Honor and Obey.

                                                                        Honor and Obey.


First Commandment With A Promise; God Cannot Lie.


Be ye therefore followers of God, “As Dear Children”; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.  (Ephesians 5:1-2)


Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother-which is the first commandment “With A Promise”-so that “It may go well with you” and “that you may enjoy long life on the earth”.  (Ephesians 6:1-3) 


As Adults we Honor and Obey God, 

as Children we Honor and Obey Parents.


In Our Daily Nugget

Paul is telling the adults to be followers of God, “As Dear Children”, and he is telling the children to Honor and to Obey their parents; “that they may enjoy life and live a long life”.  Everyone wants to enjoy life and live a long life; “This Is How We Do It”; through Honor and Obedience.


Honor - To assign high value, weight, and deep respect to someone.  It is an” action and an attitude”, commanding Believers to “Esteem, Hold above All Else” and to “Freely Show Value to Others” “regardless of their worldly status”.


In our fallen state the only one we want to honor and to obey is self; self is synonyms with satan and sin.  Scripture says, our heart/mind is wicked above all things.  And it States a question, “who can know it”?  God can and does know it.  


When Children Honor and Obey their Parents,

it becomes second nature for them to Honor and to Obey God as adults.


The Bible says that “the demon of mischief” is bound in the heart/mind of a child, but the “Rod of Correction” “will drive” it far from them.  When “the demon of mischief matures” in the heart/mind of a child; that child will not honor nor obey parents nor God.  We show honor to one another because God Said To Do It. We are not honorable towards others because “we feel” they deserve it.  When our Heart/Minds are Pride-Filled, the Demon of Pride will not allow us to be honorable, only dishonorable.


Honor and Obey God, 

be the Example for your children!

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”. Our Daily Nugget is Solomon, telling us that Through Careful “Thinking”, we can have “The Life We Choose”.   We are God’s Children, our Father has All Power, who can Do All Things.   Through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, we can do all things through Him.   We can Think Carefully about things that leads to life and things that leads to death.   We, as God’s Children, has been given Great Ability to Control the Spirit World through our “Think...

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
