Preferring Others -Pastor Troy Taylor

attention to the Book of Romans chapter 12 and I'm going to read one verse here to begin with and then uh we're going to scroll down through several verses I'm not going to ask you to look in your Bible they've got a list of the verses on the on the screen in the back but uh and I won't even open my bible to them I've got them wrote down but I'm going to ask SC Skyler to to kind of go down we're going to start at Romans 12 and verse 10 this evening and then we'll just go from there Romans 12:10 says be kindly affectioned one to another with Brotherly Love in honor preferring one another no no no no stay at the uh 10 amen stay there be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love and I think we could say sisterly love too in honor preferring one another now I know I know some of us are kind of shaking our head about that last part but that that's going to be some emphasis on our next few minutes here tonight and there's a couple things that's triggered triggered triggering this in the my spirit one was what uh Pastor Dale mentioned this past Sunday when he was teaching the class and uh I'm just going to go from there would you put your Bible down beside you and give the Lord a hand of praise tonight that he's worthy of Amen Give the Lord a praise like amen amen from your heart amen thank you Lord amen bless you God Amen y'all can be seated tonight in the name of the Lord Pastor Dale said when he was when he was be in in his teaching session and I know this to be true because it's Dale's spirit and it's not just Dale spirit because I picked up on the same thing from Brother Melvin brother Melvin shared the very same princip with me years ago and Dale said he I I don't know the percentage of use but he said he never ever ever ever prays for himself first it's always others first remember him saying that brother Dwight he said it it's always others first and I got to thinking about that how you know that's that's that's pretty serious statement for one it's um it it it's a um very aggressive form uh like of of of prayer in In lifestyle of prayer but I believe he meant what he said and then I remember brother Melvin we were driving together time or two I remember in specifically one time he says I hardly ever pray for myself it's always other people and I'm not I'm not saying that bragging on brother Melvin but that's that's true he hardly ever prays for himself it's always about other people I heard him pray in the prayer room before church tonight I heard him mention my name and my family I heard him mention this church about God would bless this church bless my family and that is truly truly truly the spirit of Christ putting others first that's kind of hard it's kind of hard to get our heads around it because and we're going to read verses that's that's that's going to prove exactly what I'm saying it's hard to get that to in our Spirits because life has become so much about us can I have an amen it it's it's it's really and that that's the spirit of the world that's the way the world does it but that's not the spirit of Christ how brother melvan was praying how Pastor Dale was praying how many of you all pray the same way it's it's not about our needs we we have needs and and we'll we'll get those needs addressed but but but there is a place and there's an order and I feel like there's a principle here that if we can get this principle we can be a lot stronger for the kingdom of God the body of Christ and it's about our interaction with each other our preferring each other our our our our fellowship our not not just comaraderie but our respect and honor for each other as as members of the body of Christ brothers and sisters the family of God we're we are in the same family I I I I know it we we come for different backgrounds and all but but we're all the body of Christ amen members in particular but we are the body of Christ and and as such there's an interaction between the members of the body and and that's an issue for some because it it's hard to do when when all they think about their themselves and in their families and their own needs and or maybe their own church and or or it and it's really hard to focus on the whole if all you see is is is the small little percentage around you and I believe the Lord's wanting us to get a picture of the whole not just of ourselves I believe the Lord is trying to get us to be able to see a bigger picture more than just about our family and and we're going to pray for our families by all means we're going to pray for and just in our church and we're ugly we're going to pray for the church but I believe the Lord is one to open up our eyes to a whole different world uh that's a larger world than what we that we're kind of in that we we can expand our thinking our prayer life our vision our desire our hopes and include other people in that it's not we have a vision but it's not just for this church it's for this city we have a vision but it's not just for my family it's for your family sister and the families of this church and the families of other churches that that I believe that's the place the Lord is and I know many of us are there but but I still think we can do a little bit better with it can I have an amen I know I can I I I certainly can and Dale brought that to my attention he didn't wasn't a scold or rebuke it wasn't and brother Melvin reminded me of it too and others the way way that y'all pray it it speaks to you seeing this it's it's more than just about ourselves and and our for and it is a there's a broader thing at work here so here's some verses to show y'all more about what I'm