Some real good prophetic insight about the coming judgement and shaking of all things that can be shaken. For such a time as this! We live in very exciting days and Jesus is coming soon. The Bible has more to say about this time that we live in than about any other time in the history of mankind. The Day of Man is about to end and the Day of the Lord is at hand! Blow the trumpet for the church, He is drawing near. The Feast of tabernacles is at hand and “of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
BETHLEHEM OR JERUSALEM (Dr. Lalith Mendis)
Bethlehem is where Christ was born & Church began. Bethlehem in every age attracts hostile attention of kings & priest and the neglectful disdain of the innkeepers of the world. They think Bethlehem has no commercial or imperial significance. For God Bethlehem is precious. Bethlehem ‘s competitor is Jerusalem – brash & brainy, political & powerful, religious & ritualistic, economically energetic. That’s where the upward mobile make their pastures. Jerusalem is Political capital. Bethlehem is Spiritual Capital . Where will you invest? Where will you ask your child to cast his lot?We who are called to Bethlehem can find it hard to keep focus on what God thinks is significant. Our peers say Jerusalem is great and run their rat races to get ahead. Digital media say it loud with dazzle. Becoming great in Bethlehem is what David did unseen by all seen only by God. One day he became king. With Christ birth little Bethlehem became famous.
FIVEFOLD FETTERS OF JOSEPH (Dr. Lalith Mendis)
(20) The king sent and set him free; the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
Until this time, it seems as if Joseph’s brothers, Ishmaelites, Potiphar or Prison head was controlling Joseph’s destiny. Yet the Lord was directing Joseph to the place (prison) where he would make contact with a person from the court of Pharaoh.
• Joseph facing the competition and deception of brothers was tied with the parental root of Jacob deceiving Isaac and Rebecca deceiving Laban. Unknown to us our family roots may work against us. Fetters of human love of a doting father who could not see himself less than Joseph – bowing down to him bound Joseph. Father himself did not receive and affirm Joseph’s heavenly oracle. Given to Jacob’s fond affection, Joseph would never have left home. A time has come when true fathers will not be a Saul but recognize the Davids and launch them.
• There are many who once received the multicoloured robe of the Father , now in a pit cast by envious brothers. These are unable to arise beyond the pitfalls of bitterness and walled in Churchianity.
• There are others sold under the slavery of carnal sin of Ishmael in their life . They could not get Ishmael out of them and lost the promise.
There are churches like Lot sitting at the gate of human greatness. There are churches that choose to be in tents like Abraham. God will raise kings from these churches with a kingly anointing to posses their territory. Lot will perish with the world’s Sodom . Yet God gives them a chance to come out. God did not even need 50 or 10. He needed one like Abraham who will walk blamelessly day after day. Gen 17:1.
• There are others who are labouring in the house of Potiphar for their secular career tempted also by Potiphar’s wife. The time has come for them to arise to greater things that God has for them. God will use them to transfer wealth from darkness to the kingdom of light if they can serve God alone rather than trying to serve God and mammon. They will conquer Mammon and Jezebel.
• Yet others have their feet cast into chains in prisons of men . Rev 2:8-11. But the hour has come all circumstances will work together for Joseph’s heaven destined promotion. The feet that had iron fetters will be placed on a golden footstool. The promise to the Church of Smyrna .
