Today is January 7, 2012

January—Janus’s month

Middle English Januarie
Latin  Januarius “of Janus”
Latin  Janu(s) “Janus” + -ariusary (pertaining to)”
Latin  Januarius mensis “month of Janus”

Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways, depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions. His festival month is January.

Januarius had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.

--------------

Saturday—Saturn’s day

Middle English saterday
Old English
sæter(nes)dæg “Saturn’s day”
Latin dies
Saturni “day of Saturn”
Ancient Greek

Saturn is the Roman and Italic God of agriculture. He is believed to have ruled the earth during an age of happiness and virtue.

-----

This day was called dies Saturni, "Saturn's Day", by the ancient Romans in honor of Saturn.

I digress…

 

Don’t worship the host of heaven, the sun, moon, stars, planets or anything that was made.

 

Worship the God of Israel, the creator

---------------------

However we restore the calendar of God

We are now in the 10th month of God – Tevet, 12th day

Esth.2 [16] So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

 

The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week, not the first day of the week,  (Sunday) nor the lunar Sabbath misguided conclusions of today

--------------------

Today’s topic: Being slack, slothful and idle,

Are not accepted attributes as a true believer with the God of Israel

Don’t be a Sluggard

 

 

First we shall examine some words from the original tongues from which these words derived:

I hope you get the picture

 

Now let’s read some scriptures

 

Slack

Deut.7 Yehovah

[10] repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

 

Deut.23

[21] When thou shalt vow a vow unto Yehovah thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for Yehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

 

Josh.10

[6] And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

 

Josh.18

[3] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which Yehovah God of your fathers hath given you?

 

Prov.10

[4] He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

 

Hab.1

[4] Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

 

2Pet.3[9] Yehovah is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
[12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
[14] Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
[15] And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

--------------

Slothful

Prov.12

[24] The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

[27] The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

Prov.15

[19] The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Prov.18

[9] He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

Prov.19

[15] Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

[24] A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

 

Prov.21

[25] The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

Prov.22

[13] The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

Prov.23 [21] For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

 

Prov.24

[30] I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
[31] And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
[32] Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
[33] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
[34] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want (lack) as an armed man.

Prov.26

[13] The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

[14] As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

[15] The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

 

Ecc.10

[18] By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

 

Rom.12

[11] Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving Yehovah;

 

Heb.6 [11] And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

[12] That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

---------------------

Sluggard

Prov.6 [6] Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
[
7] Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
[
8] Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
[
9] How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
[
10] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
[
11] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

 

Prov.10
[4] He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
[
5] He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

[26] As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

 

Prov.13 [4] The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Prov.20 [4] The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

[13] Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread

 

------

Idle

Prov.19

[15] Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

 

Prov.31

[27] She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

 

Ecc.10

[18] By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

 

Ezek.16

[49] Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

2Thes.3 [10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. [11] For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies

 

1Tim.5

[8] But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.


[9] Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
[10] Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
[11] But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Messiah, they will marry;
[12] Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
[13] And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
[14] I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
[15] For some are already turned aside after Satan.

[16] If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

---------------------

Let’s read Matt.25

The foolish and the wise

 

[1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
[2] And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
[3] They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
[4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

[5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
[6] And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
[7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
[8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
[9] But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

[10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

[11] Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
[12] But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

 

[13] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
[14] For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
[15] And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.


[16] Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
[17] And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

[18] But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.


[19] After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
[20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
[21] His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[22] He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
[23] His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[24] Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
[25] And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

[26] His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
[27] Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
[28] Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
[29] For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
[30] And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

[31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
[32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
[33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
[34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
[35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
[38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
[39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
[40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
[42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
[44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
[45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
[46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal

-------------------------

Luke.10

[38] Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
[39] And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Yeshua' feet, and heard his word.


[40] But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.


[41] And Yeshua answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: (not needful)
[42] But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

---------------------

 

Let us be minded of the verses above and work Daily

 

Here are our examples:

 

Matt.6 when you pray:

[11] Give us this day our daily bread.

 

Matt.26

[55] In that same hour said Yeshua to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

 

Mark.14

[49] I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

 

Luke.9

[23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

 

Acts.2

[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

[47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Acts.57

[42] And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Yeshua the Messiah.

 

Acts.16

[5] And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

 

Acts.17

[11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

[17] Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

 

Acts.19

[9] But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

 

1Cor.15

[31] I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord, I die daily.

 

2Cor.11

[28] Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

 

Heb.3

[12] Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
[13] But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

 

[14] For we are made partakers of Messiah, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
[15] While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
[16] For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
[17] But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
[18] And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
[19] So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

-------------

Sowing and reaping

Job.4 [8] Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

Prov.22 [8] He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

2Cor.9[6] But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. [7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Gal.6  [7] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.[8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. [9] And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

---------------

In closing

Ecc. 9[10] Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

 

Rom.12 [11] Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving Yehovah;
