THE 7 FAT YEARS
SINS IN THE BIBLE
CORRUPT (verdorven) CONVERSATION
EPHESIANS 4: “20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;”
Apostle Paul corrected some things in the Ephesian church by his letter to the church.
He tells the church that if they have heard Christ or about Christ and the way He spoke and lived that they should stop speaking as before, but needed to speak with a new tongue.
Being born again is indeed laying of the old person we were. We need to see different, hear different, our feet have to bring us to different places, but also our tongue should not speak anymore about the deceitful lusts of the world, the enjoyment of the world, because we think different and our desires in our heart are not the same anymore.
The corrupt way of conversation which is sinful can be in the words we used, in the tone we spoke at, the topics we spoke about or the negative way in which we spoke when we still lived a worldly life and were not born again yet.
Jesus taught us something else. He taught us to bring good news, speak life, speak positive, use descent words, correct what is not just, speak with respect, speak the truth which is God’s Word.
From the moment we are born again there is a work laid in our hands: saving people from sin, as Jesus came to do. To waste time in joining in corrupt conversation, which is every conversation that does not lead people to start reconsidering their way of life, especially when we speak to unbelievers, it is sinful.
CAN WE PRAY THAT THE LORD DELIVER US FROM EVERY CORRUPT CONVERSATION OF OUR OLD LIFE, CONCERNING DECEITFUL LUSTS IN JESUS NAME
JEHOVAH FILL MY MOUTH WITH GOOD NEWS, POSITIVE WORDS, DESCENT WORDS, WORDS OF RESPECT, WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT IN JESUS NAME

PROMISES OF GOD
I WILL FIND PLEASURE AND BE GLORIFIED
HAGGAI 1: “1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying, 2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built. 3 Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? 5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. 6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord. 9 Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. 10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. 12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the Lord. 13 Then spake Haggai the Lord's messenger in the Lord's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord. 14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of hosts, their God, 15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.”
It was during the time that the people of Judah were in captivity in Babylon and Persia for 70 years.
There was a remnant of the people that still was in Judea.
The reason of the captivity was that the people worshiped other gods and had no attention anymore for the God who had brought them out of a worldly life, out of Egypt into the promised land, a heavenly life overflowing with milk and honey.
Instead of presenting their God to the world, to the surrounding nations, to the people in whom’s land they dwelled, they brought the believe, traditions and habits of these people in the temple of the Lord and in their lives and families!
This is what we should watch out for also today, that we do not bring the world in the church, the place where we supposed to worship our God, instead of presenting our God unto the us surrounding, unbelieving environment.
This season was marked by all people being busy with their own business. They did not gather anymore in 1 place in unity. Everybody was busy with building their own houses, their own lives, their own projects, but the house of God remained destroyed and empty.
Then the Lord made a promise through His prophet Haggai: “7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.”
There where the Lord had not found pleasure in the people because they had not delighted themselves in Him, THE LORD PROMISED TO FIND PLEASURE AGAIN, IF THE PEOPLE WOULD BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
The building of the house of the Lord has a physical and spiritual aspect, therefore there were also 2 people touched to take up their responsibility; Zerubbabel the governor and Joshua the priest, a physical and spiritual leader.
One was responsible to build the physical temple, while the other was appointed or ordained to build the spiritual temple.
Zerubbabel needed to build the temple with wood and physical stones, while Joshua needed to build the body of Christ, the spiritual temple with the living stones.
If the people would occupy themselves again with these things, if there was a gathering place and the people came back together to worship their God in unity, then the Lord would find pleasure in them and would be glorified through them.
The people in the time of Haggai went through really hard times, but it were hard times they had caused themselves by neglecting their God, abusing the house of the Lord and being busy for themselves. But from the moment their focus was again upon Jehovah and what He wanted, His Spirit was again amongst and upon the people!
Let us also give joy to our God so that our God can also give joy again to us! Let us build the physical and spiritual house of God in unity, agreement, being likeminded and of 1 accord and God promises that He will find pleasure therein … The writer of HEBREWS told us that without faith we cannot please God! Yesterday we spoke about the good news in God’s order.
