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 

Proverbs 18:21 :

“ Death and Life are in the Power of the Tongue: and they that   love it, shall eat the Fruit thereof.

I wanted to break down the scripture proverbs 18:21 on seeing that Death and Life are in the power of the tongue.

Now, we as believers should know that the wages of sin is Death, & the Gift of God is Eternal Life - Romans 6:21. But how do we obtain the two? Referencing to Deuteronomy 30:19 “ I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live”. Understanding that Christ has given us a choice to choose the life we desire to live; what we choose is within the heart that now shows though our works.

So, now I bring you to the “ power in the tongue”. As I have understood some reference this scripture to a literal sense of “ speaking things into existence”, which is far away from what God has spoken. ( Only the Lord has the power to speak things into existence, seeing he is the Creator of Heaven, Earth, the Seas & the inhabitants therein; nowhere in the bible is it shown from genesis to revelation where God’s chosen ones made something exist "they desired" by just speaking it, they always asked by seeking in prayer.) The interpretation of this very scripture is Matthew 12:37 “ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shall be condemned”. Every word we speak, we shall be give an account; whether they be profitable, proud or useless. God tells us why in the verses before, knowing that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

As proverbs 1:31 says “ Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their OWN devices.” Which is what the scripture goes on to say “and they that love it, shall eat the fruit thereof.”  What’s in the heart of man is what defiles him. So,if your heart is defiled with lust, fornication, evil thoughts, covetousness, murder, adultery, these are the fruits (works) you are producing, which are against what Christ has commanded- for those that look to inherit His Kingdom. But if your heart is after the commandments of Christ, your affections are set on things above, you’re separated from sin, and know that the fruits you are producing are in righteousness. Those who are seeking life are walking after the ways of Christ, their fruits are: ministering to one, showing a love that hides a multitude of sins to save souls, leading people to Christ, creating disciples for Christ, fasting and praying for others and themselves, etc. Not only producing forth fruit of Christ but those that have chosen life are walking in the fruit of God’s spirit; peace, faith, meekness, temperance, goodness, gentleness, love, joy and longsuffering.

Matthew 5:17

      

                " Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17) "

In scripture Jesus says, “Think not that I come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy BUT to Fulfil. This very scripture is taken out of context amongst a group of people, with an understanding that is error; presenting this scripture as the answer to why we are suppose to keep the Laws of Moses but I say to you that Christ’s interpretation of Matthew 5:17 is persuading us that He didn’t come to Destroy the law nor the prophets that preached & prophesied what was to Come, but he’s fulfilling the laws in scriptures. Before the New Testament, which is Christ coming in flesh here on Earth to preach salvation & remission of sins, in  “Old Testament“ Christ was prophesied in scripture by prophets which was to come. That’s why he said he didn’t come to destroy the laws that they had preached, as if the scripture that they brought forth no longer was needed or of none affect, but He’s now here to fulfil everything prophesied. He is that very law, commandment, statute, judgment that those prophets, His messengers spoke, concerning the things to come. Just as in Isaiah 42:1, “Behold my servant, whom I uphold: mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles.(v 2) He shall not cry, Nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the Street. This very scripture was prophesied by Esaias, & NOW Fulfilled looking at Matthew 12:17-21. Even in Isaiah 49:6, “I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth, which is fulfilled in Luke Chapter 2, yet looking at verses 25-32; Seeing that Simeon would see the Lord Christ, who is Salvation, (vs 30-31) which was written aforetime that he would come for the people, a light to lighten the Gentiles and the Glory of the people Israel. Seeing many things prophesied throughout the Old Testament was fulfilled when Christ appeared in flesh.

      *A few other References Seen as written Afore time, yet Fulfilled :

• Isaiah 40:3-5 - Luke 3:1-5 Psalm 69:21 - Matthew 27:34
• Psalm 22:1 - Matthew 27:45 (Suffering of the Messiah)
• Luke 22:47 - Psalm 41:9 -  John 13:18 - Acts 1:16 - Luke 22:47 (Judas betrayal)
• Isaiah 55:3 - Acts 13:34
• Psalm 2:7 - Acts 13:33 - Hebrews 1:5
• Deut 27:26 - Galatians 3:10 **
• Chapter Luke 4

* didn't go deep into the Laws , I just wanted to point out the understanding of the scripture Matthew 5:17 , which the " Hebrew Israelite's " have pointed out as the scripture is to why we are still under the law, which we are Not.. Jesus Christ is the end of the Law.