talking about I'm going to ask the guys to go through these we're going to look at the next verse it's first Corinthians chapter 16 vers 17 and 18 1 Corinthians chapter 16 verse 17 says I am glad of the coming of stephanus and fortunus and Aus for that which was lacking on your part they've supplied in other words he's he's recognizing that his that his needs were supplied by these these brothers they they they didn't just think about themselves they were thinking about Paul and they helped Supply his need even because part of it had not been met by some they were supplying the needs for him that others didn't meet look at the ne I believe it's Verse 18 as well for they have refreshed my spirit and yours Paul speaking of the three brothers that were blessing him he says theyve refreshed my spirit and yours therefore acknowledge ye them that are such and I think this is even a broader broader deal here than just that that particular setting I think Paul could be saying for us to acknowledge those that refresh us can y'all can y'all see that acknowledge those that contribute acknowledge those that that participate and take part and help and our blessings acknowledge those that are such acknowledge those people that that think about more than just your themselves they acknowledge those that that are are are are Kingdom Minded and and and that are focused on more their families than just their own family and so Paul is asking us to acknowledge those people and and those people that refresh us how many's thankful for people that refresh you in the Holy Ghost how me thankful for people that teach you the word that that are blessing are anointed singers that come up and and bless us through song and musicians and I'm thankful for that y'all I'm thankful for every saint in here because every one of y'all have been a blessing to me you have refreshed me you have blessed and helped me and I don't think we need to take for granted or we don't need to or lightly regard those people that are blessings to us thank God that there are blessings in our lives thank God God put them in our lives amen thank the Lord God put those people in our lives and so Paul's saying acknowledge them look at the next verse it's 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 24 1 Corinthians 10:24 says let no man seek his own but every man another's wealth now don't me don't read that wrong don't think he's trying to get you to want somebody else's money he's saying let no man seek his own or his own good or his own value but let every man seek another's good or let every man seek to be a blessing to somebody else let no man see and we're living in a world now that that it's so focused on our own and and and Paul prophesied and said in the last day men would be lovers of their own selves and we're living in those days now people people that don't think about anybody else but their themselves and so Paul's saying let no man seek his own in other words and he's not saying for you not to focus on things you need but he's saying don't just think about yourself can y'all see that I think that's what he's saying don't just think about your own deal think about somebody else too going back to the other verse prefer somebody else and there's a long list of verses y'all that that's pretty much telling us the same same thing here uh Galatians chapter 5:3 Galatians chapter 5:13 for Brethren ye have been called into Liberty only use not Liberty for an occasion to the flesh but by love serve one another but by love serve one another and uh serving is is not a popular word because it implies work it implies sacrifice it implies giving it implies time it speaks of effort and energy ser serving one another by love so this is this is all going towards preferring each other loving each other considering each other uh recognizing value in each other recognizing importance in each other not minimizing them because they may not bring as much to the table as maybe somebody else not not belittling them because their name isn't so and so or their their background isn't so and so I think everybody is important in the church I think everybody's valuable in the church it doesn't matter if you put $100 in the offering plate or or $1 everybody's important in the church for one thing that's how this church was established my grandfather taught us there are no big eyes or little 's in the church everybody is important and I'm going to say it everybody's important in this church from our young people to the little bit of an older people to the real old people everybody's important in this church everybody has value everybody brings something and adds something to this assembly and I thank the Lord for that and I think that's what Paul's getting us to to to recognize that recognize everybody adds to everybody is has something to offer something to give everybody can be of value to the church uh Galatians 5:13 then we'll look at Ephesians chapter 4 verse 32 Ephesians 4:32 be you kind want to another tenderhearted forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you be kind one to another tender-hearted forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you you know our our own forgiveness is held up by God if we don't forgive others it it's h we're held in in in bondage if you will if we don't forgive others the Lord cannot forgive us but amen but thanks be to God we we have we have the capacity to forgive other people and you can do it through the help of the Holy Ghost you can do it through the help of God somebody did you wrong that that's that's part of it people get done wrong somebody says something somebody that that that goes with