PASTORS AND PEOPLE POLITICIANS


INTRODUCTION - "If the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want ..." Especially in the Old Testament politicians and leaders of nations were called. But days we have pastors in all areas of human knowledge; whether in politics, science, the arts, education, health, the judiciary, at work, etc.

What does being a political minister? According to the bible pastor comes from the root of the ancient Greek "Poimenoi" Elder, the oldest, the leader or one who advises him that is educational role, the one who presides over and manages. And or "political shepherd" who directs the people, who directs the hungering and thirsting masses direction, one that manages our salary, fixed our monthly gain (minimum wage of misery in the Brazil) and monthly income, vote laws, discuss popular laws, set taxes, designed the health funds, education, housing, criminal law, administration of cities etc. And now we see how they deceive us and mistreat us.

I. TO DELIVER THEM OUR SAFES MONEY OF CITIES

And to them our leaders and pastors-political of the people we give them everything, we give carte blanche to govern ourselves and manage our home, our country. And we trust them everything without asking account of what they do and how they spend, and to them we give the keys to our safe, the safe public money of our central bank, money Social Security, (INSS), federal bank, state banks , municipal banks, the board of cities, education, health, wage employment, unemployment benefits etc. And only now in 2016 our people awoke, and is waking up to the public cause, but many still sleep for the public cause. And recently the federal camera and the Brazilian Senate are voting fiscal responsibility laws. That is, our government leaders, federal, state and local, may not spend more than collect, and must report what they do and how they spend our money. And it becomes a crime considered "heinous" for government leaders and public officials who enrich the expense of embezzlement of public funds, that is theft; and corrupt prison and jail them. The bill of popular initiative and the federal prosecutor's office and the 10 measures to fight corruption processed by the Federal Chamber. With urgent voting, most urgent.

And this project has been going on in the chamber to vote in more than two years, and is on the waiting staff, not walking or with "mad prayer." For the corrupt politicians and bad pastors hate these popular designs, and popular.Eles initiative does not want to vote these laws are good for people, and that are popular initiative. And another terrible thing that they deceive us is that called "public debt" ie internal and external debt. Our question to our senators, congressmen and leaders is: Where does this debt? What kind of debt is this? Why did not you pay the damn debt? It is the debt of "national and international moneylenders" because it is a crime committed against the public economy. They are in this group and are part of "organized crime", and that debt is called by the Argentine debt of "vultures" or debt of "vultures" who "eat rotten carrion" of the poor and slum dwellers of nations. And they are American and foreign investors? Or of unknown origin? Thing that Argentina put an end making a good audit. But our Brazil never does. For it displeases these loan sharks and scavengers. And we ask: why our Brazilian government not do the same? As the Argentines did? Why they mistreat us so much? And our Brazilian government fails, and turns a blind eye to all this. And let investors, foreign bankers and national exploit us so much? They eat our meat, our milk, our bread and butter, our retirement etc. Lords federal deputies and senators you'll make a good "audit in all this" ....? So there's more to continue.

And they are also imposing on us the laws and social peace. And the health of the body of pastors, inner healing, medical advice health, which are our doctors pastors of the healing of the body and inner healing, which are psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, etc. And as we see today these functions are in the hands of our public men. Now who does that nowadays are our public men, are our "good" or "bad public servants" who are chosen and elected by the people in general. And by our electoral laws they are empowered to direct the cities, lead the masses and people individually and collectively. So let us take a lot more careful going forward with our public and political leaders on election day; because a "political bad" or "good leader" is invested with authority that comes from God. And let us take care when choosing these men and representatives of the people not to suffer and cry later.

II. BUT IN THE TIME OF OUR BIGGEST CRISIS WE ARE ABANDONED THEM 

And we clearly see this fact abandoned by the pastors and political in the Old Testament, when God calls and "my servant" King Cyrus who was a Medo-Persian citizen, a pagan king, because the leaders and pastors of the people, their leaders had abandoned his people, in the Babylonian captivity of the Jews of the time in the years 480 BC../ was precisely what the great prophets and chaplains war talked about, men such as the prophet Isaiah the prophet Daniel, the prophet Ezekiel, the prophet Jeremiah and many others. They witnessed all this very closely, and saw the abandonment of the great Jewish leaders and pastors who left his people in times of greatest crisis in history, when they were with their people in Babylonian captivity.

Now when they were getting ready to leave, to return to the Promised Land Israel, where they had been taken to the ancient Babylon of concentration camps. This fact is recorded in the book of war prophets and chaplains in the time of his exile from the Old Testament. And as we read in the Book of Isaiah's text (Is.45: 1-3) And in the book of Ezekiel the prophet same chaplain who was chaplain of war. And as they all were abandoned by the major political leaders and pastors of the people, and he prophet Ezekiel who was arrested along with his people in the camps along the rivers of Babylon of the time. He thus expressed on about the bad leaders of governments past and present times. Were political shepherds of the people in Babylonian captivity had left his people at random luck; and it was because of them that God decides to punish his people. And they were the bad shepherds in a way pushed the people to the punishment the way to the Babylonian captivity. The ancient people Israel, the Old Testament church. And after the captivity had been abandoned by the leaders of his people, his Church. And God says more through his prophet Ezekiel and other prophets in a prophetic way and uses the symbols and parables: "I will strike the shepherd or (pastors) and the sheep shall be scattered ...".

