LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF HOSEA 4:6


"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"




1.If you don't know that God is merciful ; you will always hold your self in guilt and condemnation. Roms 8:1"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
2. If you don't know that sowing works ; you will never sow ;when you are under financial distress. Eccl 11:4 "He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap."
3. If you don't know that giving opens the way for you ; you will always be reluctant to give . 2 cor 9:7 (NIV)"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. "4. If you don't know you need to pray more in times of trouble ; you will not pray .Luke 22:44"And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
5. If you always seen things carnally ; you will never see what God is showing you .Jer 1:11"Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.6. If you refuse to fast and pray ; their are certain demons that will not go .Mark 9:29"And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
7. If you refuse to forgive ; you will always carry bitterness around with you. Heb 12:15 "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;"
8. If you are not joyful ;you cannot experience his presence. psalm 16:11 "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
9. If you always complain and fuss about everything ; you will not hear God speak.1 kings 19:12 " And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. "
10. If you think God will not forgive you ; Satan will always hold you in bondage. Isaiah 55:7" Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
10.If you don't believe in tithing "lol" from my personal experience , is what I call "spiritual trouble" .psalm 119:67"Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word."
11. If you will not study the word always ; when the storms come you will doubt God .Matt 7:26-27"And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."




I PRAY FOR YOU THIS MORNING ; WHAT EVER WILL CAUSE YOU TO DOUBT YOUR GOD , MAY THE POWER OF GOD CUT IT OFF NOW IN JESUS NAME , AMEN.





BE BLESSED . HAPPY SUNDAY!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF 1 COR 10 :13 (Amp Version)

"For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently."

5. God has made a plan ahead , for your escape. Is not possible for God to abandon his own .Is the simple truth . Amen." Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Heb 13:5

8. No matter the level of the temptation , lay hold on God's word . Is your anchor in the midst of the storm." Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. ".1 tim 6:12 (NLT)
9. Patience reveals secrets you would not have known . "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.". psalm 25:14
10.God will never allow you to be tempted beyond , what you can manage . At times it gets very tough and you say "I can't go with this any longer "; but watch this , God is in control of the switch , he knows how to regulate it to the barest minimum. "He prayed, “O Lord, God of our ancestors, you alone are the God who is in heaven. You are ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth. You are powerful and mighty; no one can stand against you! " 2 Chron 20:6 (NLT)
