Abraham Purchases Machpelah

23 Now Sarah’s life was 127 years—the years of Sarah’s life. 2 Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her.

3 Then Abraham rose from before his dead one and spoke to the sons of Heth saying, 4 “I am an outsider and a sojourner among you. Give me a gravesite among you so that I may bury my dead from before my presence.”5 The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, 6 “Listen to us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our graves. None among us will withhold his grave from you, to bury your dead one.” 7 Then Abraham got up and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth, 8 and spoke with them saying, “If you are of a mind to let me bury my dead from before my presence, listen to me. Plead with Ephron son of Zophar on my behalf, 9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him, that is at the end of his field. At the full price let him give it to me in your midst for a gravesite.”10 Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, all those who enter the gate of his city, saying, 11 “No, my lord, listen to me. The field—I hereby give it to you. Also the cave that is in it—I hereby give it to you. In the eyes of the sons of my people, I hereby give it to you. Bury your dead one.”

 1 Kings 1:1–31

Haftarah

Rivalry for the Throne

1 Now King David was old, advanced in years. Though they covered him with clothes, he could not keep warm. 2 So his servants said to him: “Let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her attend the king and be his nurse; and let her lie by your side, so my lord the king may keep warm.”

3 So they sought for a beautiful girl throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 The girl was very beautiful. So she became the king’s nurse and served him, but the king was not intimate with her.5 Now Adonijah son of Haggith exalted himself, saying: “I’ll be king!” So he prepared for himself chariots, horsemen and 50 men to run before him. 6 His father had not scolded him at any time by asking: “Why have you behaved this way?” He was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.7 So he conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the kohen. Following Adonijah, they supported him. 8 But Zadok the kohen, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei and David’s mighty men, were not on Adonijah’s side. 9 Then Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen and fattened cattle by the stone of Zoheleth[a], which is beside En-rogel, and invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants, 10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or Solomon. 11 But Nathan spoke to Bath-sheba, Solomon’s mother, saying: “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has assumed the kingship—and our lord David doesn’t know it?https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kgs.+1%3A1%E2%80%9331&version=TLV

Matthew 2 : 1 – 23

Wise Men Follow His Star

2 Now after Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, magi from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”[a]

3 When King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had called together all the ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, he began to inquire of them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 So they told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it has been written by the prophet:6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,
    are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a ruler
    who will shepherd My people Israel.’”[b]7 Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the Child. And when you have found Him, bring word back to me so that I may come and worship Him as well.” 9 After listening to the king, they went their way. And behold, the star they had seen in the east went on before them, until it came to rest over the place where the Child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great gladness. 11 And when they came into the house, they saw the Child with His mother Miriam; and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. [c] 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another way.

1 Corinthians 15 : 50 – 57

50 Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and what decays cannot inherit what does not decay. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery:

We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed—
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last shofar.[a]
For the shofar will sound,
and the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we will be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruptibility,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruptibility
and this mortal will have put on immortality,
then shall come to pass the saying that is written:“Death is swallowed up in victory.”[b]
55 “Where, O Death, is your victory?
Where, O Death, is your sting?”[c]56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Torah. 57 But thanks be to God, who keeps giving us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!

Donating Sowing a seed into EagleWings Online Radio

As Christians we have heard it before, especially in the Born-Again, Charismatic and Pentacostal circles.

When you sow a seed in faith the return will be hundredfold.

 

How many people do you know that have sown a seed and didn't receive this back in a Hundredfold, maybe not even in a Tenfold, or Fivefold.

We at EagleWings Online Radio do believe and pray for it that you will sow a seed into our ministry and will receive that Hundredfold return.

But before you do, we would like you to read this article and prepare your heart and yourself to receive this Hundredfold return.

Seeding for the harvest

The Bible teaches us in Genesis 8:22 "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." As long as there is an earth and as long as there are people on the earth the soil will be prepared for seeding and the harvest.

Not to long ago I heard the following story.

There where two farmers, right here in overly Hot and Dry Texas and they where both praying for rain on their farms.

One of the Farmers started to plow that land and he bought the seeds, the other, stayed in his livingroom on his knees. Then the rain came.

Who do you think trusted the Lord for the rain to come?

When we as Christians want to bring in the harvest we are exactly in the same boot. We do need to pray for the rain and prepare to be ready with our seed.

This seeding and the harvest of the crop is exactly what Jesus told us about in Mark 4. When we start praying for the rain so that the seeds will grow, we will be able to expect a Hundredfold return.

The question is where do you sow your seeds, on the wayside, where it will be picked up by the birds, inbetween the rocks, where there is not enough soil to grow, in with the weeds, where it will be smothered, or in solid, good, ripe soil.

When you seed into EagleWings Online Radio we expect that you will be seeding to grow the Kingdom of God.

When you seed from your ministry into ours, you sow a seed to receive that blessing back in a Hundredfold into your ministry.

I personally believe that if you trust God to give you a quick return on your buck, that you are indeed seeding unto the wayside.

Yes we are still happy with your donation, but it is not a seed is it. A seed given in faith is one that builds up on the Kingdom of God.

 The Principle

Every harvest requires seed, when you want corn, you plant corn, when you want potatoes, you plant potatoes. When you seed into a ministry to spread more of the word of God, you will receive more of the word of God. When you seed to support the youth you will receive more of, yes you have the picture. Mark 10:29-30

Faith

The one thing we do need to discuss here is that you do sow your seed in expectation, in faith, in what you believe in, your hundredfold return.

Mark 21:22 reads "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

Mark 4:20 "And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred."

When this is in your heart you know it already, "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."  Mark 7:8

God Bless You and thank you for your donation or seed.