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my flock became meat to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep; and shepherds shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep; Ezekiel 34: 8

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? Ezekiel 34: 2

III. WE MAUST  LEARN  TO CHOOSE OUR LEADERS

And let us pray that God will help us in the day not to fall for elections in the wiles of the devil is the father of lies. Because today is what our bad politicians, pastors do is lie, as does Satan. And yet as we have seen today in the war operation and called "Operation jet wash" which is an action against our bad politicians and pastors of the people, also witnessed by TV and media in general as it is difficult we take these men and these people of power. They do not want to leave the office. They want a tenured. These political-bad shepherds want to perpetuate in power. So on election day say no to re-election.
                                (Texts Psalm 23 and the Gospel of John 10)
                         King David a good example of pastor-politician antiquity
                           
In figure below the symbol of our ministers, politicians and representatives of the people as representatives, senators, presidents who steal their people and keep the money in their underwear and banks, banks in tax havens etc, it is a symbol of corruption and crooked deals in life Brazilian public, is a national disgrace ... And also from the bad shepherds are bad businessmen, pastors, the judge pastors, the teachers, the doctors, doctors psychologists, pastors of the people, mayors, pastors of cities etc.

                       And when all this things is going to happen in our Brazil?

IV. KING DAVID EXAMPLE OF GOOD POLITICAL AND PASTORS

Psalm twenty-three is called Psalm of pilgrimages and festivals in the desert of Arabia. Psalm that it was written by King David, who lived in the mid-1050-950 B.C. It was certainly a very troubled time. The Jews sought a strong hand leader to guide them in his reign and his pública.Tinham life this time a policy mix of Theocracy and Democracia.Mas nothing went right the way to govern the country. This was a government time judges and social vigilantes, was a time without laws, and in the likeness of the old American West lands, as happened in the movies. No leader was able to understand the people of Israel with its acquired multi-culture of all peoples in which they passed and were enslaved. They needed a good shepherd versed in all areas of human knowledge so that he could guide you in the ways of the Lord your God, the God of all Israel - the God and father of all people and all races.

Jesus Christ embodies in himself three offices in the land; The King government leader, priest and prophet. And we see how he interacts and discusses with his people their best plan of government; and does as do our politicians in the land that frighten the people with gas, of tanks and torture etc. It helps to choose the twelve leaders to rule the earth, in the choice of the twelve apostles and over the twelve patriarchs of the Old Testament totaling twenty-four government leaders reappearing in the book of Revelation in (Revelation 4: 1-10).
                                       

Rule this nomadic people, a gypsy people, full of manias people at last was a very strange people to understand and rule. Their leader should be a charismatic man and at the same time should be a man of strong personality and be a religious, a man of faith. We cite as an example;

But these tribes govern, govern and manage a mixed type of races of our Brazil today. It was a task to a great man of social charisma. Govern a religious people, believing with radical ideas and estranhas.Todos were engaged in the construction of the heavenly city. All were on their way to the new heavenly Canaan.

It was then that came the shepherd who was called David the Hebrews. A man without noble blood of kings and heritage known to mankind then.

David has his farm sources, was creator of sheep and goats. He begins by describing his poetry aimed at their Maestro Asaph. And he describes in short prophetic poetic words and their history. Write in the form of poetic song to your favorite Maestro and his band, and begins singing his poem:

"If the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want";
For only the good shepherd knows his sheep and his sheep know him. "Pour me is in green pastures, lead me the calm and tranquil waters." For humanly this is almost impossible. But this saying is a poet, because in the desert there is no green pastures in abundance, say more: Finding in the desert a green pasture field is much more difficult. Now find calm waters, only in faith and poetry can sing like this: This is almost impossible, only by faith can find a rich field as well in the desert. Only poets can sing like this:

As the Psalmist sings this poem and how he keeps telling us: Prepare me a full table in the presence of my enemies. We ask: Who were the enemies of the sheep of David? They were the Tigers tembawang, were hungry jackals of the Palestinian desert, were the wild wolves, lions were hungry and ready to attack the plump sheep the shepherd David.

But he was there watching his sheep day and night; with his helpers, and their watchdogs caring day and night. Caring in the night watches so that his sheep are not devoured by his many hungry enemies were predators. This is what he says:
"If the Lord Jesus Christ is my shepherd Then, of course, nothing could me missing, by faith I feel it, hope I nod to this good time Jesus said. I am the good shepherd, I give my life for sheep. Now the certainty that faith my soul begins to be fed mysteriously and, as a miracle of the loaves in the desert of Arabia, where Christ Jesus re-appears and will Feeding thousands of pilgrims pilgrims who were already faint from hunger and headquarters. that's what David as a shepherd and prophet was seeing and was prophesying and falando.Pois him as pastor had experience of it. he was the good shepherd for sure, he gave his life for the sheep.

