Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense— they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.   Hosea 7.11

It is a terrible decision when you walk astray from the divine will, because then, you will inevitably fall in the claws of the destroyer. In the spiritual world, there is no neutrality: either you are with the Lord, or under the authority of the kingdom of darkness. If your case is the second, you are more likely to do things that are condemned by the Scriptures. Whoever does what the devil wants inevitably becomes his servant. Have mercy!

The tribe of Joseph was divided into two, and therefore, it could have its blessing doubled. Even having the example of its founder, who was a true servant of God, his descendants didn’t value the faith of their ancestors, and did not enjoy what had been given to them. The name Ephraim was also used to describe the rebellious part of Israel. They belonged to the house of David, who were armed with bow and arrows, and ran before the enemy. They displeased the Lord.

It does not matter if you have been given the necessary weapons; the lack of biblical understanding will make you be like a silly dove. Everything that concerns life and piety has already been given us, and if we seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in first place, we will see that, truly, our Father will give us all remaining things (Mt 6.33). The Lord will never abandon those who trust in Him.

The person that does not seek understanding continues being a beloved son of the Lord; however, due to the lack of such an important characteristic, he enters in sin and loses many things from Him. Decide to be an approved worker, who deals well with the Word of Truth. Then, when the day of adversity comes and you feel week or unable to resist, if you decide to pray, your strength will return.

Whoever does not seek the Most High invokes Egypt – the symbol of sin – and Assyria, where worshipping spirits is a common practice. Now, the wicked do not have the Lord. What do the people who are “obese” with sin can do to those who have already been set free from the kingdom of darkness? What can the worshippers of evil spirits do to rescue the children of the Light? In fact, they can only help themselves – the “Assyrians” and “Egyptians”.

Both Egypt and Assyria are powerful in regards to human matters and evil subjects. However, they do not have the power to help when suffering is caused by the kingdom of darkness. Only those who serve God have the authority to bind anything on earth and in heaven, and loose them here as well and in the spiritual kingdom (Mt 16.19). 

God cares for our lives, so we must have in mind that outside of His orientation, we will only sink in mistakes. He desires us to enjoy the riches of His glory, which are infinitely better than man’s riches. However, unfortunately, many are led by material goods, and therefore, they lose what the Omnipotent can do for them.

In Christ, with love,

God of Truth! We are not and we do not accept to be silly doves, like the people of Ephraim, who were captivated by the fascination of riches, the cares of life, and worldly ambitions. In the time of battle, they ran in despair.

We need understanding to be victorious in the wars that comes against us. We cannot retreat, for we have been equipped by You to make Your Name be respected and glorified in all the Earth. Help us!

Why should we invoke a nation represented by sin, or another, whose mark is witchcraft? The only land that we must seek is the one with God’s promises. Then, even if everything may go wrong, we will get it right!