the territory but you know what God can help us to forgive people we need to understand the importance of of forgiving others our our forgiveness is tied to that I can't live with guilt in my life I can't live with sin in my life I have to get it dealt with I have to get it forgiven the Lord's going to come back y'all he could come back with if we have sin in our lives he can come back whether whether we're right or not so we can't I can't live with with a with a messed up spirit I I have to get that dealt with I have to get it corrected and I have to get that repaired I can't live with junk in my heart and bitterness to somebody and and jealousy and all that all that stuff just holds us back we we there's no Freedom there's no Liberty if if if we have bitterness and ugliness and mean-spiritedness to people and we're mad at somebody across town we're mad at some other we we can't have full latitude we can't have full uh uh freedom of expression or worship and our proper relationship with the Lord if there's stuff in our heart can I have an amen we got to learn to deal with the stuff in the heart and if we can forgive others with God's help we can do that somebody says it's hard I I it can't be hard in the flesh it's very hard but the Lord can help you to forgive other people be kind one to another and tender-hearted forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you our next verse Skyler is uh Ephesians I think 521 Ephesians 5:21 I guess I'm slowing down teaching a little bit tonight so here's what it is Ephesians 5:21 submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God now this is a tough word for this generation submitting because our world does not like submission they don't like to live that way they like people to be submitted to them but they don't like to submit to anybody it's a tough word it's a tough deal but it says submit yourselves one to another in the fear of God in other words I I think this I think that could play out like this brother will I I'm I'm here for you and I'm submitted to you for prayer for support or for fellowship or for 3:00 in the morning encouragement I'm submitted to you for that I'm submitted as as a brother to you to your needs and your situation and where you need help and where you need encouragement or where you need something at we need to be submitted now look y'all I know it's kind of tough but we didn't I didn't write this don't shoot the messenger it's tough I know it's tough but it it it's part of it we we need to be submitted to each other where were we hurt when the somebody else hurts Paul said I Rejoice with those that rejoice and I weep with those that weep if you're having if you got a raise on your job I'm going to celebrate that and I'm gonna praise the Lord with you but if you're going through a tough time I'm going to go through that tough time with you and I'm going to try to help you to be strong and I'm GNA try to help you to get encouragement and to get better that's submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God and I know know it's hard to do but God can help us to do that can I have it amen we can submit to each other what is it you need from me what is it what how I how can I help you how can I be there more for you how can I add to you how can we how how can we be better together how can we accomplish more together and that that submitting to each other well if if you'll pray for me if you'll if you'll give me a phone call every now and then or if if you'll just encourage you know every now and then somebody needs a phone phone call every now and then somebody could use some encouragement and that's kind of why we're in the family of God together in part for each other amen submitting yourselves one to another next verse is Philippians chapter 2 vers 2 through 4 fulfill you my joy Paul says that you be like minded having the same love being of one Accord one mind he's speaking of unity there togetherness uh no no sism no no divisions uh no big eyes no little 's no we're better than you and no no we're we're this and everybody else is lower that's not it's not that that's the opposite it's talking about being of one Accord one mind one Fellowship I think about Psalms uh 133 where the anointing flowed downward it flowed over Aaron's beard and got on his garments the anointing from from Glory come down upon him his head upon his be on upon his garments the anointing flows downward and and he the he's talking about unity and the Lord said that's where he commanded the blessing it was in unity so if we're not if we're not in unity we really really can't expect for the full blessings of God it's a truth but there is a powerful deal that comes along with being unified there's a lot that can happen Genesis 11 that they were unified for an Unholy cause and they were going to be build a tower all the way to heaven and the Lord said nothing can stop them nothing whatever they determined to do they're going to do it and they were it was for an Unholy purpose if they could go to heaven and God says nothing can stop them for an Unholy purpose how much more could we get done if we had holy togetherness and holy unity and a holy let's come together and let's build the kingdom and let's see the things of God flourish coming together if God would say they could do it for evil how much more would the Lord say we can do it for good that was a really good place for an amen having the same mind or the same love being of one Accord of one mind look at two look at verse three um same Philippians two nothing be done through stri for V glor vain Glory but in loyalness of Mind Let each esteem other better than themselves