Genesis 9


And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them,

“Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you will be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moves upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hands are they delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives will be meat for you; even as the green herb, I have given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life in it, that is, the blood in it, you must not eat. 5 And surely your blood - of your lives, I will require. At the hand of every beast I will require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man.

6 Whoever sheds man's blood,

by man will his blood be shed:

for in the image of God

He made man.

7 And you, be fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.

8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 “And I, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you, from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11 And I will establish My covenant with you, neither will all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of a flood; neither will there anymore be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12 And God said,

“This is the token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14 And it will come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the clouds. 15 And I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the rainbow will be in the clouds; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.”

17 And God said to Noah,

“This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”

18 And the sons of Noah, that went out of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These are the three sons of Noah, and of them was the whole earth overspread.

20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. 21 And he drank of the wine, and became drunk; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. 25 And he said,

“Cursed be Canaan;

A servant of servants

Will he be to his brothers.”

26 And he said,

“Blessed be the Lord God of Shem;

and Canaan will be his servant.

27 God will enlarge Japheth,

and he will dwell in the tents of Shem;

and Canaan will be his servant.

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty (350) years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty (950) years; and he died.

The Curse of the Thief

I n the middle of audit week, our company accountants decided not to show up. As it turned out, they embezzled some money. What struck me the most was that the people who did it were not strangers; they were like mothers and aunts. We saw them almost every day, smile at them, laugh with them, and made plans together. As part of the management team, we ate out and had a friendly good time. It was heartbreaking to realize that the people in the news for some criminal activity had the same profile as those that I had warm and cuddly relations with. But loyalty goes up. My love for God supersedes any other relationship. I feel sad, yes, but I have no inkling to cover for them. If anything, I am upset because I was this close to them, and yet, clueless. My colleagues and I were mixed emotions. On one hand, we felt betrayed. The suspects were like family. We confided in them and planned activities with them in all sincerity and warmth. But maybe, just maybe, they were truthful and sincere...

Bishopric and Episkopé: The Ministry of Visitation

The KJV word is bishoprick , which is now archaic in spelling. Most Bible translators didn’t use the modern spelling ‘ bishopric,’ and that, for a good reason.   #Acts1v20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: “Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it.”, and, “His bishopric, let another take.”   A quick google search shows that bishopric means: the office or rank of a bishop. ·      a district under a bishop's control; a diocese.   But looking closely at the Greek word, episkopé, reveals a deeper meaning: a visiting, an overseeing [Strong's].   Here's the kicker: bishopric k is not a desk job; it's fieldwork.   An excellent, Spirit-filled bishop or pastor performs the act of visitation. How does one effectively "oversee" a flock? By being with them, by being among them. When God calls one to be a pastor of a people, the expectation is not like that of a manager who stays in the offic...

Genesis 7

And the Lord said to Noah, “Come - you and all your house - into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast, you must take with you by sevens, the male and its female; and of beasts that are not clean by twos, the male and its female. 3 Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and its female, to keep their seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty (40) days and forty (40) nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.” 5 And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. . 6 And Noah was six hundred (600) years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of everything that creeps upon the earth...

Genesis 18

  And the L ORD  appeared to him in the plains of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2  And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground 3  and said, “My Lord , if now I have found favor in your sight, pass not away, I pray you, from your servant. 4  Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree; 5  and I will fetch a morsel of bread and you comfort your hearts. After that, you may pass on, for therefore you have come to your servant.” And they said, “Do so, as you have said.” 6  And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.” 7  And Abraham ran to the herd and fetched a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, and he hastened to have it dr...

The Lord Jesus is my first and foremost Pastor. HE is the Great Shepherd of my soul. HE then leads me to HIS assigned undershepherd for me - my church pastor

 #TrainYourConscience  Heb13:17 Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit. NLT I remain under his pastoral care. I submit to him as to the Lord. I am comforted by the thought of his rod and staff. How I treat him reflects my attitude towards God's leadership. Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay . .

Genesis 13

  And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 2  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3  And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai, 4  to the place of the altar, which he had made    there at the first; and there Abram called on the name of the  Lord . 5  And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6  And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their property and goods were great, so that they could not dwell together. 7  And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle; and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled then in the land. 8  And Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and ...

Acts 5

the king version     But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2  and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.    3  But Peter said, “Ananias, why has [1] Satan filled your [2] heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4  While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own power? Why have [3] you [4] conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied unto men, but unto God.”    5  And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the spirit [5] , and great fear came on all those who [6] heard these things. 6  And the young men arose, wrapped [7] him up, and carried him out, and buried him.    7  And it was about after [8] three hours later [9] when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8  An...

Acts 7

the king version Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?” 2  And he said, “Men, brethren, and fathers, listen! [1] The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, [2]   3  and said unto him, ‘Get [3] out of your country and from your kindred, and come into the land which I shall show you.’ ( Gen. 12:1) 4  Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran; and from there, [4] when his father was dead, He removed him into this land in which [5] you now dwell. 5  And He gave him no [6] inheritance in it — no, not so much as to set his foot on; yet He promised that He would give it to him for a possession and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 6  And God spoke in this way: [7] That his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat [8] them evil for four hundred years. 7  ‘And the nation to whom they ...

Being On God’s Side: The Nonpartisan Obedience And Submission of The Elect

  My choice of candidate is only as good as when I vote. My vote is only as good as when it is counted. But when the tally comes, my choice is irrelevant – God  decides  who is king.   Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. (Romans 13: 1 NASB)   Our future does not depend on the person who gets elected, but on the One who sits on the Throne. If God has already decided, then why do I need to vote? This sounds like the clay who talks back to the Potter, “Why did you make me this way?” [see Romans 9:19-20] Let’s admit it: Though we vote according to our conscience, our conscience is formed by information made available to us. We can only know so much about a candidate, but God knows all things. In choosing, our sense of compatibility and personal preference are at work. We like a certain candidate because we feel that we like something about them, or w...
