A MOMENT OF EXCELLENCY IN WISDOM


JOSEPH the son of  ISRAEL


GENESIS CHAPTER 42

Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
7And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
11And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
12And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
13And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
14And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
23And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

Proverbs 15:33

“The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.”

A MOMENT OF EXCELLENCY IN WISDOM

Joseph

Genesis Chapter 39:7-13
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

Ecclesiasticus 11:1

“Wisdom lifteth up the head of him that is of low degree, and maketh him to sit among great men.”

Spotlight on Leadership: SAMUEL



Leader: Samuel the Seer, Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.

Tribe: Levi

Occupation: Judge of Israel, Seer (prophet) of the Most High  

Introductory Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:20 “Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, because I have asked him of the LORD.”

Childhood:  A leader from birth Samuel was born to Elkanah and his wife Hannah. He was a righteous leader, a Nazirite from birth in which he grew long hair, did not drink wine nor any strong drink nor ate moist grapes or dried. No razor came upon his head, he was a holy man according to the Law of the Most High.

He was dedicated to the Most High due to the vow of his mother Hannah. Once barren and desperately wanting a male child with her husband she made this vow declaring if HE would take away the lonesomeness she felt because of the sore provoking of her rival Peninnah (Elkanah’s other wife) who had children; she would give his life to be a man of the God of Israel. Hannah’s fervent prayer to the Father  for a son was so heart felt, she rehearsed it with her lips but made not a sound. Upon ending the prayer she was seen by the Priest Eli who assumed she was drunk asking “How long wilt thou be drunken?” “Put away thy wine from thee!” She replied “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD, Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of belial, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.”  

So Eli blessed her and confirmed her vow. Hannah named their son Samuel to be styled "asked of God.” His parents kept their word by dedicating him to the Lord after he was weaned, and the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.  Samuel was a young child when he began to prophesy, and his first prophetic message was to the Leader of the Nation of Israel……ELI! The Most High charged him to deliver a message to the High Priest; a message so profound that both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle! Eli’s entire household would be cut off and the priesthood was transferred unto the family of Eleazar his near kinsman, but the glory of Samuel increased more and more because the Most High; giving him the opportunity by experience caused his prophesies to come to pass.


Adulthood: Samuel was a man that practiced righteousness in his days of leadership. Like, a true prophet of the Most High he never required or accepted wages, bribes or rewards from his people. During Israel’s feud with the Philistines they took the ark of YHWH, but not before long returning it because the hand of the Lord was sore upon them. When Israel lamented for the Lord it was Samuel our general encouraging Israel in the strength of the Father. He also gave Godly discourse to "Put away the strange gods and serve the Most High only then would HE be faithful to deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”  Israel did so and gather with Samuel to Mizpeh where the Most High disheartened the Philistines with a peculiar noise. Samuel took a stone and set it between the two cities and called the place Ebenezer stating “Here is the place where Elohim has helped us."

Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life and was the last of the ruling judges. Though extremely displeased at the request of Israel wanting a King, Samuel inquired of the Lord about this matter and when instructed gave with due warning from the Lord of the things that would come to pass anointed Saul son of Kish to be the first king of Israel. ....

Israel’s desire for a king can somewhat be attributed to Samuel’s arbitrary decision to make his sons judges over the people. Joel and Abiah walked not in Samuels’ ways but were lead astray by the very thing their father detested.  Even though Samuel love Saul like his own son he also failed the task of following the commands of the Almighty!


Death: Samuel’s death was a great time of mourning and lamenting in the nation of Israel. He fulfilled all his days as a Nazarite in obedience to the Creator. He was buried in his house in Ramah a city in Ephraim.

"Sabbath 101"



Shalom, I pray this article finds everyone in good spirits. I wanted to take a moment to deal with the many questions that are asked by newly repented Israelites about the Sabbath and also deal with confusion as it pertains to doctrines that concern the Sabbath.
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." ~ Exodus 20:8
Remember
zakar  (zaw-kar')
to mark (so as to be recognized), i.e. to remember; by implication, to mention
the sabbath
shabbath  (shab-bawth')
intermission, i.e (specifically) the Sabbath -- (+ every) sabbath.
day
yowm  (yome)
a day (as the warm hours),
to keep it holy
qadash  (kaw-dash')
to be (causatively, make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally).

We must in our repentance understand that a lot of the things that we would normally do we just CAN NOT do those things anymore. Period!  As a newly repentant Israelite or an Israelite that has known their heritage and laws for some time it is our duty to deal with the scriptures "as they are written" we can not make up things or break the commandments to make our life more in tune with worldliness or to make us more comfortable.  Examples of this include going to see our family or friends on Sabbath that are not repentant well knowing they are cooking, working, and speaking about things that are inappropriate for us to speak about according to the scriptures. We should not be gossiping about other family members reminiscing about our wickedness or anything else that is contrary to sound doctrine. We should not be helping family or friends move, shop or any other thing that is prohibited according to the scripture. We should not be around Israelites that do not keep the laws as they are written.

"Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:"
Exodus 20 :9-10

Question: Is it okay to clean up your house on the Sabbath vacuuming, dish washing (big job), dusting, moping, etc
Answer : NO
If the scripture is telling you to do no servile work therein why would you be cleaning your house (cleaning is servile work)? Now if you spill something on your floor you do not have to wait to the end of the Sabbath to get it up. Use wisdom. To avoid having excessive dishes and cups in the house on the Sabbath purchase paper plates and cups to only be used on the Sabbath. 

Question: Can I and or my family go to the park on Sabbath. 
Answer: Yes
There is nothing wrong with you and your family going to the park on the Sabbath day for a picnic or something of that nature. Be sure to take everything you need with you because you are still prohibited from buying that includes paying for parking or partaking in anything that will cause someone else to have to work to help you or your family on the Sabbath.  For this reason, many Israelites decide to stay home and away from public places on the Sabbaths with the exception Teaching or convocation with other Israelites.



Question: Can married couples engage in sex on the Sabbath?
Answer: Yes & No 
This question comes with a yes and a no. Reason being, a married couple has to decide if they are going to abstain from sex as a couple (see 1st Corinthians 7:5) it is not a one-way street. Isaiah 58:13 is commonly used to say there can be no sex on the Sabbath or anything done that you take pleasure in. Isaiah used the word pleasure and for many this is misinterpreted because with our current degenerative condition sex is what drives many. Our forefathers and mothers were not sex crazed maniacs like many of our people are today. Our forefathers and mothers had different pleasures (see Deuteronomy 14:26). You must examine yourselves to know what you should and should not be doing on the Sabbath in addition to above commandments. Example: It is a pleasure for me to study scriptures so should I stop studying on the Sabbath or I really enjoy eating fruit so should I stop eating fruit as well.  If you keep the script in its proper context It is speaking of buying, cooking, selling. and working. These are things that we take pleasure in that are already prohibited. Also going to school is another thing we abstain from on the Sabbath.  The more you study the scriptures the easier it is to understand what THE FATHER requires of you. Exodus 20:8-10 tells us what can't be done in the Sabbath. Isaiah is saying the same thing he is simply calling the things prohibited in Exodus "pleasures".  Now if sex is one of those things that you seem to stumble on continually embrace THE MOST HIGH GODS Holy
Sabbath to help you. That goes for anything in your life that seems to come before the laws of GOD.


You can not look on the laws of GOD and read them and add your own meaning. The law of the Sabbath is clear. DO NOT tempt THE FATHER because it will not go well for you. 

Question: Do I have to convocate(gather) with other Israelites on the Sabbath?
Answer: YES 
"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an HOLY CONVOCATION; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings." ~Leviticus 23:3

Question: Can I travel on the Sabbath?
Answer: YES
Traveling on the Sabbath is just fine, you do have to convocate but remember, try to stay in a good range where you don't have to stop and by gas or oil or anything like that. Buying is still prohibited.

Now we are aware that some organizations that say they are Israelites put burdens on their congregation members to sit in buildings for 8-12  hours (or more) on the Sabbath.  That is not biblical. Convocation does not have a time stamp on it. This type of burden makes brothers and sisters despise the Sabbaths and this is not good. The leaders of Israel have put many things before our people to cause them to stumble, but in your understanding remember convocation is a holy gathering, and you do not have to sit somewhere 12 hours to keep the law of convocation. Now if you want to be in a place that long that is your choice but, the Sabbath is a day of rest so if you're not getting any rest you may need to evaluate how you observe the Sabbath. If no one is around you try to get online with other believers until someone is in your area.
Question : How many people need to be at a holy convocation
Answer: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." `Matthew 18:20

So Christ says "gathered together in my name"  that means  " gathered under the law"

 Now with that being said if you are the kind of person that doesn't like to be around other Israelites and make every excuse not to convocate on the Sabbath you err not knowing the scriptures as the book of the law says : 
"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" ~Romans 12:10
You must prefer each other and if you don't want to be around each other your spirit is not right. Period! If you have a problem with a brother or sister just let them know. Learn how to resolve problems with each other under the law. Being anti-social isn't going to help you in your walk nor does THE FATHER look favorably on you for it.  Many of our people have had such a bad experience with camps or church or religious organizations that they don't want to gather around Israelites anymore. That is okay that you don't want to be apart of and organization but breaking the Sabbath is not. HOLY CONVOCATION IS A COMMANDMENT.

Though the law of the Sabbath is very straight forward I simply wanted to deal with a few things that seem to cause division in Israel. I hope this helps you in understanding the Sabbath and if there is anything that you don't understand please email us at yhwhsgirlz12@gmail.com or lawlifeschool@gmail.com
