All glory to God. That gives me an opportunity to connect with other ministries
1:10
and to broadcast other ministries that are nationwide. Amen, ministries that I'm able
1:15
to connect with God is good. So let's go for it. It's a
1:19
day I want you to consider with me our own sins. I know that's
1:26
gonna be sounds like man for more than devo. We're gonna get into that.
1:30
Well, just consider your own sins? How has God been patient towards
1:34
you? You ever thought about that? God is very patient, very patient
1:38
towards us. Amen. I hope you understand that. I hope you know
1:40
that. I know you agree. Because God is faithful, He's good.
1:47
There's no other explanation of God being good, but he's patient with us.
1:53
So how has God been patient towards you? And the follow up question is
1:59
are you paid as God is patient with you? And that's a hard like
2:05
to follow, Right, God is patient? We as patient as God is
2:10
with us. So we consider our own stuff. Amen, when we speak
2:15
to other people, talk to other people, and when we realize that,
2:19
man, we fall short of that. I think that's what the Bible says.
2:23
We all fall short of the glorious standards of God when we consider our
2:27
own sin, and then we start humbling ourselves and realize, wait, after
2:31
that patience with so and so you know, God is patient with me.
2:36
I have to forgive so and so God forgave me right. So we're gonna
2:40
be in scripture today on First Timothy chapter number one, First Timothy one,
2:46
fifteen and sixteen. First Timothy Chapter one, Verses fifteen and sixteen. I'm
2:51
calling this one today. Consider your sins, consider them. Amen, Next
2:55
time you're in front of somebody that's somebody that's not really easy to be around,
3:05
we have to be patient. And man, I'm not saying let people
3:07
take advantage of you. I'm not saying none of that. I am saying
3:10
what the scripture is gonna say. We're gonna repeat what the scripture says today.
3:15
Right, consider our sins and think about it. Will you consider yourself
3:22
quick to be angry or quick to or slow to anger? Are you quick
3:27
to get angry, quick to get upset? If you're a driver like me,
3:29
I'm a professional driver. I drive all the time. I've learned through
3:34
the years to consider other people's driving when I get cut off, when somebody
3:38
flips me the middle finger for no apparent reason, or somebody wants to as
3:44
impatient. As soon as the light turns green, they start honking. A
3:47
horn, like literally micro second after it's green. I have to consider everybody's
3:53
not having a good day, right, everybody's not filled with holy spirit God,
3:57
everybody, everybody situated. It is different and man and God knows that
4:01
with us. So we consider our own sin today in the morning, Devo.
4:05
So let's pray first. After we pray, we shut us out for
4:09
like sixty seconds. Excuse me, I know I've seen sixty seconds. And
4:15
if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
4:17
don't hesitate to leave it on the live chat. That's what we're here for,
4:20
a man to communicate with one another. So you're ready, let's go
4:25
for it. Father, I thank you that today is the day that you
4:29
are patient with us, that you are loving to us, that you are
4:30
mindful of us. Thank you, Lord God for being with us, in
4:34
us and working through us. Thank you, Lord God for forgiving us for
4:38
all our trespasses and sins, and therefore we should be forgiving others as you
4:44
forgive us. Love God, Thank you Lord Jesus so much for doing that
4:47
for us. And thank you, Lord Jesus for the opportunity that you give
4:51
us, Lord God, to be able to connect with your word. Thank
4:57
you, lok God for the power of prayer. Thank you, Love God,
5:00
that you are the most incredible patient, amazing Lord and Savior. Amen,
5:06
and we are so grateful. I'm so grateful that you look God,
5:10
look upon me, and you don't judge me according to my failure, but
5:15
you judge me according to the spirit of God that's in me because I'm born
5:20
again. And for all those who are born again, you have the same
5:24
judgment that I have. That God considers us to be one of His when
5:29
we are born again, when we are found in the land of the living,
5:32
not in the land of the laws. Thank you so much for Lord
5:34
for teaching us and showing us through your word by way of your Holy Spirit,
5:40
that where we consider others sins, we should consider our own sins.
5:44
When we considers others truspasses, we should consider our trustpass when we trustpassed against
5:49
You and Lord God, I know it's sobering. Thank you look out for
5:53
keeping us sober and alert, and thank you for protecting and guiding us.
5:56
I pray I head you protection over me, myself, my family, my
6:00
household, my mind, physically, emotionally and spiritually, my wife's mind,
6:02
our children, my family members, for the very youngest to the very oldest.
