Music: RESPECT GOD'S SPIRIT, IN PEOPLE.
WELL, I HAVE BEEN LEAD TO WRITE ABOUT
MANY THINGS.THE MOST PRESSING NEED TO
THE KINGDOM RIGHT ABOUT NOW, IS
RESPECT.
WHY RESPECT SISTER NORLAN? BECAUSE IT
IS A VERY NEEDED THING TODAY!
I WILL START WITH A LITTLE STORY. MY SON
AT THE AGE OF THREE, CAME HOME WITH A
NEW WORD HE HEARD HIS FRIEND IN
SCHOOL SAYING,IN HIS NURSERY SCHOOL, IT
WAS "BUZZ OFF MUMMY!" HARM TO PARENTS
FORBIDDEN. EXODUS 32:15.
I WAS SHOCKED! IN THOSE DAYS IT DID NOT
TAKE TOO MUCH TO DEVASTATE ME. IT WAS
THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO. I DID GET OVER IT!
WHAT MOTHERS EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR
KIDS , BOYS/GIRLS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW.
HIS LITTLE NURSERY SCHOOL FRIEND, WAS
JOHNNY. I THOUGHT, I HAVE TO TEACH HIM
RESPECT.
THIS I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT. I WAS
NEVER A MOTHER BEFORE AND HE WAS MY
TEST BABY. HE WAS TREATED THE BOOK
WAY. I WOULD READ UP IN MY BABY BOOK
FOR DIRECTION. PLUS GOD GAVE ME SOME
WISDOM.
SO I SAID, YOU KNOW THAT IS
NEVER TO BE SAID TO MOMMY, SON! HE SAID
WHY? BECAUSE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT
TYPE OF THINGS YOU SAY TO YOUR MOTHER ,
THAN WHAT YOU SAY TO LITTLE JOHNNY.
I SAID IT TO HIM. YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL
AND TELL HIM HE IS NEVER TO SAY THAT TO
YOU AGAIN.
WHEN HE ASKS YOU WHY?
EXPLAIN TO HIM IT IS NOT NICE. SO SAID SO
DONE! HE FOLLOWED THROUGH. RESPECT
BREATHES RESPECT! THAT GOES BACK TO
THE WORD, BEING TAUGHT.
MY SON NEVER SAID
BUZZ OFF TO ME AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS
WHERE RESPECT BEGINS.
IT STARTS AT HOME. IN CERTAIN CULTURES
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO RESPECT PEOPLE.
IN SOME CULTURES RESPECT IS TAUGHT AT
HOME. WE MUST GO BACK TO RESPECTING
EACH OTHER. AS MY THREE GIRLS WERE
BORN THEY WERE TAUGHT TO RESPECT
THEIR BROTHER, AS THE ONE IN CHARGE OF
THEM.IN THE ABSENCE OF THEIR PARENTS.
IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THEIR
SUBMISSION TO MEN AND AUTHORITY.
TODAY, THESE ARE GOOD LESSONS.
RESPECT FOR THOSE OLDER EVEN THE
OLDER CHILD.JOB 32:4-6.1TIMOTHY 5:1-2.1
PETER 5:5.
HONOR LIKE RESPECT, IN THE KINGDOM OF
GOD IS VERY IMPORTANT. THESE WORDS
MUST BE IMPORTANT TO GOD AND HAS
PLAYED AN IMPORTANT TO HIS PEOPLE IN
ORDER FOR THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
I BELIEVE WE ARE TO
ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER, AND WE MUST
RESPECT EACH OTHER. MUTUAL RESPECT.
PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK THAT I AM VERY
WEALTHY, AND IT IS
BECAUSE OF MY SHOW OF RESPECT, AND MY
REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE, AT THEIR POINT
OF NEED; BECAUSE NO ONE IS PERFECT.
THEY ARE ALL IMPORTANT TO GOD, THE
SAVED AND THE UNSAVED. THIS IS WHY WE
MUST RESPECT AND HONOR THEM.EACH
CHRISTIAN THAT IS SPIRIT FILLED IS
CARRYING GOD IN HIM. THIS IS WHY GOD
WILL BE EXPECTING EACH OF US TO SUBMIT
ONE TO ANOTHER.
WE MUST STOP ACTING LIKE WE ARE SO
MUCH BETTER THAN THE UNSAVED, WHO
IS A POTENTIAL BELIEVER. IT IS US TO SHOW
THE LOVE OF GOD AND GIVE A HOPE FOR
OUR CALL IN CHRIST. OUR OBLIGATION IS TO
TEACH THE TRUTH TO THOSE WHO DON'T
HAVE THE TRUTH. GOD HAS PROMISED IF WE
OPEN OUR MOUTH HE WILL FILL IT.