and I look that word esteem up and that means value Let each Let each value other better than themselves and I know this deal is kind of hard to get her head around it but I I think it would I think it would be like something like this brother well I re you're a man of God you're a man of Faith you're a man of the word I value you I esteem you and Paul goes on to say better than ourselves and I know that's kind of that's kind of tough but but this is this is showing the emphasis that we should place on the value that we have for each other esteeming other better than themsel or valuing other better than themselves and so somebody say Lord help me with that c because we could sure use it but Paul this he wasn't just filling filling space in and writing a book this this is this is the Lord's will we we can look at others and we can we can want and recognize they they because they're my brother and my sister I I highly esteem them I highly honor them I highly recognize them they are not some some from some else across the railroad track they're they're valuable they're necessary they're important I highly regard them I highly esteem them I highly honor them it it it that's how we should respect each other high high honor High esteem high regard my brother my sister my my fellow Soldier my laborer together highly respecting each other well I'm trying to get this over I don't know that I am or not but it's it's a deal y'all we we we can do this we can do this we can look at others and we can have honor and respect and value for them and I'm just giving these are some hard verses you don't hear them preach you don't hear them taught but it's very very important if if we're going to grow like the Lord wants us to grow we're going to grow together you we're gonna grow as the body of Christ and we're going to grow together or or we're going to we're going to fall apart we either grow together or we fall apart and this is how we can grow honoring each other respecting each other appreciating each valuing each other all right our next verse I think is Philippians here chapter 2 verse 19 same chapter Philippians 2:19 you guys are doing a great job but I trust in the Lord Jesus to send timotheus shortly unto you that I may also be of good Comfort when I know your state Paul was sending Timothy to the Philippians to encourage them to bless them to help them he Timothy was his uh fellow Soldier fellow servant fellow Minister and uh Paul wanted to know the Affairs in the state and he needed to send somebody who we could trust and valuable that would be an asset to the Philippian people so he says I trust in the Lord to send Timothy shortly unto you that I may know or be good Comfort when I know your state the next verse vers 20 and uh it says for I have no man likeminded who will naturally care for your state in other words Paul says Timothy you you you're the man there's nobody else nobody else that I have available that can do this so Timothy you are the man I have nobody else available that can naturally care talking to the Philippian people I there's nobody else I can s that can naturally care for your state or for your Affairs so Paul Paul Paul's earnest earnest desire was to was to help these Philippian people was to help this church this was a a newly formed Church Paul's great heart's desire was to send help to them and be a blessing to them and encourage them and help them along the way and and so he that was Paul's that was Paul's his his his deal to send them some help and he did through Timothy and again we're talking about encouraging each other being there for each other uh esteeming each other highly preferring each other before ourselves praying for others before we pray for ourselves amen our next verse uh first Thessalonians chapter 5:1 1 Thessalonians 511 Paul says wherefore Comfort yourselves together and edify one another even as also you do Paul says you're doing good about it but he says keep doing it edify one another encourage one another you know how you could do that here here's here's just a real quick lesson you could do that by saying tell somebody you're going to make it you're going to come through this you're going to be stronger as you after you get through this you're going to you're going to be more valuable to the kingdom be more of an asset you're going to be a blessing you're coming through this that's how you can edify each other you can encourage each other bless each other support each other there is there is no word like an encouraging word there's there's no help like God's help and God can use you to get help to somebody body who needs encourage who needs edifying who needs building edify means to build up I want our church services to be about building people up and edifying encouraging not tearing the world tears down the world destroys but let's build each other up come on you can make it you're in the right place God's got to work for you God's got to he's got his hand on you God's got good things for you and let's be encouragers and edifiers and facilitators and blessings to other people somebody say Amen Comfort yourselves together and edify one another uh first Timothy Chapter 2 verses 1 through3 1 Timothy and I'm almost done with these verses y'all 1 Timothy Chapter 2 veres 1 through3 Paul says I exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercessions giving of thanks be made for all men first of all first of all supplications prayers inter intercessions intercessions means interceding for somebody else that means more than just you intercessions are praying for other people and it's not just prayer I mean it this intercessory prayer is is