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.

Harvest a good group

   But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Mark 4:8

In order that a good harvest be yielded, certain conditions are essential. Sunlight, water as well fertile soil is required. The season for harvesting a crop needs to be correct, so the crop will grow.  When ideal conditions are met as predetermined by God ‘s creative hand, an abundant harvest is possible. In order to bear a fruitful financial harvest in our life, we will explore some crucial things God tells us for His blessing.

1, Acknowledge God

To harvest abundance in our lives, including financial abundance, it’s important to first and foremost acknowledge God. All good things come from God (James 1:17). If we invest in God and get to know Him and do as He tells us, we will reap accordingly.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 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 6:7-8

2, Faith is fundamental

In order to grow in our relationship with God, we need to have faith. God rewards faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith is so important to God, that He reassures us that we all have a measure of faith (Romans 12:3).

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6

3, God rewards us according to the cleanliness of our hands

God rewards those that listen to His word. Obedience is important from the book of Genesis to Revelation. We are called to live a life of obedience (Genesis 22:18). The word advises us that God rewards us according to the cleanliness of our hands. As such, it is important that we are obedient to God since obedience is a form of worship to God (Romans 12:1).

The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

Psalm 18:24

Summary

When we acknowledge God and walk in faith and obedience, God has no reason not to be faithful to His word.  God promises us to give us the desires of heart. When we please God and put Him first by honouring what He tells us to do in His word, God promises to reward us according to the cleanliness of our hands and according to the promises in His word.

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) 

  1. 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)

  1. 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 is a shield for the upright

Wednesday 15 March 2017

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

Proverbs 2:7

 

This verse tells us that God actually stores up sound wisdom for those who walk uprightly, He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. What is a shield?

A shield is a gate or door (or “door-shaped”); used of the large, oblong ancient Roman shield (which looked like a full door), large enough to provide full protection from attack. Why do we need the Lord as our shield?

  1. He provides protection

The Lord provides protection for the person who has a right relationship with Him. This protection always extinguishes (takes the fire out of) the missiles of the enemy so that he cannot harm us:

God protects me like a shield; He saves those whose hearts are right

Psalm 7:10 (NCV)

  1. The Lord gives us faith

Every believer has been given a measure of faith and faith is described as a shield that provides protection against the fiery darts of the wicked:

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked

Ephesians 6:16 (NKJV)

  1. The Lord provides favour

The righteous are surrounded with favour as with a shield. Favour is kindness from God that is undeserved. In other words, as believers, we wear favour like a shield and receive grace and blessing because of the favour of God:

For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;

With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Psalm 5:12 (NJKV) 

Prayer

Dear Lord, I thank You that You are a shield for those who trust in You. Today let Yourfavour surround me as with a shield in Jesus name.