Can we believe today that when we build the physical and spiritual house and give time for this that God will be pleased with it and be glorified through it, so that what we ask and desire He will also give it with pleasure to us …
The Bible says that the people worked hard for themselves, but could not finish their projects, they drank, but remained thirsty, they ate but remained hungry, they bought nice clothes but still remained cold … nothing could satisfy the people because God was not the center of their life anymore …
Is this also what you experience today? Give pleasure unto God by being an active partaker in building the physical and spiritual church and the Lord will also give pleasure to you!
There is good news in God’s order! We may try to turn things around, but it will not favor us … it was not in the past like that, it is still also not today so. Let us learn from the past instead of stubbornly continue hitting our head against the wall!
I PRAY THAT WE MAY GIVE PLEASURE UNTO THE LORD AS THE CHURCH OF CHRIST, LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY, SO THAT WE MAY ALSO RECEIVE PLEASURE FROM HIM IN JESUS NAME
I PRAY ONCE AGAIN THAT WE WILL NOT CHANGE GOD’s ORDER SO THAT GOOD NEWS MAY BE OUR PORTION IN JESUS NAME

NT-COMMANDMENTS
SPEND TIME IN READING, EXHORTATION AND DOCTRINE
1 TIMOTHY 4: “13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.”
Apostle Paul recommends Timothy to prepare himself. “Till I come, give attendance to …”. Timothy needed to prepare himself by reading, by exhortation and by doctrine.
In his second letter to Timothy apostle Paul also explained why he needed to prepare himself in studying the Word of God, in studying the teachings apostle Paul wrote to him in letters:
2 TIMOTHY 2 “15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Apostle Paul encouraged even commanded to spend his time in reading, being encouraged, in studying God’s Word:
1. So that he would be approved by God
2. So that the work he was going to lay in his hands, he would not fail, he didn’t need to be ashame
3. So that he would preach the Word of God, the life of a Christian, a follower of Christ, in the right way to the church which was going to be given him as a responsibility.
Do you want to be approved by God as a Christian? What should we do if God does not see difference between people?
What should we do? Read, be exhorted by, study the Word of God!
Was it something new that apostle Paul commanded Timothy? At all!
DEUTERONOMY 17: “18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: 20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.”
God commanded the people of Israel already that their future kings should write a copy of the law for themselves and they should read in it every day of their life:
1. So that it would be well with him as a person
2. So that he would fear the Lord in doing all what he had written down
3. So that he might not pride himself over the people he needed to lead
4. So that he would live long and his generations would also sit upon the throne
Are we not called a royal priesthood? Do we want it to be well with us? Do we believe in the Word of God? Do we want to be Christians and also that our next generations are strong in Christ?
Start writing your copy and read what you have written every day, over and over again!
God told Joshua, who was a kind of king, leader, shepherd of God’s people:
JOSHUA 1: “8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
How can the book of the law not depart from our mouth? When we know it! When we have read it! When we have meditated on it!
How can we live according to the law? When we know the law, when we know the Word of God!
The second king of Israel left us this writing
PSALM 1: “2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”
David tells us to find pleasure in the Word of God, in reading the Word of God, in meditating in the Word of God. The previous verse tells us that then we will be blessed. The next verse tells us that we will not lack anything at any moment (we will bear fruit in the right season) and we will live forever (our leaf will not wither).
Are all these promises not what we desire, what we pray for … Apostle Paul told Timothy, God told the people of Israel, Joshua and David told us to read, be exhorted by, study, meditate on the Word of God every day and live according to this Word then all we are used to pray for, automatically, without asking be our portion … SPEND TIME IN READING, BEING EXHORTED BY AND BEING TAUGHT BY THE WORD OF GOD AND APPLY WHAT YOU LEARN AND IT SHALL BE WELL WITH YOU!
May God bless you as you do so!

