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.

#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.
#Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak, but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. I Cor. 14:34-35
Paul is called an atomate teacher of the fact that women are not to usurp men in the church and that they should learn in silence. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. Now having a women's ministry is allowed, as the older women are to teach the younger women how to love their husbands. Let the woman go to her husband if she has a question. So men, we must be Bible teachers at home so that we can teach our wives how to serve the Lord and the Church in the community. Let the husbands dwell with their wives according to knowledge, so that they will know how to answer them when they ask a question.
#Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray in the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing in the spirit and I will sing with the understanding also. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? I Cor. 14:13-16
Paul tells the Corinthians, if they speak in an unknown tongue, to pray that they can interpret it to the edification of the church. When we pray in tongues we are speaking in the spirit to God. It is God who gives us the wisdom to interpret to the church so that all can say Amen to the glory of God. Then Paul thanks God that he speaks in tongues more than ye all, and that is why the Holy Spirit used Paul to teach on this topic more than the other Apostles.
#Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification and exhortation and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interprets, that the church may receive edifying. I Cor. 14:1-5
Paul is challenging the Corinthians to follow after love and to desire spiritual gifts. If you speak in a tongue you should pray that you can interpret for the edifying of the church. The goal is to edify, exhort, and comfort the church to the glory of God. Today in many Pentecostal churches they do not interpret and the body of Christ is not edified. Desire spiritual gifts such as prophesy and follow after love, so that the body of Christ will be nit together in the bond of peace.
