After the choir the “Heart of An Angels Praise Dancers” blessed the audience with an African style performance to commemorate “Black History Month.” Following the choir, Apostle Moses Gibson presented the speaker for the morning.
Our speaker was
Elder Martha Gibson. She came forward giving praises to
God while telling the audience sometime there are thing
beyond our control-understanding and comprehension.
However, it is hoped that you get something when you come
here that will make your life better. We must embellish
the “word” so we can get rid of those things that are not
edifying to our spiritual growth. We must tune into
where God is now, and learn where or who is “up” and who
is “down” When we get to that place we will be able to
pick one up who is down i.e. the saints that are seasoned
in the anointing of God’s divine spirit. We must stop
trying to operate in middle ground or part “spiritual” and
part “worldly” Can You imagine how much stronger we will
be spiritually? God promised us in His word we can
speak to the issues in our life.
Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils; For creature of God is good, and
nothing to be refused, if it be received with
thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and
prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these
things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ,
nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine,
where unto thou has attained. Let no man despise thy
youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word,
in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in
purity 1st
Timothy 4 chapter, and verses 1,4,5,6,and 12.
According to the
speaker, in these passages of scripture, Paul is calling
upon us to be role models. Whether we want to be or
not, we are all role models. So the question is an
individual one, WHAT KIND OF EXAMPLE AM I?" When we
personalize the question, we are not looking outside
ourselves for the answer. Paul reminds us in the
first verse that the Spirit would speak expressly in
latter time and some would depart from their faith, and
give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.
But as Believers in the Body of Christ, and as
Triumphians, we can't worry about the things we don't
understand.....If we are going to worry about anything,
then let it be with the things YOU DO understand and ARE
NOT doing! For you are setting an example for
somebody, and since you know that you should always be
making a conscious effort to the things that will be
edifying, and uplifting in the way of God. Our
families, our friends the world at large, and God Himself
are watching us, so we need to remain focused and set the
greatest example possible in times like these. We
are still learning. Your individual light is going
to be the only light that someone will ever see, so be
about the Father's business in making sure you are setting
a good example.
God we thank you for your word on today, and we ask that the words our ears have heard will sanction itself in our spirit so that we may be a great example and a positive light to a dying and sinful world.
“God bless
our speaker for such a profound word; take heed least any
man deceive you”
