fact that I Maddie is our family's need some discussion we need to talk about our families yeah our families are in trouble falling apart ripped apart and I liked the show family feud I watched it when richard dawson was the hose i watch it when Steve Harvey is the host where the two families compete against each other to see who can get the most answers and score the most points a couple years ago greater Mount Calvary Holy Church in Washington our sister church had a program and they put on a Family Feud contest between two families it was the Owens family bishop boys and his family against the Jenkins family we lost but the reality is the truth were to be told when it really comes to feuding it's not but it's not with the Hatfield in the McCoys the fight is between the Hatfields and the Hatfields you get my point the fights are internal we can't get along with each other that's why people can't get along the church because they can't they haven't learned that lessons and the skills of getting along with people in their own family that's why they come to church and can't get along with nobody y'all shoulda came to this church disservice I'm about to unload I'm about to just let it all out so I want to talk about the family feud and and and I want to use and talk about the first family now here's here's a rule of biblical interpretation if you want to become a student in the scriptures one of the rules of biblical interpretation is if you want to know God's heart on something you go to the scriptures where God first mentions that topic is called the law first mentioned go ahead pastor you so deep but that is what it's called the law first mentioned you go with God first talked about it and wherever he first talked about it he'll give you some insights about his intentions about it and I want to talk about family because our families are under attack and i'ma tell you right off the bat I want to cover three areas and every area has sub points I want to talk about singles where the singles that let me see all the single people [Music] hold it up so people can scope out who sing after I talk about singles I want to talk about spouses and after I talk about spouses I want to talk about your seeds y'all say go ahead with your essence pastor I want to talk about singles spouses and seeds because in the first four chapters of Genesis God has something to say about each one of those and there's a law of this law first mention we use that God gives his heart and his intentions about it and I want to talk about it I'm gonna start off talking about the singles now I want to begin by looking at chapter 2 and I want to read verse 89 let me start off weak in verse 89 and I'm talking about single somebody say singles verse 8 says the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden and there he put the man whom he had formed and out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food The Tree of Life was also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil here's the first thing I want you to recognize here's a point this is not a point some point I died I wanted to start off by saying God put a man in the garden a single a single man in the garden a single person in the garden that's important why because God was beginning to make provisions for a single person has a family unit that's important for you to understand so sometimes you people think that you have to be married to create a family unit in the eyes of God he looks at singles has a family unit yeah he does and so he's made provisions for this single man he puts him in a garden where in that garden he has everything he needs what does he need what does he have he has a relationship with God he's got to walk with God he can commune with God he's got food he's got water you look down at verse 9 he's got food in verse 9 and verse 10 through 14 that talks about all of these rivers and waters that he has he has a walk with God he has everything you need now why is that important it's important because some of you singles think that you're not complete until you get hooked up with somebody and it's important for singles to know this is important to know that if you haven't learned to to be content and happy just with you and God another human being cannot make you happy another human being God never intended for you to look for happiness or satisfaction from another human being go ahead faster and some of your problems are you having learn to live with yourself you haven't learned how to commune with God and have the presence of God and commune with God I'm telling you today when you have a walk with God in a relationship with God and you pray and you talk to God and God talks back to you and God communicates with you and God answers your prayer and God opens up doors you've been burning about and he fights your problems for you when you've got that kind of relationship with a God you don't need nobody else as a matter of fact I am persuaded that your walk with God ought to be so tight that God has to pry you away from that in order for you to get married to somebody but the world somehow has has perpetrated allowing us that you need to have another human being you know and so and so he's a single man with everything he needed and verse 15 says something very interesting it says in verse 15 Dinda then the Lord God took the man verse 15 chapter 2 and put him in the Garden of Eden they didn't get him here's my first sub-point he gave him an assignment and here's the assignment to tend and keep the garden the word Tinh means to work the word keek means to protect he gave him a job