“PARTICIPATION THAT COUNTS!” 1 Timothy 4:8; For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. “PARTICIPATION THAT COUNTS!” Matthew 26:58; But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. This participation, was how he wanted to participate. It’s not the participation that the Lord calls us for. Romans 14:22; Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Matthew 26:69; Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. v70; But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. Participation that counts in the Lord has stability. 2 Timothy 4:2; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Peter participation at this time, was non existent, it had no public viewing. Galatians 5:13; For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. “PARTICIPATION THAT COUNTS!” Judges 6:13; And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. v14; And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? Participation that counts in the Lord, will always be the way he sent you. 1 Corinthians 5:3; For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 2 Corinthians 5:8; We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Isaiah 55:11; So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Romans 8:28; And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. “PARTICIPATION THAT COUNTS!” Judges 6:17; And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me. v19; And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. When you try to participate on your terms, it will always show a weakness, and come to nought. Matthew 26:41; Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Judges 6:20; And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. v21; Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. Participation that counts, will have a show of what you are doing is by the book. 1 Samuel 3:19; And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. 2 Peter 1:10; Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. Judges 6:22; And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face. Participation that counts, will show confidence as you arrive. Philippians 1:6; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. “PARTICIPATION THAT COUNTS!” Teaching!

To Be A Stranger, means without yourself! John 15:4; Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. v5; I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. “ESTRANGED!” Luke 17:15; And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, v16; And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. v17; And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? To Be A Stranger! Is another whole being! Hebrews 10:5; Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. Luke 17:18; There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. v19; And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. A Strange Being Is Known Of God!

“EFFORT, THE PURSUING OF LEAVING YOURSELF!” Romans 7:23; But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. v41; And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, v43; And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea.

“WHAT GOD IS THAT, THAT YOU SAY YOU HAVE, AND YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO IN THE WORLD?” Philippians 4:18; But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. v19; But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. “WHAT GOD IS THAT YOU SAY YOU HAVE, AND YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO IN THE WORLD?” 2 Kings 5:1; Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. What God that you have would allow you without instructions, to serve him and be unclean. 2 Corinthians 7:1,10; v10; For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2 Kings 5:3; And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. v8; And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. v9; So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. v10; And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. What God is that, that would allow you to remain standing? 2 Corinthians 6:16; And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. “WHAT GOD IS THAT, THAT YOU SAY YOU HAVE, AND YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO IN THE WORLD?” 2 Kings 5:11; But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. What God that you have, that makes you think you can be clean of yourself? Galatians 6:3; For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 2 Kings 5:12-16; v12; Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean?

And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. v26; And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee?

“THE FEAR OF LEAVING YOURSELF, TO PUT ON CHRIST!” In today’s church we have so many alternative of opinions of being in Christ, because of a fear of leaving yourself (Romans 12:1-2). But at the same time you also want a fair showing of a love of being in Christ (Matthew 6:24). There isn’t any alternative with this matter, the one word of God is simply explained on such a matter (2 Corinthians 11:3). 1 Kings 18:21; And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. There is no excuse for such a resistance to a striving too. Romans 13:14; But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. “THE FEAR OF LEAVING YOURSELF, TO PUT ON CHRIST!” This is a why? Your coming to the Lord Jesus Christ has been in lack! John 21:15; So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. This is a love for the sake of the Lord. 1 John 3:1; Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Conjoined! 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Galatians 5:16; This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. John 21:16; He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. This a love for the sake of not showing you are ashamed before the world. 1 Peter 3:15; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

John 6:57; As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. v60; Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? v61; When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? Pretenders; Matthew 13:20; But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; (This is what happens when you just have an outside appearance. But shortly after you leave. You exhibit what’s on the inside.) v21; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Pretenders with regularity miss the kingdom. Matthew 26:58; But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. v69; Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. v70; But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. The kingdom shows an inward character. Matthew 12:34; O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Pretenders; Acts 19:13; Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. An act without the character. Hebrews 5:13; For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. Acts 19:14; And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. v15; And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? An outside appearance shows apart, but the inside being shows the character. Galatians 3:3; Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Acts 19:16; And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Pretenders, have the darkening effect. 2 Peter 3:17; Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

