Recused Refuge

  “ Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood— Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord! ” Psalms 144 : 11 , 15 NKJV Make no mistakes, the activities of foreigners in any home affairs, society, and system are the initiation and propagation of confusion, rather than the projected care. Unfortunately, foreigners often appear in life and ministry with an undeniable business proposition, enticing invitations to prosperity, promotion, and productivity.

Narrow Natured

  “Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭144:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ By ignorance of the Sovereignty of God, man is capable of doing and undoing the natural workings of system and institutions with self-conceited mindset.

Foreign Falsehood

“Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭144:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/psa.144.11.nkjv The pursuit of career and professional prosperity will be relatively easy, if tutored and guided by honest mentor. The only challenge is the risk of aligning the pursuit in life against the purpose of the Lord. While the Lord leads His followers with utmost sincerity, the divine plan for humanity is often subjected to attack by foreigners, who are aversed to the essence of human existence. Their offers of friendly fellowship represent alternatives to the perfect plan of God in all affairs of life: painless prosperity, priceless partnership, etc. Unfortunately, every alternative to painful pursuit of prosperity and partnership represents a right hand of falsehood. However, God's grace rescues and delivers the faithful followers from the foreign hand of falsehood.
