HERE PROVERBS 15:25-27
Prov 15:25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
Prov 15:27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
I have chosen these verses today because we see a lot of this going on today. The LORD will destroy the house of the proud and He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house, the first part of these verses go together the proud and greedy, most people that are proud are also greedy they take pride in the money. We see this in preachers today let’s say that Corey was offered $3000 dollars to preach but the message is not the truth those people are trying to pay Corey to preach the thoughts of the wicked that would be an abomination to The LORD. There are preachers that will do it, that would be greedy gain and prideful. The prideful magnify themselves, they bid defiance to GOD above us and trample on all around them, they do it for greedy gain. This also destroys the house to, being there home and the church house. It is nothing but blood money just like Judas. The same thing happened in Joshua with Achan:
Jos 7:11-12 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
We see how he stole from the LORD in these verses they put it among their stuff, GOD says to destroy the accursed, the same as abomination to the LORD.
Jos 7:24-25 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
I think that I will do it GODs way greed and pride is not worth the cost. We see how they lost their house and all their family to, that’s what happens today just like 5000 years ago and we think we are smarter now days don’t see much difference still sinners. The second half of the verses: but he will establish the border of the widow, but he that hateth gifts shall live. Do you guys see the black and white in all these verses notice that there is no gray area in them? It brings GOD glory to protect the widows and the weak. Widows are not able to defend them self’s and that is why it is our job to look after them, back to the preacher that don’t take the bribe and money for their gain GOD blesses their family and they are righteous before the LORD.
Deu 10:17-18 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
Isa 33:15-16 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
I thank GOD that Pastor Corey is a preacher of the pure Word of GOD. Like it says in the second half of verse 26.
Sorry for using you brother as a example but you are the only preacher I know, at least we will know if you read these or not! LOL
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