Spirit driven Spirit felt heart driving prayer that causes you to go to caus you go to a place to where you you are inter you're standing in the Gap in prayer for somebody and I'm going to get to that here just a minute the Lord Wills but but first of all supplications prayers be made for all men the next verse Skylar verse two for Kings all the authority with that they may live a quite Peaceable life in all godness and honesty and I think I had verse three wrote down for you to yeah verse three for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior it is good it's a good thing for us to think about others besides ourselves and to pray for them and to put them first it's a good thing somebody say it's a good thing it's a good thing norm and I've got a habit of this and i' I've did it for years when I get get up in the morning and I begin to if if I go to prayer right away I'll I'll ask the Lord to guide my my steps and you know order our steps and all that and and I think I think that's appropriate but but we can't we we can't just think about ourselves in those in those prayers we need to pray for our our children's footsteps too and our brothers and our sisters footsteps and our pastors and our elders and leaders so it's and the Paul's saying it's good and acceptable in the Lord's sight amen one or two more verses y'all uh Hebrews 10:24 it's a great verse Hebrews 10:24 let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to Good Works no I provoke some people just not always to love and good works it's probably what I'm doing tonight I'm a good provoker Paul says do it to love and good works let us consider now look you can't provoke somebody in the right way if you're not first considering them to consider them you got to think about them they you they they have to come to your mind your mind has got to be more than just wrapped up with yourself consider one another consider brother Randy for prayer one morning sister Katherine consider Ashley Melvin consider sister Benson one another for prayer and to provoke them unto good works and you know I I think interpretation of that provoking thing would be um again you you can make it you're going to come through this you you can do what God's called you to do you can be what God called you to be and and there's all kind of stuff trying to say no but we we're to provoke to Good Works we're to provoke to Scott you're doing a great job on the keyboard man you you may think you just you just crashed and burned you may think it was the worst you ever did but somebody could come up provoke you to good works and say Scott you did awesome today you're doing a great job man keep up the good work you guys are doing a great job in the sound booth keep up the good work brother will you're you're singing great up there keep up the good word come on come on Pastor de you're teaching the word of God keep up the good provoke them to Good Works am amen you provoke me I want to provoke you to good works and our last verse here I'll read to you 1 Peter chapter 4: 9 and 10 1 Peter 49 and 10 use Hospitality one to another without grudging in other words do it with a good spirit be hospitable one to another without grudging without without stuff in your heart without we're not just don't going through the motions using being hospitable more kind and friendly just because it says do it you know it it like to be it it like uh just just really just just going through the routine going through the motions but it's not that it it's do it without grudging without stuff in your heart without a messed up Spirit use Hospitality without grudging I was thinking about job and I'll try to wrap it up I think about job and uh one of the greatest examples of the whole Bible concerning this subject for one y'all know the story I'm not going to go through it all but you know the story of his lost children his wife turned against him lost his health Lost His lost his wealth his finances lost his his cattle his she lost everything except it really except his Integrity really really you know you say he didn't lose his wife but really in a sense in a sense he did because she said curse God and die so she wasn't she was of very little value if any at all and so all the way through the Book of Job we have the three friends that are saying you know they're bringing to his attention all this stuff and they're they and and some of it was valuable but some of it was not really helpful um and it made probably job have a lot of internal uh combustion a lot of stuff going on inside probably had thoughts that maybe did I mess up have I done wrong and and and there there in the last chapter of the Book of Job the Bible tells us that the Lord the Lord spoke to job and said or the job prayed for his friends this what it said the the Bible said and the Lord turn the Captivity of job when he prayed for his friends now I would like to believe that those friends had at least in part heart caused him hardship and heartache and stress and and anxiousness and a lot of lot of difficulty but the Bible said in job 42 that God turned the Captivity of job when he prayed for his friends he got his eyes off of his situation and he started praying for somebody else and the whole thing got flipped and he was the latter end was job was blessed twice than what the first end was he had everything restored and he had double come back to him and he lived after all that like 140 years 100 something years and saw three four generations of of children and grandchildren but it all it all came about it all turned when job prayed for somebody else besides himself he prayed for his three friends so I guess the moral of