Do not Judge!
“All
right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” (John 8:7
NLT). Cat
caught your tongue?
1. “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2. For you will be treated as you treat
others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be
judged. (Matthew 7: 1- 2 New Living Translation).
3. Why would you
focus on the flaw in someone else’s life and yet fail to notice the glaring
flaws of your own? 4. How
could you say to your friend, ‘Let me show you where you’re wrong,’ when you’re
guilty of even more? 5. You’re
being hypercritical and a hypocrite! First acknowledge your own ‘blind spots’
and deal with them, and then you’ll be capable of dealing with the ‘blind spot’
of your friend. (Matthew 7: 3-5 The Passion
Translation).
Do not judge
others!

Think and walk like an heir of God
I have seen slaves on
horseback, while princes go on foot like slaves. (Ecclesiastes 10:7 NIV). 15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you
fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his
own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” 16 For his Spirit joins with our
spirit to affirm that we are God’s children, 17 and if children,
then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. (Romans
8:15-17). But
we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16 ESV).
Think and walk like an heir of God.
Shalom.

One day
Jesus taught the apostles to keep praying and never stop or lose hope. He
shared with them this illustration:
2 “In a certain town there was a civil judge, a
thick-skinned and godless man who had no fear of others’ opinions. 3 And there was a poor widow in that town who
kept pleading with the judge, ‘Grant me justice and protect me against my
oppressor!’
4–5 “He ignored her pleas for quite some time, but she kept
asking. Eventually he said to himself, ‘This widow keeps annoying me, demanding
her rights, and I’m tired of listening to her. Even though I’m not a religious
man and don’t care about the opinions of others, I’ll just get her off my back
by answering her claims for justice and I’ll rule in her favour. Then she’ll
leave me alone.’”
6 The Lord continued, “Did you hear what the ungodly judge
said—that he would answer her persistent request? 7 Don’t you know that God, the true judge, will
grant justice to all of his chosen ones who cry out to him night and day? He
will pour out his Spirit upon them. He will not delay to answer you and
give you what you ask for. 8 God will give swift justice to those who
don’t give up. So be ever praying, ever expecting, just like the widow was with
the judge. Yet when the Son of Man comes back, will he find this kind of
persistent faithfulness in his people?” (Luke 18: 1-8 The Passion Translation).
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians
5:17 NKJV).
“The secret of praying is
praying in secret.” (
I've got my ONE thing
Since Monday, I’ve been thinking
about my ONE thing.
Study this Book of Instruction continually.
Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in
it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. (Joshua 1: 8
NLT).
This Book
of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it
day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in
it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good
success. (Joshua 1: 8 NKJV).
This Book of the
Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it
day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with
all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then
you will be successful. (Joshua 1: 8
AMP).

6 But without faith it is
impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God
must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who
[earnestly and diligently] seek Him.
7 By faith [with confidence in God and His
word] Noah, being warned by God about
events not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his
family. By this [act of obedience] he condemned the world and became an heir of
the righteousness which comes by faith.
(Hebrew 11:6-7 AMP).
7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of
things not yet seen, moved with godly fear prepared an ark for the saving of
his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the
righteousness which is according to faith. (Hebrew 11:6-7 NKJV).
6 And without faith living within us it would
be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is
real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and
strength into seeking him.
7 Faith opened Noah’s heart to receive
revelation and warnings from God about what was coming, even things that had
never been seen. But he stepped out in reverent obedience to God and built an
ark that would save him and his family. By his faith the world was condemned,
but Noah received God’s gift of righteousness that comes by believing.
(Hebrew 11:6-7 The Passion Translation).
I am made right with God through faith.
I have complete belief, trust and confidence
in God.

Pulling down strongholds
3.For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war according to the flesh. 4.For the weapons of our
warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling
down strongholds, 5.casting down arguments and every high thing that
exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ. (2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 NKJV).

What do you see?
What do you see?
How do you see challenges, obstacles or
problems?
Blessings are hidden in problems and
challenges.
Money and wealth are disguised as problems.
How do you see challenges, problems at your
place of work?
Do you complain and remain or praise God and
be raised?
Do you see an opportunity to get promoted or complain
and remain static?
Joseph’s brother threw him in a hole and he
eventually got them out of a hole when he became prime minister. Joseph told his
brothers: Even though you planned evil against me, God planned good to come out
of it. (Genesis 50:20 God’s Word Translation).
Goliath at over 9 feet tall was a giant that
no one wanted to fight. Everyone was petrified of him and couldn’t see beyond
the mountain of a man:
24 As soon as the Israelite army saw him,
they began to run away in fright. 25 “Have you
seen the giant?” the men asked. “He comes out each day to defy Israel. The king
has offered a huge reward to anyone who kills him. He will give that man one of
his daughters for a wife, and the man’s entire family will be exempted from
paying taxes!” (1 Samuel 17:24-25 NLT).
David could not believe the deal, what a fantastic
opportunity. David sought to ask two people to confirm what he heard was
true. The reward for solving the problem was:
1. Money
2. Marriage to the king's daughter and promotion to the royal family
3. Family exemption from taxes
Wow! Everyone saw a mountain of a problem; David
saw a mountain of an opportunity.
Goliath is a giant of a man, if I sling a
stone at him I cannot miss. David could see beyond the mountain. He could
see how to flatten the mountain to press ahead.
When
Goliath started forward, David ran toward him. 49 He
put a rock in his sling and swung the sling around by its straps. When he let
go of one strap, the rock flew out and hit Goliath on the forehead. It cracked
his skull, and he fell face down on the ground. 50 David
defeated Goliath with a sling and a rock. He killed him without even using a
sword. (1 Samuel 17:49-50 NLT).
Note: David ran to
confront Goliath. Face your challenges head on. Don’t hide or run from them. Look
for a solution, a way out. Look for something that no one else sees. What do you see?
If you need wisdom, ask our
generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
(James 1:5 NLT).
We all experience times of
testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to
you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test
or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to
trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of
escape that will bring you out of it victoriously. (1 Corinthians 10:13 The
Passion Translation). David could see that Goliath was a giant,
that if he threw a stone at him he could not but hit the target?
What do you see?
Shalom.