6:06
And I pray the same prayer over every single person on the other side
6:10
of the screen and on the other side of this mic as well, that
6:13
you, Lord God, will continue to God God and protect them as well
6:16
as we consider our own sins and we are patient with one another, loving
6:20
towards one another, kind towards one another, because you are all of that
6:24
towards us. So I pray by faith that we would get this message deep
6:28
within our soul and that we will activate this today and know that Lord God,
6:31
we can work things out towards one another because you have worked things out
6:38
for us and Jesus Name. I prayed this with thanksgiving and by faith in
6:41
Jesus Name. Amen and Amen. So let's go for it and share this
6:45
out. Sixty seconds. When we come back, we'll get right into First
6:47
Timothy chapter number one Versus fifteen and sixteen. I'll be way back. Amen.
8:13
Amen. Let's go for it. Let's see what the Word has for
8:15
us today. Amen. Man. Apologize for those who are on the radio,
8:20
and they were like words that brodcast. I put it on a little
8:22
late. I didn't realize I didn't power that up Amen until right now.
8:28
So thank you for your patience. Amen, So patience to see we're talking
8:31
about patience, and our patience is already being tested this morning, Amen,
8:37
like a lot of things. Especially if you ready, then your patience is
8:41
going to be tested. If you ask God for peace, get ready,
8:43
peace is going to be tested, Amen, because he wants us to see
8:46
the difference between our old way of thinking and our new way of thinking.
8:50
He wants us to see the difference between our old way of living and our
8:54
new way of living. He wants us to see his power working through us.
8:58
So when we ask for something, and we pray to God for something,
9:01
get ready, He's going to test that something to make sure we know
9:05
the difference between what is right and what is wrong, what is true and
9:07
what is false, what is good and what is evil? A man,
9:11
what is light and what is dark. He's going to give us the comparisons,
9:13
and then we'll be able to move forward from there. So God is
9:18
that faithful and good to his word a man that he will literally literally literally
9:22
advance us in the kingdom process as we act and pray and keep connected with
9:28
him, keep connected with God. Amen, don't give up. You might
9:33
be you might be like one inch fourth in inches right away from the touchdown,
9:39
away from the goal. So don't give up. And man, it's
9:43
never too late. And if you need to restart, we start today.
9:46
We start right now. We need to restart your relationship with the Lord.
9:50
Rededicate your relationship with the Lord started right now. Tomorrow's not promised. We
9:52
have right now, and it could be an incredible right now for your life
9:56
and for my life if we continue to move on and move forward. Amen,
10:01
So let's see what we have here. Consider your sins, and the
10:03
image might be a little misleading. Just want to clarify. When I saw
10:09
the apple in the man's hand and the head cut off, I thought about
10:13
considering my own sin. So, of course, in the Garden of Adam
10:18
and Eve, we always say that the forbidden fruit was an apple. We
10:22
don't know that for sure. We just know it was a forbidden fruit.
10:24
But for whatever reason, you could look it up through church history and through
10:28
history that a lot of theologians, a lot of fathers of the faith felt
10:33
that it was an apple for whatever reason. Amen, But we know it
10:37
was definitely a fruit. So I just picked that because it reminded me of
10:43
considering our sins and of course the temptation of eating the forbidden fruit. First
10:50
Timothy, Chapter one, Versus fifteen and sixteen. The Bible says through the
10:52
apostle Paul, writing to Timothy says the saying is trustworthy and deserving a full
11:01
acceptance, that Christ, Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of
11:09
whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason that in
11:16
me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an
11:24
example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. Wow,
11:33
this apostle that's writing this down inspired by Holy Spirit God writing to young Timothy
11:39
at the time, which is a spiritual son and a young pastor, a
11:45
young leader in the church. Apostle Paul saying, Jesus Christ came into the
11:52
world to save sinners. You might think that's like elementary, right, But
11:58
I can't tell you how many people that I've met from other different faiths that
12:03
believe Jesus Christ came to condemn the world, to judge the world. They
12:07
sometimes they say, yeah, he came to save the world, but he
12:09
sinned as well. A lot of people think that Jesus Christ was an ordinary
12:15
man, which is incredible to me, because an ordinary man would not have
12:18
been born from a virgin, An ordinary man would not have been sought out
12:24
at two years old by Magi and presented gifts. An ordinary man or ordinary
12:30
human would not have come by way of angelic announcement. An ordinary man would
12:35
not have done what Jesus did during his life here on earth. But a
12:41
lot of people normalize this idea of Jesus being a sinner just like us,
12:46
just being a man just like us, being a human just like us,
12:48
and not realizing that he is almighty, that he's the eternal lifegiver, that
12:54
he is the savior of the whole world, that he is the Alpha and
12:56
Omega, that he's the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that he's
13:01
the firstborn of those that rose from the grave, the first born. He's
13:05
the one and only living, holy, righteous King of Kings, Lord of
13:09
Lords, Righteous God, righteous Son of God, righteous right son of Man,
13:16
all deity. Right there, Jesus Christ came into the world to save
13:20
sinners of whom I am. Apostle Paul says, he's the most Foremost.