V. BAD BAD SHEPHERD AND POLITICAL NOT BE CAREFUL OF ITS CITIZENS AND ITS          SHEEP

Jesus begins giving a tough message to bad leaders, the bad pastors and priests, the religious evil, the bad politicians, bad presidents, the bad governors, mayors the bad, the bad judges etc. of today saying: Woe to you!

And woe to you scribes and Pharisees entrepreneurs, hypocrites! because it shuts up the men of the kingdom of heaven; and neither you enter in or let go those who are coming. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, a pretense make long prayers; so will you suffer stricter judgment. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you traverse sea and land to make one proselyte; and after the having made, ye make the child of hell twice more than yourselves. Woe to you, blind guides! , which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, it is a debtor. Ye fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold? And it that shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is upon it, it is guilty. Ye fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? As writes the Evangelist Matthew in (Mt.13-19)

In Brazil today year 2016 happens that when President Getulio Vargas said:
"Brazilian politicians steal night, but the country recovers day. But this time the hole in Brazil was great, and the country is not able to recover from day to say the Getulio ..."
                                                       

We corruption at all levels of human knowledge: We have corruption in sports, corruption in health, science corruption, corruption in politics, corruption in education, judicial corruption, corruption in religion etc.

But the bad shepherd bad employee of the government and the Church, the mercenary, who lives only to earn the salary of orphans and widows. The wages of government whether as a civil servant, politician, Public Administrator, judges etc. These rulers when they see they see the enemy, evil men, mobsters and criminals coming invading public life; and when they see the wicked and mafia men coming invading the leadership of the Senate, is breaking into the Federal Parliament, State and Municipal his country they ignore or run away from their responsibility. And so do the pastors of the Church. These evil men do nothing, they ignore and do not take the action.

This was and still sit the case of the shanty towns of Rio de Janeiro.That the government and the Church did nothing for many years and ignored the poor and slum dwellers of all the slums of Rio and all our Brazil. So we have in our Brazil for many years a government and religious political elite who never took care of his sheep say to its citizens. Politicians are also called shepherds in the Holy Bible and especially the Old Testament.

The prophets and pastors of the people and men of God such as the prophet Nathan, Gad prophet Micaiah prophet, and many others were constantly watching and everything that happened in the reign of King David. They were the so-called war prophets. And they spoke in the name of God and on behalf of the Church at the time. They and along with their auxiliaries of the church at the time, the Old Testament church, which was composed of Levites, priests and religious politicians. It was kind of our public ministry of the time over the church and the prophets. If we apply here the passage (2 Sam.1-20). Torture and ill-treatment who received the Gibeonites (war refugees) in the time of King Saul. And this was a case denounced by this MP group of the prophets Nathan, Gad and others of the time.

But as Jesus continues speaking to us in his speech of the Good Shepherd; The bad leader and public servant and pastor does nothing because it is not a good shepherd. He is taking the place of pastor, has the position of public office only. This is not careful with the wounds of the sheep, he is careless, when the sheep are sick and ill, he does not apply the proper remedies, has a function, is a Church administrator, is concerned only with taxes, with the income taxes and tithes, offerings and donations.

His church is administered as a company, should generate profits and incomes. There is an association of friends of faith and charity. This false pastor when he sees come the wolves and werewolves he flees because he does not care for the sheep. We asked:

Because he runs away ...? Flee because it is not the true Shepherd. The sheep do not recognize your voice command and order. The true shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. As Jesus told us (John 10: 11-14)

GOVERNMENT OF EXCLUDED - GENUINE PURSUIT OF WISDOM



"Words of Agur Massah jack son. And I said, have grown weary me O God; I wearied me, O God, I'm exhausted because I am too stupid to be a man; I'm not a man of intelligence, not learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the Holy. "Proverbs of Solomon (Prov.30: 1-3) 



"These are the solemn words of Agur, the son of Jack:" God is not with me, God is not with me I am helpless I'm more animal than man; I do not have the intelligence that a human being should have never learned to be wise... and do not know the Holy God. ". (translation bible today's language)

The cry of the oppressed and excluded in our century:
I wearied me, wearied me oh God And I'm exhausted because I am too stupid to be a man;

Introduction - Massa city of ancient wisdom - a city of Palentina where the ancient sages were in the. It is there left the wise and understood in all areas of human knowledge, whether in philosophy, in the arts, sciences, policy, education, agriculture, religion etc. These wise and good politicians were also in Egypt, and more precisely in the cities of Antioch, Alexandria, and call Pisidian Antioch etc. In the later chapter 31 of Proverbs, King Solomon here copy the qualities of a good wife and mother of the home, a fact that was written by King Lemuel who was also a wise king, and was king of that city of Massah in Palestine. He extols the quality of Lemuel king queen mother who taught her the quality of a good wife. And to Solomon re-write these proverbs and exalts the good quality of a good wife and wise mother woman. As we read in the chapters (Prov.30: 1-3) and Proverbs (Proverbs 31: 1-3


