[1/18, 4:32 PM] Dr. G A Oruntomoni: GOD FIRST LOVE AND COMMENDED HIS LOVE TO US WARD.
HE EXPECTS US TO RECEIVE AND ACCEPT THE LOVE, IN DOING THAT, THAT WE COMMEND SAME TOWARDS HIM AND THOSE AROUND US.
The challenge and point of Christian crisis is that we leave commending the love towards God and others and keep lifting up the gift the love brought to us, and relegate the LOVE that ought to have been carried as ensign on our heads to the ground. Offences upon offences because of lack of love.
Jn. 3:16 '' For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son...''
By this it is clear that without LOVE there would have been no Salvation.
1st Cor.12:7 '' The manifestation of the Spirit is GIVEN to every man to profit withal.''
There is the prove here showing that the gift of the Spirit that the gifted is corrupting through mishandling was given. So the entrance into the gifts of the Spirit is still LOVE. That we ought to lift up, people who focus on love don't have the time to pride themselves in the gift.
Can I shuck you ?
Gal. 5:22 Says '' but the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, ''
The fruits bearing is also preceded by Love. The entrance to fruiting the fruits of the Holy Spirit is LOVE.
Anything we do in the Kingdom that is not propelled by LOVE forget it, it does not have eternal value.
Love is sound minded but not proud, so sound mind should not be taken for pride. That is why Paul enjoined us to study to show ourselves approved !
Making people feel pulling crowds is the ultimate ! Hen! I think we should look at the other side too. I am not against having the crowd, but we shouldn't make it appear as the passport to heaven or regard it as the only way to be blessed in the ministry. Those who are not sound in doctrine and in they way can be led astray, looking for powers, and you know how God will look at you who makes any of these little ones to fall. Rather tell your stories to encourage upcomers and not to condemn as if it is because you know how to do it ! Remember it is grace, it is given, if you received it don't condemn others by it, you can not be the last, the age is not ending at you. Your time is not going to be forevermore. What you praise yourself for today will be mini to what the upcomers would do after you.
You don't gain honour by condemning others, but people will respect and give you honour when you humbly conduct yourself and be a source of encouragement to them.
Tell them the truth, not every body will gather crowd but that they struggle to be among the few.
Crowds that will be properly Pastored, genuinely born of the Holy Spirit.
Above all never allow the devil borrow your mouth to reproach who Jesus died for. What are looking for ! what are trying to prove, what are you up to ?
The label you call them doesn't matter, God says he will plead their cause.
B E W A R E !!!
keeping quiet makes one an accomplish.
[1/19, 4:21 PM] Dr. G A Oruntomoni: Topic: Stop reproaching others because of what they are passing through.
Scripture: Joshua 5:8-12, Text:vs9.
Intro: To reproach means to criticize somebody or something.
It is an act of naming a fault, it is a state of disgrace or discredit - according to advance learner's dictionary.
Reproach points out someone's weakness without consideration.
Reproach is the error you fall into when you impose yourself on someone because you have the advantage.
Condemning others with ignominy is reproach. (When you say ''get up''×2 without stretching your hands to raise such him up ! Peter stretched forth his hand and raised the lame man up) and it is common in Christendom, than it is in other persuasions.
To reproach one means to speak derogatorily of him in his situation which you know, thinking you are better. 2Cor.11:21.
THE EFFECTS OF REPROACH.
Reproach is so evil that is has effect on the person reproached, the fellow reproaching, and on God.
We shall look at it in the following three ways :-
1. The effect on the person reproached.
- Ps. 69:20. Reproach breaks the heart; it demoralises, it defuses, it makes the mind to become heavy.
2. The effect on the fellow reproaching God's people.
- Ps. 15:1-3. Reproach disqualifies the fellow reproaching God's people from dwelling in the Holy hill of God.
- Ps. 69:20. Makes God see you as heart breaker
- Prov. 14:31. You reproach your maker, your God because it amount to oppressing the poor.
- Prov. 17:5. Makes you claim gladness over the calamities of the poor, thereby mocking God their maker.
3. The effect on God.
- Ps. 15:3. God is disobeyed, because he says do not take up reproach against your neighbour.
- Ps. 22:6. God is made to hear the cry of those he ordained to give him praise. He however sets up their deliverance.
- Isa. 57:7. God sends from heaven to save them that are almost been swallowed by reproach.
WHAT YOUR RESPONSE SHOULD BE WHEN MEN REPROACH YOU.
* Fear not the reproaches of men. Isa. 51:7.
* I have a goodnews for you- God will save you. Ps. 47:3.
* You will remember it no more. Isa.54:4.
Further more, men will reproach you for Christ sake, bear it ! Luk.6:22. It doesn't matter if they are right or wrong, make yourself right with Jesus. The glory that is to be revealed is far more weightier.
Be happy, for happy are ye when men reproach you for Christ's sake.
1stPet.4:14, 2ndCor.12:10
He rolled away the reproach of the people of old he will roll away ours too ijn Joshua 5:9.
- Ps. 55:12 expect reproach from those you think are friends, like in the case of King David who said, if it were my enemies who reproached me I would not have counted it, but my very friends have reproached me.
- 1stTim.4:10 says we will both labour and suffer reproach. So count it not strange !
My Conclusion : -
Paul says, not he that commendeth himself that is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth - 2nd Cor. 10:18.
I speak as concerning reproach as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, ( I speak foolishly) I am bold also. 2nd Cor.11:21.
Let us Pray.
May the Lord deliver us and put us in order to the very face of those reproaching us ijn
[1/23, 8:46 PM] Dr. G A Oruntomoni: LAST WEEK OF THE 3WEEKS PRAYER AND FASTING.

Prayer is an act of calling unto God Jer.33:3A,

Prayer is - Reminding God his promises - 2nd Pet.1:4 Are given unto us exceeding great & precious promises.
In Gen. 32:6 -12 Jacob was greatly distressed and in fear, he prayed reminding God of his promises of protection.
Neh.1: 3-11(Nehemiah prayed) Remember... the word that thou commandeth thy servant Moses.
