*THE naked TRUTH*

*THE PHARAOH THAT KNOWS (NOT) JOSEPH*

No life was created to be static. No life or creature is. The path of life is a ladder. It could be standing tall, slanting or lying flat. On it struts every creature, up or down, sliding, forward or backward. A few may chose to pause a while, yet motion is innate and near constant.
Movements have been known to make or mar many men, women, youth and children. They have established kingdoms and obliterated many nations. But movement has remained one of God's potent mercenery of empowerment and redemption of His people - be they of the Israeli stock or of the Gentiles.
It was still movement, though painful, that brought the Israelites into Egypt and a movement took them out of it. A different kind of movement landed Joseph in Pharaoh's kingdom and palace. Today, many including Christians long for Pharaohs who know and favour them. Given the option of a choice today, most will prefer being a Governor under Pharaoh than be his Adviser and a Father-figure ... now deemed as less-loaded ! The higher glory here is witnessed in and drawn from Genesis Chapter 45 Verse 8.
As we hustle and bustle in the quest for the cosiness of life, we must remember that there is no permanence when it boils down to the Pharaoh that knows or knows not Joseph. Whether known today and unknown tomorrow or unknown now but known in the future, *the Goal must be Jesus Christ* and love of the other person, not self, just Me and Mine !
Just think of it, not all Josephs will be known of Pharaohs, no matter how desperately some may try or long to. Therefore, long to be known where it matters most (Heaven), by Him Who holds all the keys to all the doors and the Evergreen Checklist - Jesus Christ !

THE naked TRUTH
OUR FOUR FRONT POISON

Always, they alluringly and conspicuously occupy often easily noticeable front rows, though as amicable and innocent partners. Most times very attractive, ab initio, they sweep many off their feet. They constitute the gateway to meaningful or meaningless living. We easily recognise them yet readily ignore their potency and the threats thereof.
A brief visit to the book of James, Chapter 3 Verse 8 reveals an important part of this exposition on the deadliness of the tongue's poison. Every tongue is equally loaded, irrespective of size and age. It takes grace, maturity, wisdom and self-control to detoxify any tongue.
It is beastly, iniquitous, evilly, poisonous, fiery, unruly and deadly; what an ignoble classification the tongue bears.Truth is, the tongue also has its positives and range of goodness. But is 'covert plea' is anchored on the common claim this class harbours other parts we have not been known to give equal- measure battering, in our corrective drive. Talk of the eyes, the ears and the mind !
These four partners have, with the passage of time, become thorns in the flesh of men and women, boys and girls, irrespective of status, education, exposure, wealth and even spirituality (in most cases). Together, they become an admixture producing less of their innateness and more of their morbidness; musleading, provoking, menacing, deceiving and destroying. These four have taken possesion of not just individual members of our homes, businesses, schools, churches and other worship places, but most importantly of thhe fabrics of our lives as a temporal affair, only for this world's record and our earthly benefits. Far from funny is the fact the bigger picture has for sometime now been made to appear a mere lie. As a result, very few now deeply bother about the Kingdom of Heaven and life hereafter.
What men and women, some youths inclusive now do make the awesomeness of God more awesome ! If we could get this low and be***al and distorted on the platform of a single earthly life and after that judgement, what could have played if God, the all-wise Father, were to have given each of us a duplicate life for earthly living ? Supra-mayhem !
So, to what extent have you and I been able to tame one and each of these four front partners in our lives and climes ? Oh, are you being looked at as a fool or out-of-fashion person for daring ? Now, take a sincere and serious self assessment and dig out whether or not you are part of the world's problem or a candidate for God's Kingdom.
But remember, you are neither judged nor condemned, here, even as James admonished. In 4 : 12; there is only one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another ?
So, watch diligently these four poisoning parts and place them always on your checklist, bearing their check marks.
