SEEK THE COMMANDS-2

-

Text: Matthew 28:20

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Our Lord Jesus Christ wants you to teach all things He has commanded, and to observe all things whatsoever He has commanded you as well.

Today, we shall be looking at how you can observe all things that Jesus has commanded. 

If you are not properly taught about "ALL things" that Jesus has commanded, you cannot observe them. So there must be a teacher and preacher of the commands. Apostle Paul told Timothy (in 2 Timothy 4:2&3) to Preach the word; be instant in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine; because a time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.

Sound doctrine defines all that Jesus has commanded you to observe. *Any preaching or teaching that is not pointing you to Jesus is not founded on sound doctrine.

The "All things" commanded in the great commission is the great commandment- LOVE.

As far as God is concerned, Love is "all things" and "all things" is Love.* If you are able to keep the royal law which is Love, you would have kept the "All things" that is commanded by Jesus Christ.

If you love the Lord, you will keep His sayings.

Jesus once said, _"If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him"_ John 14:23 

True love for Jesus will make you observe " All things" He commanded you to observe.

Bible reading:Mathew 28:17-20

PRAYER FOCUS

1) Father, I receive grace to love you more and more so as to keep all things whatsoever you command me to do.

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