HOW AND WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO TELL
PEOPLE HOW TO TREAT OUR THINGS, IT
IS A LACK OF RESPECT. A LACK OF RESPECT
FOR PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. PROPERTY IS
WHAT GOD HAS BLESSED EACH AND
EVERYONE OF US WITH.
A TRUE CHILD OF GOD WOULD BE
MINDFUL OF THESE THINGS GOD HAS
BLESSED US ALL WITH AND SHOW RESPECT
OF THE CARE OF THE GOD WHO HAS MADE
AN EFFORT TO BLESS US. DO NOT TAKE
PEOPLE FOR GRANTED AS WELL AS THEIR
SUBSTANCE TOO.
WHY SHOULD SOMEONE FEEL THAT THEY
SHOULD TREAT ME ANY DIFFERENT,
BECAUSE I DON'T CHOOSE TO HAVE A
CHURCH BUILDING. THAT IS WHAT JESUS
TOLD THE WOMAN AT THE WELL.
WE ARE ALL STILL
ORDAINED AND ARE PASTORS OF GOD.
GOD ADMONISHES US TO BE ALL THINGS TO
ALL MEN. IT IS PART OF WHAT IS REQUIRED
OF US.DO WE ALWAYS DO THIS , SOMETIMES
I AM SURE WE FORGET AT TIMES.
RESPECT IS EARNED BY HOW WE APPEAR TO
OTHERS, AND HOW WE ARE PERCEIVED.
BUT RESPECT IS EARNED BY JOB 29:7-10.
SOME HAVE NO ABILITY TO PERCEIVE,
BECAUSE GOD WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO
KNOW WHO WE ARE, BECAUSE THEY WILL
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS CHILDREN.USE
THEIR GIFTS AND NEVER RESPECTING THEIR
OFFICES IN THE CHURCH. THE PARADIGM
SHIFT IS HERE. NO LONGER WILL HE ALLOW
THIS TO HAPPEN.
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RESPECT NATIONS.
WHY NATIONS ? YOU HEAR THE IDIOM,
"WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS DO!"
THAT IS BASIC RESPECT FOR NATIONS
CULTURAL RESPECT IS SHOWN WHEN THE
WOMAN IN THE STORY OF THE WOMAN AT
THE WELL,SHE SAID A JEW ASKING A
SAMARITAN FOR A DRINK OF WATER, THIS IS
UNHEARD OF. THIS WAS UNCULTURALLY
UNUSUAL. BUT SHE RESPECTED THE FACT
THAT THERE IS A CULTURALLY DIFFERENT.
NATIONS MAY BE AT LOGERHEADS BUT THE
AGREE TO DISAGREE, THEY STILL HAVE
CONVERSATION. DIPLOMACY!
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RESPECT PEOPLE
THEIR PRIVACY, AND THEIR RIGHT TO LIVE
AND BE WHO GOD HAS CALLED THEM TO BE.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE COME IN CONTACT
WITH ME DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO
TRY TO CONTROL MY LIFE OR TO HAVE RULE
OVER ME. THAT IS WHERE THE LINES OF
RESPECT MUST BE DRAWN. RIGHT TO
PRIVACY HAS BEEN VIOLATED IN THIS
WORLD. SO MUCH NEEDING TO KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYONE HAS
CAUSED A TOTAL BREECH IN A PERSON'S
PERSONAL RESPECT.
IN EVERY COUNTRY IT IS A WAY OF LIFE; BUT
THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
HOW DO WE MEET A HAPPY BALANCE. I
HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THE
VIOLATION, BECAUSE GOD HAS REVEALED
TO ME THAT ANYTHING I WANT TO KNOW HE
HAS THE INFORMATION. ONCE WE AS
HUMANS KNOW THIS THERE IS NO NEED TO
BE SEEKING SO MUCH INFO ON OTHERS.
SPYING INTO A PERSON'S HOME. AND
TELLING OTHERS HOW THEY MUST LIVE
CAN BE AN INVASION OF ONES PRIVACY.
WHY IS THERE SUCH A NEED TO FIND OUT SO
MUCH ABOUT PEOPLE ; IT IS OBVIOUSLY A
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHO GOD IS.
GOD IS GREATER THAN A COMPUTER.
GOD GAVE LADY THE KNOWLEDGE AND
WISDOM TO CREATE THE COMPUTER.
HE IS FULL OF WITTY INVENTIONS. YOUR
NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR COULD BE THE
NEXT INVENTOR OF A GREAT TOOL. RESPECT
YOUR NEIGHBOR.
