FRUITFUL LAND OF MOAB

Jeremiah 48:33 Gladness and joy have been taken away from the FRUITFUL LAND of Moab; I have made the wine cease from the winepresses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; the shouting is not the shout of joy.”

Did we not hear the phrase ‘ all that glitters is not gold?’, likewise, everything that looks beautiful on the outside and captivating does not necessarily have to be connected with God. Are you listening? This is very important teaching for the youth today because there is desperate chase for money, fame, popularity and wealth and the people think ‘ the ultimate goal of life is to amass wealth’ which they think is security.  Alas, this is deception and the lie of the enemy. Did not Jesus say,” in Luke 12:20 “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?” The rich man was called a "fool" because he assumed he had many years of life ahead of him and placed his hope and security in his possessions rather than in God, making no preparation for eternity. Anybody listening?

People are ready to attend 3 hours of online Master class on ‘how to become successful, how to become a millionaire, how to win the job interview’ and so on; however, Bible Study, midweek fellowship, Fasting prayers, Church service and many other spiritual meetings are empty because focus of Christians is on the world and its riches rather than on God and eternity.

I asked the Lord, ‘why was Moab a prosperous and fruitful land’ despite its idol worship and I started meditating on it, here I write the revelations that I received.  
Moab was historically known for its fertile land, orchards, and vineyards, which provided both physical sustenance and a source of great joy and celebration for its people. The phrase "fruitful field" or "plentiful field" depicts their prosperity.  Whenever a household, city or nation is blessed, they also provide various other blessings like job opportunities, business and thereby they become a reservoir of blessings and there is joy and celebration.
Moab was fertile because it is situated in an area with rivers and springs that made it naturally fertile, worship of deities like Baal, Anat, and Astarte was related to fertility and rain, but this was a cultural and religious practice of the people, not a cause for the land's fruitfulness.

Reason for judgment: The fall of Moab is a result of its pride and self-reliance, particularly its reliance on its own gods and strength rather than on the sovereign Lord

They looked successful, fruitful, yet, alas they were not useful and valuable for he Kingdom of God.

Do not try to ‘Shoehorn’ God into your tight, bulging schedule, or giving Him the last dregs of the day - sleepy and tired, instead give Him the top priority in your life.  He is your KING!
