A Policy Of Honesty!


'A Policy Of Honesty.'
Genesis 33:19.
a)  For 100 pieces of silver
b)  Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor,
c)  The father of Shechem
d)  The land he camped on.
(This QT reveals A Policy Of Honesty in Jacob's life at that time)
PRAY: That we will be principled people with A Policy Of Honesty.

'A Clear Difference.'
John 3:6. 
a)  That which is born of the flesh
b)  Is flesh,
c)  And that which is born of the (Holy) Spirit
d)  Is spirit. 
(Through this Second one I can see A Clear Difference)
PRAY: To have a clear understanding and confidence that personally you are born of the Holy Spirit. {Jesus our Lord used the Words: "Born Again"}

When we are family, or 'family of God' we can, and should, be free to live as a family but, if we are just living on someone's land, we should be able to pay for it unless the land owner has invited us to be there (even then there needs to be some kind of contract). 
This applies very much to people involved in 'mission', having God's Provision does not necessarily mean that there is no need to pay for it, unless the person responsible tells us, with contract, or by agreement, that there is no need to pay. 

The Christian Life!

'The Christian Life.' a)  Deuteronomy 7:11. Keep the Word of  God. b)  Deuteronomy  7:12. Listen to the Word of God. c)  Deuteronomy...
