DISHONOR:

1. If they really love you, they will honor you. DISHONOR leads to dismissal.

2. You cannot sow “DISHONOR” seed & call it a “just being honest” seed. You may not know the difference but your harvest will.

3. If a person disrespects you, no matter how much you love them ,don’t let them DISHONOR you for too long. Know when to walk away.

4. NEVER DISHONOR those that have come before you, even if you disagree with them. DISHONOR is the response of a fool.

5. Disrespect is the quickest way to experience disconnect. Favor is often erased by DISHONOR. Disrespect can turn connection into rejection.

6. Even if you don’t respect a person, it still doesn’t mean you should DISHONOR them. Sometimes honor is deserved, even when respect is not.

7. Social networking sometimes blurs the lines of respect. Its the place where common feels equal to kingship & DISHONOR is often the result.

8. Don’t ever reward DISHONOR with Gifts, Your Time, or Your Attention! Cut it Loose!

9. DISHONOR isn’t always about what you did or said, it can be something you didn’t do or say.

10. When they treat you with DISHONOR, still carry yourself with honor. Don’t give their actions the reaction they are looking for.

Hope this made little sense?

There is a land of pure delight

Where saints immortal reign,

Infinite day excludes the night,

And pleasures banish pain.

We’re feeding on the living Bread,

We’re drinking at the fountain head;

And who-so drinketh, Jesus said,

Shall never, never thirst again.

What! never thirst again?

No, never thirst again!

What! never thirst again?

No, never thirst again!

And who-so drinketh, Jesus said,

Shall never, never thirst again!

2:

There everlasting spring abides,

And never withering flowers;

Death, like a narrow sea, divides

his heavenly land from ours.

3:

O could we make our doubts remove

Those gloomy thoughts that rise,

And see the Canaan that we love

With unbeclouded eyes.

4:

Could we but climb where Moses stood

And view the landscape o’er

Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,

Should fright us from the shore.

Trembling At The Word Of God.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!

“….For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my Word…. ” [ISAIAH 66 v 1- 5].

Welcome to a season of New Dawn. Beloved, thank God we gather to study the Word and tremble at it in Jesus name. That’s where the transformation, reformation and regeneration comes from as we hears the Word and applies it in our lives as it brings the miraculous over our situations in Jesus name.

In Daniel 1 v 1 -10,we read about Ashpenaz – the prince of the eunuch. Another striking feature in him was that he feared the King to the extent of not taking lightly any instruction or command from him. You too are in the service of a king, but this time the KING of kings.

To what extent do you fear GOD? Your level of fear of God is not determined by your confession or pretentious acts but by your attitude to His Word in Jesus Christ precious name.

“….For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my Word….” [ISAIAH 66 v 1-5]. God knows exactly how you react to His instructions. There are Christians who receive God’s Word trembling in fear and reverence.

They will immediately write them down and regularly take a look at it as they take steps in obedience. But there are those who take God’s Word or voice with no seriousness.

They do not count it important enough to be written down. They may even trivialize it and before long forget it. How do you receive God’s Word? Do you tremble at His word or discuss away while the word is coming?

In DANIEL 1:5, 10, we are told that there was a daily provision made for those being prepared to stand in the Babylonian Palace. Ashpenaz ensured that nothing short of that provision was daily given to the trainees. When Daniel turned down the provision, Ashpenaz showed great concern.

In the same way, God, the KING of kings has a daily provision, message or word for His children. For each service in Church, there is a message from God. It is the duty of the Pastor-in. -charge to receive that message and deliver it to the congregation.

If you fail to do so, they will have stunted growth and be unable to stand shoulder high with their fellow believers from other churches or ministries. Ashpenaz feared that he could be in danger if the trainees fell short of the expectations of the King.

What care do you show concerning the flocks today? Don’t you know that as a leader who failed to nourish the congregation, your employment with the KING of kings is endangered? Adjust your attitude to God’s word today in Jesus name.

Dear friend, if you tremble at God’s word, enemies, situations and circumstances will tremble at your word in Jesus Christ amazing name and being on top of their influences and control in Jesus name-Amen- Shalom.

