The Place of Honor

Everyone should understand the place of honor and should be humble and let God lead him/her to a place of honor. Jesus did not boast of his power or let pride take over his life, he gave God the glory and honor for all he did and God manifested himself through him. Luke 14: 1-14

Our Response to Victory

Your response and actions after victory matters just as much as your actions when you are in a place of need. If you prayed for a victory it is only right that you give all praise and honor to God when the victory is manifested. Do not only be humble when you need help or victory, be humble in victory and remember that God made it possible. Luke 17: 11-19

Listening and Doing

James 1:19 “Let every man be swift to hear and slow to speak and slow to become angry”. Some of us are temperamental and easily get angry and upset but we have to be careful, hence the bible teaches us to be slow to anger because James 1:20 advises that “human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires”.
Ecclesiastes 7: 9 “Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools”
Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin”[d]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry”

Faith and Works

It is not enough to call yourselves Christians and say you are holy, you need to show your faith through works. Show love to people around you and support them in areas that they are in need. Faith can be shown through acts, caring for others, encouraging through your words, service, wealth etc.

James 2:14-26 ” 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