and an assignment to work and protect so single ladies have you looking for a man the first thing you need to know ken he does he have a job y'all ain't got to say nothing not only does he have a job but can he keep a job [Applause] if you keep jumping from job to job to job the job every few months you got to go to another job something something wrong with you the payments got a little bit lower on that point right there if you can't get along with every boss you have every Co working you have have issues every place you go if every place you go everybody don't like you you the common element to the situation everybody gives you a brain plotting against you everybody everybody ain't doing that to you you got an issue you got a problem but Adam had an assignment he had an assignment to tend the garden or work the garden and to guard it ladies when you looking at a man does he have a job and you need to find out what is he guarding what is he demonstrating that he can protect you got as part of my job is to guard my wife because women need to be guarded protected now y'all gonna be mad y'all came to this service right here because I'm unloading everything I didn't get to go to all of this I've been holding back for two services I'm gonna just tell it all this is exactly how I feel now y'all y'all don't have to like me don't write me no letters don't send me no emails you ain't got to agree with me on the stuff I'm going to say but I'm just trying to I'm trying to save some families and save some homes and save you from making dramatic terrible mistakes Adam had the responsibility of tending and guarding the garden and I think women when you looking at her somebody that you were considering marriage you need to find out what is he guarding because if he can't guard something in life right he ain't gonna be able to guard and protect you and I started to say there's women need to be guarded because women think emotionally women have been strong emotions and sometimes their emotions override logic Amen pastor y'all just leave me out here it's okay amen that's true y'all got y'all y'all don't have to like what I'm saying my wife and I went to Hawaii we're told ye and in this a few years ago I was mentioned in Hawaii and it was right at the time when it was a big earthquake over in Japan or for the Philippines or someplace it was a big earthquake and they said because of the earthquake the water was going to reverberate and there was going to be a tsunami in Hawaii nobita's flood and so at the time that they thought that it was going to come and hit it you know there was making these announcements in Hawaii and talking about it in Hawaii and around the time they thought it was gonna hit they evacuated the hotel they said we had to get out the hotel go to the side of the island my wife said she didn't want to lead a hotel she wanted to stay in the hotel and videotape the flood [Applause] how many y'all know that sometimes women say crazy things [Applause] why y'all scared to raise your hair look looking at me got his hand over to the side like this here afraid to put it up like that yeah I mean it's sweaty or wired they're wired emotionally and so she needed to be guarded I'd say a woman we get up out of this hotel you know buddy trying to tape and videotape no flood is you crazy anam had an assignment and that's what his assignment was but he also had this singles you also have this you not only have assignments but Adam had boundaries and that's in verse 16 and 17 can y'all looking for 16 to 17 with me chapter 2 and the Lord God commanded the man saying the Lord God commanded the man did y'all see it says he commanded it's not a suggestion he commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden you may freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die it is a boundary God has given him a boundary you can eat of all of these trees you can eat it as fruit of these trees but this one tree don't touch and that's it that's a principle that everybody has now I'm going to do the singles have been married people have it too but here's the bottom line you've got boundaries they've got some of you there's some things if you want God's favor on your life if you want the power of God resting on your life if you want to see God open up doors for you you have to respect those boundaries amen now we live in a culture where people don't want boundaries they don't like boundaries they don't want restrictions they don't want to be told what they can't do they don't want boundaries and so they march for the right to do what they want to do but here we have boundaries you singles you got boundaries you can't do everything you want to do you can't have everything you want to have matter of fact again I'm saying to the single ladies all the single ladies all the single lady if he can't respect boundaries before you get married why do you think he's gonna respect on this afternoon requires a certain level of discipline to respect boundaries I'm trying to think if I want to say what I'm thinking about right now [Applause] desert there this is 10 and 15 years of dating the same person [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] something wrong with that picture [Applause] somebody ought to hear from God and make a decision [Music] and ladies if he can't decide if he wants you at all these years it's time for you to roll along okay let me go on a matter of fact that brings me to my third sub point not only is there assignments and I don't have their boundaries but when God sees it your life better exemplifies and gives him glory when you are