What Does That Mean?

Today’s Feast Jan 24, 2015 - Genesis 31 What Does That Mean? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “26 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted." Galatians 6:1 New King James Version (NKJV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Genesis Chapter 31; “Jacob departs secretly. (1-21) Laban pursues Jacob. (23-35) Jacob's complaint of Laban's conduct.(36-42) Their covenant at Galeed. (43-55)” - Matthew Henry Concise As we continue our Feast in Genesis Chapter 31 in this Scripture we see Laban and Jacob part ways, and the rocks are marked (Mizpah) such as a watch tower; “46 Then Jacob said to his brethren, "Gather stones." And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap. 47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed. 48 And Laban said, "This heap is a witness between you and me this day." Therefore its name was called Galeed, 49 also Mizpah, because he said, "May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another.” Genesis 31:46-49 NKJV. Now that is such a nice thing for Laban to say; “The LORD watch between you and me, when we are out of one another’s sight.” Well it certainly sounds nice in fact I’ve heard that Saints quote it in parting company “Mizpah”. How ever Leban was saying to Jacob, I know your a thief God will watch over any business between us when we can’t see each other “MIZPAH”. The next couple of verses plainly bare witness to that; “50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us--see, God is witness between you and me!" 51 Then Laban said to Jacob, "Here is this heap and here is this pillar, which I have placed between you and me. 52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.“ Genesis 31:50-52 NKJV. This is why I always ask that the Holy Spirit to give me understanding as I read God’s Holy Word. Laban was not asking God to take care of Jacob, he was asking God to keep a careful watch on him. “Jeremiah writes that the heart is wicked and tremendously deceitful. The Bible is clear that our innate human desires are thoroughly tainted by sin, and in need of salvation.” Heart wicked – a Christianperspective. This brings me back to Issue Number One, Salvation through the blood of the Lamb. Even the season of our Lord Jesus' birth speaks of salvation for man “and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.”Matthew 2:4-6 NKJV I’m not educated nor am I a Theologian so if I’m mistaken in the Feast please feel free To write mlitew8@gmail.com. I’m looking forward to your input. If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow. Would you like to sleep like a child again? Accept God’s free gift, invite Jesus into your heart. Just say this simple prayer; “Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.“ If you said this prayer inviting Jesus into your heart. Now turning from sin, and seek fellowship just as we do. We worship and fellowship in a Church (group of believers) that strive to measures up to God’s Word. You need a Bible believing body of believers (church) to worship and pray with. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent (turn from sin) and accept Jesus.