I. PARALLEL - WISE AND PAST AND PRESENT GOVERNMENTS

a) Lack of a good transparency of the acts of governments to their people

In today the Brazilian government is living a government crisis unprecedented in history. More than 20 million unemployed in our country. The PT government can not give the job done, failed to control inflation, unemployment, budget deficits etc. Now the new government Temer want to take money from the INSS and retirees to pay interest on domestic and external debt. It is the same case that happened months ago in Greece. This is terrible, this is a national corruption. This is the result of the new world order of the rich and super rich and billionaires on the planet, they are a major cause of it all. They cause all this war of nerves among the poor. They have no true wisdom that comes down from on high alert us as the great prophets bíblicos.E as we read the words of the apostle James

"Now listen you rich! Weep and mourn-in view of the disaster that will befall them. The wealth of you has rotted, and moths have eroded their clothes. The gold and silver you have rusted, and the rust of them testify against and you like them fire devours the flesh. you have accumulated assets in recent dias.Vejam the wages of workers who mowed your fields, which you have retained with fraud, are crying out against you. the cry of the reapers reached the ears of the Lord of hosts .Vocês lived luxuriously on the earth, enjoying pleasures, and filled up food in day of slaughter. [11] Or as a feast day. you have condemned and killed the just, without which it offers resistance. " (James 5: 1-5).

b) Example of King David and apology from the authorities for the mistakes of government - and accompanied by a good confession of sins the church of Jesus Christ. As did King David in his government. This was the case of the Solomon government was a government man of God, a government that escrachava the poor of that time. His attachment to lust, her exaggerated affection in owning all women caused him to fall and corrupção.E their greed for gold and silver, their aversion to the prophets of God and the denunciation of acts of corruption in his governo.Vemos that in his government was abolished all support the V / T church, he stopped all the prophetic voice. That was kind of our MP (prosecutors) of today. And so we do not see in your government monitoring the prophetic voice, as in the reign of David his father: The highlight of the reign of David his father constantly confessed their mistakes of government, and the confession of his sins was made public; And where we point out that this deeply pleased God. We see this clearly in King David's acts when he confessed his sins that were written in so-called King David's psalms. Psalms as the 32 Psalm, Psalm 38, Psalm 51 and others, these psalms are part of a public confession compilation errors of government and personal sins, where he confessed his sins to church, and even the writing and cast them to the public in geral.E also where the prophets Nathan, the prophet Gad, the priests, the Levites etc. that were part of the V / T Church, and constantly watched the acts of his government and denounced in public.

And this surveillance evil acts of Solomon's government were not reported by  Old Testamen and the profetas. But church in Solomonic government was inaugurated the era of a government focused on Jewish philosophy of antiquity. It was the birth of the former World Government Order. And as we see today which was recently re-opened the New World Order. That was was called the worship of the "god mammon" that is the era of workers' enslavement, worship lust, "worship the god of profit, and it was created in the governments of the Egyptian, Persian, Babylonian and others, and was recently opened the New world Order. And this model of rule of king David should not be copied as anti-corruption model for all nations of this world and all the corruption we face in the days of modernity. the lack of transparency of the acts of governments municipal, state and federal is a national disgrace. confession of government mistakes in public and accompanied by apology to the people for the harm caused. and at the same time a good confession of sins of the great leaders of nations the Church of Jesus is in land and the priests and pastors respected by governments and the people of his church. As taught in the holy gospels saying. "Confess your sins to each other so that you may be healed ..." As guides us and teaches the apostle James in (Tg .5: 11-20)

The era of Solomon - He had the greater wisdom than the wisdom of all the East and all the wisdom of the ancient Egyptian kings. (1 Kings 4:30)


                                   
1.Salomon probably reigned in the years 968-931 AC.- the so-called millennium of the wise. But the wise men were also in Greek cities, who have not heard of the famous Socrates, Plato and Aristóteles.Nessa was begun to emerge the sages of antiquity.

2. Socrates - Athenian, lived between 469 and 399 BC was one of the most important precursors of Western Philosophy. Inspired by much of his thought by the theories of pre-Socratic Parmenides. About Socrates, we have records are the writings and reports of his leading disciples, who were Plato, Xenophon and Aristophanes. There is also a theory that defends that Socrates was nothing more than a creation of Plato, that is, a character used to illustrate points of his work; however, no decisive evidence for such a finding. Also in Athens, was a philosopher and mathematician, founder of the Academy of Athens, which was the first top Western educational institution. His mentor, as reported in his works, was Socrates and his successor and pupil was Aristotle.

3. Plato was born between 428 and 427 B.C and lived to 348 or 347 BC is regarded by many scholars as the greatest of the ancient philosophers. Initially, Plato had its introduction in philosophical thoughts by Cratylus, who was a disciple of the pre-Socratic Heraclitus; But at age 20, he met Socrates and became his disciple to death of it.

4. Aristotle was born in Stagira, a Greek colony in 384 BC It was philosopher king of medical Amyntas III of Macedon, was a disciple of Plato and educational tutor of Alexander the Great. Next to Plato, his mentor, and Socrates, mentor of Plato, Aristotle is considered one of the greatest philosophers of antiquity and precursor of Western philosophy. His works deal with the most comprehensive and varied subjects, emphasizing the method of rhetoric and speech from metaphysics to music, government, physics and poetry.