in a couple partnership with somebody then he'll bring you a companion that's my third sub point is companion some of y'all want companions but you ain't ready amen and when God sees that you you better function better glorify him when you have a companion then he'll bring a companion and that's what verse 18 says and the Lord God said it is not good that man should be alone I will make him a helper comparable to him I like that right there and here's the key here a lot of people get to look at verse 18 and misquote it they say it's not good that man should be alone and they they focus in on the word alone but they have the wrong interpretation of this Hebrew word this word alone in the Hebrew is not meaning to simply be in by yourself is not good for a person to be by themselves that's not what it's saying here's what the Greek word the Hebrew word means right here the word alone means it is not healthy it's not good for you to be the chief of a city why you by yourself that's what it means it means it's not good for him to try to rule and reign and have responsibility for all of this stuff that God has given to him alone by itself he needs somebody else to help him be the chief to help him rule this rule and God and I recognize that I recognize and I'm better with my wife my wife brings stuff to the table I don't drink [Applause] but one time I wife went on a trip when she was gone I was babysitting come on y'all know the daddy's babysitting with my main home and in the first day around nine o'clock at night the kids said hey Dad are we gonna eat today my wife brings stuff to the table I don't that I don't break like food she decorated the house and made stuff the house feels like a home she she's got the little whatnot and she's got the tablecloths and she's got the table settings and she got 40 sets of dishes even those only two of us there she got 40 sets of dishes and she's got all of the stuff to make the house a home she's got the wreath on the door at Christmastime she wants four or five trees in the house I'm saying last year elder Barham I bought an artificial tree and I said to myself praise the Lord we got an artificial tree just so dude was good I had to buy another tree but here we come and now she wants even though we got the artificial tree she wants to still go out and buy a live tree yo no it only courage their food why you need three or four trees in a house I'm saying why you need three or four trees in the house don't make no sense ain't no kids in the house I don't need three no three I feel a cussing spirit rising up [Applause] got me going out here looking for it tree out there freezing the wind blowing I'm thinking to find a tree don't need one but she likes that that's her thing that's her thing she brings to the home flavor she's a companion it brings flavor to to the home she brings something to the table that I that I just don't have and so I'm better with her I'm better so he brings a companion when when you can do better with somebody than you came by yourself and so and so to the singles that's that's that's the word of the Lord to you assignment boundaries and when God feels you can do move it advance his kingdom better he'll bring you a companion let me go to point to let me talk about spouses go ahead give a clap for singles amen now go to chapter three because I now I want to talk about spouses somebody say spouses so you're going to have a family feud in the singles if you don't know about what your assignment is you're gonna have a feud if you don't understand boundaries you're gonna have a few if you connect with a companion that God didn't designed to be your companion you'll have a feud now spouses is point to Genesis chapter three I want to walk down through these first six verses and talk about spouses starting at verse one we're gonna see about the family feud with spouses now the serpent was more cunning verse one than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made and he said to the woman the serpent said to the woman has God indeed said you shall not eat of every tree of the garden a garden and the woman said to the serpent we may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God has said you shall not eat it nor shall you touch it lest you die then the serpent said to the woman you will not surely die for God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be open and you will be like God knowing good and evil so the woman saw that the tree was good for food that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree desirable to make one wise and she took of its fruit and ate do y'all see that right there now let me give you my first sub point two spouses here's where we're gonna have a family feud it happens when one of the spouses listens to unauthorized voices thank all 15 of y'all for that amen this is what brings a problem it's a problem when you start listening to people outside of your marriage to give you advice about your marriage when you start discussing your family business with other people yeah when you start and by the way some of y'all are talking to people who you marry trying to make your marriage work and you talking to people about your marriage and they ain't never even been married yeah and some of y'all are talking to people been married three or four times they haven't been able to make one marriage work but they gonna tell you how to make your marriage work those are those are unauthorized voices Eve here is dialoguing with satan she's listening to an unauthorized voice who is questioning God questioning the commands of God and making the