13:26
In other words, he's humbling himself, saying, I'm the most simple person
13:30
out there, and man, when I look in the mirror, I don't
13:33
look at my sin, though. I look at my savior, my salvation.
13:37
And if I'm going to dwell on my sin, I'll just dwell in
13:39
that. I'll sin all the time because I'm going to be thinking about it
13:43
all the time. But if you look at the mirror and you look at
13:46
the sins that were forgiven, if you look at the goodness of God in
13:50
your life, if you look at the salvation that God has offered you,
13:54
if you look at the born against situation that you're in right now, think
13:58
of those things, amen, and you'll stop thinking about the sinful nature and
14:01
the simpful things eventually. Right. But I received mercy for this reason that
14:07
in me, in me, So you look at the mirror, say in
14:09
me, as the Foremost Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience. So when
14:16
your patience is being tested, we hide behind the Lord Jesus and allow him
14:20
to have his patient working through us, display his perfect patients as an example
14:26
to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. In other words,
14:31
we should be different. We should consider our sins and treat people differently,
14:37
treat people with kindness, with grace, with mercy, because guess what,
14:41
the Lord Jesus has given us the kindness of God, the mercy of
14:45
God as well. So I thought that was an eye opener. Amen.
14:48
I know it's a little heavy for morning devo, but it definitely is an
14:52
eye opener for me, right to consider my own sin. So that way,
14:56
before I go and I just as out on somebody or something happens and
15:01
I get angry, I should be slow to anger, right, quick to
15:05
listen. I should be considering my own sin. I should be patient as
15:09
God is patient with me. Right. So these are the things that we
15:13
could do to exercise our faith, to grow our faith, right, to
15:18
grow our understanding and who God is in our lives. So when you consider
15:26
this, you realize that it's not just other people who have had occasion to
15:33
be impatient and frustrated with me. Right. I know I could get people
15:37
frustrated. I know I could get people impatient. Amen. I'm married twenty
15:41
five years, so my wife could tell you that I am not the easiest
15:45
person to live with or the easiest person out here. But I consider now
15:50
a lot of things before I do a lot of things right, considering my
15:54
own sin. Kiss me at day, Amen, Doctor Phyllis Cologne. God
15:58
bless you, and welcome to the morning Devo, hallelujah, Good morning,
16:02
my brother, Good morning to you as well. No one has more just
16:06
cause to be irritated with me than God himself. God could literally be irritated
16:12
with me, and I could give him reason to do that. You could
16:15
give them reason to be irritated. But through his word we see that God
16:22
has given me clear instructions about how to live and how to behave We have
16:27
it. We don't have really a lot of excuses. But I didn't know
16:30
I was supposed to not do that. God gives us clear instructions. I
16:34
think a lot of people don't want to go to the scriptures or turn to
16:37
the Bible because they know there's going to be some change going on in their
16:41
hearts and minds. Once you read it and apply the word to God in
16:45
your lives, you know there's going to be some changes. A lot of
16:48
people don't like change. They want to stay the same old, same old
16:51
way. They don't want to try to limit they want to live limit themselves,
16:56
and they don't want to stretch themselves. They don't want to do with
16:59
the Lord is asking of us to do right. And that's the flesh.
17:03
The flesh is always going to fight against the will of God over our lives,
17:07
always going to fight against the spirit of God. The flesh is a
17:11
monster. Get ready to fight the flesh daily. The flesh doesn't take a
17:15
day off. The devil doesn't take a day off. And guess what,
17:18
our God doesn't take a day off either. And his word is always true,
17:22
is always relevant, It's always powerful, always has authority, always has
17:26
full power. The word of God never loses his power, It never loses
17:30
his value, It never loses his strength, it never loses its relevance.
