• Making it to Prominence in God Part 5. . God wants us to get to prominence, but in Him. He said we shall be heads and not tails, above only and not beneath. . Deuteronomy 28:13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: . However, the prominence we seek must be in God. We have to seek Him and walk with him. . We said in the last lesson that in walking with God, we have to be patient. Patience in God is not just waiting, but being consistent in using the blood, the Word of God and praying in the Spirit to develop our character as we trust God for greater heights in this life. . Matthew 6:33 (KJV ) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. . 1Timothy 4:8(KJV) ..... godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. . Patience guarantees that we get things in God's timing, . Eccle 3:11(KJV) He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: . ...makes us develop our character, . Hebrews 10:36 (KJV ) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. . ....and puts us on the road to perfection. . James 1:4 (KJV) But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. . In our worldliness, we tend to regard those who take short cuts to success without godliness . Malachi 3:15 (KJV) And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. . But in God, there is a great reward for the patient and the godly James 5:11(KJV) Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. .

  • Making it to Prominence in God Part 4. . It is Satan's promise that we can get to prominence and in doing it we don't need God. . That is how he deceived Adam and Eve, that they don't need to do what God said. It is also the basis of three temptations he gave the Lord Jesus Christ. . When we walk with God, we prepare to follow Him for the long term. The prominent blessings are in the long term. . Job 8:7 (KJV) Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. . Eccle 7:8 (KJV) Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. . The just shall live by his faith (Habakkuk 2:4) . . It is striking however that God did not assure the promises through faith but by faith and patience. . Heb 6:12 (KJV) That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. . Why is faith not enough . 1. Patience builds the character needed to enjoy the promises. . 2. Patience ensures your spiritual maturity and perfection. . Making haste causes pride, corruption, greed and erodes destiny. . Prov 28:20 (KJV) A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. . Let's patiently work with God building the character of love. This we do by using faith to clean with the blood, daily Bible reading , and concentrated and frequent praying in the Spirit to perfect the love of God. Our prominence in this life in God will be assured. . To be continued... God bless you @zioncityfellowship @spcconlineoj #Prominence #Patience #Love. #Character #Perfection #Zioncity #ChurchOnTheAir

  • *The Fine Flour Part 5* To get fine flour, you pass it from sieve to sieve, the succeeding sieve having a smaller diameter than the previous. This sieving process represents to us shaking and affliction that God allows so that we can be partakers of His glory. Make Christians avoid the path of trials, shaking and refinement *Matthew 7:14(KJV)* Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. However this is where God picks His champions and His vessels of glory. *Isaiah 48:10(KJV)* 10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. *Psalm 87:2-3(KJV)* 2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. This path can be lonely and majority of the church will castigate you. *Jeremiah 30:17(KJV)* For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Through humility, praying in the Spirit and the word of God, we can endure and overcome in all trials and be the vessel fit for the Master's use. *Ezekiel 17:22-23 (KJV)* 22 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: 23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. Make up your mind today that you will make it to glory in God. Do not be afraid. Tell God to help you and He will see you through.
