HOW TO EVALUATE YOURSELF pt 1

HE REIGNS WORSHIP CENTER.

PRESENTS: LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER:

SCRIPTURE. ECCLESIASTES 12:13, HOSEA 4:6, JAMES 1:5, PROVERB 4:1, EPHESIANS 1:18, LUKE 10:24 & MATTHEW 16:13 TO 15

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate our personal conduct within ourselves, to correct those possible errors we may have made and live with over the years. 

My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge about God. In other words, my people are destroyed because they don't know God. In Hosea 4:6 KJV. Said. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Having knowledge about God gives you an advantage to access advanced knowledge. What is knowledge? This can mean the information and skill acquired through experience or education. The theoretical understanding of a subject. What is known in a particular field or a total facts and information. Digging deep you say, the fact of knowing about something, a general understanding or what you are familiar with. 

Now understand that God was talking to the nation of Israel who was acquainted with the laws of God. It's  becomes almost normal for the nation of Israel to enter into sin all because they rejected the knowledge of the principles of God according to John 1:1 KJV. The Bible said. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

The words are said to be God himself from the beginning, that is a pointer to a fact that if we have or know the laws of God, in us and do not keep them it means you have rejected God. That is, you have rejected the knowledge of God's word and this can open up the doors of the enemy to pursue you according to Hosea 8:3 KJV. Which said. Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. 

If the knowledge about God is good, keeping them becomes very necessary. otherwise, rejecting such good things opens up the doors for the enemy to pursue, may that not be our portion in Jesus' precious name. 

Now when you understand what it means to fear the Lord you will certainly gain the knowledge of God. Some of the many benefits of the knowledge of God's word are as follows: 

1. The knowledge of God opens you up to access Grace and truth. 2 Peter 1:2 KJV. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. 

2. The knowledge of God brings you into fruitfulness, devine growth and increase in knowledge. Colossians 1:10 KJV. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

3. The knowledge of God's word gives you access to the spirit of wisdom and divine revelation. Ephesians 1:17 KJV. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

4. The knowledge of God's word gives you access to light and to overcome every darkness. 2 Corinthians 4:6 KJV. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

5. The knowledge of God awakened your spirit man to exist in righteousness. 1 Corinthians 15:34 KJV. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Therefore how we fare concerning the principles of God. If we believe sin is a reproach according to Proverbs 14:34 KJV. Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Then we must and should hate what is sinful. 

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. We establish that our focus will be on personal evaluation of conduct and lifestyle and standards such as personal hygiene. These are what you practice in association with the preservation of your health and healthy living such as 

1. looking at your table manner 

2. Eating habits and quality of food you eat. 

3. how often do you drink water and the quality of water you drink. 

4. your sleeping habits and sleeping with a good device. 5. your dressings and color combination. 

6. your association and. 

7. what you see, hear and how you react to issues.

Let me establish here that God respects all our ways, he does not superimpose His will on us by any means but being the almighty God, he has also given to us his terms and conditions. what should follow is written and given to us all. 

That is why, ignorance is not an excuse in law. You must know it even though many people intend to ignore this fact. in Deuteronomy 11:26-28 KJV. The Bible said. Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; [27] A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: [28] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Diligence makes you Rich according to the book of Proverbs 22:29 KJV. Which said. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

Diligence makes you stand before Kings and not only ordinary men, diligence makes you stand before noblemen. What is diligent therefore, this means that one is performing with intense contraction, focus and responsible regard and hard working.

I have also said that no human is permitted to dictate your peace or your joy in the past. But if you lose focus your peace can be manipulated, that is because many believers of Christ always have alternatives outside God. in Exodus 14:14 KJV. The Bible said. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

God said I will fight for you but when God reads through your heart and finds you have alternatives, that means you are losing focus and you're struggling to make it work in your own alternative route. He allows you to struggle it out all by yourself. At that point, what you are supposed to do is engage   or invoke Luke 4:4 KJV. Just like Jesus replying to the devil and saying. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Man shall not live by bread alone that is why we need to read and study the word to know what is written. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. You must study to show yourself to be approved, in other words. You must work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval or his miraculousness. 

