 HONOR GOD WITH YOUR BODY 

 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 NIV * 3/ It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;  4/ that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable,

 PRESENT YOUR BODY

A Living Sacrifice to God

Romans 12:1, 2 NLT

1/ And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.  Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable.  This is truly the way to worship him.  2/ Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

We honor God by being obedient to do the things He instructs us to do in the Bible; then the blessings come with power to enjoy them.

Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV

18/ “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

NOTE

In the above scripture, fathers, refers to Biblical father Abraham & his sons Isaac & Jacob named Israel by God. God is in covenant with the biological blood seed of Abraham to be fruitful/blessed & empowered to get wealth in the earth.  The same covenant rights and priviledges are currently in force and extended to everyone in the body of Christ; Christians/Followers of Jesus, who are the spiritual seed of Biblical father Abraham through Jesus Christ the Lord.

 JOHN 8:58 NKJV

58/ Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” 

I AM

I AM THAT I AM (EXODUS 3:14 KJV) 

Galatians 3:29 NIV * 29/ If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

 Ecclesiates 5:19 NIV

Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.

Throughout the Bible from Genesis through Revelation, we see the will of God for individuals, families, nations and the world.  Our Heavnly Father's will for us is to be fruitful/blessed, healthy, have joy, peace, love, & to prosper.  

Although we all go through seasons of trials, hardships, and trouble, Psalm 34:19 NLT tells us, 19/ The righteous person faces many troubles,
but the LORD comes to the rescue each time.   

Psalm 46:1 NLT * 1/ God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

 Father God still gives to those who obey and honor Him, PROVISION, PROTECTION, & PROMOTION;

here on Earth now, and in the life to come eternally in Heaven.

Mark 10:29-30 NKJV

29/ So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, 30/ who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.

John 14:2, 3 NKJV

2/ In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  3/ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

 Jermiah 1:12 NIV *  

12/ The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”

Isaiah 55:11 NIV 

11/ so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 

An individual, a family, a nation or the world that willfully & blatantly dishonors God, by rejecting or disobeying God's instructions for righteous living, develops a sick, morbid sense of morality of their own; then becomes weak and powerless without God's favor or strength to cover their weaknesses.  They walk out from under the blessings and protection of God, into curses that are in the earth; unless they repent and seek the forgiveness of God that is presently available to all through Jesus Christ the Lord.

2 Chronicles 7:13, 14 KJV

13/ If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 

14/ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The blessings for obedience, and the curses for disobedience are vividly described in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28.

• 64/ For the LORD will scatter you among all the nations from one end of the earth to the other.  There you will worship foreign gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods made of wood and stone! 
• 65/ There among those nations you will find no peace or place to rest.  And the LORD will cause your heart to tremble, your eyesight to fail, and your soul to despair. 66/ Your life will constantly hang in the balance.  You will live night and day in fear, unsure if you will survive. 
• 67/ In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were night!’ And in the evening you will say, ‘If only it were morning!’ For you will be terrified by the awful horrors you see around you. 
• 68/ Then the LORD will send you back to Egypt in ships, to a destination I promised you would never see again. There you will offer to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves, but no one will buy you.”
