I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children are blessed. – Psalm 37:25-26
Sermon
I am, praise the LORD
Posted on 31 Jul 2016
The bible says that every thing that has breath should praise the Lord. What is praise? Thanking the people is praising them! Sometimes we find it too big and too difficult to praise people. What could motivate the lord? and Why is praise so important?
Psalms 103 says that it is all about praising the Lord. Let all that I am, bless the Lord. God said to Moses to TELL the people THAT THE ONE THAT LIVES IN YOUR SOUL HAS SENT ME TO YOU.
I am, Praise the LORD
I AM that liveth in me is supposed to be in control. We struggle because we do not allow the great I AM to enable us to be creative enough. We break human principles because we ourselves are not obedient. How are people going to obey you when you yourself do not obey others. This is how it is supposed to be; give and it shall be given unto you (Luke 6:38).
Christianity is not just about going to church. It is from the inside to the outside. If you do not have values in yourself how do you expect others to have value of you. You do not buy respect; NO, you are accorded respect due to your influence.
Patience is the most important miracle that we need for us to see the glory of the Lord in our lives. He sent forth His Word and that same Word is the one which healeth us (Psalms 107:20). No matter the level you think you are in control, a time will come that you need to know that the Bible says “He sent forth his word…and it healeth”. Our words are seeds whether we spoke them or they are spoken to us. How do they grow? They are watered by the Spirit of God (most likely). We choose however, who waters them. If we allow God, then He waters our seeds but we can also allow the Devil to water them in which case we think evil and our spoken word is as such.
When you are born again something changes inside that is when you know that He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. However, be prepared to be in control and be responsible for your actions. Words are seeds and they will germinate one day. People try to justify all that they do till one day it comes back to bite us.
