Discussion Quotes: ►►Question by Willy Mac on Religion and Social issues: What is the biggest problem In your country?

Answer from Brother Bini:  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE THE FEAR OF THE LORD TO ALL ETHIOPIANS? WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS AND DANGERS OF LACK OF FEAR OF THE LORD IN ETHIOPIA?

Jer 6፡16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the #old paths, where is the good way, and #walk therein, and ye shall find #rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein” 

For enquire, we need to prepare our self to the search of the fathers of former ages, Yes it is time to ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye we shall find rest. b/c God commanded  and let us know all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1Cor 10:11 

(Prov 29:18 [AMP]) Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]—blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.

Behold the vision or the revelation of God preserve the people from perishing, the fear of the Lord is the 1st wisdom, if there is NO fear of God in Ethiopia there is no understanding to depart from all kind of evil actions. If there is NO fear of God in Ethiopia simply the 1st wisdom is not there that means there is a lack of proper knowledge which came from the lack of proper teaching.

2Chr 15:3 now for a long season Israel hath been #without the #true #God, and #without a #teaching #priest, and without #law.

As you all understand It simply means the outcome of a not knowing the Lord situation crates a lawless society doesn’t matter from which ethnics he or she is wherein every man does whatsoever, he or she likes, walking away from God ways, without restrain they become like the sons of Eli were sons of #Belial; because they #knew #not the #Lord. This is why we read in [HEBREW: Belial; without profit, worthlessness; destruction, wickedness, evil, naughty, ungodly (men),wicked.]

(Mal 2:7 [AMP])

For the priest’s lips should guard and keep pure the knowledge [of My law], and the people should seek (inquire for and require) instruction at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.” So God is absolutely necessary essentially, when we talk about “(Hos 4:6 [AMP])My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.”  (Hos. 4: 6), The distress of Ethiopia  is as a result of lack of true proper teaching priest with accurate proper knowledge of the very will and mind of God.

We need to absorbed wisdom from the #old paths that Israel could not have God in their country or in their midst because they lacked a vision of teaching and priests to give the laws of God and what was the outcome of this thru out the land? We are told in God himself NOT the devil, did vex them with all adversity.

2Chr 15 :3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for #God did #vex them with #all #adversity.

So we discovered that when King Jehoshaphat was to bring in reforms, order and true worship in Judah, the first thing he did was strengthened himself against Israel. And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. And he send Leaders and Levites with the book of the Lord to teach the people: “These Leaders, Levites and Priests taught the people in Judah. They took the Book of the Teaching of the LORD and went through all the Towns of Judah and taught the People” 2Chron 17:9 the Teaching of the LORD word bring a society with the fear of the Lord the 1st wisdom was restored, This causing all people to follow the way of our heavenly Father and knowing what to do to please  the Lord of all creations, Always the fear of the Lord causes the difference between the nations the practical applications of the Laws of God to their lives and economic principles.

Notice if there is no fear of the Lord a murderer society exist Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the #fear of #God is not in this #place; and they will #slay me for my wife’s sake.

Jer 2:19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast #forsaken the #Lord thy God, and that #my #fear is not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts.

Num 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for #blood it #defileth the# land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

But when the fear of the Lord is restored in the land the nation dwell in the #land in #safety Lev 25:18 Wherefore ye shall #do my statutes, and #keep #my #judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the #land in #safety

This is my prayer for our nations to all Ethiopians according the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts, May our heavenly Father give us the same spirit the fear of the Lord like the Lord Jesus Christ, to fear the Lord may it bee rest upon all our nations to all Ethiopians all over the world, let it be done, Sobeit! Amen! “Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of … the fear of the Lord;” Brother Binyam T. Alemayehu
