"12:10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down into Egypt to live temporarily, for the famine in the land was oppressive (intense and grievous)."

Isaiah 31:1 (Amplified Bible)

31:1 WOE TO those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses and trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek and consult the Lord!

1 John 2:15 (Amplified Bible)

2:15 Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

James 4:4 (Amplified Bible)

4:4 You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God.

Romans 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

12:2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

Our circumstances must never dictate who we are, but the Bible declares who we are.

Ephesians 2:6 (Amplified Bible)

2:6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

For example:

1. Financial needs - we tend to skip church services, especially during Sundays because we reason out that we will receive double pay or overtime pay for our work. Husbands usually go abroad leaving their family away from them. If we must choose between money and relationship, choose relationship. We MUST not do this. We need to strengthen more our tithes and offering to the LORD

Philippians 4:19 (Amplified Bible)

4:19 And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

2. Healing - we go to quack doctors, or use our money to be cured by different doctors. Our Healer is JESUS, first and foremost, we come to JESUS daily for our healing everyday.
