THE FATTED CALF
Nothing reveals the state of a Man's heart better than his
disposition to money and luxury. Apostle James, a preacher of practical
Christian Living in Chapter five of his book when you read from verses one to
six condemned strongly fraudsters and people who get their wealth through
dishonest means, my emphasis is on the fifth verse.
Ye have lived in pleasure on the
earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of
slaughter. James 5:5 (KJV)
The day of Slaughter is a figure of speech for describing
the concept of fatted calf. In Agriculture, the fatted calf is separated from
the rest of the cow and it is kept in a separate place in the ranch.
The rancher will then feed the calf the best of grass till it
become very fat. The essence of feeding it that much is to make the calf very fat
and prepare it for slaughter.
Don't envy the wicked!
That yahoo boy in your area don't envy him at all, is it
because of the exotic cars he drives around or his luxurious apartment?
Why will you envy the fatted calf?
They are heading for destruction!
