TRUTH that Micah teaches |
ACTION that Micah invites |
1. Understanding piety
In its simplest definition, piety means that we radiate with the fruits of the Spirit. |
6:8
Adopt the four proven virtues of the Christian life: justice, mercy, humility and faithfulness. |
2. A path toward holiness
Holiness is resting completely in GOD's hands and depending entirely on his direction. |
5:10-15
Understand that, ultimately, GOD will separate us from anything foreign to his will, or from any way in which he hasn't led us. |
3. Key lessons in faith
Faith is simpler than it seems. It's something that we choose rather than a quality that we possess. Many of GOD's promises are so amazing that we aren't able to comprehend them; we can only believe in them. But we can always choose to believe, or trust in his Word, no matter the magnitude of the challenge that it signifies. |
2:7
Remember that the Word of GOD always accomplishes the good that it sets out to do.
4:13
Believe that in His time GOD will give the riches of the world to those who desire to serve the interests of the kingdom.
7:8,9
Understand that only GOD can judge his people. Trust that he will also restore them. |
4. Keys for a wise life
Wisdom teaches us to accept the evaluation of man that GOD makes, no matter what it can represent for the materialistic environment in which we live. |
2:11
Don't forget that listening only to that which we want to hear will make us disobedient and impure in GOD's eyes. |
5. Lessons for leaders
Spiritual leadership is a sacred commission. Although sometimes coveted by neophytes, it's a hard task for all who fulfill it. Leaders are asked to speak energetically and not use their positions to achieve economic benefits or attributions of personal power. |
2:6,7
Never discourage the leaders who dare to preach all of GOD's counsel. Don't reproach teachers and preachers when they admonish or warn others. Refuse to listen to only a part of the Word of GOD. Receive the correction just as you would a congratulation.
3:5-7
Leaders, believe that GOD will allow himself to be revealed to those who become mercenaries of the ministry.
3:11
Leaders, be warned: never, never put a price on the ministry that you develop. Never deceptively seduce people to help you financially using methods of psychological or spiritual manipulation. |