declaration the devil the center and God didn't really mean that and some of y'all are listening to the voices that are telling you that and so she rejected God's command and she received those instructions from her husband matter of fact here's here's a truth here here God didn't tell Eve he told Adam Adam told E that's okay all right let me alright y'all like that I felt tension in the room on that point right there she rejected the command and the scripture says her response to the same suggestion was to take of the fruit and to eat so she rejected what God said and then here's what the scripture says look at verse 6 again the last part of her sick says she also gave to her husband with her and he ate now here's the point the devil was talking to Eve and Adam was standing right there and so my point here is his a second point abandoned responsibilities she listen to unauthorized voices he abandoned his responsibilities has the head at a home has the father has a protector of his wife and instead of him taking a stand and warning her or stopping her or appealing to her he didn't do anything except for participating with her and he ate of the tree he hated the fruit of the tree that's a problem it is a problem it is a drastic deal this is a big deal that he should here's what he should have done when he saw her reaching for the fruit from off the tree they weren't supposed when she got close to the tree he should have went up does that don't do that you know God said don't go there come away from there he should have picked her up and grabbed her and took her away no no he should have done that but what he should have done is talk to her and challenged her when he saw her reaching up and grabbing for the fruit he should have grabbed the fruit from her out of her hands but no that's not what he did she ate and put taking this she gave some to him and he partook as well he abandoned his responsibilities as the leader of the home he abandoned what his role and responsibility was I'm telling you today brothers we need men to rise up and be the leaders of their homes that God has called them to be you might not be liked your kids might get upset they might get upset they might get angry they might get frustrated they might not like you I told my kids that they were growing up I ain't your friend I'm your father I'm not trying to be your friend I'm not trying to get you to like me I'm trying to prepare you here's what I'm trying to do I'm trying to prepare you for life that when you leave this house you can go and get yourself the ability to take care of yourself and not come back that's what I'm trying to work on somebody high-five your neighbors I don't want them coming back [Applause] I want you to be able to get a job keep a job maintain a job or if not a job I want you baby create a business and work a business and be diligent with that business want you to be responsible and take care of it but he abandoned his responsibilities he didn't do what he was supposed to do he should have appealed to her when he saw her but he didn't she reached up and grabbed and took a bite and ate and she gave it to him but now we have a problem they have disobeyed the commands of God and then we get to verse number nine I want y'all to go down to verse number nine let's go to verse eight no let's read verse seven then the eyes of both of them that were open and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings and they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden didn't the Lord God called to Adam and said to him where are you so he said I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid because because I was naked and I hid myself and he said who told you that you were naked and then he made this amazing question have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded that you should not eat when God asks a question it's not because he doesn't know the answer then the man said this is what men do right here verse 12 [Applause] the woman listen listen to his answer the woman hold you games to be with me she gave me of the tree and I ate he tried to pass the baton that's always her father when ultimately was his responsibility has the man to step up and be the leader he was supposed to be when he should've done was made an appeal to her not to do it but if she chose to go ahead and do it anyway has women will do from time to time come on brothers say Amen a little bit louder than that he should have appealed her and said no but if she went on and persisted and determined if she still had to happen I still listen to that unauthorized voice and went on and took a bite of it she he could have he should have said oh no II do you know what you've done you have violated God's thin and girl you go girl girl [Applause] you gonna die that's what he should have done and when he heard the voice of God walking in the cool of the day walking through the garden and when God asked him the question what has happened here Adam should have said God she did it I tried to tell her not to do it but she went on and she ate it I tried to warn her I made an appeal but she did it and I know she's supposed to die for what Adam should have said is god I love her so much I care for her so much don't kill her let me die in her place and what the first Adam failed to do the second Adam did what the first Adam I don't know about y'all but I give God praise that Jesus came and took my place and died in my place was crucified in my place was buried in my place I'm thankful to God [Applause] that's what he should have done but he failed somebody here today who's a sinner