Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. – Exodus 16:4
Beloved, the Bible says my people, God’s own people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
But then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free and promote you.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
Always remember every opportunity you have to obey God’s words, is set to define you for reward or recompense.
The God of heaven is interested in proving you in particular whether you will fear Him enough and obey Him or whether your profession of having Him as your heavenly Father is empty and you will disobey Him.
Malachi 1:6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
Because God is interested in checking up the status of His Fatherhood over your own life in particular, He proves you to know what you will do with His words.
God will help you in particular. As others in Bible days and even our contemporary time triumphed when they were tested. So you too shall triumph in Jesus name.
Deu 8:2 — Deu 8:3 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
When God was set to give Israel, special bread from heaven, He did it with a test.
It was very unfortunate that Israel failed Him woefully. You shall not fall Him in Jesus name. See it.
Exodus 16:4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Exodus 16:28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Beloved, what the blessed Holy Spirit is revealing to you had been the undoing of some in the Bible days and they had paid dearly and even lost privileges and blessings of God.
On the other hand it had been the making of many and had brought them enviable earthly and eternal blessings too. This shall be your portion in Jesus
Remember the Bible says you should learn from things that happened to others in the time past for your edification and we’ll being.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
1Co 10:11 — 1Co 10:12 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Beloved see those that lost great privileges and blessings for failing the simple test of God, when they were proved. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
1. Adam and Eve.
Gen 2:16 — Gen 2:17 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
You remember what happened. They believed the devil and disobey the simple instructions and their losses were collosal. See it.
Gen 3:23 — Gen 3:24 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
2. King Saul. He and His generation would have enjoyed the kingly position over Israel, but for simple disobedience, he lost it to David.
This shall not be your portion in Jesus name.
1Sa 13:9 — 1Sa 13:14 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
However, see those who yielded to God in wholehearted and prompt obedience.
See how they were favoured with enviable earthly and eternal blessings. This shall be your portion in Jesus name .
Abraham.
Gen 22:1 — Gen 22:3 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Gen 22:11 — Gen 2£2:12 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
Gen 22:15 — Gen 22:18 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
2. Joshua.
Joshua 5:15 And the captain of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
3. Our Lord Jesus Christ. See His exemplary lifestyle of biblical obedience to our Father in heaven.
Luk 22:41 — Luk 22:42 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Phi 2:5 — Phi 2:8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Heb 5:7 — Heb 5:8 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
See His earthly and eternal blessings.
Phi 2:9 — Phi 2:11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Beloved permit me with all humility to talk to you in particular.
You do not need any assumption to know whether you shall be part of the dawning rapture or not. You do not need a seer or prophet to tell you, what will happen when the rapture takes place.
You will know now whether you shall be part of it or not. See what the Bible says.
1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
Beloved, you need not halt between two options. You are sure the rapture is imminent and it shall happen, suddenly.
Certainty of the imminent rapture.
1Th 4:15 — 1Th 4:17 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Jn 14:1 — Jn 14:3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
The suddenness of the event.
1Co 15:51 — 1Co 15:52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
Beloved, you are also aware that after the event, there shall be indescribable and inexplanable sufferings during the great tribulation.
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Amo 5:18 — Amo 5:20 Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
Our Lord whom we are going to be meeting in the air, who knows the truth, through and through, gave His faithful believers, unfailing Panacea to escape the certain to happen gruesome and fearsome great tribulation.
What have you done about it.
Is it not unfortunate that many so called believers globally presently will strictly follow the instructions of the scientist not to catch Corona virus, but will do next to nothing, to do what our Lord said to avoid great tribulation.
It will be painfully unfortunate, if you in particular is cut in this web also.
See the panacea Jesus gave to avoid the great tribulation.
Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
You know you have done nothing about what Jesus said.
It will take obeying the entirety of the scriptures from now till Christ comes to partake in the dawning rapture.
See yourself, you are still languishing in worldliness.
Your restitutions ,you have not done them.
You are still in that assembly where your eternal well-being is not guaranteed.
The second spouse is still in your house, you are living in daily adultery.
You are still busy pursuing ephemeral that you shall not have access to during the great tribulation except you receive the mark of the Antichrist.
You are still giving bribe and receiving bribe.
Which way are you better than Adam or king Saul?
Remember the blessed Holy Spirit had warned you over and over. May the Lord help you in particular to be wise unto salvation in Jesus.
Why will you be buying what you could buy today with the grace of Christ?
Why will you want to buy them with your blood during the great tribulation?
I am persuaded you are going to be wise and do the sayings of Jesus.
Mat 7:24 — Mat 7:27 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Begin to do the needful now, so we will not weep in heaven, looking for you. It shall not be so in Jesus name.
Manna from Heaven – Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; that I may prove them – Exodus 16:4
