Obtaining the King's Favour 3 (The Wise)

Obtaining the King's Favour 3 (The Wise)
Proverbs 13:1

Proverbs 13:1 (BBE) A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.

Malachi 1:6 (GNT)
The Lord Almighty says to the priests, “Children honor their parents, and servants honor their masters. I am your father—why don't you honor me? I am your master—why don't you respect me? You despise me, and yet you ask, ‘How have we despised you?’

No Wisdom, No Favour!
Master Disrespected, No Favour!!
Father Dishonoured, No Favour!!!

From the above Scriptures and illustration, we see that honouring and respecting fathers and masters respectively yield to favour. A loyal and respectful son will always be at advantage over a proud, disobedient and despising son.

Like we saw days back, God wants to favour us - in our finances, health, offices, status and otherwise (total flavoured life); but where is our honour (reverential fear) for Him.

The Bible recorded that Jesus and others grew and were in Favour with both man and God. What gave them total favoured life? Obedience to the Father's instructions.

Do you love instruction, correction and discipline? If yes then you're on your way to having a total favoured life. Joshua was told to love God's instructions to have good success; likewise Timothy.

Brethren, having success (the King's favour) can't be gotten without honouring (reverential fear, love). There is great hope of those that reverence their parents. There is little hope of any who will not hear those that deal faithfully with them.

Shalom!!!

Heart Not Garment - 2

"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

It Doesn't Matter

Shalom! Child of God, it doesn't matter where sugarcane is planted, it will definitely be sweet. Light always Chase away darkness both in the physical and in the spiritual. I decree and declare today and always that, you will never taste bitterness, sorrow, sadness, failure and shame this month. Your life will be filled with joy and happiness. Everything God Almighty has created will work in your favour In Jesus Name. Much love

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15 MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable. Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
