Shakeable Strongholds

“All your strongholds are fig trees with ripened figs: If they are shaken, They fall into the mouth of the eater.” ‭‭Nahum‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/nam.3.12.nkjv In times of economic, health, and social instability, offer of human assistance is greatly resourceful. Particularly, the favour of God brings people who are capable of influencing a positive change of situation and circumstances in the affairs of those who put their confidence in Him.

The aggression of Nineveh over Judah would never have attracted the attention of God, if anyone of Israel had continue to treat wickedness with kid's gloves. Unity of purpose in life clearly decimates the threshold of wickedness.
