PUT GOD FIRST - PART I

 

Respect, Honor, Polite Attitudes with the utmost of praise unto The Heavenly Father is not a demand of the Heavenly Father but is instead very welcomed and appreciated by Him!

 

As God told Abraham!

 

Genesis 12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

 

Moses and King David also remembered what the Lord said

to Abraham!

 

Psalm 115:13  He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

 

Jesus The Son of God said!

 

Matthew 5:44  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

 

[But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you]

 

Four commands in Matthew 5:44:

 

1.   Love your enemies.

2.   Bless them that curse you.

3.   Do good to those that hate you.

4.   Pray for your persecutors.

 

These are four of over 1,050 commands in the New Testament to be obeyed by Christians. The universal impression in Christendom that there are 10 commandments to obey is far from the truth, there are many more then that!

 

New Testament Commands

 

There are 1,050 commands in the New Testament for Christians to obey. Due to repetitions we can classify them under about 800 headings.  They cover every phase of man's life in his relationship to God and his fellowmen, now and hereafter.  If obeyed, they will bring rich rewards here and forever; if disobeyed, they will bring condemnation and eternal punishment.  They are not to be confused with the 10 commandments which God gave unto Moses for Moses to give unto the Hebrew people which are also referred to as the Laws of Moses. However, they pertain to and involve them.

 

They are divided below under their various headings.

[that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city]

 

Two eternal rights of the redeemed:

 

1.   Right to the tree of life

2.   Right to enter the New Jerusalem

 

Luke 6:28  Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

 

Name written in the book of Life!

Put God First

Or your name could be erased or removed from that book!

He “is” God and you are not Him!

 

If, you do NOT honor Almighty God, then He is NOT required or obligated to honor you!

 

If, you do NOT place Him first in your life, then He is not obligated to place you first or for Him to hear your prayer of request or grant your request when you need the request answered. If you are One of His own, He will always answer, but He may wait a while before He answers!  

 

If you do NOT Know Jesus Christ the Son of God as your Lord and Saviour, then Almighty God The Heavenly Father will not receive your prayer of request, UNLESS you first REPENT of your sins and transgressions Against God AND CONFESS Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour And invite Jesus The Christ into your hear then at that time The Heavenly Father will listen to your prayer and grant the petition that you have made of Him!

 

Then, at that time you become one of His Own and will grant the petition that you have made of Him.

 

1 John 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: [15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

 

Shown below are Scriptures of when God

Will NOT listen to your prayers or voice!

 

Isaiah 1:15  And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

 

 

Isaiah 59:2  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

 

Jeremiah 6:19  Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

 

Jeremiah 7:16  Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

 

Jeremiah 11:14  Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

 

Jeremiah 14:12  When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

 

Ezekiel 8:18  Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

 

Micah 3:4  Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

 

Malachi 2:2  If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

 

People that do NOT take God serious

WILL suffer a penalty for it!

 

Put God first in your life

 

Leviticus 7:38  Which the Lord commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.

 

qorban,  kor-bawn'; or qurban, koor-bawn'; from Hebrew 7126 (qarab); something brought near the altar, i.e. a sacrificial present : oblation, that is offered, offering.

 

Since the time of Christ’s death, burial, Resurrection and Ascension unto Heaven this is now pertaining to the prayers of the Saints of God and to the prayer of repentance of the Sinner.

 

Ezekiel 20:40  For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

 

“Whosoever shall Call

Upon the Lord”

 

Joel 2:32  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

 

Acts 2:21  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

[whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved]

 

This will be true as long as there are sinners to repent.  There is no such doctrine in Scripture as the door of mercy being closed to Jews or Gentiles at any time before their death (Hebrews 9:27)

 

Romans 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

Put God first!

 

[whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved]

Quoted from Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21.  Believing on Christ and calling upon Him are in effect the same thing
(Romans 10:9-13).  Calling upon God presupposes faith in Him, and if one has faith he will call upon God in all times of need.

[Lord]

 

Paul uses the Greek: Kurios (GSN-2962), for the Hebrew Jehovah (HSN-3068) of Joel 2:32, proving that Jesus of Romans 10:9 is called Jehovah.  Thus there was more than one Jehovah in the Old Testament (Genesis 19:24).  Compare Psalm 110:1 with Matthew 22:44; Acts 2:34 where the same Greek word is used of both God and Christ in the Septuagint and the New Testament. It is translated "Lord" 667 times
as the equivalent of the Old Testament Jehovah (HSN-3068).

 

Have you put or placed Almighty God The Heavenly Father

first in your heart and life?

If you have, do you also keep Him in your heart or when you become

irate (angry), do you curse Him or use His name in vain or

Use the Name of HIS Son Jesus Christ, in vain?

 

If you have, then you have limited your blessings

From God!

 

Why don’t you pray and talk to Him right now?
