worshipful , which is akin to love
with all your heart , might and
soul , is the begin of wisdom and
foundation of faithfulness ,
where it is in the heart, it will
lead to serving of the LORD in
holy obedience, make no
mention of the name of other
gods, or forsake the name of
GOD, he must be worshiped in
genuine religious principle, with
sincere, true reverence and
obedience by keeping the
commandment and diligently
keeping his word, which is good
and right in the sight of, GOD is a
jealous GOD.
AND SHALT SWEAR BY HIS
NAME
When you make a covenant with
any, or were called to bear a
testimony for the decision of any
controversy or you take an oath,
should not be taken in the name
of any idol, or any other creature
but will be taken in the name of
the only true GOD,not by idols,
or any creatures, but by his
name, when thou has a call and
just cause to swear

I have sworn by myself, the
word is gone out of my mouth in
righteousness, and shall not
return, that unto me every knee

shall bow, every tongue shall
swear

served that were on the other side

Amorites, in whose land ye dwell;
but as for me and my house, we
will serve the LORD
|
and not a pleasure and delight to
their own liberty, whether they
would serve GOD or Idols, the
powerful suggestion if the
worship GOD is highly
reasonable, so necessary and
beneficial or the service of idols
is absurd, and vain, and
pernicious, that if it were left
free to all men to make their
choice, every man in his right
reasons to choose the service of
the Living GOD before idols
The true worship of the living
GOD must have its root in the
heart, and spring from the heart,
and therefore must be willing
and cannot be forced by
prohibition and command, the
service of GOD must be in
sincerity and truth can only
result from a free and willing
allegiance of the heart
Now therefore fear the LORD,
and serve him in sincerity and in
truth, Joshua calls on them to
declare, in a public and solemn
manner, whether they will be
faithful and obedient to GOD, he
acknowledged this to be his own
unchangeable resolution, and
urged them, if they were sincere
in making a similar confession, to
put away the strange gods that
were among them
A requirement which seems to
imply that some were suspected
of strong desire for, or concealed
practice of the idolatry
AND FOR ME AND MY HOUSE
WE WILL SERVE THE LORD
This is my resolution
commitment and firm purpose
that I will, and my children and
|
|
servant as far as I can influence
them , will be faithful and will
serve the LORD GOD almighty
than the senseless and impotent
idols before the true living GOD

24)No man can serve two

will hold to the one, and despise
the other, ye cannot serve GOD
and mammon
|
NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO
MASTERS
One cannot serve to masters
GOD and Mammon, his
obedience and affection would
be divided Whose interest and
commands are directly contrary
to each other, while he employs
himself in their service of the
other one, he will neglect the
interest of the other, that is to
entirely to love and service of the
one, and quite abandon the
other or else he will hold to
other, to the interests of one he
will adhere, the interest of the
other he will reject, the supreme
affection will be fixed on only
one
MAMMON- is Syriac signifies
money, wealth, riches substance,
and anything that comes under
worldly goods , a name given to
an idol worship as the god OF
RICHES, which is used to denote
wealth, which is clear that you
cannot serve the true GOD, and
at the same time be supremely
engaged in obtaining the riches
of this world,
To serve Mammon valuable
possession, is to place high value
on it that we place our trust and
faith on it, look for as ultimate
security and happiness, expect it
to guarantee our future by
dominating our mind and life,
and desire it than we desire
GOD”S kingdom and his
righteousness

JOHN 5:23
|
23)That all men should honor the
SON,even as they honor the
FATHER, he that honoreth not the
SON honoreth not the FATHER
which hath sent him
|
THAT ALL MEN SHOULD HONOR
THE SON EVEN AS THEY HONOR
THE FATHER
To honor is to esteem,
reverence, paise, to do homage
to, him, we honor him when we
ascribe to our hearts , words
actions and obedience which is
due him, we honor GOD when
we obey him and worship him
aright as JESUS in JOHN 1:1
declared to be GOD, he said, all
power and authority is given to
me on earth and in heaven,
which is equal with GOD, so
honoring him we regard him as
such
EVEN AS THEY HONOR THE
FATHER
The same manner and extent
the FATHER is honored even so
should the SON equally be
honored, which is religious
homage, or rendering of that
honor which is due to GOD; so
honor the son must also include,
religious worship and service
HE THAT HONORETH NOT THE
SON
He that does not believe on the
SON, and render to him the
religious worship and reverence,
which is his due as to the equal
to GOD, has not honor him, the
FATHER’S will is that the SON
should be honored, he that
refuses to it disobeyed the
FATHER, they are equal, he that
denies the one denies also the
other, the same feelings that
|
|
leads us the FATHER will also
lead us to honor the SON.
Those who withhold proper
reverence from JESUS CHRIST
who do not honor him even as
they honor the FATHER cannot
be believers, and those who do
not render proper homage to
JESUS CHRIST do not worship the
true GOD, the evidence of the
SON is the same as that of the
FATHER, he has the same
wisdom, goodness,
omnipresence, truth, power and
authority , since he gives not his
glory to another ISAIAH 42:8,
this extreme prerogative is given
to the son, committed judgment
to the son; that supremely
divine rights of giving life, all are
conferred on him they are so the
same in nature and perfections,
in power, will affections and
operations; and their interests
and honor are so involved
together, what ever dishonor
that is done to one, reflects on
the other.

HE THAT IS OF GOD HEARS
GOD’S WORDS
Those who are not of blood, by
carnal nature descent from any
person, or of carnal will, but of
GOD, according to his abundant
mercy, of his own will, by the
power, so that have GOD to be
his FATHER , essentially of divine
origin and spiritual nature; are
absolutely difference, the
regenerated man, the true child
of GOD, who has power to
believe.
Who has come to the FATHER,
love, fear and honor GOD who
is born of GOD, not of blood, in
accordance with the will of GOD,
he has ears to hears and the
heart to understand the words of
GOD with pleasure, receive them
in love of them, and cordially
embrace them by faith, by listens
to it , attend it, publishing it,
putting them into practice, and
his grace for the matter of them,
displayed in election ,
redemption, justification,
pardon, adoption, who believing
and yielding obedience to GOD
and his revealed words and
eternal salvation
BECAUSE YE ARE NOT OF GOD
Because you are not born of
GOD, not chosen of him nor
savingly enlightened and
regenerated by him , not
believing and yielding obedience
to him, which is not of the
FATHER therefore they had not
eyes to see, nor ears to hear,
hearts to understand, due to
their present ignorance of
spiritual perception , their refusal
to accept the truth, show that
they are no born of GOD; they
are not being drawn to him by
the working of the FATHER’S
grace

19)But Peter and John answered
and said unto them, whether is be

hearken unto you more than unto
GOD Judge ye
|
WHETHER IS BE RIGHT IN SIGHT
OF GOD OR TO YOU
Believer who are children of
the highest and commission to
do his will, are to obey GOD
who has given the divine
|
|
authority to act according to his
will,
For we must respect the civil
rulers, as far as is lawfully
ROMANS 13:1-9 that believers is
to subject to Government for the
purpose of human government,
who are to uphold good or evil in
society and punish the evil, as
long as the government does not
demand citizens to violate GOD’S
Words and Commandments,
they are minister of GOD .
Yet since GOD hath charges us
with the publication of his
important message on which the
eternal salvation of men depends
we shall hold on to eternal life in
the obedience of word and law
of GOD
