VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. The LORD's gifts upon me

"For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil,"

The LORD's gifts are upon me, they are the following:

1. corn - Hebrew word: dagan - increase, grain, wheat

Deuteronomy 8:18 (Amplified Bible)

8:18 But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

2. wine - Hebrew word: tyrosh tyrosh - expulsion, Expulsion - the act of driving out or expelling. (Matthew 18:18) ; grape juice, or your drinks

Matthew 18:18 (Amplified Bible)

18:18 Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven.

1 Corinthians 10:31 (Amplified Bible)

10:31 So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God.

3. oil - Hebrew word: yitshar - anointing, anointed (1 John 2:27)

1 John 2:27 (Amplified Bible)

2:27 But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do].

B. The LORD's increase upon me

"and multiplied her silver and gold,"

The LORD GOD gave me an increase of the following:

1. silver - Hebrew word: keseph - money, price (personal worth)

2. gold - Hebrew word: zahab - fair weather, clear sky (situation always favor you)

Deuteronomy 8:13-18 (Amplified Bible)

8:13 And when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all you have is multiplied,

8:14 Then your [minds and] hearts be lifted up and you forget the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,

8:15 Who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, but Who brought you forth water out of the flinty rock,

8:16 Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.

8:17 And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.

8:18 But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Proverbs 8:18-19 (Amplified Bible)

8:18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God).

8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than refined gold, and my increase than choice silver.

Isaiah 30:21-22 (Amplified Bible)

30:21 And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.

30:22 Then you will defile your carved images overlaid with silver and your molten images plated with gold; you will cast them away as a filthy bloodstained cloth, and you will say to them, Be gone!

Illustration: there are wealthy people that are slaves of their money, they work hard every Sunday to get more, but they never thought about thanking GOD in His house every Sunday, their gold and silver have become their own prison and destruction.

Hosea 8:4 (Amplified Bible)

8:4 They set up kings, but not from Me [therefore without My blessing]; they have made princes or removed them [without consulting Me; therefore], I knew and recognized [them] not. With their silver and their gold they made idols for themselves, that they [the silver and the gold] may be destroyed.

1 Timothy 6:10 (Amplified Bible)

6:10 For the love of money is a root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have been led astray and have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many acute [mental] pangs.

Colossians 3:5 (Amplified Bible)

3:5 So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are the Source of my food, drink and anointing, and You gave me an increase of money and fair weather.