needs to know that Jesus already died in your place he shed his blood and went to the cross and was crucified and took the punishment that you should have gotten and we called him the second Adam because he did with the first Adam fail to do for his bride Jesus has done for his bride let me close and talk about the seeds and I talk about the seeds for a second can y'all go to chapter four and I want to talk about the seeds the seeds the children because the seeds are important to God when we get to chapter four he starts talking about their sons and in specific he talks about Cain and Abel let me throw this out for just just a little extra point for free what's the purpose of your CD because just jot this down in verse 26 it says talking about Seth one of the sons later sons of that Cain and Abel the son that took the took Abel's place Seth and it says when Seth was born then men began to call on the name of the Lord that's what your seeds we've got to train our seeds to call on the name of the Lord yeah that's what we got to do we got a train them that their role is and their purpose and their assignment is to cry out to God and depend upon God and so we have to train me to do that but but I want to read this thing right here if starting at verse 3 of chapter 4 can we go to chapter 4 verse 3 of chapter 4 let me start at verse 1 I might as well start at verse 1 why why won't I start at verse 1 I'm going to start at verse 1 of chapter 4 now Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and bore Cain and said I have acquired a man from the Lord then she bought again this time his brother Abel now Abel was a keeper of sheep but Cain was a tiller of the ground Abel was a keeper of sheep but Cain was a tiller of the ground and in the process of time verse 3 it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord and Abel brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fed and the Lord respected Abel and his offering but he did not respect and his offering and Cain was very angry and his countenance fell so the Lord said to Cain why are you angry and why has your countenance fallen verse 7 if you do well will you not be accepted and if you do not do well sin lies at the door and this desire is for you but you should have rule over it y'all see that right there y'all follow me so they both bought an offer from the God Cain brought an offering Abel brought an offering Abel's was accepted Cain was not God saw that Cain was upset said if you make the right choice if you do the right thing if you do well your offering will be accepted in verse number 8 it says now Cain talked with Abel his brother and it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him somebody say that's a definitely a family feud I want to talk about the fact that the enemy seeks to destroy your sees the devil wants to destroy your children he wants to get him on the wrong track our assignment is to guard men guard and keep our children and to watch over them and to help guide them so the devil won't deceive them and tricked him and fooled them and destroy them the devil were knowled that your children represent a threat to his kingdom if your children ever become what God wants them to become they will defeat his kingdom God will raise up our sons and daughters to be mighty and be warriors for his kingdom that's why it's our job to help prepare them and equip them but the devil wants to kill them and destroy them get him on the wrong track get him on drugs get him making bad choices before they can become what God wants them to become and sometimes that destruction is not only outside of the family sometimes that destruction happens inside the family in this case one is destroyed by the hands of his own brother Cain killed his brother Abel it wasn't a strange it was somebody he knows it wasn't even my so-called friend it was somebody who knew it wasn't an abusive parent or an abusive relative it was at the hands of somebody he knew his own brother Cain killed Abel why did Cain kill Abel because Abel's offering was accepted and Cain's wasn't why was Abel's offering accepted but Cain was not I mean can I tell you why I'm glad you asked the question in verse 3 it says came brought an offering of the fruit of the ground the key is the word offering y'all see that weren't offering in verse 3 the word offering in the Hebrew means leftovers his was messing some of y'all love y'all bringing leftovers to God after you done paid everybody else and have you done took care your rent and your mortgage and your credit cards and your cable bill and after you didn't done all of that then whatever's left over that's what you bring to God God don't favor God cannot accept leftover off y'all ain't got the clap I think I hear heaven saying no no don't that go clap that's a leftover clap don't even bring the clap [Applause] but Abel look at what did verse four Abel also brought look what he brought the firstborn of his flock the firstborn not a left over not after he took the best of the lamb or the best of the Sheep he bought the firstborn right off the top before he did anything with anything before he fed himself before he nurtured himself before he took care of himself he bought the firstborn right off the top and God wants to raise up our people I feel conviction in the room i fite need to have an altar call tell you to bring your repented offering up here's what I should talk God wants us to be a people that he's at the top of the line not a second choice not fifth in the list of all the bills you have to pay but at the top not a leftover he able Abel brought the firstborn