- 0:00Speaker 1: For unto us was the gospel preached to them, But
- 0:04Speaker 1: the world preached did not profit them, because they fit
- 0:07Speaker 1: did not feed on the world. The world of God
- 0:11Speaker 1: is the life support of our feet.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Relieve by the world of God.
- 0:16Speaker 1: God, Blessed be God Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
- 0:23Speaker 1: Palm thirty seven, reading verse twenty three.
- 0:27Speaker 2: The steps of a good man.
- 0:30Speaker 1: The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and.
- 0:35Speaker 2: He delighted in his way.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Welcome to faith fit Episode one hundred and seventy nine,
- 0:45Speaker 1: Steps of a good Man, The steps of a good man.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Life is full of so much on certainties were here
- 0:56Speaker 1: sayen sure that the good outweigh, For the Bible says
- 1:01Speaker 1: that we should not be overcome of evil, but overcome
- 1:04Speaker 1: evil with good. And so the Scripture tells us in
- 1:07Speaker 1: Psalms that when God orders a man steps, a man's
- 1:12Speaker 1: with direction clarity in an uncertain.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Environment is because there is goodness found in him.
- 1:20Speaker 1: That word goodness is an expression of the reality of
- 1:25Speaker 1: what God has deposited into everyone who believes. Behold how
- 1:29Speaker 1: good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together.
- 1:33Speaker 1: So good is a function of the possibilities that abounds
- 1:39Speaker 1: within the second friend of a man's or a people
- 1:43Speaker 1: or a nation.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So wherever there is good, then there is a seed
- 1:48Speaker 2: of other steps.
- 1:50Speaker 1: So, like I was saying, you must understand that these
- 1:54Speaker 1: steps of a good man is a function of the
- 1:56Speaker 1: clarity that he embraces in the Lord. That's why he
- 2:00Speaker 1: says in the next past that door he falls, That
- 2:04Speaker 1: means it's a good man. Myth can fall on the way.
- 2:07Speaker 1: He doesn't mean that their steps are still. He says, well,
- 2:10Speaker 1: he shall not be utterly cast down, he shall not
- 2:14Speaker 1: be carried away, he shall not give up. Good men
- 2:18Speaker 1: don't good doesn't give up. Yes, it that says for
- 2:22Speaker 1: the Lord, or polded him with his hand.
- 2:26Speaker 2: This is still. He's telling us that the steps of
- 2:28Speaker 2: a good man the order of the Lord.
- 2:30Speaker 1: But in this odd dream there are times that the
- 2:32Speaker 1: man we fall doesn't mean that when he falls he
- 2:35Speaker 1: will be because it is wanting to fall and not
- 2:38Speaker 1: get up. It is wanting to get up. When it
- 2:40Speaker 1: comes to the good man, he falls and he gets up. Yes,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Now there is one clarity that prevails in this arrangement,
- 2:48Speaker 1: And we'll find out improve Sepal three, where the babble
- 2:50Speaker 1: said we should trust in the Lord, we should not
- 2:52Speaker 1: lean on our own understanding, but in all not feel
- 2:57Speaker 1: we should then ensure that we have the understanding of acknowledging.
- 3:02Speaker 1: And acknowledgement is as simple as telling somebody that you
- 3:06Speaker 1: want to go out to exactly, is a form of
- 3:09Speaker 1: accountability God desires. God wants from each and everyone who
- 3:16Speaker 1: claims to be a good man. So one of the
- 3:19Speaker 1: virtues of a good man is that you see accountability,
- 3:23Speaker 1: because accountability leads to transparence. Accountability needs towards transparency. So
- 3:28Speaker 1: God is looking for one, though not perfect, but accountable
- 3:33Speaker 1: as to his actions, as to his words, as to
- 3:38Speaker 1: his dealings. How good it is when brethren, that's the
- 3:44Speaker 1: form of accountability system.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yes, Some one thirty three.
- 3:48Speaker 1: How good behold, how good and how pleasantity is for
- 3:51Speaker 1: bredren to deal together in unity.
- 3:53Speaker 2: It's like a precious point. And that's if for their
- 3:55Speaker 2: the Lord commanded the blessing.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Even why would God command the blessing there when there
- 3:59Speaker 1: is accountability in that system? Exactly, So the Bible tells
- 4:03Speaker 1: us that what acknowledge him, and it will direct your
- 4:07Speaker 1: pa He will direct. So that accountability system we set
- 4:10Speaker 1: around us gives us the ability to be directed. That's
- 4:16Speaker 1: why by the amount of two or three witnesses the
- 4:19Speaker 1: truth is established. In as much as we can tend
- 4:24Speaker 1: to do things in isolation, inasmuch as we tend to
- 4:29Speaker 1: hide from accountability, it does us no good because it
- 4:35Speaker 1: deprives us of what the weakness of God that comes
- 4:40Speaker 1: two men exactly, and that withness of what that comes
- 4:43Speaker 1: to men is a guidiance system. That's what people call
- 4:45Speaker 1: about mentorship and all that. It is a guidiance system.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I see where Sami is. The Sami said in Some
- 4:54Speaker 1: one nineteen verse one thirty three. So is even wanted
- 5:01Speaker 1: three like some wanted to three? He says, other my
- 5:03Speaker 1: steps in thy world. That so the sum is understood
- 5:08Speaker 1: the importance of all that steps. He could embrace the
- 5:13Speaker 1: fact that a good man the steps, the steps of
- 5:17Speaker 1: a good man can be ordered. So he said, order
- 5:21Speaker 1: my steps in that world, and let not any iniquity.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Now this is very profound, this is very powerful, this
- 5:27Speaker 1: is very enlightening. True, he says, let not any iniquity
- 5:31Speaker 1: have dominion. So it is possible that a good man
- 5:35Speaker 1: can come under the influence of iniquity. Lord, other my steps,
- 5:41Speaker 1: he says, what, And let because if you don't under
- 5:44Speaker 1: my steps, there is a possibility that what iniquity.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Would have dominion over me.