YOUR HUSBAND OR MATE MAY BE THE NEXT
PRESIDENT SO RESPECT THEM TOO . YOU
MAY BE TALKING TO THE LOWEST PERSON
ON THE CHURCH ROSTER , JUST SHOW THEM
RESPECT.
TO THOSE OF THE SECULAR WORLD , THE
UNBELIEVER, GOD MEANT FOR YOU TO BE
SAVED , RESPECT THE CHRISTIAN.YOU MAY
BE WITH THEM IN CHURCH TOMORROW.
AT THE HAIR DRESSER LAST WEEK, I PRAYED
WITH A YOUNG MAN WHO WAS BEING
CRITICIZED. I TOOK A STAND AND ALL I SAID
WAS SHE NEEDS JESUS AND SHE NEEDS
PRAYER. SHE WAS PRAYED FOR AND SHE
AGREED THAT SHE FELT BETTER.
PROVERBS 31:31.
RESPECT FOR MOTHER, "GIVE HER A
REWARD OF HER LABORS, AND LET HER
WORKS PRAISE HER AT THE CITY GATES.
THIS IS GOOD! I HEARD OF A DAUGHTER WHO
BIT A MOTHER IN HER FACE TODAY, AND SHE
KNOCKED HER MOTHER DOWN. THIS IS
DEMONIC BEHAVIOR! OUTRAGEOUS!
EARNED RESPECT.JOB 29:21.
UNDER THE PREMISE THAT WE ARE ALL THE
CHURCH,WE MUST LEARN TO RESPECT THE
CHURCH. EACH INDIVIDUAL WHOSE BODY IS
THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST MUST
REALIZE THAT WE ARE THE CHURCH.SO
RESPECT MUST BE GIVEN.THE SAME WAY WE
TREAT GOD IS THE SAME WAY WE TREAT
GOD.THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN US AND WE
KNOW THAT WE TREAT THE PEOPLE WE
MEET IN THE WAY GOD SHOULD BE
TREATED. THERE IS ONLY ONE POWER IN
THE WORLD. THAT IS GOD'S POWER. THE
DEVIL USES GOD'S POWER BUT IT IS MIXED
WITH REBELLIOUS BEHAVIOR, AND AN
UNREPENTANT HEART. "REPENT BECAUSE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!"
JESUS WAS ACCUSED OF DISRESPECT.
JOHN 18:19-24. CHRISTIANS MAY ALSO BE
ACCUSED OF DISRESPECT. IT MAY NOT BE
TRUE BUT WE MUST SAY THE WE ARE SORRY,
BECAUSE WE KNOW ONLY IN PART. PRAISE
GOD!
JOB'S CHILDREN SHOWED NO RESPECT.
JOB 19:18.
RESPECT FOR POSITION. WHATEVER WE SOW
WE SHALL REAP .I SAMUEL 24:1-7.26:7-
11. STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELVES APPROVED
UNTO GOD.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS AGED PEOPLE.
PROVERB 23:22."LISTEN TO YOUR
FATHER WHO BEGOT YOU, AND DESPISE
NOT YOUR MOTHER WHEN SHE IS OLD."
GODLY COUNSEL. I KNEW A LONG TIME
AGO THAT GOD SAID TO DO THIS. THIS IS
HOW YOU PROSPER IN YOUR LIFE.
STAND WHEN OLDER PERSONS COME INTO
YOUR SPHERE. LEVITICUS 19:22.
CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS . 1 PETER
2:17. JUST GENERALLY THINK NOT ONLY
ABOUT YOURSELF, BUT HAVE
CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS.
TAKE THE SCRIPTURES TO HEART. REV.1:3.
GOD WE ASK YOU TO BRING US TO THE
POINT WHERE WE LEARN TO
RESPECT THE ANOINTING, IN OTHERS.
HELP US AS A NATION TO RESPECT OTHERS
NO MATTER HOW SMALL THAT NATION
MAY BE.
SUCCESS IS GAINED THROUGH THE
BLESSING OF GOD, AND HIS RESPECT IS
SEEN IN US FOR OTHERS.
1 SAMUEL22:44-45,31,29-30.
"GOD'S WAY IS UNERRING;THE PROMISE
OF THE LORD IS FIRE TRIED;
HE IS A SHIELD
OF ALL THOSE WHO TAKE REFUGE IN
HIM." "YOU ARE A LAMP OH GOD, AND
YOU BRIGHTEN THE DARKNESS ABOUT
ME."
"FOR WITH YOUR AID I RUN AGAISNT AN
ARMED BAND,AND BY THE HELP OF GOD I
LEAP OVER A WALL"
