Narcissism Is Epidemic

Psalms 9:20 (KJV)

[20] Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Narcissism: self-centered personality, excessive interest in one’s self! In love with yourself.

We often forget we are but men!

Whether we are a nation or as an individual, it is important, not to forget who we are!

Before we can fully comprehend who God is, we need to understand who we are not!

One may appear to be a follower of Christ on the outside, but until He discovers that “He Is But A Man,” his perception and loyalty to God will be faulty.

To Be But Men…Is Revelatory! and a Hidden Blessing!

Better That You Discover This Than God Showing You…

The Precipitated Lie?

Acts 5:8 (KJV)

[8] And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

No doubt, the single most Devastating  event in the early New Testament church!

Ananias and Sapphira dead from a lie! At the feet of the apostles by the hand of God!

•What could possibly cause a man and wife to end up this way?

•What precipitated the lie?

Could it have been an attitude?

*Consider Your Offerings-

When the Sacrifice felt is greater than the Reward Eternally,

it ceases to be a Blessing to the Kingdom of God…

Luke 13:25 (KJV)

[25] When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

As much as Jesus taught he stressed a point that many weren’t listening to….

• Few would walk the Narrow Road

• Only One out of Four Grounds would produce

• Only Five out of 10 Virgins would enter in to the wedding

• Only The Final Few Invited to the Supper would actually come.

• Many would come to a shut door and not have the password.

Really, God Hasn’t Made Heaven a Hard Place to Enter!

The Secrets To Success!

Luke 6:38 (KJV)

[38] Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Lessons from the Master…

Jesus was teaching keys of success to his disciples.

No, other Author has ever written,

No other words have more weight, Than when Jesus speaks!

God Gave Them

1 Peter 4:11

Are You Ready To Take Communion?

1 Corinthians 11:28 (KJV)

[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

Communion Is One of The Most Sacred Events for A New Testament Child of God!

Communion Is Intimately Sharing In The Greatest Sacrifice With The One We Call Savior!

There Is No Worship or Sacrifice a Christian Can Offer To Christ Greater Than This Single Act!

Taking Communion…and Foot-washing.

Taking Communion Speaks Volumes of Your Promise to God and Denial of The World.

Your Solemn Pledge and Allegiance To A Greater Calling That Separates Us, As Outcasts and Undesirables to The World!

Acknowledging That We’re Pilgrims Just Passing Through To A Better Place.

(Examination) Is Paramount As To Not Treat “Taking Communion” As Common or Deserved!

Make No Mistake-You Must Qualify

The Consequences Are Eternal…

The Paradox Is-

To Not Take Communion Is Akin To Forsaking, Abandoning and Insulting Jesus Christ!

Thus Not Being Ready To Take Communion Is Deemed as Selfish Unwillingness to Prepare and  Obey Christ Who Requires This Participation…

*He said that unwillingness to participate results in having no part in him!

*Are You Ready, Have You Examined Yourself?

When Jesus Comes Back-

He’s Not Coming for Part Time Casual Christians…

Watch Night Service-

Is The Bride Preparing Herself for That Long Awaited Event,

The Soon Coming of The Bridegroom!

**Finally, I’m Asking, Are You Ready To Take Communion?
