(ThyBlackMan.com) God is the God of our supply and we should worship only Him. When we turn to Isaiah 6:1, the Word of God says, “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.” His train filled the whole temple. Traditionally, they took the king and queen’s train and put them in front of them. If you can understand, all of heaven was filled with the glory of God.

Go to Matthew 23:23. Jesus says, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.” We are under the dispensation of grace and truth. But that does not mean we throw out the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant is truth. God gave us the grace and fulfilled the truth we could not fulfill for ourselves. So, He gave us the truth we need. We cannot have grace without truth.

God says not to leave the others undone. We have to have balance. You may be paying your tithes, giving your offerings, but you are letting go of the heavier part. God is saying we cannot do one without the other. You are having problems with little things, Jesus says, but you are swallowing the big things, straining at a gnat, but swallowing a camel.

For all of these people who say we do not have to abide by the full counsel of God, they are deceiving us with this doctrine. The Lord Himself said that we have to have balance. Jesus knew that this current time we are in was coming in history when He spoke these words in Matthew. When people tell you that you can live any kind of way and do anything you want, they are lying to you. Jesus said that if I love Him, I will keep His commandments. It is not because I am obligated, but out of love. When you do something for someone you care about, it is coming from your heart. Like when your children do good, they want you to be happy with them.

Church - Praising The Lord.

The Bible says when my ways please God, He makes even my enemies to be at peace with me. God identifies Himself by what He has done for people. He says He is the God who brought the Israelites out of Egypt. The same is true for us today. He got you out of one house and put you in another one. You may have started out on Food Stamps, but now you are buying groceries. You may not have even had a GED, but today you have a Master’s Degree. You may have used to have lived in the project, but now you have your own four bedroom, three bathroom, two car garage home. God is the one who did this in your life. This is why we should be serving no other God but Him. He is the God of our supply.

God is the God of our supply. He might use your job, Social Security, or somebody else to get it to you, but God provided it. If you have a good mind; if you are a professional now, it was God who gave you the mind to be the schoolteacher, the carpenter, the doctor, the plumber, the engineer. . .it was God who provided the supply.

We should have no other God before Him. Because of what He has done for us, we should have no other God but Him. Not Hari Krishna, not Buddha, no other god. What have you allowed to get in between you and your relationship with God? Some people allow their husband or their wife to get in between that relationship. When it comes to serving God, we should want nothing blocking our view.

Go back to Isaiah 6:1. Isaiah’s problem was Uzziah. The prophet looked at Uzziah more than he looked at God. As the prophet he should have had a relationship with God, and then with his king. But his king was blocking his view of God. This is going to be real strong, but sometimes God has to kill things in your life so you can see Him.

When we read that scripture, it says, in the year King Uzziah died, “I saw also the Lord.” That is when his ministry began to metamorphosize and change. We have to guard our spirits and not allow ourselves to be anyone else’s garbage can. What is obstructing your view: your car, job, the girl? God says we should have no other gods before Him. The Bible said the love of money is the root of all evil. I am supposed to be a God-chaser. When you start chasing God, things will start chasing you.

…. I pray I don’t disappoint.

Let us start with a few scriptures for this part

Luke 16:17 KJV
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

Exodus 34:14
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Luke 3:38
Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Proverbs 11 verse 1
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

Proverbs Chapter 8
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.

36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Job Chapter 38
1Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

This is rather verse heavy and there are a few key things I wanted to point out. The first thing is that God is a jealous God and he made a point to inform you of this. It doesn’t matter how close someone gets to God inside of their life, until he tells you it’s time for change, nothing changes. Nothing. The world may
We have a king who makes this decision and is punished for it. I interpret some of the scriptures differently than most. It appears to me that despite the fact that God cursed the king, his work was still welcomed.

“Go to Matthew 23:23. Jesus says, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.” We are under the dispensation of grace and truth.

This is complicated and it takes a bit to go over. The rules on how things were placed on man happened in seasons. We start off with the first two commandments of being fruitful and multiplying and we go through a process of purification through generations of errors. God already knew how he wanted things and just didn’t tell man. If we look back at when Jesus was speaking about divorce, he explains to them what God had in mind and what Moses laid to the people. Don’t become too confused as this is complicated to understand.
Another part that you speak of gets even more complicated. I like to refer to it as the one over the other. (In this instance, he chose his commandments over a King. He can always make that decision.) It appears as you read this and meditate on the words, there is a hierarchy as far as a person being close to God. At the very bottom, you can make it into heaven. At what I can conceive as the top at this moment is you sitting next to his words. Any person who gets close enough to pass the bare minimum now is subjected to this higher tier. Things become more complicated and much harder.

This hierarchy isn’t about boasting and you begin to understand that as you get higher. I would like to ask an advanced question. If you were to hear the words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
As you enter this place with much, you see some don’t have as much. Do you share what you have or keep for yourself? Now at first glance this may seem as a simple answer but look further and deeper. In the New Testament, the people gave all that they have to be a part of the church. Yet in this new place, to give what was given by you by God when he already gave according to what was done, what does it mean to give now? What scripture do you have that says it is pleasing in his eyes?
God is the why. Thus he is the great I am.
To study this and draw closer to him can be a long and complicated process. You could lose everything and become an enemy of the world. All you have left is faith as sight will cause suicide. It’s a road for the chosen and for good reasons. You can’t look back in the ways of wishing that you could have been living in sin. The journey will get longer and harder until either you break or that want breaks. I did it for the money is no longer a thing. As you start to see things differently and believe that God owns everything, you realise every decision comes down to one question. Do you take a step closer or a step back?