MIRACLES IN THE BIBLE
THE PLAGUE OF HAIL
EXODUS 9: “13 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Plague number 7 shows once again God’s patience towards Pharaoh, but also towards us, not willing that he should perish but come to repentance!
God wanted Pharaoh to know that there was no other god like Him. Therefore, God sends all His plagues:
1. Upon the heart of Pharaoh, hindering all heart desires of Pharaoh.
2. Upon his servants, so that those helping him, supporting him will be reduced and/or turn against him
3. Upon his people, because a king without people has no use or people who are not satisfied with his reigning, will rebel and turn against him
15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Dead of men is added unto the plagues. Till now the plagues were annoying and irritating, limiting men. But this is new “Thou shalt be cut off from the earth”
16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
God would love it that all men acknowledge Him as the Creator of all existing.
17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
In the beginning Pharaoh did not acknowledge God at all. He saw Moses and Aaron as crazy when they demanded to let the Israelites, his slaves, go.
The Egyptians looked down upon the Israelites. They were shepherd, a lower class of people.
18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
Once again God was going to show that the hail that was going to fall, was not an ordinary manifestation. It was not seen before, it was something extra-ordinary, supernatural.
19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
God gives Pharaoh and his people a choice. He warns them about what is going to happen. Will they believe?
The Word of God which we have available today has also many prophesies, not the least judgement day … but do people believe?
20 He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:21 And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Just as then, today there are people who believe and people who did not believe.
Question: Did it happen what God prophesied?
22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. 23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
Yes, it happened! Just as all the other prophesies God made, they came to pass! Why would the future prophesies not come to pass?
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
God repeats the miracle of separating the people of Israel, showing that it was the previous times not by accident. Therefore it is also today to be counted amongst God’s people.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 28 Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
At first this looks like repentance, but immediately we see that the reason of Pharaoh’s bowing is to be released from the suffering he and his people go through. For the first time Pharaoh acknowledged his sin and the sin of his people.
Pharaoh is ready to lie as much as is needed to be released from the plague: “I will let you go”
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the Lord's. 30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord God.
But we see that Moses already did not believe what Pharaoh said.
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. 32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up. 33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by Moses.”
What do we learn?
Miracles make people not to repent. Just as today people say that they will come to believe if God would do this or that. But this story of Pharaoh shows us that it is not like that: Believe does not come by miracles. Those that are ready to believe do not need miracles, but see in even small things God’s hand.

THE 7 FAT YEARS
THE GOOD NEWS THROUGH BUILDING THE HOUSE OF GOD
2 CHRONICLES 2
1 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdom. 2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. 3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. 4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 5 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. 6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him? 7 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide. 8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, 9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great. 10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. 11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the Lord hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. 12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the Lord, and an house for his kingdom. 13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's, 14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father. 15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants: 16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. 17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. 18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
There is good news in desiring to build the house of the Lord and also work towards it.
1 remark I want to make: The house of the Lord was not everybody building his own church, but was 1 temple in Jerusalem where all the people came to worship God in unity, as 1 nation!
What was the good news?
1. Helpers
When Solomon asked for help to build the house of the Lord to Huram, a friend of David, the man was immediately ready to help.
Thousands of people were provided also as workers.
AS YOU BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, MAY THE LORD PROVIDE YOU HELPERS IN JESUS NAME
2. Provision
There was no lack to build the House of the Lord.
AS YOU BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, MAY THE LORD PROVIDE IN JESUS NAME
3. The ability to build your own house
The helpers and provision were not only for the house of the Lord, but also for Solomon’s own house.
AS YOU BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, MAY THE LORD ALSO PROVIDE FOR YOUR OWN HOUSE IN JESUS NAME
4. A good name
Because Solomon desired to build a house for the Lord, Huram called him a wise son of David.
AS YOU BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, MAY YOU RECEIVE A GOOD NAME NEAR AND FAR IN JESUS NAME
Today I can only recommend someone to be not only a church goer, but a builder of the church so that all this good news also can be your portion in Jesus name

SINS IN THE BIBLE
FATHERS PROVOKING (uitlokken, aanzetten tot) THEIR CHILDREN TO WRATH
EPHESIANS 6: “4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
This verse may bring a lot of controverse in today’s society where God’s word is not at all known and values have changed and are not determined by God, rather by men.
