The Honour and the Anointing Part 7

The Honour and the Anointing Part 7
Scripture: Psalm 15:1-4
Topic: The Honour and The Anointing Part 7

We shall in this quiet time begin a series in which we see clearly the relationship between honour and the anointing. I trust the Lord that point by point you will come to the place of honour, and enjoy the fruit of honour.

9. Honouring the anointed will result in your establishment

“Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord.  He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not”
                                                                                                                                                    Psalm 15:1-4
Who is going to experience the power of God and dwell in the holy hill of God?  Someone who despises and rejects evil men.  Not only does he despise and reject evil men, but he honours people who fear God. You see, it is not enough to despise and reject evil. You must rise up and honour people who fear God. It is the servants of the Lord who fear God. It is the anointed men who are servants of the Lord and who fear the Lord. You must decide to become one of the people who fear the Lord.  

I have attended a number of different funerals.  At funerals you have an idea of how a person lived. What a joy it is to attend the funeral of someone who lived in and around the church; who feared God and who served God with his life. The choirs of the church, the groups in the church and even the pastors acknowledge that this dead person once lived his life in the fear of God.  He certainly would not have been perfect but he lived in the fear of God. Honouring God is an important thing because it provokes the blessing of the Lord.

    What a blessed word! It's not enough to despise and hate evil. I must rise up and honour God's servants who fear Him in order to provoke God's blessings.

    Amen!!! It is not enough to despise or reject evil. I must rise up and honour the anointed men who are the servants of God who fear the Lord.
    I might not be perfect but must live in the fear of God.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
