I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.  Ecclesiastes 3.14

King Solomon received more wisdom from God than other men. He came to the conclusion that everything the Lord does will last forever. But this logic did not come from his mind, but from the Author of the Holy Scriptures, which is the Holy Spirit. He delivered this revelation to Solomon, so that we know, today, that God’s works are endless and good. Hallelujah!

The Lord does not act like some industrialists, who make their products to be short-lived. God fancies everything, and when He promises us something or makes some statement, He never goes back on it. Divine gifts are also without repentance and, therefore, irrevocable. The man who receives them must take good care of them, because they are perfect for the Creator’s purpose. They do not wither or diminish.

There is a mistake going on around the world with the cultivation of the foods that should keep man healthy until the end of his life. Because of the greed of the producers, who are always looking for higher profits, various pesticides have been added to the crops in order to combat pests. By doing that, they put many people’s lives in danger. How sad!

When there is fear of the Lord in the farmer’s life, he doesn’t add anything to the seed he has planted, and Heaven blesses him with a harvest never seen before. Abraham’s son Isaac, because of the famine in Canaan, left for Egypt. However, when he reached Gerar, God told him not to go down to that country, a symbol of sin (Genesis 26.1-3). The people of that region persecuted him, but by trusting in the Most High, Isaac was blessed.

A similar fact to the act of adding something to the work of the Almighty occurs with those who decide to take away a part of the food that they think is too much. This is not good, and no doubt someone will pay a price they can’t even imagine. The Holy Spirit speaks of this in relation to the Scriptures, in the book of Revelation, to those who add or take away something from them, as we will see in the next paragraph. Unfortunately, many ignore the divine warning.

Near the end of the Bible, we find these harsh terms: For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, that if anyone adds to them, God will bring upon him the plagues that are written in this book (Revelation 22.18). Those who do not take notice do what they want, but be sure that accountability will come here and hereafter.

The person who takes out of the Holy Book what he doesn’t like, believing in the devil, must prepare himself. The Lord declares: “And if anyone takes away any words out of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the Holy City, which are written in this book” (Revelation 22.19).

In Christ, with love,
