Luke 1:52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

Luke 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

Micah 5:2 "The LORD says, "Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times."

Jeremiah 15:20 And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; And they will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you; For I am with you to save you And deliver you,” says the LORD. The Christian who walks oblivious of the battles around them is blindly dancing their... Continue Reading →
We read about Israel being described as a 'luxuriant vine', whose fruit bearing resulted in an increase in the gap between them and God where they set up altars He disapproved of. (Hosea 10:1-2).Whenever an individual achieves an enviable level of results and fruitfulness, the first thing that suffers is their relationship: first with God,... Continue Reading →
