OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON 01/25/2015 IS: SUBJECT: THE WISDOM OF GOD THAT BUILDS US IN 2015 TOPIC: HARVESTS OF GODS WISDOM BY GIVING TO THE NEEDY, PRAYERS AND FASTING DATE: SUNDAY MESSAGE FOR JANUARY 25, 2015 READING SCRIPTURES: MATTHEW 6:1-33 CONNECTING HARVESTS OF GODS WISDOM THROUGH GIVING TO THE NEEDY, PRAYERS, AND FASTING: 1. In every society there are those that are classified as the needy, under-privileged or dependants. Which ever anyone is seen as, or is in reality, we must understand and agree that they need help, and that help begins when they start walking in the wisdom of God and those walking in Gods wisdom or privileged assisting them. See verses 1-2 2. The Privileged who walk in the wisdom of God must not allow what is in their left hands to know what is in their right hands when it comes to assisting the needy as far as he/she is privileged to do it. Those who do not walk in the wisdom of God always blow their trumpets in every little help they give to the needy, it should not be so. They hypocrites do same because they do it in expectations of reward from Man but we that walk in the wisdom of God, do not expect our harvests from man but from God who rewards his children diligently. It is a duty and divine obligation to all believers as commanded by God to help the needy with no attachment, because our reward is not from Man but from God. See verses 3-4. 3. The same goes to prayers, so many folks prayers are not answered not because God did not hear it, but their method of prayers and their relationship with God is not in order. Just like the hypocrites praying loud in public to attract public attention, is such prayer to God or to Man? They prayed to self that they may be seen like those on a public show, it should not be so. Our prayers should be personal between us and God who hears in secretes and rewards us openly. See verses 5-8. 4. For those of you who do not walk in the wisdom of God, today is your day of deliverance and harvests through prayers that will enrich you all the days of your life. Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour did set a standard for us all to follow on how to pray in our Lords prayers. If you have not been praying that prayer, please begin today to pray our Lords prayers and see how situations will turn around in your life and you will begin to harvest the blessings of walking in the wisdom of God where the enemy has been robbing you. See verses 9-15 5. As believers, to solidify your stand with God for your joy to be full and to walk in the wisdom of God, you must partake in fasting. Jesus Christ the son of God showed us an example when he went to the mountain to pray for forty days and forty nights just like Moses did before he could receive the Ten Commandments, it is something you must do with your whole heart and not been forced to do it, and when you do it surrender totally to God and receive from him by following the standards in Isaiah 58:1-14, and allow God to do great things in your life as you walk in his wisdom See verses 16-18 6. When you have fulfilled all righteousness, walked in the wisdom of God, your heavenly treasures will open up and showers of blessings will come down upon you and your household as you walk in the wisdom of God. You will never be worldly or earthly minded but you will be heavenly minded. Hereby are three things that will happen to you when you are heavenly minded as follows? a). You will be conscious of storing treasures in heaven through good works on earth like helping the needy, interceding for others and winning souls to the kingdom of God. b). No devourer can devour your body, harvests or lands. c). The light of God in your life will overcome every darkness around you and your faith will be unshakeable, to an extent the spirit of mammon will flee where ever you appear and true prosperity will run after you till eternity. See verses 19-24 7. You will never worry for anything again all the days of your life, because God’s wisdom will always apply in your Relationships, be it Family, Business, Career, Job etc, and the grace of God will come upon you to sustain healthy relationship lifestyle as follows: a) You must live in your relationships with a harvest mentality b) You must live in your relationships with an investment mentality c) You must live in your relationship with a grace mentality. Take along with you Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness. See verses 25-29 8. Finally I say to those of you out there who are of little faith and distracted by the enemy Satan, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. See verses 30-33. 6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to connect to the harvests of Gods wisdom through giving to the needy, prayers, fasting, storing your treasures in heaven and to be contented and never to worry again all the days of your life in Jesus name Amen. Read Matthew 6:1-33 New International Version (NIV) Giving to the Needy 6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 “This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation,[a but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’ 14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Fasting 16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Treasures in Heaven 19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
