WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: What is inside your cup?

A cup can be fancy and clean on the outside but inside can be carrying a deadly disease or poison. These are like the people that are poison to the body of Christ. They look the part of a Christian, they may even dress a certain way to impress those around them. They wear a uniform of their belief of what holiness looks like, but inside they are full of gossip, hatred, bitterness and anger. Some commit sin and hide it under a good reputation.

God will only allow this type of behavior for so long. When he gets to the point that he has tried to get them to change and they refuse, he will turn them over to a reprobate mind. If they continue to attend church and play the part of the “good Christian” but are full of evil, God will expose them.

Psalm 34:14-16 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

Look how long he waited for Eli’s sons to change. They were committing sins within the temple. He warned Eli to stop them, but he allowed it to continue. God killed Eli’s sons and when Eli heard the news that they were dead he fell backward and broke his neck.

Jesus warned the Pharisees that they were evil inside, but on the outside they dressed to impress and did things to make everyone think they were holy.

Matt 23:25-27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

Jesus told them they were like tombs with whitewashed on the outside, but inside they were full of dead men’s bones. They were filled with all manner of uncleanness. This is why it is so important for us to be vigilant to check out those we listen to for our spiritual well-being. A large portion of those in the ministry are motivational speakers who water down the truth. As Christians, we cannot allow these people to pour poisons of complacency and wishy-washy half-truths into our cups. But we have to ask what we want in a minister. Are we asking for the full truth even if it hurts our toes? Are we telling the ministry that we desire the deep things of God?

If we seek God’s truth and make sure our cup is clean inside. We will find ministry leaders that have clean cups full of power and the anointing of the Holy Ghost. These are the ones you want to align with and allow them to pour into your life. Because what they pour into your life will be anointed of God. It will strengthen your soul and help you walk a strong faith walk.

When God’s light is inside of our cup we will shine on the outside. There will be no poison within us. Others will be able to see with the reflection of God’s light within us.

This is why it is important to do all we can to walk in the light of God.

Deut. 28:1-2 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

If we try our best to walk in the commandments of God and do his will, his blessings will overtake us. In other words, if we do all we can to walk in God’s ways, his blessings will overflow from our cup. We want only good things to flow from the cup of our life. It is time to search and ask the question, “What is in my cup?”

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
