Do you wish to know the secrets of God?

 

For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,

But His secret counsel is with the upright.

Proverbs 3:32

 

Some people think that God is mysterious and they cannot really know Him, however the scripture above tells us that God does share His secret counsel with certain groups of people. For example, God made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the people of Israel (Psalm 103:7). So if you wish to know the secrets of the Lord, this is what you must do:

 

1, Be upright before God

To know the secrets of the Lord we must be upright before Him. To be upright is to have a right relationship with God and to live a right life before Him. We can have a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ:

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT)

 

2, Fear God

To know the secrets of God we must fear and reverence Him because of Who He is and how awesome He is:

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and He will shew them His covenant.

Psalm 25:14 (KJV)

 

3, Call on the Lord

To know the secrets of the Lord, we can call on the Lord and He promises to answer us:

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Jeremiah 33:3

Prayer

Dear Lord, I am calling on You to show me great and mighty things which I do not know in Jesus name.

What is the secret of obtaining favor with God and people Part 2

Wednesday 17th May 2017

Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.

Proverbs 3:3-4 (NLT)

Last week, we learned that to obtain favor with God and people, we must be loyal, kind, respect God and believe in Jesus Christ. Today we will explore three more secrets to obtaining favor:

1. Be humble

Humility is having a deep sense of one’s (moral) littleness; modesty, and lowliness of mind. It is being aware that we are nothing without the grace of God upon our lives and therefore having total dependence on God. When we humble ourselves we will obtain favor from God:

Toward the scorners He is scornful, but to the humble He gives favor.

Proverbs 3:34 (ESV) 

2. Seek God’s favor

God says we will find Him when we seek Him with all of our heart. Therefore as we develop a relationship with Him, we can, like the Psalmist ask God to shower us with His favor:

Remember me, O Lord, when You show favor to Your people; help me when You save them

Psalm 106: 4 (ESV)

3. Seek God’s Kingdom first

When we put God first in everything we do, and seek for the establishment of His kingdom here on earth, He gives us other things that we did not ask for including favor:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please remember me when You show favor to Your people; help me when You save them in Jesus name.

God has supernatural means of provision

Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”

Matthew 17:27

God is a supernatural God of provision able to exceed our every expectation. In the context of Matthew 17:27, Jesus pays His and His disciples taxes through supernatural means. The king’s taxes are paid through Jesus instruction to go to the sea and to cast a hook for a fish so they will have a suitable quantity of money to pay (Matthew 17:27). This scripture tells us the following:

1, God is creative and can resolve any situation

God is able to make an impossible situation work out. There was no means of provision to pay the kings taxes however, Jesus possessed the supernatural power of God to prophecy into the situation that a fish would supply money. The disciple did as instructed in the prophecy, and the prophecy came to pass. God met the need that was spoken into existence, the need for money, before it ever manifested. Once adequate action was taken the money manifested.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

2, God’s currency is faith

God’s currency is in faith. God can meet all our needs including financial needs, provided we have the faith to speak what we need into existence.

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.  For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea’, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Mark 11:22-24

No matter the obstacle, or how big the situation looks. Even if it looks like a big mountain God can make a way where there appears to be no way.

Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:19

Summary

We serve a mighty God who can make supernatural financial provision for us to overcome any situation and circumstance that appears to have no solution.  God’s creative power rests in making something out of nothing for we serve a God who created a complex world with order, from nothing more than His supernatural words and power.

How do we become people of integrity?

For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it.

Proverbs 2:21 (NLT)

We are told that the godly will dwell in the land and those with integrity will remain in it. So the question today is, how do we become people of integrity?

1, Keep to your word

To be a person of integrity is to be a person that keeps your word even when it is not convenient. It is easy to make a commitment however sometimes keeping them is very difficult, but a person with integrity will do what they said even if it’s not convenient:

Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the LORD, and keep their promises even when it hurts.

