My People are Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge Series

Part 3: Daily Benefits of God

February 8, 2012

All Praises Belong to God! Thank you God for sending Jesus to die on the Cross for us! Thank you God for loading us up with daily benefits of your blessings! Open our eyes Father that we may see You loading us up with your blessings each and every day! Thank you God for Jesus!

I am still excited! I thank God for continuing to rip the veils from my eyes that I may see that God has never left me that God has never forsaken me. I thank God He does not change who He is even and especially when I fall short. That my Friends, fuels me the more to want to walk upright before Him, because He’s just good like that. It makes me want more purging so that I can lay aside more and more weights that so easily beset me. Oh God! Thank you for Jesus!

The praises I share right now are because God continues to show Himself mighty to me that there is nothing too hard for Him. It’s not that I have already obtained the promise of what I’m believing Him for, it is because He is showing me He is worthy to be praised even if I don’t obtain the promise. He encourages me as He reminds me to show forth the faith liken unto the 3 Hebrew Boys, even if He doesn’t deliver us or give me the promise, we and I will still trust and follow God in spite of, because it’s not that He can’t deliver us or give us the promise O King, O Satan! But should He decide not to deliver us or give me the promise, we and I still will not bow to you Satan or false King! That is so powerful! My Friends, God is egging us on to believe Him regardless, in spite of, through it all, because He’s just like that. And little do we know, as God moves us forward into the fire, He is that very present help for He is with us and just like the fire should have burned up the Brothers, God’s power protected them, kept them, and DELIVERED THEM and as a result, blessed others to recognize their God was in fact the real God! Jesus! I hope somebody is getting this!

As I heard earlier today Jeremiah 29:11, paraphrased, God as a good plan for our lives, not evil, but a good end for us. We merely have to hold on to His promises in our lives. Many promises are delayed because we are just not ready to receive them! Help me Jesus! Help me become ready Lord! Take me through Lord! Take me through!

We continue to be grateful and so appreciate to be a part of the kingdom of God and to share this teaching, this Series with you all. 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. [Hosea 4:6, KJV]

The King James Study Bible (KJSB) annotation states ‘The cause of man’s problem is lack of knowledge. It does not stem from a shortage of information, but rather from rejection of information.’

Are we going to reject or receive God’s Word on today? I pray we ask ourselves the question, “What does God want me to become aware of on today that I have missed over time past that has kept me bound, blinded and discouraged unaware? God please show me, reveal to me an eternal word on today that shackles be broken, that yokes be broken, that freedom can ring through in another area of my life.”

Psalm 68:[19] says Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. [KJV]

This particular Psalm describes how ‘God has gone before His people, when the ark of the Lord was transferred from the house of Obed-edom to the new location on Zion’s mountain (2 Sam. 6:2-18).’ When I reread this scripture today in light of where I am today, I, too, can say, Selah. I need to take a moment to pause because God has been doing a lot rearranging in my life to make me a better person. Friends, I just need to sit for a moment to thank Him for being so good to me. Thank you Jesus! Oftentimes we are moving and shaking so much, we miss the very blessings we have been praying to God for and about because we are moving and shaking so fast. Help me Jesus! Then there are times I’m moving too slow that I find myself left behind because I’ve allowed myself to be so preoccupied with stuff I can’t change. So, how does a Sister get in balance? One step of awareness at a time—asking God to allow me to see with a new pair of eyes, with a new heart, with a new spirit, with everything new and fresh that I may not take anything for granted in that way again, that I may and will be able to see God’s daily benefits in my life. Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!

God’s Word is supposed to show us ourselves in spite of ourselves which in turn should propel us to seek Him more and more. The writer says in 2 Timothy 3:[15] You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. [16] All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. [17] God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. [NLT] And with that said in Romans 8:[28] And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. [NLT] God uses all things to get us to where we need to be in Him and for His glory.

As I close out this teaching, the writer continues in 2 Timothy 4:[1] I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom: [2] Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. [3] For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. [4] They will reject the truth and chase after myths. [5] But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. [NLT]

Friends, praise God, this tie in with Part 2 teaching, The Local Church. God has given everybody something to do whether we know it or not. God didn’t wait for us to be saved to give us gifts or even to give us ministries, but it’s when we become a Christ Follower that our gifts and ministries become supernatural instead of just natural. All praises belong to God!

Our lives matter to the people who are in our lives. People are watching us regardless. We call this shadows. Somebody is always watching us. What are we doing with the life we have today? Are we making it count for something, for God’s glory or are we stuck on self only? As long as we have breath in our body, there is still time for change. There is still time for transformation. There is still time to make a difference. There is still time to make our lives count for something eternal.

I pray someone receives an encouragement to press on with and in Jesus, to start a new beginning with Jesus, to recommit to Jesus because Friends, God is worth it all. I pray this in Jesus mighty name, Amen! Amen! Amen!

Until the next time,

Pastor Andra
