Nehemiah chapter 9, summarised the Israelites journey from the time God chose Abraham to be the father of the nation of Israel, their exodus out of Egypt, their exile until their restoration to their homeland in Judah.

Nehemiah emphasized that God was with His people in every situation whether good or bad.

The children of Israel spent forty years in the wilderness where the Lord fed them with bread from heaven and water from the rock. Their clothes never worn out nor their shoes worn out on their feet (Deuteronomy 29:5).

God led them through the wilderness by a pillar of cloud and fire to give them light. God was always with the people in spite of their stubborn and rebellious behaviour.

When they sinned, God delivered them into the hands of the enemy, but when they cried out to God He heard and saved them.

Irrespective of the people’s behavior, the Lord demonstrated His everlasting mercy and forgiveness to them.

But they and our fathers acted proudly, hardened their necks, and did not heed Your commandments. They refused to obey, and they were not mindful of Your wonders that You did among them.

But they hardened their neck and in their rebellion they appointed a leader to return to their bondage. But You are God, ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness, and did not forsake them. (Nehemiah 9:16-17)

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.

You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