that story here y'all is if we could just get somehow and and I know it's easy to focus on pain and hurting and loss and setbacks and and difficulty it's easy to see all we do is and and when you're in the fire all you could see is fire and smell smoke and you don't really see the end of the tunnel there but and you just just on life support just sucking a but if we could just just get it in our head if I could just get a prayer through I could pray somebody else is going through maybe what I am and going through worse and I I want I want you God to bless them God bless my three friends they were not much help but I want you to bless them he didn't just say it from his mouth he meant it from his heart and when God saw that God turned the whole thing around and God bless them can I tell us tonight that our blessing could be tied to involving somebody else in our heart and our prayers and our intercessions in our love and fellowship and support and encourage it could be tied to you being an encourager a blesser a helper an edifier your blessing could be tied to you blessing somebody else giving it shall be given unto you good measure press down it's going to come back to you but if we we are not giving out you can't look for much to come back in that's a good place right there for an am man it's going to come back but it's got to go out first and so God turned it all around it's it's the spirit of Christ Jesus Jesus didn't come for he Brother Scott I'm about done you come on up Jesus didn't come because he had needs Jesus didn't go to the Cross because he he had messed up he went to the cross for other people he he bankrupted Heaven left the Splendor left all of it up there took on in Philippians it's he took on the the form of a servant become one of us suffered for it was it was his blood for our messed up blood it was it was his righteousness for our unrighteousness it was his no mistakes for all of our mistakes his love his mercy and Grace for all of our mess ups and Hang-Ups it that that's the spirit of Christ that he was PR referring somebody else can to have an amen he was using Hospitality to one another without grudging that's the spirit of Christ praying for others loving thinking about others concern genuine concern not not just not just going through but genuine concern that causes us to get to a prayer closet that causes us to intered get get on our knees and our face before God God help them God save save her God help them bless bless that church bless that City with Revival bless that family B help them Lord that that's again it wasn't his cross that was our cross is the spirit of Paul Paul had the same Spirit Moses of The Same Spirit I give you two examples of Moses Israel messed up are y'all out of gas give me three more answers something Israel messed up bad and and Moses went right to God and said God if you're going to wipe them out wipe me out where them I'm not going to let you destroy them God and me not have something to say Abraham God was going to destroy Sodom and gamor wipe it off the map and Abraham went to the Lord said God if there's 50 righteous would you Spirit he said yeah I'll SP got all the way down to 10 people Abraham said if there's 10 righteous people would you spare it God says yes I SP I'm talking about thinking about somebody else preferring somebody else valuing esteeming honoring standing in the gap for somebody else that need needs that needs your help and needs God's help that's that was Moses that that was Jesus that was Paul and and and even even Moses again when when with the Lord he had too much on him and they recommended get some help and they got 70 elders the Lord came down and took pulled Spirit off of Moses pulled anointing off of him put it on 70 elders and they began to prophesy the holy spirit of God came on them they prophesied 70 of them and then there was two that continued on after well outside the camp and they came to Moses said Moses El dad and another is prophesying outside the camp and Moses said are you jealous for me don't be worried about me he said I wish everybody had the spirit of God and all could prophesy I want to say tonight that is the right Spirit we should want everybody to prophesy everybody to talk in tongues everybody that have anointing everybody we want everybody to have the bles of God upon them don't be jealous for me don't be thinking selfish for me I want everybody to be blessed that's the truth that's what Melvin said I don't pray for myself and Dale and I want to do better with it we can do better with it stand in the Gap make up a hedge get get involved in somebody else get involved in their and and their hurt their sorrow they're grieving they suffering get involved with something going on beside ourselves and I believe there's an honor and there's a blessing for [Music] that will can I use the example of you going out to Hawaii just for a second will all lost a dear friend of his a few weeks back very terrible tragedy and it was in Will's heart to go to the funeral in California it's actually in the church that that will went to when he was in Hawaii as a young man it was his former Pastor close relative of his there was a very very serious tragedy that took place young man lost his life and well and ashle you went to right you went to they went out to go to the funeral and uh at the funeral uh this was this was totally off off the um off the chart U the pastor asked brother will to say something about it uh to speak at the funeral right at at the very ceremony time and and and brother will got up and spoke for like 40 minutes talked about Romans 8 the love of God who can separ to the love of God
