We want to receive grace through the characteristics of the people of Ephraim. If I explain today's text, the text is the aftermath of the war, and the tragedy of fraternity has occurred. The main reason was the people of Ephraim.
1. The people of Ephraim were complaining people.
In fact, they are a blessed tribe. Just entering the 12 tribes is a great blessing from God, and we have to live in gratitude for the rest of the tribes (the second son among the sons of Joseph). complained that
However, they are people who always complained when Gideon was victorious. There are people who give thanks in the place of complaining, and there are those who always complain in the place of gratitude. The descendants of Kora complained and received the wrath of God. Complaining of Christians is one of the enemies of faith (lazy, doubting, complaining).
2. The Ephraimites are jealous.
They are not truly out of war, but full of envy over the triumphs of others.
Even today, there are many unscrupulous bastards who try to get out like a loach in times of difficulty and take part in times of success.
Proverbs 14:30 Envy rots the bones. Acts 5:17 Envy is against the truth. 1 Samuel 18:7-8 The period of time is under the control of the devil.
When Saul was jealous, he was captured by the devil and suffered physical and spiritual suffering.
3. The people of Ephraim are different from the outside.
In a word, they are people with double religious personalities.
There are many cases in which wolves wear sheep's clothing as they are like angels in the church and have completely different appearances when they leave the church. A person who speaks and does nothing People who work and forget their mouths!
A person who wants to get without hard work!
In fact, Zephraim is a blessed tribe. I received the blessing of prosperity, and I received strong and courageous power.

Christians are blessed people. You have received the blessing of heaven, and you have received the blessing of eternal life. Christians are all thanksgiving people who have been saved by the blood of Jesus. We have to cast off the skin of our body and live with gratitude and do our best at all times.
