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!!!

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"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.

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...
