Lesson 1 : Humility is essential for any Christian's walk with God

November 1, 2013

Today is a very pretty day, the sun is bright the sky is very blue with no lining of clouds. I am sitting alone in the family room ( it is very rare that I get to sit alone this time of day specially in the family room...it's 4:40pm). Today, I learned that I had taken my life style for granted. It took a trip to a really busy area of the city to help me see what I haven't thanked God for. I saw little kids, kids almost half my age working to make ends meet. I saw people working so hard despite their age, because I saw both young and old laboring. I felt very uncomfortable to the point that I almost got a headache. I told the person who took me there to get me out. To my defense the area didn't have an inviting odor. I just wanted to leave that place as soon as possible. Then I thought, what if God had wanted to use me in that place, what would my response be? Hours later, I am sitting back comfortably in our family room  and I am recognizing that I need to be more humble. The Lord needs to work on me! Dear God I thank You for all that You have given me. I thank You that my parents worked Hard so that my siblings and I don't get to see the poverty I saw today. God, You are so worthy of all my praises.
   
"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land" 2 Chronicles 7:14

"He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way." Psalms 25:9

" Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."1 Peter 5:5

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Way of the Eagle

God will Fly Faster than you will fall..Then He will catch you! Qualities of an Eagle..we should have these things as Christians 1) An Eagle has Great Vision: It is easy to get lost without a vision 2)  An Eagle feasts only on Living things: We are alive in Christ, we do not need the dead things of our past 3) An Eagle is Faithful : We should be faithful in our relationship with our mates, friends, families and most of all in our relationship with God! When Does an Eagle Soar to the sky with its eyes set on the sun? 1) When a storm is approaching The Eagle sets its eyes on the heaven above as a storm approaches. We need to set our Gaze on Christ when storms come our way. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2 2) When its enemy approaches The Condor is Eagle's enemy and it knows the only way it can win is if the Eagle stays down (when the Eagle doesn't soar to the sky) The only way our enemy will win u...