Many believers of Christ today live in affliction and pain because we were all taught the principles of WHAT WILL BE WILL BE. Let me ask you, is that in your Bible? Why do you believe it and live with it? Has it worked out anything in your life? They said HALF BREAD IS BETTER THAN NONE. is that in your Bible? PATIENT DOG EAT THE FATTEST BONE. what a garbage we have existed with over the years. A DROP OF RAIN MAKES A MIGHTY OCEAN. God has mercy.

If they said to you half bread is better than none, tell them and remind them that somebody like you owns that bakery where the bread is coming from, (shout fire) tell them Philippians 4:19 KJV. Said. But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

When they say a patient dog eats the fattest bone ask them if they have ever seen any dog that eats a fat bone and gets big or gets fat before? The Bible says in Psalm 112:2-3 KJV. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. [3] Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 

Wealth and riches must be in your house if you obey diligently the word of God read Isaiah 1:19 KJV. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: All the people God has used in the Bible, they are all men of astute doggedness, though stubborn but brave in action somebody like MOSES, DAVID, ELIJAH JEPHTHAH, ELISHAH etc. they were men of steadfast hearts who worked hard for their records.

If you are willing and obedient, that is all God needs from you. your willingness and obedience not patience like a native dog waiting for bones, bulldogs  rush after flesh. No patient dog ever gets fat. Go and do your research. I am teaching you these things to change your mindset and mental reasoning in the year ahead. You must do things differently because we cannot be praying and not getting an answer we must balance our ideas if doing things. 

Now understand my concept here, in the cause of study I found that the parable of the patient dog eat the fattest bone is a bad mentality sold to many of us that kept us away from been dogged, to be patience is not wrong but we must balance the ideas that been patients should not stop you from been busy with what to do next mentality.

Sometimes we should ask ourselves what is the matter with us and why is God not answering us. Most times we pray to God to waste and destroy our enemies whereas, we are our own enemy. our dispositions have relegated us. You need to hear some believers of Christ talk in public. 

A brother approach a sister years ago for marriage and the word that comes out of the sister mouth make the brother share tears, the brother who was a common teacher got married later, had two kids got a new job bought a car for his new wife, the sister who made him cry is still in a relationship according to her Facebook profile and she is over fourty. why? patient dog and bad habit syndrome.

In my research on most single ladies especially church people, I found out that they don't know how to keep relationship, many are emotionally too loose that when a man approached them the first thing that comes to mind is sex! This man is looking for sex, some are looking for already made men with luxurious names. Others will say I can't suffer with any man! what says the scripture in Proverbs 18:22 KJV. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord.

If you know what is written of you this scripture must apply to your life. Why are we going through all of these, my people are destroyed for they lack knowledge of who they are! Because they don't study the scripture to know what is written of them. According to Psalm 40:7 KJV. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, read the Bible, read books to discover what is written of you.

I call you all to improve on your mental reasoning as a believer of Christ, that means it is time to give ourselves to  continuous learning according to Proverbs 13:18 KJV. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored..

Guide yourself with divine instruction and establish A structure for your expectations. This is where we talk about knowing your purpose in life. when you know and understand your purpose, as it is written in

Habakkuk 2:1-3 KJV. Saying. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. [2] And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. [3] For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

You must come to understand that whatever you want to get in life is based on what you give out, your impact on others determines your profit. You cannot work in a bakery and earn a salary in Coca-Cola Company. You must agree that every product on earth was created for a purpose according to John 9:3 KJV. Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

The creator determines the purpose, it is not your duty to desire your purpose. you are made to discover your purpose. I repeat it is not your duty to desire your purpose, you are made to discover your purpose. The question is always how do I discover my purpose or how do I know God's divine purpose for my life.

This is where and why you need the divine knowledge of God's word; it will be revealed to you in dreams, by open visions or prophecy will reveal it to you. your persuasion will be based on the information you have acquired through reading and studying the word and praying in the Holy Ghost according to John 14:26 KJV. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Don't forget that in John 1:12 KJV. The Bible Said. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons (children) of God, even to them that believe on his name: now the right translation here Ought to be "children" not sons because it's a process of learning, adult do not have the patient capacity to learn like children. Children learn with all humility, but adults are in a hurry to move on, now compare Romans 8:14 KJV. The Bible said. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. This talk about after graduation from what you have learned as a child, you have grown up to understand what is in you which now gives you directions of purpose.