                               “ Commending of Man “

• Commending - praise formally or officially ; commit or in-trust someone

    I firstly thank the Most High for his knowledge, wisdom and all understanding according to his word. I continually pondered on this matter of “ men commending themselves “ daily , and begin to study and rightly divide the word of God and hoped he would give me a revelation. So , I bring you to 2 Corinthians 10: 12 , “ For we Dare not make ourselves of the number , or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves , are NOT wise. But we will NOT boast of things without our measure , but according to the rule which God had distributed to us , a measure to reach even unto you.. “ , For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth -vs 18. Those scriptures simply teach us that we should not be comparing ourselves of one another according to the Gospel of Christ and/ or the Holy Spirit, for we are ALL partakers of the Body of Christ ; and it is NOT by our works we are able to minister, save, heal , deliver , etc ; but according to the measure of the POWER of God who works in US.. “He who is a Jew , is one inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart , in the spirit, and not in the letter ; Whose praise is Not of men, but of God”.- Romans 2:29

    As mankind , we seem to get BOLD in our Flesh , and want to have this huge platform and title to do the service of God forgetting Philippians 2:6-7 “ Christ Jesus , being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God : But made himself of no reputation, and took upon himself the form of a Servant , and was made in the likeness of men “ he humbled himself , and was obedient unto death.. “ , remember to not only just read the scriptures , believe them and walk in them , this word is set to an en-sample for OUR Sake , how we should walk in holiness. God thought it not robbery, to take the praise of one he came out from , but knew all Glory was given to the Most High. Throughout the word Jesus always made known , “ He came to do the works in HIS Father’s name , not himself ; but as His Father taught he speaks.” In John 8:50 Jesus said “ And I seek Not mine OWN Glory : there is one that seeketh and judgeth.” We are here to be servants of Christ , he trusted US with his gospel , even so we speak , not as pleasing men, but GOD which trieth our Hearts. Without Christ we have no justification , no righteousness, we are still in a sinful state , separated from Him. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God.
In Acts 3 , there was a man lame from his mother's womb that sat by the temple called " Beautiful " , that begged of alms from those who walked by; fastening his eyes upon Peter & John , Peter spoke to him " Silver and God I have none , but as I have give thee " In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up & walk. That lame man who was then Healed by the power of GOD begin to leap , walk & praise God. People begin to marvel at Peter , but Peter spoke unto the people " Why are you surprised at this ? , Why do you look so earnestly upon us , As though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk ? <<< that very answer Peter had given unto the people amazed me because he looked for no glory, no commending from the people , but Gave ALL GLORY to the Most High.

 In Acts 12: 21-23 “ A king Herod had sat upon his throne, arrayed in royal and made a Speech unto the people, the people gave a shout saying “ It is the voice of a God and Not of a Man “ , immediately the angle of the Lord smote him , BECAUSE “ he gave Not God the Glory , and was eaten of worms and gave up the Ghost “ .. remember , in Matthew 7:21-22 “ he said Many shall say Lord Lord, shall not enter, they will say Lord “ have I not prophesied in thy name, cast out many devils “ , and he shall say depart from me ye that work iniquity I never knew you , because It’s the power of God that’s doing the work through us , we are his dwelling place , he doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands , but we are his temple. Remember your Commending is for the one who Is Righteous , without sin , who was without fault and walked here in Flesh and Overcame ALL SIN. Not MAN . When we speak the word of God it should Not be “ the word of men , but as it is in truth , the Word of God which effectually worketh in those who Believe “ .  

ONE LORD . ONE FAITH. ONE BAPTISM. ONE MIND. ONE ACCORD. ONE SPIRIT.

                  " CHRIST'S DWELLING " 

I want to give the Body of Christ an understanding on Christ's dwelling place, which is the temple, who WE are. Christ wrote in 2 Corn 6:16 " What agreement hath the temple of God with Idols? For ye , are the temple of God. I will Dwell in them, walk in them, and be their God and they shall be unto me sons and daughters. Acts 17;24-27 , " God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Dwelleth NOT in Temples made with Hands ; Neither is worshipped with men's man , ( for we worship him in spirit and in truth) , as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.

    God is speaking concerning the Church which is " the body of Christ" , we are His Dwelling place, He dwells in US that we his people will do the very work of Him; That's why we are to present ourselves as Living Sacrifices, Holy and Acceptable unto Him NOT Defiling the temple. Christ does Not dwell in temples made with hands speaking of the buildings we call "church". The Lord has called that idols, simply because many run to those buildings supposing they are saved rather than running to him. MANY have gone worshipping and serving the Creature ( MAN) more than the Creator (CHRIST) -Romans 1:25

   You rather present yourselves in " Church" and the involvement of ministries rather than seek him with your whole Heart, let the spirit of God teach you, Study to shew thyself Approved. SEEK Him & Not Man's  Wisdom but Hear what the LORD says.  He says " these people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me ,  in Vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the  commandments of Men - Mathew 15:8-9

 - So many of us have ran into those who say " Yes, I am a Christian .. I go to church every Sunday " they think going into a building and listening to one who teaches is going to save them.. we're so caught up into these traditions made by the world , When it's the Faith in Christ, Belief and Confession unto Salvation, Being a Doer of His Word and NOT just a Hearer , we are to be unspotted from the world. 

The gospel preached of me is not after man, For I Neither received it of Man neither was TAUGHT by man , but the Revelation of Christ. I encourage you to become intimate with your Creator, who is able to present you faultless in the presence of His Glory. - Galatians 1:11-12
