The Secrets of the Lord's Prayer
After visiting many churches God has revealed the secret of the Lord's Prayer......
Matthew 6:9-13 New International Version (NIV)
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.11 Give us today our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Notice that the secret of the Lord's Prayer is that there is..... NO COMPLAINING!
I've visited many churches, both in the ghetto and suburban areas, and noticed one essential trait of a successful spirit filled church. Those churches who's congregation pray one long continuous complaint, which is more of a Christian rant than the worship of God, are often poor and struggling. While those churches that followed the example of the Lord's Prayer, and keep all complaints out of their worship of God, are truly spirit filled and successful. Complaints are nothing more than self-worship!
Notice that in the Parable of the Talents the wicked servant who hid his master's money had only complaints when asked why he didn't do anything worthwhile with the money that was given to him. It is the same with God. If anyone offers complaints to God rather than worship, God will treat that person like the wicked and lazy servant in the Parable of the Talents and take all of his money (blessings) and give it to all the non-complainers!
Stop Complaining to God! Complaints are self-worship! God does not reward complainers!
Mankind is suppose to perfect his worship of God...not his complaints to God!
Not believing in God's son Jesus Christ as the promised messiah is the ultimate complaint of man towards God. Those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour and redeemer will be put in the Paradise of the complainers...hell itself. If you don't want to join the other complainers in an eternity in hell then just believe in God's son Jesus Christ, God become man, and rest assured that you'll be in heaven for eternity where the complaint desk will go unattended and unused.
God Bless
note:
Many people have begun to turn religion in a' voodoo doll' where they show up to church just to stick pins in their 'complaint doll' to indulge their lust for self-worship. In fact many church pastors and lay persons will make themselves into the “High Priest Complainer” thinking that God will readily listen to the complaints of the pastor or lay person and act to rectify those complaints quickly.
Politics has become nothing but complaints and we see how God will not reward or help a complainer and therefore many social problems go unresolved and even get worse!
Marriages and relationships that are full of complaints are nothing more than people indulging in self-worship. And like the example of the wicked and lazy servant in the Parable of the Talents, God will take all of his blessings away from a marriage, or relationship, that is full of complaints.... AND GIVE IT TO ALL THE NON-COMPLAINERS!
Matthew 6:13
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Many churches are empty because of the above verse. Homosexuality is a temptation and God will honor Matthew 6:13 and lead his faithful away from those churches who have become advocates for the temptation of homosexuality!
Amen
Matthew 25:14-30 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Parable of the Talents
14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property.15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
