GOD'S EQUATIONS-VALUES

-

Text :Luke 16:15 

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. 

Equation according to dictionary is the act or process of equating two or more things, or the state of those things being equal (that is, identical). Just as man has his own equations, God also has His. But God's equations are different from man's. God spoke about many equations that are contraty to that of man.

Today, we shall be looking at God's equation  as it relates to Value. The word Value simply means the quality (positive or negative) that renders something desirable or valuable.

Jesus wrote one of His equatioms on Values thus:"....for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God"

When man says this is highly esteemed, God says this is an abomination. Man's values and God's value cannot equate in any way. Most of the things that are celebrated in our world today are abominable in the sight of God.

There are lots of works, celebrities and famous folks in our world today that are highly esteemed and celebrated but are abominable before the Lord. As a child of God, we must view things with God's eye glasses. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.(Isaiah 55:9).

As believers, we must learn to see Values from God's perspective. The definition of riches to God is not the same for man. God said to the rich church of Laodicea(rich according to man's value)that they are poor. (Rev 3: 17-18)

Man's equation says or believes that life depends on abundant possessions but Jesus said, "a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth".(Luke 12:15).

Don't flow with popular opinion, rather chose to go with God's opinion. 

Bible reading: Luke 16:19-31

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
