The Book of Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 11

Ecclesiastes 11:1 says, "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." "Christ Jesus" is the "Word of Father God Almighty and our Bread of Life, Holy Communion." The "waters" are the "people" as is taught in Revelation 17:15. The Truth of Father's Word are those seeds planted wherein people, with eyes to see and ears to hear come to the knowledge of truth, when they seek, ask and knock. It is up to the hearer to seek understanding from Father's Word since He is the only one who can grant the increase of understanding.

Ecclesiastes 11:2 says, "Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth." "Seven" means "spiritual completeness" and "eight" means "new beginnings, resurrection." Share the truth of Father's Word as often as you can to as many who will listen, by any means necessary. There are many troubles within the hearts and minds of people and they need to hear what "thus saith our LORD." When you think you have given your all in the service of Father God, continue on and go that extra mile since you may come across others seeking that spiritual relationship, looking for that new beginning with Father wherein they become a new lump onto our LORD, receiving His blessings and serving Father as His Word continues to spread.

Ecclesiastes 11:3 says, "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." Humankind cannot change or correct nature or the nature of Father's laws. They cannot control the rain or change the force of gravity. Father God can however and just as He has power over nature, our LORD also has the power to cause it to rain upon the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45). This means that Father God offers salvation to all of His children, including the kenites (children of satan). Father does not wish for any of His children to be lost and not with Him for the Eternity since "all" souls were created for His pleasure and Father loves all of His children. He may not love what you do, however Father does love His children. When you are in the service of our LORD, by the gifts Father has given, you follow His instructions acting according to His Plan, planting seeds of truth, the hearer being spiritually fed and when they pray, Father God will send the rain that brings about their salvation and understanding of His Word.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 says, "He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap." If Father God has blessed you with a gift and you hold on to it fearful that it will not be received the way you want or where you want it to be received, you are not being obedient to Father. Just do as Father would have you to since you do not know if those seeds of truth will fall on good or bad ground. You have no way of knowing who has a mind ripe to receive truth at any given time. Therefore, just let Father God lead and you do His will that all may be fed and full with the blessings of Father God. Have faith in Father, in yourself and that gift(s) bestowed upon you with confidence and great joy. If at first you do not succeed, try again and do not procrastinate. Your gift from Father serves no purpose if you are not using it to His glory.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 says, "As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all." Not one of us in the flesh knows the ways of the wind or how the bones and body of a baby is formed within the mother's womb, only Father God knows these things. Our LORD knows "everything." The understanding of humankind is conditional. You can feel the direction of the wind and know there is a baby within the woman's womb, however only Father knows the intricacies of these affairs and all matters of Heaven and earth. Just cast the bread of truth on the people (waters) and leave the increase of understanding to Father since He is able and knows the spirit of all souls of His children having created them from the Age that was.

Ecclesiastes 11:6 says, "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good." Meditate on those things that will please Father God, have faith in our LORD and the gifts He has given you and your ability to have prosperity by the blessings of Father God, extending yourself to the fullest. When you trust Father you do not hold back relying on one particular thing when Father gives much to those who are under His will. You are taking a chance when you do not trust our Father, as well as yourself.

Ecclesiastes 11:7 says, "Truly the light [is] sweet, and a pleasant [thing it is] for the eyes to behold the sun:" The "Light" who gives life is "Christ Jesus." If you are not walking in the "Light" you are walking in darkness (satan) and this means your flesh, that which walks under the sun, that shell, is unable to see with understanding Christ Jesus who is the Light of the world. Just as the sun causes nature to grow and flourish, Christ Jesus causes you to spiritually grow when you feed on the "Bread of Life, Father God's Word" and nourish your spirit with spiritual understanding.

Ecclesiastes 11:8 says, "But if a man live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh [is] vanity." You can live a long life within the flesh body, however if it is done so in "darkness" you have not prepared for that which is ahead, Eternity, therefore your life is empty. Flesh does not live forever, the spiritual body does and you really want to prepare while in the flesh through understanding Father's Word that you may abide with our LORD with a beautiful immortal soul. Father God has forewarned us of all things. Understand the truth of the matter and do not walk in the flesh with an empty shell that lives a very short life span compared to the spiritual body, which is eternal if you walk in the "Light of Christ Jesus." There is so much more to life than this flesh body that shall surely perish.

Ecclesiastes 11:9 says, "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment." In all things that you do from the time of your youth as you live within your flesh body, be mindful that Father's eyes are always on you. Our LORD knows your every thought, word and deed. There is nothing you can hide from our LORD God Almighty. It is your acts that shall be in the Book of Life when Father calls your name and just as there is chastisement, there are also many rewards when you did the very best you could to walk that path of righteousness. All flesh falls short and this gives great cause for joy in repentance when coming before Father God with a true and honest heart in the Name of Christ Jesus. As you walk within the flesh, keep your eyes on Father God, understanding His Plan, knowing when our True Christ returns, that there is a Millennial Kingdom teaching, another short season of testing before our Father returns on His Throne and all are held accountable before His Great White Throne Judgment.

Ecclesiastes 11:10 says, "Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity." All flesh sins as mistakes are made that are not pleasing to Father God and this is why He gave us the greatest love of all that believing in Christ Jesus, there is salvation and repentance. Just remember that you cannot fool Father since He knows a true heart seeking forgiveness from a lying and deceiving heart. Learn from mistakes made and show Father He can count on you to grow in grace to do things His way. There is no better peace and joy than to walk a Christ-like path, knowing Father will never leave or forsake you even when you fall short when you return to Him and never give up. Pleasing Father causes your heart, mind and spirit to put away evil things and seek His loving kindness and tender mercy; thank our LORD for His forgiving heart toward you.
