Today @ 11:54p.m is the full moon.
- The moon is a celestial body made up of a luminous substance that absorbs light from the sun during the day and emits this light at night. Satanic and demonic activities especially the worship of the host of heaven are heightened at full moon. God forbids this. (Deut 4:19; 17:3). Many do these activities because they are looking for supernatural power to overcome various physical challenges.
- At full moon, the part of the moon presented to the sun for sunlight, fully emits the light received as light to the earth at night.
- Similarly, when the spirit of man is presented to the Lord, it absorbs spiritual light from the Lord God who is the source of light because He is a sun (Ps 84:11a; Mal 4:2a) then he emits the light absorbed in the realm of the spirit to give light to the world that is full of darkness. The more the light you receive from the word, the brighter you will shine.
Do not raise your own enemies through unfaithfulness
Genesis 19:30-38, Ruth 1:1-5
The story of Ruth is the narrative of an Israelite family who journeyed to Moab to flee a severe famine. Both sons of Elimelech and Naomi marry Moabite women. After the death of the husband and both sons, Naomi decided to return to Israel. Studying this account necessitates that we look at the history of Moab. In Genesis 19 we discover that both Moab and Ammon were born out of an incestual relationship between Lots daughters and himself after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. These two nations have a parallel origin in history and are often mentioned together as the cause of Israel’s unfaithfulness to the Lord. It is amazing to see how two nations dedicated to the destruction of Israel were born out of Lot’s sin and consistently fought against Israel throughout their history.