17:34
So get that thinking thinking out of your mind. If that's the way you
17:37
think, Oh this is this word is not good for us anymore. Now
17:41
this word is good for us daily. Amen. This word is food to
17:45
our soul, food to our fuel to our spirit. Amen. We need
17:49
his word daily. And man, it's not one day. I could go
17:52
without his word and act like I got it all together, because I don't
17:55
have it altogether. But I could introduce you to the one who does have
17:57
it all together. His name is the Lord Jesus. Tell it like it
18:00
is. I'm trying. Amen. So in today's words we see the apostle
18:06
Paul. He wrote about the perfect, perfect patience of God that's going on
18:14
in his life. What about your life? In my life? I know
18:17
God is patient with me. In your life. You should realize that patience
18:21
of God over your life as well. And Man, a lot of people
18:23
won't tolerate behaviors, but God will tolerate it. Not only tolerated, though
18:29
He would change us in our behavior. He offer us eternal life. He
18:33
will offer forgiveness. He would guide us and guard us by way of His
18:37
Holy Spirit, and he tells us what to do when we get into those
18:41
situations where our faith where our patients, where our peace, when our salvation
18:47
is being tested. He would put us in a situation where we could count
18:49
on Him to help us. All we got to do is call out to
18:52
him. Right through his word. God has given us clear instructions, but
18:57
over and over again he has watched us do the exact opposite of his commands,
19:03
and yet He still is available to forgive us. This is an amazing
19:08
concept to me. Amen, we don't have to live in an old way
19:12
yesterday. My pastor preach about the old life and the new life, and
19:17
it's so true. The old life. You have to really repeat things over
19:21
and over again in your mind, because when you're being born again, you're
19:23
renewed. Right, you start considering your sin differently. Amen. You just
19:29
start pondering and pondering and pondering about the past. You start thinking about it,
19:32
talking about it, sleeping on it, waking up on it. I
19:34
like, no, you consider your own sins. Go to the word of
19:38
God. God's word will help you. God's word is holy. God is
19:41
holy, and he will cleanse us from all unrighteousness, all unholiness. There's
19:47
a holy spirit, and there's an unholy spirit that's going on in this world
19:51
right. There's an imitation of God's spirit in this world, and it's a
19:55
bad spirit. It's not a good spirit. The Holy Spirit of God that
19:57
lives within every single breathing, living son and daughter of the Living God.
20:03
Amen, will guide us into all truth. We could grieve the Holy Spirit.
20:07
That's how kind God is to us that we could grieve his spirit.
20:10
We could do something opposite of his commands, opposite of his word, and
20:15
because of his patience, it seems like, and listen to me closely,
20:18
it seems like we're taking advantage, advantage of his grace. But we're not.
20:22
God's riches at Christ's expense can never be taken advantage of. But because
20:27
of his kindness, and we think, oh, I got away with that,
20:30
or God is not gonna see me doing this, or no, be
20:36
careful with that. Man. I don't know if it's true or not,
20:40
but I heard it said that grace runs out one day. Because God loves
20:45
us so much, he doesn't want us to go on walk off a cliff
20:48
right, being a representative of the Kingdom of God, and we continue sinning
20:52
and going the other way, he might intervene and take us out of here
20:56
for the sake of the kingdom, for the sake of his name, for
21:00
the sake of our salvation. Amen. And that's why I'm mindful and I
21:04
consider my sins. What about you? So in today's verse, the apostle
21:08
Paul wrote about the perfect patience that God had exhibited in his life. So
21:12
he has a perfect example that he could share, even call himself the foremost
21:18
of sinners. So why you think Apostle Paul, someone who wrote about half
21:23
of the New Testament, and someone who could be considered to be a great
21:27
hero of the Christian faith. Why would he call himself the worst of sinners?
21:33
I think Paul was humbling himself, or he might be using hyperbole,
21:37
you know the language of the day when he was writing it that says you
21:41
better be careful because you are one of those sinners that I'm talking about.
21:45
He was not quick to forget his past. Remember, if you know anything
21:49
about the apostle Paul, he wasn't always an apostle. He was definitely not
21:53
a believer or follower a disciple of Christ. He was one who would go
21:57
with a warrant or Christians and watched them get murdered. And he just hated
22:03
the Gospel message. He thought it was heresy. He thought it was something
22:07
outside of his Judaean law abiding ruling idea and concept of the Word of God.
