THE SAINTS' INHERITANCE IN GOD. (Ephesians 1:14, Ephesians 5:5)

When an emigrant first receives the title-deeds of the broad lands made over to him in the far West, he has no conception, as he descends the steps of the Government office and passes into the crowd, of all that has been conveyed to him in the schedule of parchment. And, though acres vast enough to make an English county are in his possession, rich and loamy soil, or stored with mines of ore, yet he is not sensibly the richer. For long days he travels, towards his inheritance and presently pitches his flimsy shanty upon its borders. But even though he has reached it, several years must pass before he can understand its value, or compel it to minister, with all its products, to his need.

O child of God, thy estate has been procured at the cost of blood and tears; but thou didst not buy it! Its broad acres have been made over to thee by deed of gift. They became thine in the Council chamber of eternity, when the Father gave Himself to thee in Jesus. And they became thine in fact, when thou wast born at the foot of the cross. As soon as thou didst open thine eyes to behold the crucified Lord, thou didst all unconsciously become heir to the lengths and breadths, and depths, and heights of God!

No sooner has the emigrant reached his estate, than he commences to prospect it. He makes a circuit of its bounds; he ascends its loftiest hills; he crosses and recrosses it, that he may know all that has come into his ownership. And this is God's message to thee, O Christian soul! Look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward; for all this land is given to thee! Precious things of the sun and of the moon, for God is light; of the ancient mountains of his faithfulness, and the everlasting hills of his truth; of the fountains and brooks of his love, that gush spontaneously forth to satisfy and enrich.

But next to this, the emigrant encloses some small part of his inheritance, placing around it a tentative fence or partition; and here he begins to expend toil and skill. The giant trees are cut down; and their roots burnt out, or extracted by a team of horses. The unaccustomed soil is brought beneath the yoke of the plough. The grassland yields pasture to the cattle; and there is not a square inch of the enclosed territory that does not minister to the needs of the new proprietor. But not content with this, in the following year he pushes his fences back further into the depth of prairie or forest, and again renews his efforts to compel the land to yield him her secret stores. Year after year the process is repeated, until, perhaps when twenty years have come and gone, the fences are needed no longer, because the extent of occupation is commensurate with the extent of the original purchase.

Let every reader mark this, that supposing two men obtained a grant of an equal number of acres, if other things were equal, their wealth would be in exact proportion to the amount of use which each had made of his special acres. If one had learnt a swifter art of appropriating the wealth that lay open to his hand, he would be actually, though perhaps not potentially, richer than his neighbour. All of which is a parable.

The difference that obtains between Christians is not one of grace, but of the use we make of grace. That there are diversities of gift is manifest; and there always will be a vast difference between those who have five talents and those who have two, in the amount of work done for the kingdom of God. But as far as our inheritance of God's grace is concerned, there are no preferences, no step-children's portions, no arbitrary distinctions. It is not as under the laws of primogeniture, that one child takes all, while the younger children are dismissed with meagre allowances. Each soul has the whole of God. God gives Himself to each. He cannot give more; He will not give less than Himself.

If then you would know why it is that some of God's children live lives so much fuller and richer than others, you must seek it in the differences of their appropriation of God. Some have learnt the happy art of receiving and utilizing every square inch if we may use the expression of that knowledge of God which has been revealed to them. They have laid all God's revealed character under contribution. They have raised harvests of bread out of the Incarnation; and vintages of blood-red grape from the scenes of Gethsemane and Calvary; and pomegranates and all manner of fruit out of the mysteries of the Ascension and the gift of the Holy Ghost. In hours of weakness they drew on God's power; in those of suffering, on his patience; in those of misunderstanding and hatred, on his vindication; in those of apparent defeat and despair, on the promises that gleam over the smoke of the battle, as the Cross before the gaze of Constantine; in death itself, on the life and immortality which find their home in the being of Jehovah.

The analogy that we have quoted, however, fails us utterly in its final working out. The emigrant at last covers his estate, its mines become exhausted, its forests levelled, its soil impoverished; but when a million years have passed, the nature of God will lie before us as utterly unexplored and unexhausted, as when the first-born son of light commenced like a Columbus in the spiritual realm to explore the contents of the illimitable continent, God.