- 5:52Speaker 1: So the reason why a good man cannot be overcome
- 5:57Speaker 1: by evil, that is iniquity having dominion over him. And
- 6:00Speaker 1: the Bible tells us in Hebrews that we should not
- 6:02Speaker 1: be overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. A
- 6:06Speaker 1: good man will not come under the influence of evil
- 6:11Speaker 1: when his steps are ordered by the Lord.
- 6:16Speaker 2: This brings us to the importance of the leadings of
- 6:19Speaker 2: God in our lives.
- 6:21Speaker 1: As Romans, he tells us that those are led by
- 6:24Speaker 1: the spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
- 6:26Speaker 2: So the leading is a major, in fact, the most
- 6:29Speaker 2: important factor of.
- 6:30Speaker 1: The believer when it comes to embracing the fruits that
- 6:36Speaker 1: makes you a good tree.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Matthew Chapter twelve, reading from verse thirty two.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Let's see from the steps, he says Jesus speaking, and
- 6:47Speaker 1: whosoever speaks a word against the son of Man, it
- 6:50Speaker 1: shall be forgiven. But whosoever speak it against the holy ghosts,
- 6:55Speaker 1: he shall not be forgiving him.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Now, look at this very profound, because this is the
- 7:04Speaker 1: reason why people tend to speak against allies. He says,
- 7:08Speaker 1: either make the tree good and his foots good, or
- 7:12Speaker 1: else make the three or up, make the three bad,
- 7:15Speaker 1: make the three.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Evil, and his food evil. Buy their foots you shall
- 7:21Speaker 2: know them.
- 7:21Speaker 1: And Jesus continue saying, says, I said, for all your
- 7:24Speaker 1: generation of vipers, how can ye, being.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Evil, speak good things? How is it possible?
- 7:31Speaker 1: And asay for out of the abundance, you see, there's
- 7:33Speaker 1: the food. So if you're looking at the foot of
- 7:36Speaker 1: the spreit, you look at the mouth of a man. First,
- 7:38Speaker 1: the words that proceed out of the mouth Jesus, that
- 7:41Speaker 1: says what invest thirty five?
- 7:43Speaker 2: A good man, a good man, a good man.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Out of the treasure of the heart, bring it for
- 7:51Speaker 1: good things. And an evil man, out of the evil
- 7:54Speaker 1: treasures of his heart, bring it forth evil things. But
- 7:58Speaker 1: I say onto you that every idle world that men
- 8:02Speaker 1: shall speak, they shall give account.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Now you see that thing, now that we're talking about accountability,
- 8:07Speaker 2: that is it. It comes into play.
- 8:08Speaker 1: We see God's designed plan by which it tends to
- 8:12Speaker 1: order the steps of emut.
- 8:13Speaker 2: So it's a shall give a count there off in
- 8:15Speaker 2: the day of judgment.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Now says for by thy words thou shall be just
- 8:20Speaker 1: the fact it is speaking of, and it says.
- 8:22Speaker 2: And by thy word thou shall be condemned.
- 8:28Speaker 1: So in summary, Jesus try to learn versus common you
- 8:32Speaker 1: have to be a good You have to be good
- 8:34Speaker 1: from within.
- 8:35Speaker 2: That means you have to cultivate. For you to produce
- 8:38Speaker 2: good foods, you have to cultivate that. You have to
- 8:42Speaker 2: ensure that the source the tree is connected to.
- 8:47Speaker 1: So so when we are pourged to bring forth more
- 8:50Speaker 1: fruits as scripture shows us, Scripture tells us it means
- 8:55Speaker 1: that is the avenue of God word ordering our steps,
- 8:59Speaker 1: helping us.
- 9:00Speaker 2: He says, even if he falls, he will not be
- 9:02Speaker 2: cast down.
- 9:03Speaker 1: There are many people in life because they do not
- 9:06Speaker 1: have the depths of the knowledge of the truth of
- 9:08Speaker 1: God's work. When they fall, they are cast down. When
- 9:12Speaker 1: thefore they give up. When they fall, they lose it.
- 9:15Speaker 1: When before they lose faith. When they fall, their world
- 9:18Speaker 1: talk against the Holy goos, which is wrong.
- 9:22Speaker 2: He says. The steps of a good man from within.
- 9:25Speaker 1: You must understand God's goodness and how God's goodness reflects
- 9:29Speaker 1: from within the.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Soul of a man.
- 9:33Speaker 1: It is from that point of view that one can
- 9:35Speaker 1: be able to embrace the full nature of God's expressions,
- 9:40Speaker 1: no matter the circumstances or the physical manifestations. That before
- 9:47Speaker 1: the eyes or before a good man, your steps as
- 9:52Speaker 1: a good person are or that of the Lord.
- 9:54Speaker 2: When you are connected to the Lord, ensuring that there.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Is accounted ability or an accountable system by which the
- 10:03Speaker 1: Lord can easy bear witness by which the Lord can
- 10:07Speaker 1: lead you. It's as simple as that romance chapter ates
- 10:12Speaker 1: stream Beard witness to us.
- 10:14Speaker 2: That we are the sons of God. That witness that your.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Son is also the weakness by which your steps are others. Okay,
