of Two Men

plainvision — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 07:58:34 +0000

The tale of Jacob and Esau is really about their father Isaac and the legacy that can be left when you favour one child over another. It is a legacy that would follow through three generations. Yet this is a story that shows the truth of God’s word when he says: For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says Jehovah (Isaiah 55:8) The bible tells us that in his old…

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air…

Enoch – The Man Who Walked With God

plainvision — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 20:39:36 +0000

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:5-6) And Enoch lived sixty and five…

Anger is an acid that can do more harm To the vessel in which it is stored Than to anything on which it is poured… Mark Twain Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
