Welcome to Ning

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

  • #But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into parts of Galilee: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. Matt. 2:22,23

    Joseph found out that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, so he was afraid to go there: notwithstanding he was warned in a dream to turn aside into parts of Galilee. So he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: so it was fulfilled as spoken by the prophets he shall be called a Nazarene. Thus there would be someone good to come out of Nazareth; so thank God for Jesus Christ the Nazarene.

  • #But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. And he arose and took the young child and his mother and came into the land of Israel. Matt. 2:19-21

    Joseph is visited by the angel of the Lord in a dream to tell him that those who sought to kill the child are dead. So Joseph obeys and arises to take the child and his mother to the land of Israel. This Christmas Season, be sensitive to your dreams for God still speaks to us in dreams and they can warn us of impending peril. May the Lord give sweet dreams to you this Christmas Season and praise God that Jesus is the reason for our joy.

  • #Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth and sent forth and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time when he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted, because they are not. Matt. 2:16-18

    What Herod did was exceedingly wicked and he will be judged severely for killing all those innocent children by God in the Lake of Fire. All of the children are in heaven in the presence of God and we will see them when we all get to heaven. Let everyone learn that if anyone harms one of the little ones that believe in Jesus, it was better than a millstone be hung around his neck and he is thrown in the ocean. Thank God that Joseph obeyed the angel of the Lord and saved the Baby Jesus from Satan's attempt to kill the Lord Jesus and destroy the plan of God. Great is our God and worthy of all our praises.

     

  • #And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying out of Egypt have I called my son. Matt:2:12-15

    God moves in his providence to save the Lord Jesus from Herod's slaughter by warning the wise men in a dream not to tell him where the Baby was, and then Joseph in a dream to flee with the child and Mary into Egypt. So it was there where we get the comparison of Joseph and Jesus were both called out of Egypt to flee persecution. Joseph the persecution of his brothers and Jesus the slaughter of Herod. What a mighty God we serve and he still speaks to us in visions and dreams. An old man will dream dreams and young men will have visions that come from the Holy Spirit. 

  • #When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Matt. 2:10

    The Magi when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy, and they worshipped the Baby Jesus with three gifts. Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. These are the gifts worthy for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We can rejoice this Christmas Season, for the Savoir has come and paved the way for us to have direct access to the Father in heaven. Abba Father is a daddy in Aramaic language. So if you want to connect with your daddy, then thank God because he has sent his Son into the world to save us from our sins. Now we are accepted in the Beloved.

  • #I shall see him, but not now:  I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel and shall smite the corners of Moab and destroy all the children of Sheth. Num. 24;17

    The prophecy of the Star was given in the Old Testament and that is what guided the wise men to the Baby Jesus. Thank God for the promise of the Savoir as in Gen. 3:15 the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent was given 4000 years before it was fulfilled by the Virgin Mary. Satan has been trying to stop the plan of God from being accomplished, but God in his providence would protect the Baby Jesus from the wicked Herod. We praise God for his faithfulness and all the promises of God are yes, and we say Amen to the glory of God.

  • #Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him. Matt. 2:1,2

    The Magi saw the star in the east and followed it all the way to Bethlehem and the Baby Jesus was about two years old at this time. It was the providential will of God for him to be that age and they wanted to worship him as well as give gifts unto him. Yet Herod the king wanted to kill the Baby, so God would give the Magi special warning not to tell Herod where the Baby Jesus was. It would be prophesied that Joseph and Mary would take the Lord Jesus to Egypt to escape Herod. Wise men still seek him and we must be careful today as Satan is still trying to thwart the will of God by hindering the worship of Jesus at Christmas. Many use the sign Xmas, which means a Christless Christmas. Let us worship Jesus Christ and give him the glory that he alone deserves.

  • #Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him and took him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name JESUS. Matt. 1:24,25

    They shall call him Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sin. Joseph was obedient to not go into Mary until after the days of her purification. Jesus is the Son of God and the son of a man who went about doing good. So this Christmas season, go about doing good giving the greatest gift, Jesus the Savoir of the world.

  • #And she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now, this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, Matt. 1:21,22

    Joseph is so happy now that his wife is the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ and he is the surrogate father in the line of King David that was spoken by the prophet Isaiah who said behold a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son, called Emmanuel, which is God with us. Jesus is with us this Christmas Season and is the reason for our joy. So as you sing joy to the world the Lord has come, rejoice that Joseph was faithful to obey the angel of the Lord.

  • #But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Matt. 1:20

    Joseph was preparing to divorce Mary privately, but the Lord sent the angel of the Lord to him in a dream to testify to the fact that the baby that was conceived in Mary was of the Holy Ghost. Joseph was happy to take Mary as his wife after the epiphany of the angel of the Lord. We too can believe the virgin birth which proves that Jesus was very God of God and man of man in the postmitotic union.