5. But the young Agur who is in search of true wisdom, he is the son of King Jacque I said thus grown weary me, wearied me oh God! I'm exhausted because I am too stupid to be a man, and I have no man of wisdom? I do not know rule? I have no wisdom?

II. SCHOOL INTELLIGENCE FAILURE - NO WISDOM

The cry of the oppressed in our century - have grown weary me, wearied me oh God I'm exhausted! because I'm too stupid said the man?

Deleted - The cry of the enslaved oppressed came to the ears of the Lord of hosts, their cry came to the ears of the authorities. A note my friends, how long we have oppressed and enslaved and oppressed in our Brazil and in the world, centuries, millennia. But only in our era in the twentieth century and these people are gaining ground in our midst.

Some time ago I took a course at the school as a teacher called course of EJA (Education for Youth, Adults and elderly in diversity) is a course the distance made by the state computer network promoted by UFSC-EAD. In this course we learn how to work with the problems of education in Brazil. How do these people suffer in life for lack of knowing how to write your full name, many can not read, do not know how to count, and they can not write a letter to your relative. They are people who do not know how to use a computer, send the e.mail. receive letters. These people can not get a good job, because they are illiterate, do not understand the instruction manuals that are placed to work with operating machines in firms. And for example, when factories promote training courses in a metallurgy, knitting, markets, banks etc. By the way, can not even make your resume and send it to companies in search of a job. As we see my friends and brothers all it becomes in a great agony. It is social exclusion in our century.

And watching how these people weary and tired, all because they took advantage of his childhood and youth time in the course of literacy in the initial series made in the Public Schools. So when are adults feel great lack of reading, and good interpretation of the texts and explanatory manuals of the firms where they work to earn a job, salary, income and daily bread, of himself and his family. So fatigue expression later, the young adult when he cries in outburst tone to your boss, your boss: grown weary me, have grown weary me oh God! I'm exhausted because I am too stupid; The issue of self image is lowered, ashamed of all kinds. Because of that person being humiliated and hear insults, this person starts talking to herself that she herself does not pay for anything in this life. So that same humiliation enters your subconscious and the person accepts this bad idea, and start saying to yourself; I do not pay for anything anymore, I'm too stupid.?
            
     Question of the elderly and disabled of all kinds.
    
The deaf and dumb, the blind and physically handicapped of all kinds. The present day seniors as they get tired when they should go to the bank to receive your payment, when they reach the bank teller to cash out their retirement money, they do not find your account card. You can not enter the number of your password. The old go to the bank with every difficulty and when there comes, puts his hand in his pocket and then say, geez! I forgot my card, I forgot the card! Nor brought identity. So, until he returns, take the bus to get home, you are already tired and fatigued and are unable to return. And this philosophical expression deAgur: grown weary me, wearied me oh God, I'm exhausted because I'm too stupid! And with age it becomes more difficult in our mobility in life. So it's good to take our children and youth to study and work, not to cry later.

And what about the cry of those in the "Stress and depression" of modern life - is the cry of an oppressed and sick from the stress of modern life by the improvement of the public health service in Brazil. This man calls for a doctor. When I worked as a pastor-chaplain at Evangelical Hospital in Curitiba; Constantly I watched as many patients moaned the corridors and shouting aloud by a doctor, and often the doctor did not come, because there were few doctors on call to meet dozens of people. And as the patient got worse and or was dying, he screamed even louder; Please call the nurse doctor !. I'm sick, I'm going to die! Please someone help me! Give me water! Water! Call my doctor! I want the doctor.! But the doctor did not come. Let's see friends and friends that serious question in our era, and called the era of great human technology, the computer age. But it is also an era of great human fatigues! It is the great time to human. But the Stress often people are treated as mere animals. They are not treated with respect and dignity, especially the elderly, the sick, the disabled of all kinds etc. And by the way it is a big question of life and at the same time such a current response, so exciting and so desperate for our age, and call the modern era. And that's exactly what Christ saw and was his great compassion for human beings when he said "

"Come unto me all ye weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest ..."

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Mt. 11: 28-30)

I wearied me, wearied me oh God! I'm exhausted because I am too stupid to be a man, and I have no man of wisdom? - By chance I am a brute beast?

c is self recessed image - This person is humble and does not consider most people, it is thought any animal. He says to himself: I am too stupid? And he says I'm too stupid to be a man? The value of the self-esteem of people in general, without it we our image falls and we get stressed. Those excluded are mistreated - Be in school with "buling" whether in hospitals, either in employment, wherever they are. they are maltreated. They faint and the door does not open.

It is the question of our young philosopher and inquirer Agur. He was beginning to philosophize that time.? And it seems that he was in the middle of the great sages, and there was the greatest sage of all time the call of King Solomon. He was a great politician, the great philosopher, the great social scientist, the great religious and great man of God. Solomon probably here in this city for a major conference of philosophers, for a series of important lectures to change the course and destiny of the human race. It is right here that philosophers, scientists from all areas were gathered. But here at the meeting were also the big heads of governments and states gathered, was called summit of nations. Type of today meetings that take place at the meeting of the major governments of the UN, the United Nations in the modern world.