This Bible verse is not standing on its own but is part of a whole teaching concerning the church, marriage and family.
Apostle Paul’s teaching started in EPHESIANS 5 towards the church, the spiritual family. Concluded in verse 21 with the words “Submit one to another”.
From verse 22 apostle Paul continues teaching about marriage till the end of the chapter, to start in EPHESIANS 6 to teach about the family values.
This verse 4 in EPHESIANS is preceded by 3 other verses which can not be separated from each other. Just as a woman should not only submit unto her own husband, but the husband should also love the wife, “Fathers not provoking their children to wrath” cannot be separated from verses 1-3:
“1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.”
These verses are given first, meaning that there is an order. IF children do not obey their parents, dishonor their parents, by living a worldly life, should children then be angry our out of control, when their parents, their father corrects them?
The verse 4 ends with the words “but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord”
If the fathers feed their children with the Word of God and teach them respect for God, should children be provoked by it to get angry?
Obedience and honoring is shown by respecting God’s Word spoken by parents: The obedience and honoring is shown by not doing shameful things which are against the teachings received.
When there is asked to not drink alcohol, to not smoke, to not hang around with friends that provoke sinful behavior, using drugs, wearing indecent clothing, rebel against parents, when there is asked to be home on set times, but also to study instead of playing games and always being busy on the internet … is this provoking children to wrath or is this being concerned about the future of the children?
Do children honor their parents and should they not obey anymore, because they have reached a certain age by which the world sees them as adults, while parents see that they are still children and still have many things to learn and have not any form of responsibility. Are parents provoking their children by pointing out these things.
Can children speak? Yes, but the way of speaking also matters. Should children raise up their voice against their parents because they have a certain level of education while parents might not have?
Should children disrespect the experience parents have? IF parents tell them not to try or do things which they have in past done, but suffered for it. Should children be provoked by it and say “You also did it!”
How can we grow as Christians in our Christianity generation after generation if we have to try everything again what previous generations have done from which they tell us that it is not good!
What is the Father’s provocation? It is teaching children a worldly life through which children have to suffer many things. If children are angry for that, we should understand as Christians that this is wrong, sinful!
Therefore the Bible says also: ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord
IF part 2 of this scripture is fulfilled, then there is no reason for children to be wrath, but they should be grateful to their parents instead of getting angry!
Do Christian values more and more under pressure? Certainly! But should parents, fathers give in to that pressure? At all.
The Bible teaches us that we will progress and be successful when we live according to the Word of God. Wo why should children be angry or even worse when parents want their children to progress, to be successful, to do better as they have done. Is this evil or sin? Is provoking children to have a good life sin or old fashioned? That is what the devil is putting in people’s mind today. Everybody is free and should be able to do as they want … this is what the serpent whispered in the ears of Eve: You are free of God … but did they get better from it? I don’t think so!
Children, youth, let us consider very well before we use scriptures against fathers, against parents believing we can claim right.
At the same time I speak also to spiritual children, who in physical age may have come to the position of adult, but what is your spiritual age?
Apostle Paul told the church: I expected you now to eat meat, but you are still drinking milk. These were physically adults, but spiritually they were still babies! 1 CORINTHIANS 3 “1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?”
Many spiritual children are angry because of the way spiritual parents speak to them, but should they be provoked to anger for it, if their spiritual parents have only but good intentions for them and even know that the current behavior of the spiritual children is not going to profit them in ways of thinking concerning eternity.
Also here spiritual parents want their spiritual children to progress and be successful, but not in the way the world is progressing and successful, but in the way Christ has shown us!
In both cases, physical or spiritual Christian fathers, when they speak and teach God’s Word, children should not be provoked to wrath, but should respect, obey and honor these words and in no way be offended by it.