When we were children, the map of Africa gave us a few scattered names around the coast line; but the great interior was blank. Modern maps containing the results Of the explorations of Livingstone, Stanley, Burton, tell another story of river, Savannah, tableland, and of myriads of inhabitants. Probably, ere long the whole will have been opened up to European civilization and commerce. But with God this shall never be. We shall never know the far-away springs of the Niles and Congo's of his nature; we shall never unravel the innermost secret of his being.

If you’re annoyed that your pocket compass doesn’t point exactly to true north, then head for Greenwich, England, where magnetic north and true north are synching over the next two weeks for the first time in 360 years.

We’re used to the idea that “north” is a fixed direction pointing unerringly toward the North Pole, but it’s not as constant as popularly thought. In fact, there are two versions of north. There’s true north,…Then there is magnetic north, which is what you read on a magnetic compass and changes as the magnetic north pole, which is located hundreds of miles from the north pole, ….

'Silicon Valley Sharia': Big Tech Pouring Cash to Ilhan Omar
Sep 5th, 2019
CommentaryWND
Categories: Contemporary Issues

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has campaigned against Israel, supported men accused of joining ISIS, trivialized 9/11 by saying "some people did something" and allegedly used campaign funds to pay for an extra-martial affair.

She once wrote on Twitter, "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."

So what companies are enthused about supporting the newcomer to Congress for another term in 2020?

Google.

And Apple.

Investigative reporter Laura Loomer cited a report from Open Secrets: "In yet another example of Silicon Valley Sharia, and further evidence that the big tech social media companies are in bed with the radical Left, Apple and Google are the top campaign contributors to Rep. Ilhan Omar's 2020 congressional re-election campaign," Loomer explained

Omar has raised about $1.4 million for her campaign, "and has already spent $539,315 of it, a large portion of which has reportedly been given to Tim Mynett, a Democratic consultant whose wife accused him of having an affair with Omar," said investigative reporter Laura Loomer.

Loomer said it effectively means Apple and Google are backing marriage fraud as Omar "has been accused of marrying her brother in an immigration and student loan fraud scheme."

She noted "documentation strongly supports these claims."

Then there's Omar's advocacy for "9 men accused of joining ISIS," her refusal to condemn Hamas, her refusal to condemn female genital mutilation, her "anti-Jewish statements," her support for the BDS movement and its goal of eliminating Israel, her opposition to legislation to halt insurance payouts to terrorists and her support for calls for jihad against President Trump, among others.

Her newest scandal is her relationship with Mynett.

Loomer noted that a according to a filing for divorce by Mynett's wife, Tim Mynett met Omar while working on her campaign for Congress. Federal Election Commission filings show Omar's campaign has paid 'E Street Group' over $220,000 for campaign related expenses.

Loomer pointed out than an FEC complaint alleges that Omar "illegally used her campaign funds to pay for travel expenses for her married boyfriend, Tim Mynett."

Loomer calls Omar "arguably the most scandal plagued first term congresswoman in U.S. history" and said she's benefiting from the admitted "manipulation" of the big tech companies in her favor.

"There is plenty of evidence which suggests Big tech is engaged in financial and political arrangements with the Democrat Party and left-leaning activists who work together to boost Democrat candidates and suppress Republicans, as reported by the Wall Street Journal," she wrote.

"What is Apple's real relationship with Ilhan Omar? What is Google's real relationship with Ilhan Omar?" she asked. "How many of the campaign donations that Omar received from Apple and Google employees are from non-citizen employees of the tech giants?"

The report continued: "How are Americans supposed to have any faith in their political system when the technology they use on a daily basis is controlled by monopolistic tyrannical tech companies that are using algorithms and foreign workers to favor far-Left, anti-American politicians like Ilhan Omar, who has ties to terrorist organizations?

"The Democrats have complained for three years about so called 'Russian interference' in the 2016 US Presidential election, an absolute hoax, while they simultaneously ignore all of the collusion that big tech and foreign actors contracted with big tech are actually playing in the U.S. election, and the effect they are having on constitutionally protected speech as outlined in the First Amendment."

She cited an undercover Project Veritas that captured Google executive Jen Gennai discussing how "Google could manipulate their algorithm to prevent a Trump victory."

She wrote: "President Trump is correct. Google, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter are inherently biased against conservatives and they should be sued for election interference. ... It should alarm every single American that the people who control what you see and hear are collectively donating to Ilhan Omar and other far-left candidates."

Omar recently was denied entry to Israel for her support for the anti-Semitic BDS movement.