Agur - This man was ill? stressed, depressed due to the busyness of life? Or is he just doing this as a philosophical question elocubração? A simple question of life. But friends and brothers, whatever; We see how he nailed it on this question and answer at the same time. Because he is speaking to our age who is ill from the stress of modern life. And we see that the same "disease stress" or stress fatigue is the disease of mental depression in King David's words when he says;

"O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. For your arrows have pierced me, and thy hand upon me down. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin. For now my iniquities beyond my head; as a heavy burden are too much for my strength. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. I am bent, I am very depressed, I go mourning all day. Because my loins are burning full, and there is no soundness in my flesh "(Psalm 38: 1-7).

I read this psalm constantly on the occasion while visiting patients at the Evangelical Hospital in Curitiba. This is called Psalm sick and depressed patients. As we see brothers and friends this psalm is very current for today. So here's our answer in the words of Agur Jacque king's son. I am wearied by the rush of day to day of our modern world. So is right when he says: "wearied me, wearied me Oh God, I'm exhausted, because I'm too stupid .." With regard to my disease, or with respect to life. This is, I have to study, I have no mental preparation and knowledge.

III. HAVE THE WISDOM TO GOVERN THIS PEOPLE SAID THE KING SOLOMON - WHO IS LACK OF WISDOM ASK GOD

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all freely, willingly; and it shall be granted. Ask her, but with faith, without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the vento.Não think that person will receive anything from the Lord, the Apostle James in his letter to the universal church of the saints (Tg.1; 6-8)

In the figure below have the greatest leaders of nations, are kings, presidents, scientists and scholars who are meeting in summit of G-20 in China 2016. Then the 20 countries with the largest economy in the world. And they represent the UN and drive mostly - The United Nations. And this conference are to discuss the major global issues, and also the issue of the poor and oppressed. Will they even remember the poor and do them justice this time? I do not think so. It's our question: Are they listening to the young man's voice Agur saying Fatiquei me wearied me oh God why have not seen my justice being done in those meetings of the great leaders of nations.


"Words of Agur Massah jack son. And I said, have grown weary me O God; I wearied me, O God, I'm exhausted because I am too stupid to be a man; I'm not a man of intelligence, not learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the Holy. "Proverbs of Solomon. Are they listening to the cry of the poor and oppressed of the world ....? Or are they just listening to what they say the businessmen, bankers, the rich, the billionaires of this world ...? It is our question that remains.

That's the question all of us, I'm not prepared to take this position, I have no wisdom. But we have a question that remains: Where is the wisdom? Or in which city the modern world is wisdom? It is with our politicians in Brasilia? The answer is No. It's in New York? No! Beijing is in the local China where today meet great leaders of nations, it seems not. They are thinking about yourself and your prosperity. And wisdom was in Russia, no. It's in our schools? No! It's in the books? No. It is not in our computers. So where is the true wisdom? Or true wisdom? It is within the churches? No. So where is wisdom? The answer is ; it descends from above as James teaches us.

And let's look at the example of King Solomon who is here in this great gathering of the great kings, politicians, philosophers and scientists from all areas Mass in ancient Egypt. Or in Antioch. And the young Agur seizes the moment to complain exclaiming: I have need of wisdom is the great cry of the third world countries today?. I have lack of good schools, I have lack of good technology, I have a lack of investment in good schools.? I have jobs, are the millions of unemployed in Brazil today.

All need wisdom: the king, the president of the republic need wisdom, the entrepreneur needs wisdom to give the use of a formal contract. The doctor needs wisdom, the householder needs wisdom, the mother needs wisdom to raise children, take care of the house. Mason needs wisdom. And in all professions, people need wisdom. So teaches the Apostle Paul talking about the gifts, talents and professions:

Now concerning spiritual gifts, not, brethren, have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away to the dumb idols, as ye were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is anathema, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the Spirit is the same. And there are diversities of ministries, but the Lord is the same. And there are diversities of operations, but the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; and the other by the same Spirit, the word of knowledge; And another by the same Spirit, faith; and the other by the same Spirit, gifts of healing; To another the working of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and other kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one as He wills. (1 Corinthians 12: 1-11)

And when King Solomon took over the reign of his father David: And he felt like he needed a wisdom to rule his people. As king and politician of the ancient people of Israel. And he prays for the wisdom of God and the Lord hears and grants you wisdom.

So brothers and friends here is a man and wise leader among nations. Bad we all know how acted this wise man, he turned away from the Lord's ways. And that's why the apostle James later will comment and say on the subject of wisdom; Who among you is wise and understanding? Show by your good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. (James 3: 13-18)

And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt; and took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream night; and God said unto him, Ask what you want me to give you? Behold, I have done according to your words; I have given so wise and understanding heart you, that before there was none like thee, and after thee shall any arise. And even what thou hast not asked I gave thee, both riches and glory; so that there will be an equal among the kings all thy days. 1 Kings 3: 12,13

IV. I DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY KNOWLEDGE

And I receive the power of the Holy Spirit. Repent and believe in the Gospel. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved. This man is a saint compared to the past that he probably heard of Moses and done miracles in Egypt, or Elijah the prophet etc. I think that was what he was referring to, and was asked to Solomon: And he was making these comparisons with the great men and prophets of the past. And again he was right. That's what I admire this man is his sincerity is just fantastic, and that was what Solomon also saw him when he was at the meeting of the great leaders of nations and of great sages gathered at Massah. I do not have knowledge of the Holy. This man meant that he did not have the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The Enlightenment in the Protestant Reformation

The Protestant Reformation brought us back to Bible reading. Because the bible was a totally unknown book. And the Bible has to be studied in the churches during the schools dominicais.Durante centuries the Roman Catholic church departed from the scriptures. And do not teach the scriptures to his people, and on the contrary, it was forbidden to read that this called "black book" .Pois who dare read it would get crazy, said the priests in their old orthodoxy church, or will crazy in discovering the truth of faith that saves us in Christ Jesus.

