The Memorial Parsha of Jesus Christ's Vayigash

Sabbath, Saturday, December 16, 2017. Genesis 44:18-47:27

Bar'chu et Adonai ham'rorach! BaruchAdonai hav'vorach l'olam va-ed!

Praise Adonai, to whom praise is due forever! Praise be Adonai to who Praise is due, now and forever.

As an Apostle, what does it mean to be given to the Church? Its like actually being transformed from Jacob to Israel. You strive with God. Your time, your efforts, of exalting God before the church; edifying the saints; exhorting the church; and evangelizing the world in the reconciliation to God's gospel: the word of God.

So what if you feel like you are in the wrong family. Then don't be fooled God will condemn those who portray something that they are not (Revelations 3:8). Jesus gave Peter the key to the church, this is a door that has been open that no man can shut. If you are in a church that is cold/warm, then God does not have a need for it.... He will judge it and discard it (Revelations 3:15-16). God has a door, the apostle has the keys to the church, so you can leave. I mean God is talking about the reasons you thought that the door was open, is not based on membership or exclusivity or entitlement issues; but that you turned your back on the Church, is an abomination and apostasy. You absolutely got to feed the flock, of the Church. Remember, this is a season of false prophets. So you should be working really hard to endure and overcome all that you were taught. By doing that God wants you to come out from under these people and embrace healing, through a five fold ministry. I have seen people walk away from the church to hang out with the unsaved - even denying their self healing through the power of God that is in you. In Matthew 19:16, Jesus forbid people despising healing and said, "suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."

Parsha Vayagash

This year, I will be visiting church's every chance that I get. I expect you to take the challenge, just like I have taken the challenge and to be even more committed: on fire for God. It's not really hard, all you have to do is get and seek the word of God: the spirit of Truth; and then you are more than already there....

As for truth, I am sure that there are more than one black persons related to the royal families of Europe that can go from my royal family to another royal family. Though my family is not a monarch, which means we don't have land in Scotland. I am not the first Black person admitted into a royal family - that is disposed from the land in Scotland. As a matter of fact, I am still researching to see if I was ever a member of Egyptian Royalty of Cherokee Royalty, because we felt the need to oblige the removal of ourselves from the land that was once hours.

Now lets get on to the lesson as it pertains to the comments/commentary as above referenced:
Joseph shows his emotions, while revealing his identity among his brothers. (Genesis 48:18). This must be particularly hard when you are discarded and enslaved. Eventually Jacob finds out that his son Joseph is not dead, and is excited to see his son. There must of have been seventy souls, that went down to Egypt. Just in time because the economy had failed. Jesus sent out 70 people to evangelize but in the end, around Pentecost - there were less than twelve disciples. The hurt, discouragement and anguish one goes through when giving their-all to God and for God; but we can do nothing without God.

I often wonder is the need to feel that freedom of Benjamin was more important that preventing the abduction and apprehension of Joseph, a priority? After all, Joseph knew he was chosen by God to do great things, he already proved himself by 1) discerning dreams; and 2) and a tender to the Shepherds Flock. Yet, David is an eternal throne, the lion of Judah who was the very one to sell Joseph. So you may be saying you either can or can not relate to familial issues from blended families such as but not limited to divorce; foster care; adoption; or other forms of familial rejection - that may be due to the root cause of social injustice issues such as but not limited to slavery or the removal of your land

In this lesson, I take away with the fact that nothing can separate me from the love of God: not poverty; not war; no loss of want; no less affection from my desired mate; not rejection from a child; not even being neglected by family members; not even being treated indifferently by my biological father.

Most importantly, I have learned that when you do have cousins or any family member that doesn't like you, then you shall watch your back because of their witchcraft; greed; contempt; and wiles of the devil - their yield to the flesh will distress you and cause you harm; but without the truth, the word of God, you will not be clothed in righteousness, have the grace of God: his joy and peace to withstand the hour of temptation. (Revelations 3:14-22)
