OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON 11/09/2014 IS: SUBJECT: THE HELP OF GOD FOR US ALL TOPIC: WARNINGS AND ENCOURAGEMENT THAT HELPS IN TIMES OF CRISIS DATE: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2014 READING SCRIPTURES: LUKE 12:1-59 (NIV WARNINGS AND ENCOURAGEMENT THAT HELPS IN TIMES OF CRISIS: 1. There are things you must observe to enter into Gods plan for Divine Help as follows: Listening to Warnings, Improving on words of Encouragements you received, encouraging others in need, practicing open doors policy, rejecting the things of the flesh like hypocrisy, selfishness, greed, secrecy with evil intentions manipulated by Satan, fearing whatever that kills the body and the soul. Acknowledging Jesus Christ at all times and walking in the Spirit so that the Spirit of God will teach you all things in times of need. See verses 1-12 2. Take note of the parable of the rich fool, so as to learn that life does not depend on the amount of possessions you acquire on earth here, but on the treasures you lay in heaven while you are here. Watch out and be on guard against greed for life does not consist of your possessions but on your trust in God in whose hands is your help at all times so that you will not be like the rich fool. See verses 13-21 3. To walk in the benefits of the help of God, you must learn not to worry, because worry is a spirit of the enemy Satan that kills, steals and destroys. It is also a spirit that causes delay, hindrance, distractions, pains, sorrows etc. You must learn to depend on God at all times in every situation, for your help comes only from God and he alone can do all things for you and your family. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added onto you and also lay your treasures in heaven where moth will not destroy it. See verses 22-34 4. You must also know that to inherit the blessings that comes with the help of God, you must also be watchful in what ever you do in life. This means that the key word is watchfulness. The question is how do I watch? To watch, you must pray without ceasing, you must walk in faith and hope, you must observe your environment through spiritual mapping, you must walk in holiness and righteousness, you must love the Lord with all your heart, you must love your fellow humans, you must be trustworthy, you must unite people, you must lead by example with honesty, you must build confidence in people under you to trust you at all times, and have a teachable spirit to build others up that are under your watch. See verses 35-48. 5. One of the greatest enemies of walking in divine power of the help of God is, standing on the way of peace to reign by creating divisions among brethren and people of God. The greatest strategy of the enemy to hinder the benefits of the help of God is through the operations of the household enemies. But only you can allow that to happen by accepting the tricks of the devil, by creating division and hindering peace from reigning. Remember that a man’s enemies are members of his own household, do not allow the household enemies to carry out their operations in your home by creating division, but create an environment for love and peace. See verses 49-53 6. Finally, learn to interpret the times that we live in, if you desire to walk in the help of God, stand on the truth and give best judgment at all times and stand on yes to be yes and no to be no, also know when and how to say yes and when to say no. Do not behave like the hypocrites but be in the expectation of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, so as to reign with him. See verses 54-59 7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to observe the warnings that will hinder the help of God and learn to avoid them and encourage yourself and others in times of needs as you wait in hope for the help of God in Jesus name Amen. Read below:Luke 12:1-59 New International Version (NIV) Warnings and Encouragements 12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. 4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” The Parable of the Rich Fool 13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” 16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” Do Not Worry 22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? 27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. 32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Watchfulness 35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” 41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?” 42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Not Peace but Division 49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Interpreting the Times 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time? 57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.” Watch out for our NOVEMBER 2014 daily words of Exhortations on EMPOWERMENT TO WALK IN THE HELP OF GOD" TOMORROW NOVEMBER 10, 2014.
