Topic: When Praises Go Wrong
Memory Verse: We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us a sphere which especially includes you. 2 Corinthians 10:13
Main Texts: I Samuel 18:1-9
Word For Thought: All praises go to the Lord the one who made us, not us.
If you want your destiny to run on course, please be careful
when men praise you. Don’t allow it to sink into you. Remember that when men
say you are good, maybe they have seen only the good side of you, they have
seen only the outside but not the beauty or the ugly in the inside. Allow only the one who
can see from the inside and out to praise you. Noah was praised by God; Job was
praised both in the inside and out by God.
God searches the heart, man looks at the outside, appearance
may be deceptive, but the creator will never go wrong about His products. All
praises must be directed to the creator, creation has no praise, so be careful
when men praise you. You are clay in the hands of the creator the master, He molds
destinies and purpose. We are just vessels, no matter how precious a vessel is,
it is of no importance, when it loses value.
According to Hall of Famer, John Wooden, “You can't let
praise or criticism gets to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either
one.” Apostle Paul said “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.
What we do each day is by grace. These messages I write is all by grace, out my
very busy and tight schedule, yet God drops messages into my heart each day, I owe
no credits in this, it is a provision straight from God. Who am I to boast in
this, when I didn’t even do well in many of my English courses, yet by grace I have
many books in me. It takes grace, not chances, chances just happen, but grace brings
it to life.
David in our main text for today, did nothing when the women
were praising him. He allowed them to sing their very badly composed music. This
music is the reason why he has to live in the deserts and in the forests of
life. David and Saul had a perfect relationship, in fact, it was a father and
son relationship, until the praises song went wrong. Dear, don’t accept praises,
direct them to God before you land your career or destiny in the forests and deserts
of life. Have blessed-full week, please
keep me in your prayers. God bless you.
Note this:
God loves us that He demonstrated his Love by giving us Jesus. If you are not born again, you are not His child, you have no coverage over your life and family, this message may not benefit you. Because of sin God cannot hear and rescue you. Your life is limited with no divine inheritance, no direction, and failure is not an option. Moreover, you are a candidate of hell fire. If you want to be born again by giving your life to Christ, pray this prayer
“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”'