Psalm 15:4

2, Be honest

Honesty is a true test of integrity. When you are honest it means that you tell the truth even if it doesn’t suit you. We are told to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matthew 5:37):

Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill? Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.

Psalm 15:1-2 (NLT)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to be a person of integrity. Help me to keep to my word and to be honest in everything I do in Jesus name.

When you sew the little you have, God will multiply it

 

Thursday 6th April 2017

Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.

Matthew 15:34-37

1, God is miraculous

God is without limitation. Nothing is too difficult for God. We serve a God that can serve a multitude of thousands of people,with seven loaves of bread and fish. We can trust in God for our daily needs as well as financial provision.  No need is toodifficult for God to meet. When God meets our needs there is room for more. In Matthew 15:34-37 fragments of food are left behind which indicates that God is more than able to fulfil our needs.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

2, God is our provider

God provides for our needs as Matthew 15:34-37 indicates. There is no need to difficult in our life for God to cater to. Even when the odds are stacked against us God can make away. In 2^nd Kings Chapter 19 and 20 we are introduced to King Hezekiah. King Hezekiah is in a desperate situation and is concerned that the King of Assyria will destroy his nation. He is counselled not to trust in God’s ability to come through for him. He petitions God by prayer and puts faith in God. God comes through for him and destroys the Assyrian King and his army.  This shows that no matter how difficult the task or how insurmountable the odds, God can meet the need.

“Both riches and honour come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.”

1 Chronicles 29:12

3, Nothing is too difficult for God

God created the world from nothing. How much more so can he do for us. We serve a God whose currency is faith. When we step out in God confidence and in God’s strength and do not lean upon our own understanding, but seek the wisdom of God, breakthrough occurs (Proverbs 3:5-6). Several bible characters overcame harrowing odds and prevailed. David had to lean upon God many times in his defence against King Saul and in his many battles. Joseph who was sold into slavery by his brothers went onto become a ruler and forgave his brothers when he could have destroyed them (Genesis 37-50), and Job who overcame immense suffering and loss, proved his faithfulness to God during his suffering and had his life restored. This can be read about in the book of Job.

‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

Jeremiah 32:17

Summary

We serve a mighty God who is more than able to supply all our needs. When we look to God He does what man cannot do. He is able to perform miracles like feed thousands people from a few loaves of bread and fish, and still have a generous amount of fragments remaining. God can and will meet all our needs when we put Him and His needs first in our life.

God desires for us to be fruitful

Thursday 23rd March 2017

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13:23

God’s desire is that we bear fruit on a daily basis. In order to bear fruit we must provide the best foundations for ourselves. If the ground is not good then we cannot expect to bear fruit in great numbers, as the scripture above mentions. God desires us to bear fruit not just spiritually but also in our health, emotions and finances. Its God’s desire we flourish in all areas (3 John 1:2). So how do we hear the word, understand it and then bear good fruit?

1, We must keep our heart pure

The scriptures warn us that in order to bear an abundance of good fruit we need to have a pure heart and be patient.

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

Luke 8:15

We need to make sure we are in right standing with God and avoid the things God advises us to not entertain such as immorality, idolatry and anger (Galatians 5:19-21).

2, Sew in the spirit and not in the flesh

In order to sew on good ground and reap an abundance of fruit we need to sew in the spirit and not in the flesh. The Bible warns us that the things of the flesh reap corruption, whereas the things of the Spirit are where everlasting life resides.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Galatians 6:8

3, Relying upon God’s strength and not our own.

In order to be successful in bearing an abundance of fruit, including financial gain we need to rely upon God’s strength and not our own.  We need to pray and the Holy Spirit will give us the strength and wisdom to do God’s will according to His desire and not our own. Outside of Gods strength we rely upon the flesh and we will ultimately fail.

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

1 Colossians 9:10 

Summary

In summary we can bear fruit in the Lord provided we keep our hearts pure. We need to have right standing before God and resist the desire to sin. When we do sin we can repent for our God is ever merciful (Psalm 103:10). We need to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh and do this in God’s strength and wisdom and not our own. When we have right standing with God, God’s answers to our prayers are yes and amen (2^nd Corinthians 1:20). We can then expect to bear fruit, including fruits for our finances.