of his flock and God accepted that because it was the first boy but let me close with this I'm bringing this to a close I've been up for 43 minutes I'm almost finished y'all know y'all say take my time in the start but when it gets 50 minutes y'all don't say nothing at that time it's too late now look at verse 9 the Lord said to Cain where is Abel your brother he said I do not know am I my brother's keeper the devil wants to destroy your seed but let me tell you one other thing we need to teach our seeds to understand truth we need to teach them how to tell the truth and how to recognize the truth you know I watched this culture today especially of young people who can't recognize the truth you know I'm a football fan I watch football and you know the referee pulls out the flag and throws the yellow flag down there and cause interference hold it and then they say it's number 76 pin Jones was holding 15-yard penalty there's been Joey put the camera here Oh what funnier then they show the replay and show the man grabbing the man's jersey and pull the man down and we live in a culture where people can't recognize truth it says interference Crippen they don't see it and we live in a culture today that translates even in the in the people's homes in the way they live their lives they can't recognize what the truth is we need to teach our children to recognize truth when your children lie to you don't skip over it make that a big point you told a lie we need to teach our children you can't go through life thinking it because you view it a certain way did that makes it the truth I'm not going to call no names but one certain person made a declaration that it was the biggest crowd in any inaugural situation in the world [Applause] there's a person who lived his life underprivileged where he had not has not learned and he's grown up to be an adult who can't recognize truth we gotta raise up our children to recognize what the truth is and to recognize God's truth Amen somebody say man look at your neighbor say Amen yeah you can lie to him you want but don't don't lie to God because he is the truth he says I'm the way the truth and the life no man can get to the Father except through him he is the truth so here's what I'm trying to tell you today Cain and Abel had their conflict families have conflict and I want to say let me just close with this whole illustration this story here because I've come to learn I'm the oldest child of my parents I'm the oldest I have a responsibility has two oldest to care for my siblings yeah I do to look after them I am now I is now the patriot of the Jenkins plan amen that's my responsibility and I recognize that I need to I need to make sacrifices and make hard choices to try to guide them give them wisdom and so many of you know my father passed in August my father was living in a home to which I my sister lived with him to take care of him and they live in the house that I paid a mortgage on so my father died my sister decided to move into the master bedroom she moved in the master bedroom and decided to paint paint the walls to repaint the room so they she got my brother to paint the room for her and they took the wall plates off of the wall you know where the sockets are and the light switches to paint the room and when they took the plates off the wall they found some money in the plates in the in the wall socket my father was hiding money in the wall sockets so my brother took the money and split it with my sister didn't tell me nothing about it I feel the cussing spirit rising up on me I paid a mortgage I pay the electric bill I pay the water bill I do all of that on that house I'm coming down here cuz if I slip up and cross I won't be up in the pulpit when I come when I come [Applause] do y'all hear what I'm saying to you and they split it among themselves and did not give me a dime it was my money it was my money I want to gave it to him yeah and then they come telling me about it later after it's gone but it's okay I wouldn't have taken the money anyway it's just a principle of the fact here's why I'm telling you this because a lot of families are feuding especially when somebody dies and there's money involved and what I'm saying to you is has Christians has seasoned mature children of God don't let money become the issue that divides siblings don't fight over money don't fight over property you can get more money you can get more property you can't get another blood brother or blood sister it's not worth it this should not cost that relationship you be the mature one you rise up I said take it I don't want it and you know what I discovered if if you're wrong but God we serve we'll pay you back double what's happened do I have any witnesses in this back you stand on your feet let's give God a shout of praise for his word I know I'm Way over time thank y'all y'all didn't leave I think one or two people left and I and I didn't have my gun this shootin why they was leaving but somebody needs Jesus today somebody needs forgiveness of their sins somebody needs a walk with God somebody needs to join the church they need to rededicate somebody needs to rededicate themselves to the Lord Jesus let me invite you to come right now while the blood is running warm in your veins come now and say yes sir God unsaved backslidden unsure or you need maybe already saved and you need a church home come right now this would be the appointed time cut while the blood is running warm in your bank amen come on right now right this moment amen [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh [Applause] Oh [Music] [Music]
