Faithfulness cont'd
b. He wants you to be faithful in the study of his word. Ps119:130 “The entrance of thy word giveth light and brings understanding to the simple” Ps119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” Read the bible, it will scare the devil out of you. He won’t come near you.
c. Be faithful in Church attendance Heb10:25. God doesn’t want shares of your life, he wants controlling interest.
d. Be faithful in your calling, be passionate about it, be very effective in your calling. Don’t be every where and non effective but rather focus on your calling and be effective in it. James 5:16 “The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”.
2Pet.1:10 “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling
And election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fail”
Romans11:13 “For I speak to you gentiles, in as much as I am the apostle of
the gentiles,I magnify my office”.
The problem with a lot of Christians is that we make a lot of excuses.
Luke14:16-24 emphasis vs. 18, the account in Mathew says they made light of it.
All the excuses are the same, we want to serve God at our convenience and not when God wants us to.
We make excuses not to do the work of God:
One thing I know about London is that if you want make excuses you will get one thousand and one excuses but if you want to work for God, you will surely find a way.
For example, I don’t have time, God understands, I don’t think I can do that, It’s too hard, when all is well with me.
We say things like,
I don’t have time, but time spent with God is never wasted.
I don’t think I can do that, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I need money! God says it is he that gives you power to get wealth Deut.8:18
It’s impossible! But God says all things are possible.
I am so tired but God says I will give you rest Mt.11:28-30
No body really loves me, but God says I love you Jn3:16
I can’t go on, God says my grace is sufficient for you. 2Cor.12:9
I am not able, God is able to make all grace abound towards you that ye always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work 2Cor9:8
I can’t forgive myself, God says I forgive you 1John1:9
I just can’t manage, God says I will supply all your needs according to my riches in glory Phil4:19
I am afraid, God says I have not given you the spirit of fear 2Tim1:7, If God be for you, who can be against you?
I am worried and frustrated, God says cast all your care on me 1Peter5:7
I am not smart enough, I will give you wisdom 1Cor1:30
I feel all alone, I will never live you nor forsake you Heb.13:5
Prov3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy path.
We make excuses to sin:
We sometimes say turning from sin is a process when in fact we just don’t want to turn away and deny ourselves for God. I did my very best but I couldn’t control myself, show me the specific verse that says we can’t do that, even the bible says we should drink,
The truth is he won’t give us a temptation that is above what we can bear.
Listen to me Church he is coming for a bride whose dress is spotless and no one can climb over the fence we all have to go through the gate.
Some of us listen to worldly music making all kinds of excuses and it pollutes our minds with lust and reduces your resistance to sin.
Why do we put aside all the scriptures that encourage us to lead a holly life and just find that one scripture that we can wrongly interpret and pervet to encourage us live in sin.
He is coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. He is coming for a people who are ready to go with him to his Kingdom.
The Bible says without holiness it is impossible to please God.
The Bible says for our sake he was whipped, a crown of thorns was put on his heard, his side was pierced for us and he was crucified for our sins. Let’s put aside all the excuses and serve God with all our heart soul and spirit.
Lets serve him diligently with all of our hearts