SALIENT POINTS:

1. The Power of Reverence.
2. Fear of the Lord: The Key to Transformation.
3. The Attitude of Obedience.
4. The Fear that Brings Victory.
5. A Heart that Trembles at God’s Word.
6. Obedience: The Mark of True Discipleship.
7. The King’s Expectations.
8. Adjusting Our Attitude to God’s Word.

BIBLE VERSES:

Psalm 119:161

My heart stands in awe of Your words.

Luke 12:5

Fear Him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is God-breathed.

James 1:22-25

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

Revelation 2:7

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says.

The Contrite Spirit (Isaiah 66:2)

The Fear of the Lord (Proverbs 1:7)

Listening and Obeying (Deuteronomy 5:1)

Guys I just bumped into my first wife. And she reminded me of our divorce.

Hehehehehe….let me tell you a story….So when I was 14yrs old my mother saw me kissing this other girl, we shall call her Hazel. I didn’t notice that my mother had noticed anything. When I got home my mother asked me to accompany her, so we walked to the other neighbourhood which Hazel lived in. We were approaching Hazel’s gate when I asked her what we wanted there, she said we going to collect something. Well, I suspected nothing so we walked into the yard. We walked passed Hazel who was washing her school shirt and socks by the outside tap. As we sat on the couch inside with Hazel’s mother sitting across us, my mother got down to business. I wish I could type what she said in Zulu.

She was like “Hai Mkhozi, so I’m getting off a taxi, when I threw my eyes across the road, your daughter and my son are locking tongues.”

Hazel’s mother maNyathi was like “haibo mkhozi, what are you telling me?” then she called Hazel into the house, she came in and sat next to her mother. maNyathi went “Hau girl, you don’t tell me that you have a man?… Meet your mother in-law.” All Hazel could do was look down. maNyathi pinched her thigh she started to sound like singer Maxwell.

Her mother then looked at me and said “So, my son in-law, where do you work and how much do you earn?…. When are you planning to pay lobola?.. When are you planning to take your wife and move into your house because there can’t be two women living under my roof?”….eish…i just kept quiet, the next thing i had a slap from my mom then she shouted” Answer! “, yoh… I had to pick up my ear on the ground and put it back. Then maNyathi made Hazel fetch her Winnie the pooh teddy bear. She said” So since you two have decided to do grown up things, this is your child, you will share custody of this bear, you will share custody fairly, should anything happen to this bear, you will know us. maNyathi was a nurse, I think I know what kind of a nurse she was.

Hazel was a crazy mother!!! Can you imagine she would bring the child to me while I’m playing soccer in the streets just because she wanted to go play skipping with her friends and we would fight, then she would put the child on the fence and go. The child would get hit by the ball because her mother left her on the fence. That day I got home with a dirty child, my mom made me wash it with warm water, sunlight, and a scrubbing brush. She then put her elbow in the water to test its temperature then slapped me on the back of my head like Junior from the comedy “my wife and kids” while screaming “this water is too hot to bath a child.

One Saturday morning Hazel had went to town with her mother so I asked my mom to babysit for me so I can go play soccer, she said “I will babysit for you, but you not going to play, you going to help bra Bhiza clean the garden, you are a parent now, you must act like one and work for your child.” Bra Bhiza was the neighbourhood gardener who did my mother’s garden as well.

Then she took me outside to the garden and asked bra Bhiza to give me a job, the pain of cutting grass while my friends were playing soccer in the street killed me.

Bra Bizza paid me R5, at least I was happy until my mother said “boy you better not spend that money and give it to your wife so she can buy things for your child.”

Finally my wife and her mother came over to fetch the baby and I gave her the money…that Saturday I saw her eating chocolates, I went to tell my mother that Hazel is eating the child’s money and she said” Keep me out of your marital affairs please. If you tell your mother about what your wife is doing, you will make your mother resent your wife because women are emotional creatures. Go find a group of married men like you and talk to them, you will find a solution”… I was so confused.

Sunday afternoon I saw Hazel with a mark on her foot, her mother had beaten her for forgetting the child behind the house.

We had a long talk and decided on a divorce, we called a family meeting during the week and told our parents we can’t do this anymore, they said what about the child, I told them it’s not a real child, I got a slap on the back of my head from my mom. So they let us go. Our parents remained close friends but as for us, from that day, we never spoke to each other for years, then her family moved. She tells me she has a baby boy with her husband and tells me her mother passed on last year. We told her husband the story and he couldn’t stop laughing.