I've got my ONE thing
Since Monday, I’ve been thinking about my ONE
thing.
But more than anything else,
put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours
as well. (Matthew 6:33 Contemporary
English Version).
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added to you. (NKJV).
But
first and most importantly seek
(aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and
character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. (AMP)
So
above all, constantly chase after the realm of God’s kingdom and the
righteousness that proceeds from him. Then all these less important things will
be given to you abundantly. (The Passion Translation).

Pump it up! Pump it up!
How fit are you?
But the people who know
their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. (Daniel
11:32). But the people who [are spiritually mature and] know their God
will display strength and take action [to resist]. (AMP). Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (Ephesians 6:10 NLT). It’s knowledge of the mighty power of God.
I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty. (Philippians 4:12-13 TPT).
In these current unprecedented times, it’s
important to keep fit but the only way to overcome is to pump up your faith
with the word of God. This Book of the
Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it
day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with
all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then
you will be successful. (Joshua 1:8 AMP).
How often do you keep yourself fit on the word of God?
How strong is your belief in God?
Without faith it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6).
How strong is your faith?

The fruit of the Spirit
22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His
presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace,
patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness,
self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23 AMP). The
fruit you struggle with the most is the one that will be used to discipline and
correct you.
19 Those whom I [dearly
and tenderly] love, I rebuke and discipline [showing
them their faults and instructing them]; so be
enthusiastic and repent [change your inner self—your old way of
thinking, your sinful behaviour—seek God’s will]. (Revelation 3:19 AMP).
You’ve got to change the way you think, renew
your mind by allowing the Holy Spirit to change you from the inside out. God has
blessed you but access to the blessing is based on your willingness to renew
your mind and mature spiritually.
Be transformed and progressively
changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on
godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves]
what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His
plan and purpose for you]. (Romans 12:2 AMP).
Are
you actually conscious of the nine fruits?
Do
you constantly check whether you exhibit these fruits in your daily
interactions with others?
Do
your colleagues at work see love, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness,
kindness, joy and self-control in you?
Jesus said: 15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as
harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way
they act. Just as you can
identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
(Matthew 7:15-16, 20).
For
all who are led by the Spirit are the children of God (Romans 8:14). Children
of God are identified by their fruit: does your fruit instantly identify you as
a child of God?

Pursue love first and foremost!
1. If I
were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly
tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with love, my words
would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal.
2. And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound
understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural
knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but
have never learned to love, then I am nothing.
13. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which
you run. (1 Corinthians 13:1-2,13 The
Passion Translation TPT).
There are nine fruits of the Spirit. The
first fruit is love. (Galatians 5:22).
Pursue love first and foremost and the
other eight gifts will begin to fall into line.
Shalom.
Please like/follow our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/spicysoup4heirs/ You must desire spiritual gifts!
Do you desire spiritual gifts?
4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts,
but the same Spirit is the source of them all. 5 There are different kinds of service, but we
serve the same Lord. 6 God works in different ways, but it is the
same God who does the work in all of us.
7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we
can help each other. 8 To one
person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same
Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. 9 The same Spirit gives great
faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives
one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy.
He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the
Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability
to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret
what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes
all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have. (1
Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
You must desire spiritual gifts - which one do you desire?

Living by the Spirit’s Power
19.When
you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear:
sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20.idolatry, sorcery,
hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition,
dissension, division, 21.envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other
sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living
that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22. But
the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23. gentleness, and
self-control. There is no law against these things!
24.Those
who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful
nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25.Since we are living
by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26. Let
us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. (Galatians
5:16-26 New Living Translation).
6.So letting your sinful nature control
your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to
life and peace. 7.For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did
obey God’s laws, and it never will. 8.That’s
why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never
please God.
But if through the power of the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. 14.For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of
God. (Romans 8:6-8,13 -14 New Living Translation).
Shalom.

Who is the world’s greatest Preacher?
All Scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16 NKJV). God
wrote the bible.
Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the
works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these
he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12 NKJV). Did Jesus rule
himself out?
7Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your
advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to
you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8And when He has come,
He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement (John
16:7-8 NKJV).
19When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with
them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honour at God’s
right hand. 20And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the
Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.
(Mark 16:19-20 NLT).
Who is the world’s
greatest preacher? Is it:
A.
God?
B.
Jesus?
C.
Holy
Spirit (aka the Helper)?
D.
A Pastor
from the USA?
E.
A
Pastor not from the USA?
