Praise and Worship:

I Will Come and Bow Down:


Topic: God Has Reserved Double Honour For You

It's going to be a greater year, greater protection.
God is still not in charge of the world. If He is, the streets of earth will be gold.

God gave Adam dominion over earth. Don't picture the garden as a small garden patch. It is the whole earth. Adam had power over the earth and every living creature. God has lost the way He governs the earth. The devil needs a body so that he can express himself. That is the law. 
So, man preferred snake talk and Adam fell. Since Adam has bowed his knee to the devil, the devil is the one behind every tsunami and every accident. 

God hates sins, sickness and death. God cannot and will not stop man because of the free choice. You have the freedom to choose but you do have the freedom to choose the consequence. Please understand God's wonderful dream and we live in a world of the consequence. So don't blame God. God sent His son to die for us so that we can reach God easily.

Books are wonderful but they cannot save. What man needs is a saviour. Man has the law for 3500 years but look at the world today. Morality cannot save. We need more preachers having more confidence in the gospel restored.

Romans 1:16-17
Verse 16: The word "salvation" is complete salvation. It is for everyone who believes.
Verse 17: Make sure you get the right kind of gospel. There are teachings of morality. Look at the NLT translation for this verse. It says from "start to finish by faith". There's nothing you can do. You can only have faith and receive it.

Romans 4:13-16 (NLT)
Verse 13: We are Abraham's descendents. There are so many people talking about obeying God's obedience. There are preachers who keep putting the law in front of his people. The reason believers are not receiving because they are focusing on obeying the law. You still need the law for outward governance like most countries have.

The worst sin is unbelief. The whole nation cannot enter the holy land is because of unbelief. The greatest holiness is faith.

Every time you say in deep appreciation, "Thank God I am the righteousness of God in Christ", God is very pleased. It causes you to quit trying to quit from your addiction.

Sometimes people will repackage the law and present it to the people.

Webster is the father of all English dictionary. Webster is a very strong and devoted Christian.

Looking at the definition,
Shame:
- a painful sensation excited by a consciousness of guilt or of having done something of consciousness of guilt.

The law was given so that man will know what is sin. It is like a mirror.

In Psalm 8, God crowned (atar) man will glory and honour. Man was never naked. The moment Adam sinned, that bright golden light around him disappeared. Man sinned and forfeited the glory. Jesus said the glory you gave Me, I have given them.

Genesis 3:9-11
Verse 9: The first question in the bible.
Verse 10: This first tells you why fear came into the world. The mother of all fear is the fear of death. Fear is something that God hates. God doesn't want you to live in fear. Fear began here. Adam feared because he was naked. The consciousness of sin and guilt caused man to fear.

To all parents, never use the words "Shame on you". Always tell them they are made beautiful by God. Even when they fail, shame must never come in.

Verse 11: By the law is the knowledge of good and evil. In the law, it says you shall die if you partake from this tree.

Shame and sin consciousness is together. By the law, it is the knowledge of sin. But God promised in Isaiah 61, God promised in our shame, He will give us double honour. Why? Because Jesus has come.

Do you know why God allowed Jesus to take the spitting and shame? So that we can have double honour today.

Matthew 27:26-31
Verse 26: The soldiers scourged Him.
Verse 27: They brought Him to the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison.
Verse 28: They stripped Him. Can you imagine standing before your enemies who hate you and they stripped you naked? They are mocking you. They put a scarlet robe on Him.
Verse 29: They put a crown of thorns on His head. That's for all of us who are depressed and have negative thoughts. He paid the price for our peace of mind. They put a reed on His hand. A reed is a weapon.
Verse 30: They used the reed to struck Him on His head. The word "struck" in Greek is in imperfect tense. They continued hitting him on His head again and again. The hit, the shame and nakedness He has taken for us so that in His shame, we will have double honour.

Psalm 69:19-21
Verse 19: These 3 words, reproach, shame and dish on our are all shame.

In closing,

Jesus died with a broken heart. Medical science says that when someone dies with a raptures heart, water is found at the sac near the heart.

Psalm 69:19-21
Verse 20: Reproach has broken Jesus' heart. Our shame, our shame broke His heart.

Pastor asked God why give him a ministry that is going to four corners of the earth.
The Lord replied, "Son, last week you preached about the woman in adultery. The days you live in today and the days we lived in before is different. The adulterous woman can move to the north or Galilee and nobody will know her. But in your day and age, you have the social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Let's say that today a lady commits a mistake not meant for the world to see, the shame is multiplied many times over more than the times during Jesus time. That is why I am blessing your gospel many times over today."
