ROBERT’S OPEN DECLARATION!”
My position in presenting these postings is done not as a pastor, minister, or teacher of God’s words. They are brought forward as messages to be discerned by those receiving them and choosing personally how to react. Scriptural foundation for their delivery Ezekiel 33:9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
It is with great love for all given to me by Yeshua that you are receiving them. Luke 10:16
[16]He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.  And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen

SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION!

Proverbs 23:17 KJV

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

COMMENTARY!

Few consider the  consequences of being blessed by our Lord. This statement brings forward the importance of knowing how to deal with the abundance our Lord bestows upon his children. 

Our Lord’s blessings can be seen in two different lights! As well by two different categories of people. Within this knowledge, we will find several different spiritual consequences, which will make their presence known.

The first category perhaps being, but in reality shouldn’t be, predominant are those within the Ecclesia who do envy the prosperity of sinners. Even knowing that these gains are of short consequence.

So when we look at those in the world, we see the valley of death, full of evil-doers, that flourish and live in ease. We are tempted to fret at this, to think they are the only happy people, and so we are prone to do like them: but this we are warned against.

It becomes important to recognize that God brings abundance and comfort to his obedient children. In a darkened world with lost souls, these gifts can be displayed as an answer to the anguish and despair of those lost souls who may be desiring a way out of Satan’s slavery. Your demonstration and properly placed words could be their ability to see the truth and their path to freedom.

On the other hand, those same lost souls might see only that you are prosperous and begin envying only what you may have and become further bitter towards you and your family.

Proverbs 3:33 KJV
The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

Our business is to observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to be aware of covetousness; to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearing evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be found there is little got by striving. Let us not envy prosperous oppressors; far be it from the disciples of Christ to choose any of their ways.

These truths may be despised by the covetous and luxurious, but everlasting contempt will be the portion of such scorners, while Divine favour is shown to the humble believer.

Proverbs 3:31 KJV
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

We must look upon our teachers as our fathers: though instruction carry in it reproof and correction, bid it welcome. Solomon’s parents loved him, therefore taught him. Wise and godly men, in every age of the world, and rank in society, agree that true wisdom consists in obedience, and is united to happiness.

Get wisdom, take pains for it. Get the rule over thy corruptions; take more pains to get this than the wealth of this world. An interest in Christ’s salvation is necessary. This wisdom is the one thing needful. A soul without true wisdom and grace is a dead soul.

Job 5:2 KJV
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

The term, “saints,” holy, or more strictly, consecrated ones, seems in all ages to have been applied to the people of God, through the Sacrifice slain in the covenant of their reconciliation. Eliphaz doubts not that the sin of sinners directly tends to their ruin. They kill themselves by some lust or other; therefore, no doubt, Job has done some foolish thing, by which he has brought himself into this condition.

The allusion was plain to Job’s former prosperity; but there was no evidence of Job’s wickedness, and the application to him was unfair and severe.

Knowledge of your walk and dedication and obedience to Yeshua and his teachings will place you in the same position as Job, understanding that any tribulations and trials you may face are outside of envy and can be classified as unfair and severe thus rebukable. Job 5:2 KJV
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

Our Lord supplied us with the Holy Spirit who in turn brought forward the gift of discernment so we are able to prevent us from slaying ourselves through the lack of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to accept the spirit of “ENVY”!

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
