DON'T GET COMMON WITH THE WORD

DON'T GET COMMON WITH THE WORD

Job 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

The word of God is powerful. It has power to deliver to you anything you desire. And your attitude toward the word is what will determine how much you can take from the word. When it comes to receiving from the word, you are the determinant factor and not God. This is one reason we all don’t get the same result from the word.

While some believers cherish the word, others too don’t care much. Others too have gotten to the place where they have become familiar with the word. This is a dangerous element that can make the word of God of none effect in a believer’s life. These are the folks who say things like, we know that already; tell us something new.

The word of God is always fresh all the time. There is always something new to learn about the word, the number of times you might have read or heard that word notwithstanding. There are tapes that I have listened to them over and over again. And the more I listen to them, the more I get blessed. And the more you hear a particular message, the stronger the word is built and established in you. This results into greater works and exploits.

YOU CAN BE WEAK IN YOUR FAITH WALK

Ezra 4:4‭-‬5 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ ‬

I believe this title is a wake up call to all believers in the body of Christ. And I know some folks will find his topic weird and may even reject it out rightly. But if you are a Bible student, and you have the understanding of the whole counsel of God, you will know that it is true that a believer can be weak in the things of God. You don’t even need to go far; just even in your local church there may be weak believers, some you may probably know.

You can be weak in giving; you can be weak in going to church; you can be weak in praying; you can be weak in studying the word; you can be weak in evangelism. May be once upon a time you were very active in giving; but now you find it hard to give to God – paying your tithe has now become a challenge – you have to debate it with the Holy Ghost before giving it.

LEADERS MUST TAKE THE LEAD IN GIVING

LEADERS MUST TAKE THE LEAD IN GIVING

2 Chronicles 35:8 And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.

Leaders must be involved in giving. It is to you a according to your faith and not title. If you are a Pastor or a leader in the house of God and you don’t participate in giving financially in the kingdom of God, it is sure you will receive nothing. If the leader in the house of God wants to receive, like every other believer, he must be involved in the giving business.

From our opening scripture, we are told how the princes, meaning, the rulers gave willingly to the celebration of the Passover feast. And I love the style by which they gave; they gave willingly. This is how God wants us to give. If you study scripture carefully, you will see how leaders in the Bible gave offerings to God. Before David died, he made so much provision for the building of the temple running into billions of dollars. Also, his mighty men were involved in giving to the building of the temple.

Something happens to a church when the Pastor is involved in giving. When a Pastor is a giver, it affects the giving ability of his members. Suddenly, folks in the church begins to give generously to the work of Christ.

COMMITTED PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO GOD CAN USE IN THE CHURCH

COMMITTED PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO GOD CAN USE IN THE CHURCH

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

You must be committed to the church because, God only entrust greater responsibilities to those who are committed to kingdom things. Apostle Paul charged pastor Timothy to only entrust the revelations of God’s word to faithful men who shall be able to teach others.

Finding committed people in the church sometimes can be a little bit difficult especially in these last days where people are more concerned about what they will eat and drink and the necessities and luxuries of life.

But as pastors, one of the things that we must do is to fight for commitment. We have to fight for commitment. What I mean is that we have to transform normal church attendees into committed workers in the house of God. And this may take some prayer, teaching and encouragement. But we can win thus, let us fight for it. If you don’t reach out intentionally to get members committed, chances are you may not get folks to be committed to the things of God.
