Jealousy and Murder
And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him (Gen 4:8).
When there were just two brothers on the earth, they could not get along. In the legend story, there were just two cars registered in the state of New Jersey, they had a collision! We have a problem getting along. The transgression that robbed mankind of everlasting life quickly led to the taking of life, murder. Man had taken on the nature of the evil one they had listened to in the Garden. As the Lord said in John 8:44, when He was chastising the Pharisees:
“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.”
Satan\’s purpose on earth is to kill and destroy. He does this through lies. We are told in 1 John 3:8: “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” The Lord came to destroy lies and murder by giving life and revealing the truth. The Lord prayed in John 17:18: “As Thou didst send Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.” It is likewise our purpose while on the earth to destroy these works of the devil by walking in the life and light of the Lord. The Lord promised in Matt 16:18 that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. The life that is in Christ is more powerful than death. The truth that is in Christ is more powerful than any lie. Life and truth will ultimately prevail.
To understand how life and truth will prevail, we must understand the “gates of hell” (see Matt 16:18). Gates are doors, or access points. The gates of hell are doors that hell is using to gain entrance into the world, the church, and even our own lives. The original gate of hell was in the garden. He gained access to the world by convincing the man and woman, who had been given authority over the world, to believe his lies. Once man listened to the devil, because the devil was “a murderer from the beginning” (see John 8:44), it was inevitable for man to become a murderer. The lie that he used to lead to the release of murder was envy, or jealousy.
- The Ramadan being a season of renewal of a covenant, the Muslims endeavor to read 1/30th of the Scripture daily so that they can finish by the end of the Ramadan season.
- The purpose of intensified prayer and Koran quotation during Ramadan is to make decrees, take measures, readjust destinies, exchange their vices with virtues of the ignorant “infidels”.
- Yeshua died for all creation. He already died for so many Moslems who are perishing without receiving His sacrifice. Bring before YHVH the Moslem brethren in your territory Many who are fasting are zealous and desire to do what is right. Pray that there shall occur situations where they will hear and understand this gospel of salvation and the kingdom whether from you or other media.
