Honor Principle II
Eph.6:2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
God is big on honor. The Word of God says, “This is the first commandment with a promise. In essence, God is saying because I am particular about honor, if you obey this commandment, I will reward your obedience. I am sure you know that the “parents” God is referring to here is not limited to your biological parents alone. There are people that God has positioned in your life with the mandate to labour over you. It is your responsibility to identify them and honor them. For example, your life group leader or your department Read the rest of this entry
Honor Principle I
Eph.6:2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
We have been dealing with curses over the past few days and we are trusting God that because of this insight, there will be deliverances, in Jesus Name.
The eleventh cause of curses is neglecting or insulting parents. Please note that this curse is different from when a parent curses the child. A lot of people these days are either neglecting or insulting their parents. You may not be where you want to be financially but Read the rest of this entry
Amen!
Lam.3:37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? [KJV]
Who is it that says you will not fulfill your destiny and you are afraid, when God has not said it? Who can command things to happen without the Lord’s permission? Num.23:23 No curse can touch Jacob; no magic has any power against Israel. For now it will be said of Jacob, ‘What wonders God has done for Israel!’ Personalize it, replace Jacob in this Scripture with your own name and take the Scripture back to God.
Knowing IX
Prov.22:17–19 [TLB, emphasis added] “Listen to this wise advice; follow it closely, for it will do you good, and you can pass it on to others…”
When God wants to take you into a new experience with Him, what do you do? I would say the only response is to follow Him. And this is the beauty of relationship; the more you spend time with God, the more He reveals Himself to you. Has God not been beautiful beyond description even before you and I were formed? But as you spend time with Him, as you experience Him and tarry in His Presence, these things become real to you. Then you become better equipped to pick out His voice even amidst a crowd.
Knowing VII
Ph. 2:5 [NCV] “In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.”
Test #6 for determining God voice is: Does this make me more like Christ? God’s goal is to make us like Christ Jesus and God will not say anything that will make us less like Christ. Take note of all the Scripture references I have given these past few days. These tests are not made up. They are rooted in God’s Word and you can build your faith on God’s Word.
“In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.” One sure way to achieve this is, 2Cor.10:5 [GW] “We take every thought captive so that it is obedient to Christ.” Is the thought, the idea, the inspiration, or revelation obedient to Christ? Taking thoughts captive is something we must do on a day-to-day basis. Nobody is exempt, not even pastors. Read the rest of this entry
iWorship
Ps.147:10 (ERV) “War horses and powerful soldiers are not what he cares about. 11 The Lord enjoys people who worship him and trust in his faithful love. 12 Jerusalem, praise the Lord! Zion, praise your God!
Our final lesson about fine-tuning from prophets John the Baptist and Habakkuk is worship.
Lesson#6. I must worship: Spend time thanking God for speaking to you. Hab.3:2 [LB, emphasis added] “O Lord, now I have heard Your report, and I worship You in awe…” The truth is, when you receive God’s response to a question, it makes you love Him more! There is something about God’s response that deepens our love for Him. I hope you get this because no matter how hard I try, I will Read the rest of this entry
In Response To…
2 Chr.16:9 “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him”
The second way to provoke God’s favour and make heaven decide on your behalf is by Pleasing God. You can provoke favour by pleasing God. Pleasing God unlocks God’s favour. Ruben was in line to receive the double blessing but he went out of favour with Jacob. May you not go out of favour, in Jesus Name. Read the rest of this entry
You Be Jesus!
“Don’t be selfish; don’t live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself… Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus Christ, who, though He was God, did not demand and cling to His rights as God…” Phil. 2:3,5-6 [TLB]
God is instructing us to use Jesus as an example of how to be unselfish because the Bible states that “…though He was God, did not demand and cling to His rights as God…”. The story is told of a mother who had two sons- Jason and Jake. Jason was older than Jake. So the mother was making pancakes in the kitchen and as the boys perceived the smell, they came into the kitchen. As boys would do, they sat on the kitchen table waiting for the pancakes. And the mother saw this as a perfect opportunity to teach the boys Read the rest of this entry
His Steps
“But be sure in deciding these matters that you are living as God intended, marrying or not marrying in accordance with God’s direction and help, and accepting whatever situation God has put you into” 1Cor.7:17 [emphasis added].
Truth be told, not everyone will get married. I know it is an unpopular thing to say but it is in the Bible. However, if you desire to get married, you will in Jesus Name. When I read this Scripture some years ago, the first thing I did was to ask God to tell me if He wants me to get married or not. God saw my heart; I was ready to accept whatever He said. You know what God said to me, go and get married. It was almost like He was saying if everybody says they will not get married, you better not try it because you cannot cope. Go Read the rest of this entry
God Alone!
“Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.” Eph. 4:2 [TLB, emphasis added]
An anonymous quote reads, “You do not need a perfect relationship, you need someone who would not give up on you”. Will you be that person that would not give up on your loved ones? Go to God with disappointments and give it to God. The root of disappointment is expecting from a person what only God can deliver. When you expect from a person what only God can deliver, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. You are setting yourself up for disappointment when you expect another human being to Read the rest of this entry