Another cause of ignorance was the "Latin Mass" or worship of praise to God in Latin. "And so the poor and" illiterate hillbillies "could not understand anything anyway. And the statistics of our MEC and the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) research that is done to measure the level of data collected in all areas of knowledge humano.E IBGE itself today, the computer age in the "alert" that in certain northern city and Brazilian northeastern Brazil we still have on average up to 30% of illiterates from his people. that is, people can not read nor write your own name in Portuguese. Now amazingly brothers! Imagine read and understand a Mass that God was worshiped in the Latin language. no could understand nothing. the poor in spirit. and the reading of the bible was once again the lighting of the ideas and guidance of the Holy spirit in people's lives. and living with the shadow of death region, the light of the spirit and he shone again illuminated his church. And from then on, new missionaries came to preach worldwide.
     In the figure below shows the descent and illumination of the Holy Spirit upon the church of Christ

                                                    

But the Bible tells us with certainty that we are starting; Yes, We're way to the stars ...? that is, we are on the way to "a new heaven and a new earth." We are pilgrims and strangers here, so we said the holy bible. Thus these terms in quotes the apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthians church. (II Cor 5: 1-2) In adds the Apostle Paul said, "Brothers, we know that if our earthly house (on this planet) this tabernacle (body) were dissolved or both come undone (ie our body and our house is called planet earth.) Still we must keep trusting God for, we have from God a preparation building in the heavens, not made by human hands, but we will have an eternal home in heaven above, made by God as he directed in Christ Jesus saying, "Do not be troubled your heart (not fatigue your heart) So believe in God and believe also in me, because in my Father's house are many mansions (empty waiting for us), and if it were otherwise; I would not tell you, and I go to prepare a place for you .... "(John 14: 1-4) And where there will be a new government with peace and joy, and there will be established a new millennium of peace on earth and let us pray brothers. God help us.

MY EXPERIENCE FAITH



"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile".(Rom.1:16)

In the time of generations aimlessly ...

Our age is characterized by pessimism in the sense of inadequacy to reality, by loitering in the grief of living. This generation feels lost, has no project in which to cling. And it led to the addiction to drink, the vices, the attraction by night and death, which was characterized evil of the century. These are the features present in the works of romantic authors in Brasil, such as Alvares de Azevedo, and even plus satanic themes, and this trend dragged to other writers such as Casimiro de Abreu, Fagundes Varela and Junqueira Freire and others.
                                                  


But what is youth? Entry into the youth becomes the stage of adolescence and is characterized by biological, psychological and social integration transformations and assume responsibilities, seek independence and to demonstrate self-sufficiency, among other bodily, psychological signs. Unlike "adulthood" (finish school, work, marry, have a home and have children) Young wins own outlines in historical, social and distinct cultural depending on the social, cultural diversity, gender diversity and to even the territorial differences are linked to the formation of different modes of experiencing youth. (From the book of the second book of the training of teachers MEC 2014)

So Go into all the world and preach the gospel who believes and is baptized shall be saved ... Jesus Christ "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, it would be as sounding brass or as the bell tine. and though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. and though I bestow all my fortune to the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, I gain nothing. " 1 Corinthians 13: 1-3

I - MY EXPERIENCE IN PRESBITERIAN CHURCH 


I lived my youth in time of a Brazil full of social conflict. And it seems that our philosophers and romantic writers of our era understood well and described aptly this chaos in history, were years of our youth turmoil, and everything that happened in the minds and hearts of our young Brazilians. They were years of indecision, were years of social unrest, it was time of the military coup, dictatorship of our time in Brazil, and could not protest and do not talk too much but, the military wanted to fit in the National Security Law; and worse than that, anything to be done they have threatened us in the frame as "communist" and or "subversive" of the country. 
And they told us more; "All subversive sooner or later will become shark food"; and that they wanted to say "if we troubled they would throw us into the sea, drowning, and so turn food fish or sharks. And then, God forbid, that we all Brazilian citizens or did not have much fear. And so they always threatened in any more. And constantly we see the tanks rolling by the country's major centers the military needed to demonstrate strength and power to continue running the country it is certain that saying:.. "demonstrating great courage is a great sign of fear, and show much fear, may be a sign of great courage .... "difficult time was that good times or to others. But here I speak a little of me, I speak as a private citizen of the people suffering internal crises and existential external crises of human life. and my human flight was to find and take refuge in a good church that received me in fact and truth.