“MAKE ME FIRST!” Do you remind yourself often, what’s the reason you’re coming to the Lord? Colossians 1:27; To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Is it his  image and likeness? Genesis 1:26; And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Your future? Galatians 2:20; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. God calls us all to loyalty. Deuteronomy 4:24; For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. “MAKE ME FIRST!” It’s something you have to one day come to grip with. Hebrews 10:23; Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Matthew 25:21; His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. “MAKE ME FIRST!” Its something you have to be dutifully firm. 1 Corinthians 2:2; For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. “MAKE ME FIRST!” 1 Kings 17:10; So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. One thing the people of God are so forgetful in. You can’t start making him first, until you are fading out the picture, widow woman. Exodus 20:3; Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 1 Kings 17:11; And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. To do it takes more than your word. Hebrews 10:5; Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. “MAKE ME FIRST!” 1 Kings 17:12; And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. Make me first, is a being you don’t take off for. Do you want to die by your own hand? 1 Samuel 7:3; And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. It’s a mindset and a heart fixed, that you are acquainted with, and at peace with it (Job 22:21.) “MAKE ME FIRST!” 1 Kings 17:13; And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. You will exist, but you just want be first. 2 Corinthians 4:10; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Corinthians 10:3; For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. 1 Kings 17:14; For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. Sustain that doing. Colossians 3:2; Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Be patience with what you’re doing. James 1:4; But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 1 Kings 17:15; And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. Make me first. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto me. 1 Kings 17:16; And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. Make me first, you being me. 2 Timothy 2:13; If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. “MAKE ME FIRST!” Teaching!” Overseer/Apostle

“GET OVER YOURSELF. HUMILITY OVER ARROGANCE!” Philippians 2:5; Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. v6; Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Humility Over Arrogance; Philippians 1:21; For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 2:7; But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.

Humility Over Arrogance; 2 Timothy 1:12; For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Get Over Yourself, that’s humbling oneself to the point of death!

Humility Over Arrogance; a risky life. A life you have nothing to prove. 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: v7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. “GET OVER YOURSELF. HUMILITY OVER ARROGANCE!” James 4:6; But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. “GET OVER YOURSELF. HUMILITY OVER ARROGANCE!” Teaching!

But she told not her husband Nabal. When you love him more it’s not something you just talk about, it’s something you do. Hebrews 10:5; Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. “QUIT SAYING HELP ME LORD, LOVE YOU MORE. AN JUST GONE ON AND DO IT, ITS IN YOUR OWN POWER!” 1 Samuel 25:23; And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, v24; And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid. When you love him more, it will show in accounts. 1 Peter 4:8; And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. “QUIT SAYING HELP ME LORD, LOVE YOU MORE. AND JUST GONE ON AND DO IT, ITS IN YOUR OWN POWER!” 1 Samuel 25:25; Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

AND JUST GONE ON AND DO IT, ITS IN YOUR OWN POWER!” 1 Samuel 25:35; So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

“THAT HUMBLE DID IT!” 1 Kings 15:11; And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father. v14; But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the Lord all his days. High places not removed; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Chronicles 16:7; And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. v10; Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time. A relied on, a high place; Matthew 6:24; No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Revelation 3:15; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. v16; So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 2 Chronicles 16:12; And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians. He didn’t allow that humble to do it.

When you take away the importance of your being. A humbling effect takes place, draw and cleansing. James 4:8; Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Genesis 39:9; There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Humble will show the greater is he that is in you, being. 1 John 4:4; Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 Corinthians 9:27; But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. Genesis 50:20; But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. And finally when That Humble Did It, it will save you much. 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: v7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. THAT HUMBLE DID IT, is to make you low. Micah 6:8; He hath shewed thee, o man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? “THAT HUMBLE DID IT!” Teaching!
