PERISHING IN A GOOD LAND?
By Prophetess B.N Bondera
(12) “But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you and if you intermarry with them and associate with them, (13) then you may be sure that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land, which the LORD your God has given you. (Joshua 23:12-13)
God of Israel is a jealous God. Right from the Book of Exodus; God commanded Israel not to have any other god in whatever manner. It was loud and clear but Israel failed at the same very hour when Moses was in the mountain with God. It was Aaron who made an idol (god) casted in the shape of a calf. God was angry with Israel had it not been for Moses, God wanted to wipe all of them and start with Moses.
Brethren, no matter you’re in the land of milk and honey as long as you break God’s commandments you will end up perishing in the good land. The last part of the Book of Revelation 3:1reads.
“I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.”
Most people in the good land appears as if they’re alive (everything is firing) yet they’re dead. You appear as if all is well but it is not. Check your life, well as long as there’s intermarrying with “forbidden nations”; serving and worshipping other gods you’re under a trap. You might have a good job, but as long as you are disobeying God that job may become a whip on your back. Make it your aim to keep the policies “God’s covenant” of the land for you to enjoy the good land.
