PROPHETIC INTERPRETATION OF THE TIMES AND OPPORTUNITIES!
(A Godly writ to all Market-Priests)
- Posted in Devotional
Proverbs 11:26 – The people will curse him who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
The reason most people miss great opportunities is their misinterpretation and miscalculation of opportune time. There’s time for everything. The time to have and time to release.
Our opening scripture reveals that the people will curse him who withholds grain: This brings to mind the seller of grain who is in his opportune season, his season of abundance when every other person looks upto him for survival, but he refuses to sell hoping to manipulate the market and gain much higher price later. Such a selfish person will not only be resisted by God but also cursed by the people. God is an exceptionally generous God; selfishness originates from the fallen nature of man.
This also shows that economic hardship and scarcity are artificially made of persons who yield themselves to the spirit that is driven towards the frustration of mankind and to stiffle the eternal purpose of God. These are people who yield their heart to the spirit of greed and the worship of Mammon. These spirits inspires the principle of the capitalist business practice that creates scarcity in order to increase demands and inflate prices for super gain. This wisdom is not from above; it’s purely sensual, worldly and devilish.
It is a sign of naivety for a kingdom market-priest to be carried away with what looks like market gain and be cheaply recruited as part of these ravaging army of destruction whose obeisance and worship is to Mammon. The wisdom of God clearly reveals here that holding back corn from the market to unjustly raise prices activates the consequence of a curse upon such individuals. And, It does not matter what you think is right or profitable, it only matters what God thinks. God rejects any manipulative business practice that corners a market in a commodity for profits at the expense of others.
Proverbs 11:26 – “The people will curse him who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.”
The other part of our opening scripture reveals exactly God’s expectation of Kingdom Market-Priests in the season of market advantage. It says, “Blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.” The one who does good by providing grain and goods for sale will be blessed by the people. This proverb doesn’t in any way refer to someone who freely gives away grain uncalculatively; but, simply to someone who sells it, making it available at a fair and good price. A business person with an advantage in corn must sell it for reasonable and moderate prices. Especially when you know that the poor depend on it.
The truth is that, you will never lose by being generous, merciful, and kind.
The truth is that if you think like the world thinks, you may think you are hurting yourself by your generosity, No, the wisdom of God is clear in the matter, you are actually helping yourself.
Let’s look at our Lord Jesus Christ? He had a legitimate corner on riches and glory as the only begotten Son of God, but He gave it up to become poor in this world, so anyone can receive the gift of eternal life and riches in glory (Phil 2:5-8; II Cor 8:9). Have you taken a moment to think If Jesus had priced his value, if we would have been able to afford it. Jesus is a perfect example of a Market-Priest.
The principle is spiritual as well as practical. When we distribute instead of hoarding, blessing will rest on our heads.