22:18
He was a Pharisee, right, Paul using his Hebrew name Saul at
22:23
the time, who approved the stoning of Stephen he was there, and who
22:27
persecuted the early Church and dragged Christians off to prison. You could see that
22:33
in Acts chapter seven verses fifty eight, Acts, Chapter eight, verses one
22:37
to three. If you don't believe me, amen, I'm talking about that
22:41
same Apostle Paul. It wasn't until his miraculous encounter with the Lord Jesus that
22:47
he converted to Christianity and became the bold leader of the early Church that we
22:52
think of today. You could see that in Acts chapter nine. Amen.
22:56
So this history behind why Apostle Paul said what he said, and it wasn't
23:00
just a conversion, it was a transformation. Amen. I know he was
23:04
doing one He was going one way and doing one thing, and then Jesus
23:08
get an accounter with the Lord by way of a vision, by way of
23:11
the spirit of God, knocked them off his high horse literally amen. And
23:18
then God started working on him, blinding him and sent someone to lay hands
23:21
on him so he could regain his sight. And then he was under some
23:25
teaching of I think Pastor James in the scripture. I know he started getting
23:32
disciples and man the Apostle Paul, and then he went on to be used
23:36
mightily by God. You see all through the scriptures where you could see his
23:41
past and his testimony. In the Book of Acts chapter seven, Chapter eight
23:47
and chapter nine. You could check that out for yourself. That's a good
23:49
reading to see about the history and you know the background of the Apostle Paul.
23:56
Paul didn't have a blind spot to his sin. In Romans eighteen to
24:00
twenty Romans Chapter seven, eighteen to twenty five, Paul described his battle between
24:04
his simple flesh and his desire to do what is right. There's a battle
24:10
going on, right, everybody's going through this battle. He man, I'm
24:12
just looking at the time over here. Everybody's going through this battle. For
24:15
I know that nothing good dwells in me. This is Apostle Paul, I
24:18
acording what the Apostle Paul said. For no, nothing good dwells in me,
24:22
that is in my flesh. Think about it, the flesh. They
24:26
really not good about the flesh. For I have the desire to do what
24:30
is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do
24:33
not for I do not do the good I want. But but the evil
24:41
I do not want is what I keep on doing. So there's a struggle
24:45
here. And know, he's not crazy, he's not bipolar. He's just
24:48
being honest, and he's being humble enough to admit his struggle between the flesh
24:52
and the spirit, between the right that he knows to do and the wrong
24:55
that the flesh wants him to do. Right Now, if I do what
25:00
I do not want, is it no longer I, who do it but
25:03
sin? It is no longer I, who do it, but sin that
25:07
dwells within me. You have to study that out, because Holy spavorite dwells
25:11
within a believer, not sin. Or you have to think about what he's
25:15
saying. He's considering his sin. We have to think about what he just
25:19
wrote a man. You might have to do a Greek word study to make
25:25
sure we're getting the thought that he's speaking out, because if you see it,
25:27
if you read it the way we just read it in English, it
25:30
kind of like it's a little confusing. And we know that God is not
25:33
a god of confusion. God is a God of order. Now, if
25:37
I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do
25:40
it, but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be
25:42
a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.
25:48
Right for I delight in the law of God in my inner being,
25:53
but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my
25:57
mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
26:03
Wretched man that I am, Who will deliver me from this body of
26:07
death? It's a good question, right, who will deliver us from this
26:11
body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
26:15
So then I myself serve the law of God with my mind, But with
26:21
my flesh I serve the law of sin. Right nobody, no flesh will
26:26
enter into the Kingdom of heaven. The word says Amen for obvious reasons.
26:32
And we can see that today by the Apostle Paul. So Apostle Paul has
26:36
taught us and that we humble ourselves, consider our own ways, our own
26:40
sins, be patient like God's being patient with us, and we will consider
26:44
things differently going forward. So read the first chapter of Timothy. First Timothy,
26:49
read the whole chapter. We camped out at verses fifteen and sixteen.
26:53
But I suggest you read the whole chapter for yourself. Pray fully, consider
26:56
your sins, and ask the question, how has God been patient towards you?
27:02
Amen? You ever thought about that? This God is patient? So
27:04
I'm out of time. Amen, Thank you so much. For hanging out
27:07
with me for this morning DEVO. Get ready for what's coming next on Celebrator
27:11
Network. Amen, you'll be blessed by that as well. So God bless
27:14
you all. Got to keep you all and remember always that God is good. Please,
