Sermon note – 22nd June (2nd svc)
By Pastor Lawrence

Abundant Life!

It is the love of God that draws us to Him. He has loved us with everlasting love!!

Have an encounter with God who IS LOVE

God wants us to be happy!!
Jesus has come that i may have life and have life more abundantly!!

God wants us to be happy and enjoy life!! Life is not meant to be endured. Life is meant to enjoy and enjoy to the fullest.

John 10:11
“ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

Our Lord don’t just lead us but willing to lay down His life for us!!

He blesses us even though we are unworthy!

We must first be unworthy to receive from Jesus!!

The law was given by Moses and Grace and Truth came by Jesus!! God wants to do good to us!
God is a good God and devil is bad.

Good, u remove one o and is God.
Devil, u remove d, and is evil.

Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

God wants to do good to us! Healing all who were oppressed.

People who are sick, if you are in pain, is oppression of the devil.

Healing is for today. Healing is not just for chose select few.

God wants to heal us physically!!

Jesus went about doing good, healing those who are oppressed of the devil.

Isaiah 53:4
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.

Grief- Kholee in hebrew means sickness
Sorrow – makob in hebrew means pains

Jesus came to bear our sickness and pains!

1 Peter 2:24
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes (molopi, Greek, singular) you were healed.

Every part of Jesus was bruised. He went thru so much so that we can be healed. We are called to believe in the absolute truth of God’s word

God’s word reveal His will!

When we believe God and we don’t see what we believe for, we are discouraged. What do we do? What do we do when we are waiting for God?

Genesis 12:1-3
Chapter 12
Promises to Abram
Now the Lord had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

The Lord told Abram that He will make him a great nation.

Abram was 75 years old!

When did they have Issac? Abraham and Sarah had Issac when Abraham was 100 years old! Sarah was 90 years old!!!

It is a miracle!!

How long did they wait? They waited for 25 years old!!!

Have u waited 25 years for your miracle?

God wants to heal, wants to bless us!!

I am the righteousness of God in Christ!!

Isaiah 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

If God’s word said by His stripes i am healed, i am!! Stand upon God’s word even though i don’t feel anything !!

Just believe even though i did not see!!

Sickness is demonic. When we believe by Jesus’ stripe we are healed, we are healed!

Sometimes we can force ourselves to get the result. Go by His grace! His unmerited favor of God!!

Genesis 12:1-4
Chapter 12
Promises to Abram
Now the Lord had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy- five years old when he departed from Haran.

Romans 4:16
Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

Romans 4:17-22
(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

Contrary to hope, in hope believed.

God only record our success!

Hope is to expect good thing from God. Continue to hope.

Romans 4:19
And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

He did not consider his own body.
What are u considering today?

Don’t cast away our confidence!’
In the darkest point of your life, the Lord Jesus will come to u!!
The JD of a Savior is to save!!

Keep your eyes on Jesus! Don’t do at the contrary! Look at Jesus! Keep your eyes on Him for He will help you and bless you!!

Don’t give up in the midst of believing God for miracle!

We can be discouraged and start to wonder when we don’t get our miracles. Know this, challenge this thought. Sin is not the one that stop the Lord from blessing us. What does the bible tells us about our sins?

We are the new creation! Old things have passed away and all things have become new!

All our sins are forgiven! Pass present and future!!

In God’s eyes there is no sin! We are holy blameless and above reproach!
It has nothing to do with our feeling. It is about what Jesus has done! It is faith in the Word of God!!

Believe we are forgiven

A king fell in love with a prostitute. The prostitute became queen after they got married. Than one day a man shouted that the queen is a prostitute. She answered she is a queen. Be confident of your identity!!

Come to the Lord seeing we are always His child! Don’t cast away our confident! Expect a miracle and we shall have it!!

God blesses us because of how good He is!!

Today see His grace and He will see us in our faith.
