Day 22

Like I was saying yersterday, Jesus said we should be wise like serpents, and I was asking you if you have ever seen - 2 serpents walking together- there is a reason, a very wise reason.

My dear people the way of the Lord is the way of wisdom- in my life and experience I have found out that if a person does not guard his atmosphere, if you do not set a guard over your atmosphere eerh... There are people who told you something to do and that started wrecking your life. Some of you opened your mouth without restraint and things that should be kept secret fell into the ear that should not hear...and your troubles began.

Do not give everyone access to your life at the same level. It is a rule you must keep if you want to be great. Not everyone is qualified for access to your life at the same level.  Scripture says you are a temple. “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own ?.”- I Corinthian 6:19

Are you aware that all TEMPLES have the OUTER COURT and INNER COURT and most HOLY OF HOLIES.

The OUTERMOST area of the temple in Jerusalem was called the court of the Gentiles because it could be entered by all people. It was the most exterior and, by far, the largest of all the courts. This location, along with Solomon's Porch (which was a covered area that existed on either side of the court's eastern entrance) was frequented by Jerusalem's sick and the poor seeking help (Acts 3:11, 5:12, 15).

You too are a TEMPLE, some people should remain only in your OUTER COURTS. There are certain people that should only stay within the vicinity of the outer court of your life, they have no business passing into your inner court. You cannot be friends to everyone, everyone can hug you, enter your room, your car, your privacy- what kind of a person are you? Some of you, you meet someone and in 5 minutes you have told the person everything about yourself... Your whole life in 5 minutes to a stranger.  Be wise as serpents ooh... In 2 minutes you give someone unlimited access to your destiny, be wise as serpents ooh...

Scripture says Mary kept these things to herself... When the angel spoke to her she knew at that time the persecution will be unbearable, if she opened her mouth... So she secured her destiny by keeping quiet...  the outer court is for general relationships this involves general public. Access you give everybody people, general love you show all people both believers and unbelievers.

There are some of us STRANGERS, people come into our houses and the next moment you are showing them your bed room, oh come and see- " when my wife wants to dress this is where she stand, this particular cup, hold on I will show you " , have you seen our parents do that.

They say come there is something I must show you, we have a boys quarters , it doesn't stop there the man says ooh, am an import and export person, next time you are losing all of your money. Giving all of your property as collateral. An association you met, led you to all of this and began that cycle of poverty and pain in your family because of your carelessness. .. And lead us not into temptation.

Nice woman you meet somebody and in 5 mins -she knows the names of all your children, she knows the name of everybody around you-she even knows the difficulties between you and your husband. I tell you if you are a lady and you do that, you do not have virtue... You sit down and lambast your husband before a complete stranger? At once in 3 mins, the stranger already knows everything about you. He knows everything about your family, that your first child is stubborn..ok -what did that person tell you about his own life and you see those people are usually quiet, they keep saying really, while you pour everything out- giving people uncommon access

In 1 Samuel 21:2, “ David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place. ”- The king wanted to do something, make a move, but he knew there were wicked people, he was wise enough to know that not everybody is a loyalist, there are people who can kill him if they get the chance, kill his dream if they get the chance. So he found a loyal man -David, he told David a secret and said I have already sent some people to wait for you, go and meet them, between you and them, nobody must hear this. The gift of uncommon access. Be selectively selective….

The second part of your TEMPLE is the INNER COURT- Within the inner court of Jerusalem's house of prayer is the hall of Israel. This is the place where Israelites waited in reverent silence as their sacrifices to God were being burned.

Your inner court comprises of people with much closer bonds- friends, family etc-both your spiritual and physical family. That's a much closer bond... There are certain things no matter how bad family members are it- is only them you can discuss with. There are certain things only your church folks can understand you-

Then the third part is the HOLY OF HOLIES-

TO BE CONTINUED...

Shalom and God bless you
