Testimony Time:-I am a child of God and I love Him too, yes!, but I also worship Him the way I like. Do you respect and honour God according to His riches and glory? You only need to consider His Statement in Proverbs 8: 17-19 which states "I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me. "Riches and honor are with me, Enduring wealth and righteousness."My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold, And my yield better than choicest silver". Your duties to God is not complete unless you are also able to respect and honour man in return. This is because "the prudent sees the evil and hides himself, But the naive go on, and are punished for it. The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches, honor and life. Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards himself will be far from them" (Proverbs 22:3-5) Has anger taken over your heart? Are you very quick to flip, judge, denounce and feels God can answer your prayers without the handiwork of man? Do you really think you are better off than every creature on earth? What makes you feel your claims are the only ones paramount to God and not others? As well, are you really in a relationship with Christ and do you also use other people's life style to measure your own achievements. In addition, do you respect, honour and submit to Civil Authorities according to the proclaimed riches of God? 1 Peter 2:13-17 emphatically declares "Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. [Act] as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but [use it] as bondslaves of God. Honor all men; love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king." Don't be deceived, to honour, respect and submit to all the above bears testament to His honour. The three goes hand in hand and none can supersede each other. For if we claim to serve God and cannot use our claims to silence the ignorance of the foolishness in men we cannot say we are doing the will of God. Very clearly, that also shows we cannot be doing what is right in His presence. Prayer is the key yes!, but prayer does not cover stupidity and the foolishness of this world. Don't get confused!!! We have come to your presence again today as always, Lord let our presence before you be acceptable and not considered as part of the foolishness of this world in Jesus name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
