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.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
