Joseph’s Promise to Jacob

28 Now Jacob lived in the land of Egypt for 17 years, so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years. 29 As the time of Israel’s death drew near, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh and show me faithful kindness. Please do not bury me in Egypt. 30 When I lie down with my fathers, you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.”

So he said, “I myself will do according to your word.”31 “Swear to me,” he said. So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed down in worship on the head of his staff.[a]

Blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh

48 After these things, someone told Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” So he took his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, with him. 2 When someone told Jacob, saying, “Behold, your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel summoned his strength and sat up in the bed. 3 Then Jacob said to Joseph, “El Shaddai appeared to me in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blessed me.” 4 He said to me, ‘I am going to make you fruitful and multiply you and turn you into an assembly of peoples, and I will give this land to your seed after you as an everlasting possession.’ 5 So now, your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, they are mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, just like Reuben and Simeon. 6 Any descendent of yours whom you father after them will be yours; they will be identified by the names of their brothers for their inheritance. 7 “Now as for me, when I came from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died along the way, in the land of Canaan, while we were still a distance from entering Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”

David’s Last Instructions

2 Now when the time of David drew near to die, he charged his son Solomon, saying: 2 “I—I am going the way of all the earth. So be strong[a] and be a man. 3 Keep the charge of Adonai your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His decrees, according to what is written in the Torah of Moses, so that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn 4 so that Adonai may fulfill His word which He spoke concerning me, saying: ‘If your children watch their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’

5 “Moreover, you also know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, whom he killed, shedding the blood of war in peacetime, and putting the blood of war on his waistband and on his sandals on his feet. 6 So act according to your wisdom, and let his gray hair not go down to Sheol in shalom. 7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table—for they befriended me when I fled from your brother Absalom. 8 Also behold, you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by Adonai saying: ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’ 9 Now don’t let him go unpunished. For you are a wise man, and you will know how to deal with him, and bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.” 10 Then David slept with his fathers[b] and was buried in the city of David. 11 The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years—seven years he reigned in Hebron and 33 years he reigned in Jerusalem. 12 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was established firmly.

Healing and Deliverance in Capernaum and Beyond

31 Yeshua came down to Capernaum, a town in the Galilee. He was teaching them on Shabbat, 32 and they were astounded at His teaching because His message had authority. 33 In the synagogue was a man who had an unclean demonic spirit, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ah! What have we to do with You, Yeshua of Natzeret? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are! You are the Holy One of God!”

35 Yeshua rebuked him, saying, “Quiet! Come out of him!” And when the demon threw him down in their midst, it came out without hurting him.36 They were all amazed, and they spoke to one another, saying, “What is this message? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 37 So His reputation grew, spreading to every place in that region.38 After He left the synagogue, Yeshua entered Simon’s home. Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they petitioned Him concerning her. 39 Then standing over her, He rebuked the fever and it left her. Immediately she arose to wait on them.40 When the sun was setting, they brought to Yeshua all who were sick with various diseases. And He was laying hands on each one and healing them. 41 Even demons were coming out from many, shouting out and saying, “You are Ben-Elohim!”[a] But He was rebuking them and not permitting them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Messiah.

Hebrews 11 : 21 – 22

21 By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and he bowed in worship while leaning on the top of his staff. 22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the exodus of Bnei-Yisrael and gave instructions about his bones.

1 Peter 1 : 3 – 9

A Message of Living Hope

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah! In His great mercy He caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Messiah Yeshua from the dead. 4 An incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading inheritance has been reserved in heaven for you. 5 By trusting, you are being protected by God’s power for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 You rejoice in this greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials. 7 These trials are so that the true metal[a] of your faith (far more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire) may come to light in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Messiah Yeshua. 8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him. And even though you don’t see Him now, you trust Him and are filled with a joy that is glorious beyond words, 9 receiving the outcome of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

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.
