Todays Sermon. Brilliant.
Its taken from Joshua 1 and it talks about the responsibility given to Joshua after Moses died. OK so you might not know this story or you simply can't remember. But the whole lesson point for today is that God is STRONG when we are weak. He finds out lowest point and makes them strong for his glory as we rely more on him. Ever wondered why you have low/troubled/ill times in life? Maybe God just wants you to rely more on him. To rely on this power that no one else has but him. We can have absolute certainty in his supernatural power. (v2).
DREAM BIG DREAMS OF HOW HE CAN USE US (v3-5)
OK so if you jump over to Ephesians 6 v12, it talks about having two weapons of defence.
1. SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
This means to know your message. Do you think you know the bible well enough and you ought to, in order to be able to share it with others? Perhaps a New year's resolution?
2.PRAYING WITH THE SPIRIT
God says that he wrestles with the evil spirits when you pray.
So what are we going to use these weapons for you might ask? Well, just when you seek to get your friends or family to Christ but you just can't imagine them turning to Christ. It says that they are blinded from the Glory of God.
The only way you can get your friends or family to Christ is by constant PRAYER. Never give up!! Up till today I have never thought of praying as throwing a holy dynamite in them. Every time you pray, a holy dynamite is thrown in, and just one day at the right time, the holy Spirit will be revealed to them and they will explode to finally see the GLORY OF GOD.
So pray specifically and by name!
Be continually filled with God's Word!
''Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1 v9
