Godzone Fellowship Assembly - Brother Mo

*????A man is in heaven when his compass is God.*

*????A man is in a ruinous place when his compass is the culture.*

*????If you are in the world, you will become WORLDLY.*

*????????‍♂️If you are in God’s Word you will become HOLY.*

*????Are you living in the city of man or the City of God?*

*????Allowing your eyes to take the lead in the odyssey of life will lead to catastrophe!*

*????????‍♂️The point here was not for the Israelites to be influenced by their neighbours, but rather, to influence their neighbours.*

*????MOST people are other people – their thoughts, their actions, their behaviour, their mannerism, their lifestyle, and their spirituality.*

*????We live in a world where folks are busy mastering the art of mimicry.*

*????Oh, how awful it must be when affluence INFLUENCES.*
*Oblivious that worldly influence leads to EFFLUENCE.*
*It is that effluence that brings about spiritual IMPOTENCE.*
*That which sets a dangerous PRECEDENCE.*
*Net result is spiritual NEGLIGENCE.*
*It’s no coincidence that you are of NO CONSEQUENCE.*
*ONLY vertical influence will make a DIFFERENCE.*
*Bringing you fulfilling EXPERIENCE.*
*Net result is supreme CONFIDENCE.*

*????????‍♂️O brethren, don’t be influenced by the world; lest you be corrupted.*

*❌Beware of the “monkey see monkey do” syndrome!*

*????Is your life patterned on worldly culture or God's Covenant?*

*????????‍♂️Every parent is under divine obligation to teach and instruct their children in the things of God. It is a dereliction of divine duty for a parent not to KNOW the God whom he/she claims to serve. How can you teach what you don’t know? What we teach our children will determine the character of our nation.*

*????????‍♂️God’s people MUST love the Lord God with their whole being: heart, soul, and strength. In order for this to happen three dangers must be avoided: PAGANISM, MATERIALISM, and EGOTISM.*

*????“For What shall it profit a man; if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul” (Mark 8:36).*

*????????‍♂️O brethren, let me warn you that when you dine with the Babylonians you will soon become one of them.*

*????Well, is your life patterned on worldly culture or God’s Covenant? In other words, who and what influences your decisions? Are you influenced by the worldly culture or by God? Who is your authoritative point of reference? Whom do you serve?*

*????The worldly wisdom of our culture appeals to our senses and the emotions. In contrast, the wisdom that is from God reflects Him. Whilst the culture tells us to always follow our hearts, God tells us in Jeremiah 17:9 that the heart is deceitful above all things. Whilst the worldly culture tells us that seeing is believing, godly wisdom tells us in John 20:29 that blessed are those who have NOT seen and yet have believed. Whilst the worldly culture tells us to love our family and friends, godly wisdom tells us in Matthew 5:43-47 to also love our enemies. Worldly culture says we are to hate those who hate us; God tells us that we are to do good to those who hate us.*

*????????‍♂️Whilst the worldly culture tells us to curse those who curse us; God tells us to still do good to those who hate us. Whilst the worldly culture tells us to follow the broad way; God tells us that life is found through the narrow gate. Whilst worldly culture tells us to judge on appearance and that size matters; God tells us NOT to judge on appearance and that size is irrelevant. Whilst worldly culture says that there are many ways to God, God tells us in Acts 4:12 there is only one way to Him, Jesus Christ. God’s way is antithetical to the world’s way.*

*????O how sad it is that the sheep will NOT always understand their Shepherds leading, because of the influence of the culture. MOST believers today suffer from the Lot syndrome; their tent is pitched towards Sodom and they are blindly heading into Sodom to settle. Take care O brethren!*

*????????‍♂️“Train up a child in ‘the way’ he should go; even when he is old he will NOT depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). You CANNOT lead your child to “the way” if you don’t know “the way!” You CANNOT teach what you don’t know. Who should train the child in “the way?” NOT the school administrator, NOT the authorities, NOT the grandparents, NOT your friends, NOT the specialists, NOT your pastor, NOT the Sunday school teacher, NOT the social worker, NOT your flim flam celebrity role models; NOT google or the internet, NOT the television or the iPad; but YOU and you alone.*

*????Ultimately, you are answerable before God, NO one else, so you better take your responsibility for your child extremely seriously. God has given every parent a MOST serious Divine responsibility and MOST of us don’t even know this.*
