The wise man in proverbs 27:8
Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place
compares the wealth of someone who wanders from his place to the way of birds off from its living nest and the result this is the exposure to a range of wide kinds of evil, some which might be life threatening. It is not very often that people wander from their hiding place at will.
And to start with many people do not even know that there are places that have been appointed for them by the most high God. Some others who know move away quickely unknowingly without them realizing what they are doing. There is what we call a wandering spirit which has a tendency to displace people from the place they are in God. A good way to overcome such spirit is to recognize constituted authorities layed down and be subject to them, especially when of such authorities are aligned with God.
This makes me remember the story of a woman whose teen daughter died in a car accident at midnight. when she was contacted and informed she argued desperately that it could not have been her daughter because both of them went to their distinguishing rooms to sleep the last night and unknowingly to her that her daughter went through the window of her room in the night to go to party with her friends. And she had probably planned to sneak back in the early hours of the next morning before anyone would have woken from sleep.But she never made it back, her mother was the umbrella God provided. But she played disdain to it and paid the costly price of her life. Besides this part of respecting authorities, learn to take a pause SELAH as the Bible says which means pause and think and ask yourself some prominent questions before you proceed on any of such courses of action. when you have any doubt, do not make any move.
he entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. psalm 119:130
The bible should be our guide to having a sensitive and rich spirit. The bible gives us three parts of its scripture that are very vital and important for a safe
and very progressive life of our faith.these are understanding, interpreting, and applying of the scripture. we have to understand that which we read before we have interpret it and interpretation later informs us how to apply the scripture to our time and context.when we read the bible we should take note that not everything is to be applied on a literal bases, It is important for us to note that some things are written not for us to take as a model into our lives but to warn us of severe consequences of some of certain choices. without the full skill of the spirit someone can use the Bible to self destruct. In an illustration of what i am saying. several years ago a man married the 48 th wife and if you think that was a quite strange in this time and age, he said that he got his inspiration from the bible the man claimed that to marry many wives was foresaid by God, and his model to this act was king solomon. The problem he had here is with his aapplication, we are faced with a case of a man who has taken only the letters and not the spirit of the bible.Solomon had many wives? yes he did but was he approved by God? No as a matter of fact his so many marriages became the cause of his undoing.his later days started the beginning of the end of a united Israel. Jesus said that the letter attitude kills, it is only the spirit and through christ that can give life. when we read the word of God let us depend only on the spirit to bring out the life required.