But black mothers are abusive!!

Whenever I see a winnie the pooh bear, I get annoyed.

Lena Ma2000, when we warn you about things, listen!! We have been your age and we were rescued from our stupidity.

He who wakes from slumber at the Spirit’s voice,

daring here to number things unseen his choice;

He who casts his burden down at Jesus’ cross

Christ’s reproach his guerdon, all beside but loss.

He who, like the Martyrs, says ‘I will be crown’d’,

He whose one oblation is a life of love,

Knit in God’s salvation to the blest above.

4:

Shame upon you, legions of the heavenly King,

Citizens of regions past imagining!

What, with pipe and tabor dream away the light,

When He calls to labour and faith’s arduous fight?

5:

Jesus, Lord of glory, as we breast the tide,

Whisper Thou the story of the other side;

Where the Saints are casting crowns before Thy feet,

Safe for everlasting, in Thyself complete.

Hymn 784. In this world there are burdens we must bear.

1:

In this world there are burdens we must bear

And our eyes are made wet and dim with tear

There’s no grief, neither sorrow over there

In that land where there are no days nor years.

In that land where there are no days nor years

Neither sorrow nor anguish or tears

We shall duiell there in peace and our joy ne’er shall cease

In that land where there are no days nor years

2:

Tho’ we toil, oft our labour seems in vain

We have faith tho’ no fruit our vision cheers

But the Lord will all mystery make plain

In that land where there are no days nor years.

3:

So we smile as we labour day by day

And forget all our sorrows, griefs and fears

For when all earthly things have passed away

We shall dwell where there are no days nor years.

God Has Qualified Us. Qualified by God’s Grace. The Power of God’s Qualification.

“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Colossians 1:10“

God our Father Has qualified us to be partakers of His inheritance, and because of this, He wants us to walk worthy of our calling, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. He also wants us to be strengthened with all might according to His power. Finally, He wants us to walk in patience and joyfulness. Since we have been qualified by the Most High, we have to live according to His expectation so that He can give us more grace. With this grace, we can bear fruit for Him and live in joy.

God’s Kingdom Mindset. The Power of God’s Kingdom Principles.

Apply The Higher Principles Of The Kingdom.

For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Being born again, you’re not of this world; you belong in God’s Kingdom. You must carry this consciousness every day that you’re from above. In John 17:14, the Lord Jesus, referring to His disciples said, “… they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” So, you’re in this world, but not of this world.

The Lord Jesus beautifully exemplified this when he referred to Himself as the Son of man who is in heaven, even while physically present on earth: “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven” (John 3:13). He lived by the principles of the Kingdom of heaven while dwelling here among men, and He was victorious on every count.

As Christians, you’re to navigate this earthly life, guided by the spiritual principles and values of God’s Kingdom. This Kingdom-consciousness empowers you to live with a heavenly perspective here on earth. In fact, if you read our opening verse in context, it reveals that you’re meant to live from the inside out—from your spirit—and heaven is in your spirit. The Bible says, “…He has also set eternity in the human heart…” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV).

Live from heaven. This consciousness will impact everything about your life, including your health. This is important, because oftentimes, there’re those who wonder why certain “faithful” and committed Christians suffer terrible calamities. Some even get sick and die sick. Well, you have to understand that health isn’t a “reward” for serving God; the Bible doesn’t promise that.

Instead, the reward of your faithful service is reserved for you in heaven. When we get there, the rewards for our service will be announced, and we’ll return to the new earth to enjoy them. However, here on earth, it’s your responsibility to apply Kingdom principles—use the Word of God—to live transcendently and keep your physical body in health. So, keep your focus on the Word; speak it forth always. Be a doer of the Word and refuse to be moved by sensory perceptions.

PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege to live by your Word and apply Kingdom principles. I refuse to be moved by the challenges of this world, but I align my entire being—spirit, soul, and body—with your will and purposes. Thank you for the victory I have in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Lands the voyager at last,

Shelters each, no more to roam,

Where the wolf can ne’er invade,

All the love of Jesus learn

At His feet in paradise.

Can prevail to mar their peace

He who died for their release.

Let behind, we wait in trust

For the resurrection day.
