You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of people (in the year 2024) ~1 Corinthians 7:23
Who Am I?
Jesus
answered, 'Is it not written in your law, “I said, you are gods”? If those to
whom the word of God came were called “gods”—and the scripture cannot be
annulled ~John 10:34-35
Lesson 1: I am a god
but I just don’t know that I am. Nobody tells me this to help me wake up the
Giant in me. Sometimes I am even being asked to pay for not knowing. Therefore,
I have been told I have to look for myself somewhere
The Coming of the Kingdom of God
Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the
kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not
something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’
or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[a]~Luke
17: 20 -21
Lesson 2: The kingdom
of God is within me and I was born pregnant with it. I carry everything I need because
I just don’t know. Yet somebody has been busy convincing me that I have nothing
and that I need them to get my piece of the kingdom pie. And the worst is
that they want me to worship them as well
What about tithe? Are you
a thief?
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that
your fields produce each year.23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new
wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the
presence of the Lord your God at the place he
will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to
revere the Lord your God always.24 But if that place is too distant and you
have been blessed by the Lord your
God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away),25 then exchange your tithe for silver,
and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.26 Use the silver to buy
whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or
anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence
of the Lord your God and rejoice
Lesson 3: read again and pick what suits you from Deuteronomy
Truly there is an evil
....
There
is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from
the ruler: folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes
walking as servants upon the earth. Eccl 10:5-7
Lesson 4: The Gold I think that I don't deserve, that's what I deserve
But who has bewitched
us?
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number
of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their
ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. ~ 2 Timothy 4:3-4
The Choice is yours
