DEVELOPING A SPIRITUAL PLAN
Wednesday 01-25-12
~Proverbs 13:22, “A Good Man Leaves An Inheritance To His Children’s Children And The Wealth Of The Sinner Is Laid Up For The Just. 23. Much Food Is In The Tillage Of The Poor But There Is That Is Destroyed For Want Of Judgment.”
~We Are Talking About How To Get Out Of Debt… And How To Rise Up And Out Of A Poverty Mentality.
~You Must Make A Spiritual Plan…
~1. WORSHIP GOD FIRST
~Malachi Chapter 3… Malachi 3:10, “Bring All The Tithes Into The Storehouse, That There May Be Food In My House, And Try Me Now In This,” Says The Lord Of Hosts, “If I Will Not Open For You The Windows Of Heaven And Pour Out For You Such Blessing That There Will Not Be Room Enough To Receive It.
~God Said, “If You’ll Do Something In The Natural… I’ll Do Something In The Supernatural… I’ll Send You A Blessing From Heaven.” ~You Do Something From The Earth, And I’ll Do Something From Heaven…
~2. TRUST GOD COMPLETELY
~ Malachi 3:11, “And I Will Rebuke The Devourer For Your Sakes, So That He Will Not Destroy The Fruit Of Your Ground, Nor Shall The Vine Fail To Bear Fruit For You In The Field,” Says The Lord Of Hosts;”
~The Fruit He’s Talking About… ~Your Job, Your Children, Your Home, Your Money, Your Time, Your Health…
~1 Peter 5:5… “Likewise You Younger People, Submit Yourselves To Your Elders. Yes, All Of You Be Submissive To One Another, And Be Clothed With Humility, For “God Resists The Proud, But Gives Grace To The Humble.”
~3. HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE THE LORD
~Grace Is Heavens Help, God Helps Humble People, But God Resists Proud People
~Verse 6, “Therefore Humble Yourselves Under The Mighty Hand Of God, That He May Exalt You In Due Time, 7 Casting All Your Care Upon Him, For He Cares For You.”
~4. OBEY THE WORD COMPLETELY
~Haggai 1:5-7, “Now Therefore, Thus Says The Lord Of Hosts: Consider Your Ways! You Have Sown Much, And Bring In Little; You Eat, But Do Not Have Enough; You Drink, But You Are Not Filled With Drink; You Clothe Yourselves, But No One Is Warm; And He Who Earns Wages, Earns Wages To Put Into A Bag With Holes. Thus Says The Lord Of Hosts: “Consider Your Ways!”
~The Jews Had Been In Captivity For Many Years In Babylon.?~During That Time They Had Wept, Mourned And Prayed That God Would Deliver Them From Exile.?~They Watched And Prayed Daily For Jerusalem And Yearned To See Its Walls.
~But Once They Were There, They Forgot Their Years Of Being Denied Worship Of Their God And Subsequently Spent Their Time Building A Life All About Themselves.?~Mark 12:30 “And Thou Shalt Love The Lord Thy God With All Thy Heart, And With All Thy Soul, And With All Thy Mind, And With All Thy Strength: This Is The First Commandment.”
~Put God First. ~Matthew 6:33, “Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God And His Righteousness And All These Things Will Be Added Unto You.”
~If Lack And Poverty Has Belittled You And Beaten You Up… ~If Debt Has Dragged Your Spirit Down…
~You Can Decide To Worship God First! ~You Can Decide To Bring In Your Tithe And Present It To Your God In Worship At The Altar… This Is Where You Begin To Put Him First… ~Make A Decision!
~Say This With Me…
- ~I’m Going To Tithe…
- ~I’m Going To Pray…
- ~I’m Going To Go To Church Even If I Have To Hitchhike!
~ Nobody Can Stop Me From Putting God First And Serving Him With All My Heart!
~Psalm 9:9-10 Says, “God Himself Is A Refuge In A Time Of Trouble”
~YOU MUST HAVE A SPIRITUAL PLAN… AND HERE IT IS…
~1. I WILL TITHE. I WILL SERVE GOD NO MATTER WHAT… I WILL PUT GOD FIRST…
~This Is The First Principle Of Being Blessed By God.
~2. DO YOUR PART AND RESIST YOUR ENEMY…
~Make Jesus The Lord Of Your Bills And Your Debt… And Then Resist Greed…
~3. GIVE GOD EVERYTHING… NOT JUST THE TITHE…