We must bind the strong man over our finances and take back our goods

Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

Matthew 12:29

This scripture asks us how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Once the strong man is bound then we can plunder his house. In this case once we bind Satan the strong man we can take authority and plunder his influence over us. When Satan no longer has influence over us we can expect to prosper in all areas of our life including the area of financial stability.

1, Bind the strong man

The “strong man” is Satan who possesses, or works in human beings by means of his wicked spirits. Satan is as clearly a person as the Lord Jesus Christ is a Person! The Lord Jesus Christ dwells in those He redeems by His Spirit, Who imparts to them the very life of the Son of God, thus making them children of God. In the same way the prince of darkness has influence over the fallen race of Adam. Until we know how to take heed to the Lord’s warning and “FIRST bind the strong man,” the attempts we make to “spoil his goods” will only enrage him, and enable him to strengthen his armour, and guard his palace in peace. The strong man must be bound with authority in the name of Jesus.

2, Take authority over the strong man and demand what’s rightfully yours

In the authority we have in the name of Jesus we can tear down the strong man and bind his power from working in our life.

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Luke 10:19

We have the authority in the name of Jesus to have dominion over all the power of the enemy and take back what belongs to us. God promises us abundance. It’s God will that we live in authority, in accordance with God’s will for our life, and to live in financial abundance as a by product of that authority. John 10:10.

3, Walk in your authority over the strongman

Once we take authority over the strong man/enemy, in the name of Jesus, we can begin to live a life of abundance and expect to be blessed in all areas of our life. The bible reminds us that God gives us wisdom to acquire wealth.

And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:18

Summary

God wants us to take authority over the enemy and then to plunder his house. We can only plunder the house of the enemy once we have bound the enemy. Once the enemy is bound we can expect to live in the promises of God and to live life’s of abundance. It is God’s will for us to proper in all areas of our life, including the financial arena. (Psalm 92:12

God is the master money is the servant

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon

Matthew 6:24

 

God is the master money is the servant

God’s utmost desire is for us to worship Him alone. Essentially the Bible teaches us that money is our servant and that God is our master. This is evident in the scripture Matthew 6:24. God is aware that we have various needs and our financial need is one of the important needs God acknowledges. God cautions us in His word to take ownership of money as a servant to fulfil our needs and not a master that has authority over us. God wants us to have a balanced relationship with money.

1, God wants us to have money.

God desires that we live abundantly. He desires that we have money to meet all our needs. God’s cautionary warning comes into play when the sovereign relationship He desires with him is questioned. In the reference to “Mammon,” in the scripture above, we are warned to not try and serve both God and money at the same. Mammon is a word that occurs in various ancient languages, meaning wealth or greed, often personified as a false deity. In simple everyday terms, that final statement of Jesus means, “You cannot serve both God and money.”

2, Money shouldn’t be the final authority in our life

God desires that He is the final authority in our life. King Solomon the wisest and wealthiest man in the world answers many of life’s tough questions in the Bible book of Ecclesiastes. Out of all King Solomon’s wisdom his final conclusion was that we need to fear God and obey God’s commandments. Ecclesiastes 12:13. This goes to show us that God desires to be at the centre of our life, since all things belong to him and it’s only by his grace that we can do anything.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all

Ecclesiastes 12:13

3, God desires obedience more than anything

God wants our desires to line up with His. God’s greatest desire is that we are obedient to His commandments. In the Bible it is clear that when we obey and listen to God we are blessed. When we lose faith or ignore God’s commandants we fall outside of the will of God and can suffer detrimentally. This is evident in chapter 1 Samuel 15. In this Bible story King Saul fails to follow God’s direction to completely destroy and kill King Agag and his possessions. Saul instead decided to take King Agag alive and take some of the plunder which he went on to justify to the prophet Samuel. The prophet Samuel rebukes King Saul telling him that obedience is better than sacrifice. As a result of King Saul’s disobedience he lost his kingship. He received severe consequences for a severe act of disobedience.

Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.

Samuel 15:22

 

Summary

In conclusion it is clear that God desires that we serve Him first above anything else. It is made apparent that we cannot serve two masters. God wants us to be his first desire. He wants us to make money a servant and not a master. This is because He desires us to be obedient and have full respect for his sovereignty. God desires that we fear Him and obey all his commandments as wise king Solomon advised us to do.

You must claim what is rightfully yours

But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. And they came near before Eleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore, according to the commandment of the Lord, he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers.

Joshua 17:3-4

In this story, the daughters of Zelophehad decided to go to the leaders of Israel and claim their father’s inheritance that they would have received if they were sons. What lessons can we learn from these daughters that we too can apply to our own lives?

1. We must know our inheritance

These daughters went up to Eleazar the Priest and Joshua the Leader and told them what the Lord had commanded Moses, which was to give them an inheritance among their brothers.

Likewise, we too must know what God has promised us through His Word. We get to know the promises of God when we read the Bible on a daily basis to remind ourselves of God’s promises because it is God that said we must bring things to His remembrance:

Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

Isaiah 43:26 (KJV)

2. We must be bold in claiming our inheritance

Once the daughters knew their inheritance, they took a bold action in going to the leaders of Israel and claiming what was rightfully theirs.

Likewise, we too must have the confidence to approach God boldly concerning His promises for our lives which has not yet manifested:

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Hebrews 4:16 (NLT)

3. We must be fearless when we stand before rulers

The daughters of Zelophehad did not consider that they were women and probably thus not allowed to stand before the Priest and the Leader. They did not care about their social standing but were instead determined to claim what was rightfully theirs.

We must therefore also disregard our social standing and instead claim all the promises of God, regardless of who we have to stand before. The Lord promised that when we stand before important people He will give us the right things to say:

You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

Matthew 10:18-20 (NKJV)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please give me the boldness to claim what You have promised me in Your Word in Jesus name, amen.

How can you become courageous?

These Levite officials must also say to the people, ‘Is there any man here who has lost his courage and is afraid? He should go back home. Then he will not cause the other soldiers to lose their courage too.’

Deuteronomy 20:8 (ERV)

 In this Scripture, Moses is giving instructions to the Israelite’s about how they were to eliminate people who were not qualified to go to war. The Levites officials (Priests) were to ask whether there were any men who had lost their courage and was afraid. Such men were ordered to go back home because if they didn’t they would cause the other soldiers to lose their courage too.

This teaches us several important principles:

1. When you are embarking on a new venture you do not need people who are not courageous around you;
2. You also do not need people who are fearful;
3. Lack of courage and fear is contagious therefore we must recognise these emotions in ourselves and cast them out through the power in the Blood of Jesus.

How can you become courageous?

The solution to lack of courage and fear is obedience to the Word of God:

Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9 (ERV)

1. Be strong – to be strong is to be alert, physically (on foot) or mentally (in courage), be steadfastly minded that no matter what happens in life you are going to make it;
2. Be brave – to be brave you must be like the lion that is the warrior of the animals and runs from nothing. Whatever God tells you to do take bold steps towards it and whatever adversity comes your way make a resolve to stand firm;
3. Don’t be afraid – it doesn’t mean fear will not try to grip you, but you should attack fear with the Word of God. Just like Jesus when He was tempted, use the Word of God and the spirit of fear will eventually have to bow at the name of Jesus: ‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind’ (2 Timothy 1:7);
4. Remember that The Lord your God is with you wherever you go – remember no matter where you are you are never alone because God is with you – Psalm 23:4 tells us that “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”.

 So this week make a choice to be courageous, by being:

1. Strong
2. Brave
3. Not afraid and
4. Remember the Lord Your God is with you.
