Take the Foxes, the little foxes

SS 2:15
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
..............................................................................................................................


Praise the Lord!!!

Beloved, we are instructed to take the foxes that spoil our tender grapes, the fruits of our lives. Our life which is our garden or farm describes our state of living or being alive is what we need to take out the little foxes knowing in life, there are foxes targeted at destroying every aspect of our life.

Our life ...chay..hb or ...psuche..gk, both means ...breath or the animal transcient only, of which all living possesses. That is the biological and physiological processes as a living being or organism which we must cultivate.

In other words ...chay..hb or ...psuche..gk.. life, describes the state of living or being alive to manifest our tender grapes. Cultivating on this path of life only genders to a life outside God with a living in disobedience and sin.

To us deal with the foxes and the little foxes, God the father has given us another life again, since we lost it through disobedience, which goes beyond or controls the animal transcient life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jn 3:16

This Life ... zoe..gk, meaning ... life, quick, alive which Jesus offers, has the capacity to deal with the foxes and take them out. To Take as used is ...
- to deliberately take hold of; to grab or capture
- to take possession of (by force, law etc.)
- to have a sudden and powerful effect upon
- to fasten, fix, bind
- to lay hold in seizure
- to bind or lock in position immovably,

In other words, as we cultivate our lives, we must consciously and deliberately take hold of or capture the foxes that destroy the vine. Take ...'achaz..hb, meaning ...to seize, ...hold, ...fasten, ...handle, ...possess, the foxes, the little foxes.

What are these foxes? They are our errors allowing Satan to enter to take advantage of us.

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Ps 19:12
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Heb 12:15

Our failure to take the foxes, the little foxes is the cause of corruption, stealing, killing and destruction in the world and country today. On our path of life, our influences and urges to do one thing or the other determines what kind of life is operating in you ...zoe..gk or ...psuche..gk. Have you allowed the spirit or the flesh to rule your life?

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. Jas 3:5-6

Cultivating the God kind of life, Zoe ..gk, is living life from Jesus and obtaining supplies from Him which possess eternal life. That is Building up treasures in heaven where moth will not eat or touch them by taking out the foxes.

On the other hand, cultivating the path of life without Jesus, Psuche...gk, is life possessed of sin and death, filled with foxes and little foxes. That is Building treasures on earth with stealing, killing and destruction. This is life without Christ the source of it. Life filled with carnality which genders to death.

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Col 4:6

Be encouraged beloved to take the foxes and the little foxes as you cultivate your garden of life that the grapes will yield, be edible, fragrant and colourful.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Php 1:6


Be blessed!!!
