Connecting with the Word . 

Recipe 1: Building a Relationship with Jesus Christ. Tune in with Melinda & Honey 

Wisdom with Obedience

Wisdom:
1. Wisdom is the principle thing - proverbs 4:7
2. Wisdom is better than strength - Ecc 9:16
3. Wisdom is better than rubies, silver, gold - James 3:17, Proverbs 8:11
4. By wisdom a house is builded - Proverbs 24:3
5. Wisdom is better than weapons of war - Ecc 9:18
6. Wisdom is a defence - Ecc 7:12 ( in the KJV defence translates to high place)
7. Wisdom is good with an inheritance- Ecc 7:11
8. Whoever has understanding, get wisdom - Proberbs 4:5,7
9. By wisdom the Lord founded the Earth - Proverbs 3:19
10. He that gets wisdom Loves his OWN SOUL- Proverbs 19:8

**** study scriptures to see  WHY & HOW these things are so ***
****ex: 7. Wisdom is good with an inheritance: How’s that? Because those who have been saved by grace have been given the spirit of adoption, we’re now adopted into the Kingdom of heaven & have obtained the riches of Christ: Wisdom, knowledge, understanding, his fruits, also able to cry out unto him & knows he hears

What does it profit us to have the riches of wisdom but Not obey the wisdom we’ve acquired?

Obedience is better than sacrifice. Those that preach the gospel shall live by the gospel

Law of Moses : animals who were without blemish ( the best) were brought forth as a sacrifice by the priest in repentance of sin.

Law of Grace: we now present ourselves as living sacrifices before Christ Holy, acceptable & wellpleasing, separated from sin, our temples are his dwelling place

When we look at BOTH sacrifices, these both were presented before the Lord as an incense of honor, He says obedience is better than these.

Obedience is choosing the way of righteousness - Romans 5:19, Salvation, Faith, Fruitful.


Solomon the most wisest man in his era, King after his father David disobeyed Christ: of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the Children of Israel, you shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: solomon clave unto these in Love - 1Kings 11:2 

Solomon didn’t take heed to the wisdom The Lord gave him but still choose to cleave unto the women, causing him to serve false gods angered the Lord 
Consequence: caused the Kingdom to be rejected from when his son shall reign as king; & the lord put an adversary before him.

David the Apple of God’s eyes reigned as King. He disobeyed the Lord by the works of the flesh : Adultery . He looked upon a woman Bathseda who happened to be washing herself, who was also beautiful to look upon. He laid with her knowing she was the wife of Uriah, she then conceived a child. After this David put a commandment to the soldiers to put her husband Uriah to be On the front line of the War to assure he would be killed. And then married her. 
Consequence: the Lord allowed the child that they conceived to die. 

Saul Chosen to be King before the children of Israel because they desired a King. The Lord sent him a commandment saying “ Now ho and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, of and sheep, camel and ass. - 1Sam 15:3.    Samuel did what was commanded in the way he wanted to do it rather than how God commanded him to. He feared the voice of the people rather than the Lord
Consequence: the Lord repented of making Saul king and removed him from being King from his people 

Jonah: a Chosen vessel of the Lord was commanded by the Lord to bring forth a word to the people of Nineveh . Jonah feared, flew from the presence of the Lord causing destruction to come on innocent people 
Consequence: put into the whale’s belly for 3 days/nights then had to scream out of the belly of hell because of his disobedience 

Eve- the woman all living. Commanded by the Lord to NOT partake in a specific tree, yet deceived by the serpent because she seen what was pleasant to her eyes and becoming wise as god, which caused her to OBEY the WRONG VOICE. 
Consequence: her disobedience caused their eyes to be open, became as gods knowing good and 
Evil, causing sin to enter the world that all mankind were made sinners.

Unto the woman he said, i will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception: in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee - Genesis 3:16


Moses: commanded by the lord , while leading the children of children, to allow God to gush water out of the rock, rather than him breaking the rock on the ground. 
Consequence: he wasn’t able to see the promise land

And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah–kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:50-51‬ ‭KJV‬‬




We understand disobedience is only manifested by the deeds of the flesh. Pride. Unbelief. Thinking your deeds will be hidden. Thinking you are ahead of Christ. Double minded or unstable. All these take place in the heart of man when we continue in the deeds of disobedience. With disobedience comes chastening, as we see all the consequences the Lord our upon those who he loves.

Traditions Among the Church Buildings 





  

    As I begin to read 1 Corinthians 12 , the words “members, body and Christ” stood out. The Lord reminded me of church buildings in today’s society & how they are structured in operating the church. Most that believe in Christ go to church buildings, when you’re fulfilled with that church’s pastor’s preaching, the ministry for the youth or adults, the events; You become a member of that church. That  proceeds with one going in front the church to say “ they believe or want to become a member”. Becoming a member, especially in the Baptist Church I grew up in, you had to go through a new members class & when you were finished you got a certificate saying you completed that class. Similar to how the world functions for school. Becoming a CNA or certified tech you need certification to prove you completed the course in which you were interested in. I  thought wow, is this how the church buildings came up with the use of their words.

    Not knowing they have it all wrong, we are the body of Christ. Those who believe by Faith in him become members of HIS BODY. As found in chapter 12 of Corinthians, verses 4-6, we as members have diversities of gifts, differences of administrations and diversities of  operations of the Kingdom of God, all by the same spirit of Christ; Which is making disciples, going heal, deliver, preach the word of God & so much more the Lord called us to do while we’re here on Earth. The Lord looks at the heart and mind of man, when one believes. He said if we confess with our mouths the Lord Jesus, and believe in our hearts that God hath raised him from the dead, you shall be saved- Romans 10:9. We then become doers of the word  and become to do the works he did in flesh.  We didn’t have to become certified by him to be his children. He choose us  before we were even born. He called us to be a Holy people and  gave us the free gift of grace, welcoming  us in. So let us remember for the Husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church ( US): and he is the savior of the body ( US) - Ephesians 5:23