And it all happened in 1973 I had my 21 years old, and when I was downtown headquarters, lived at the time in Curitiba-PR. As my origins are from the fields and come from a humble family. After leaving the barracks began to feel very lonely, and as my family lived far away, I felt even more lonely in a big city. so I started to look for a church where I could fit me, place where would accept me as a brother and as a friend. And visited several churches, visited the Church Assembly, visited Foursquare Church, went on several, but did not feel comfortable in any delas.Até that one day, met in Curitiba, a friend who worked as a missionary of the International Gideons, his name was sr. Altamiro was a sales professional, he was a salesman of meat derived products, working in the city of Curitiba and the city of Joinville-SC. approximate distance of 120 Kilometres from the city of Joinville to Curitiba.


Talking to mr.Altamiro asked him to give me a ride to the city of Joinville, place where the firm sent me to work. Had arranged a job, I was beginning to work with sales of water filters. He told me, we just have a problem, I'll leave at 4 am, the time is good for you asked me? I said, okay, as I had only a few bucks in my pocket, ten real, I thought to myself, it was a chance to save a few bucks. On the day early in the morning, we went to work with sales in the city of Joinville- SC. And so I would try to sell water filters and it would sell its meat-based products. In fact, he already had a clientele well formed in the city.

Who would be better? he did well, but I could not sell anything. And during the trip to Joinville that takes about two hours path, went with "black fuskão" your Altamiro, snoring and black skirt smoke and said he does not care companion, "Fuska're smoking" bad he's good, we we will get there, and you will sell well, I guarantee you. And I think he spoke this because he noticed that I was afraid to give me bad in sales that I had taken. But it was the encouragement! It was my first experience in sales. What a disappointment, I did not feel good right now.

And the night in the hotel sitting in the reception room, started talking about various subjects, until we started talking about God, reading the Bible and about salvation in Jesus Christ. He asked me: You need to accept Christ and change your life. At this time I walked quite depressed and lonely, afraid of failure, and was afraid of having to go back to work in the garden, the place where I had come from the city Massaranduba. I said to myself: Back to the farm never, never! And I kept thinking to myself: Will I have to go back to Rocinha? (Cut cane, make molasses, cassava planting, treat the cows etc.) Anyway, do all that fields service. God forbid that I feared me. And anxiety and even depression began threatening me, and then needed a therapeutic community support, I needed a family, a church to support me; I felt that lack. So I should get along any profession in the big city. Whatever wherever you go. That was when I told him:

--- I'm getting discouraged, I have visited several churches and could not fit me in any of them, what would be wrong with me, I asked?

-- Mr. Altamiro noticed my agony and replied:

You are doing the wrong thing, first accept Jesus Christ and then look for a church that receives as you are ...!

--- And then he invited me to accept Christ under the direction of the booklet written in the four spiritual laws;

--- So it was this simple moment I accepted Christ Jesus, then gave me a copy of the New Testament of the Gideons International, and another report of the Central Presbyterian Church of Curitiba, and then he added:

--- Now next Sunday's there, I'll wait in the church and we will pray for you anymore. Returned from Joinville to Curitiba, he had not sold anything, but felt that something would change in my life. The following Sunday at 9 am, there I was in the Presbyterian Church of Curitiba. And to my surprise when I arrived at church on Sunday marked, there he was with his wife Dona Judith, his daughter Eliane. He introduced me to Sunday School teacher, then was enrolled as a student visitante.Todos Sunday there I was, attending Sunday School and Sunday evening services, was only a joy, I started having friends and make friends and friends in the Church. Initially it was difficult to fit in with me faithful of the Church, but gradually I adapted myself. After two years of attendance at Sunday School, I professed my public profession of faith with the pastors Rev. Elias Abraham and Rev. Osvaldo, they were the pastors of the Presbyterian Church in my time. And so in 1977 I was sent to the Presbyterian Seminary in Campinas by the Church and the Presbytery of Curitiba.

In 1977 the Church of Curitiba Central Presbyterian Presbytery of Curitiba after undergoing several sabatinadas questions and answers about the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church; Finally Church leaders decided to send me to the Seminary of Campinas - SP, was called SPS. I had received a full scholarship, with paid study, accommodation etc., that joy, that happy day in my life. But when I arrived at the seminar, I was estasiado and spent hours staring at the walls of that old house of Brazil Avenue in Campinas. As I was happy and gratified to have entry into this seminar. That contagious joy, it gave me the hope of better times, felt that angels from heaven said Amen, and said more fine young man, until finally you made the right choice, here is your place, a good place for you to stay, study and prepare adequately for life. Oh Happy Day! Oh thank God! But the great struggle with trials and suffering that I never imagined would be in the future.

And in 1980 after five years, I have finished my course Bachelor and theology, and from then on thought in my mind, and when he judged me understand a lot about the Presbyterian doctrine and the Bible, but it was pure deception mine and ours. It was anyway we all bachelors thought at the time. And I wanted to be a pastor full-time, but life has shown me the other side of the coin, I had to go to work in secular life because I did not have conditions to find a church to give me special conditions of living. And then I had to go to work as a seller of books, as a realtor, as a teacher in public schools etc.
