Sermon note (3rd svc)
2016 is going to be special year. This is the year of possessing our possessions.
This is our year. Now is the time. Today is the day of salvation
Gospel of grace and peace. No other gospel.
Holiness to God is Christ. He is our standard. Our standing before God is measured by what Christ has done at the cross.
Believe the right thing and we will live the right way.
Ephesians 4:25
Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.
Live worthy of the calling of God. We are not petty cos we are princessly. We are the royalty.
Princely authority.
What they have, who they are in Christ. Separation from and separation unto.
Seated with Christ in the heavenly place.
When we seat, the seat carry our weight.
Jesus has done everything. Christ has taken care of if. All kind of sins, root and branch.
Stand in faith. The battle is the Lord’s.
Seat, Walk, Stand.
Wealth of the believers.
Walk.
Warfare.
We are not ready for warfare until we are ready to walk and rest.
Stand appear 3 times. Stand means we are already on victory ground
We pray from victory.
We love because God first love us.
Conscious for God’s love for us.
The blood we shed brought us near to God.
The reason why we pray, because we are close. Not try to get close.
Ephesians 4:22-24
that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Spirit of the mind. Right believing.
U cannot create yourself. There is power to put away lying.
When one lie, one is afraid of man.
Regardless of how we feel, we must trust our “instrument” our Bible. Our Jesus.
Believe God has given us a land flowing with milk and honey.
God sees us overcoming.
Joseph was able to dream dreams but was not able to interpret. However after he said no to sex sin, he was able to interpret dreams.
Watch what u think, what u see
It will reproduce.
1 Peter 1:13-15
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,
Hope fully. Grace will come to us in the revelation of Jesus.
More grace come to us.
Peace is inclusive of shalom wellness.
Knowledge of our Lord Jesus.
Grace lead to holiness.
Deuteronomy 2:14
And the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn to them.
Now is the time of favor. Now is the accepted time.
John 5:5-9
Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
And that day was the Sabbath.
A sign means something deeper for us to learn.
Seeing Jesus in every page of the bible.
True rest for this man is walking! Our only labor is to labor into rest.
Jesus paid for all our sins. It is who Christ is before God not what we are before God.
God sees Him as us. He is our true identity before God.
Deuteronomy 11:24
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the Western Sea, shall be your territory.
Walk in it. Unless we learn to sit, we cannot walk.
Matthew 11:28-30
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Is God estimate. I am forgiven according to God’s estimation.
How u can find rest.
Jesus chose where to be born. Jesus chose the family He had was poor family. They became wealthy cos He came in. He chose the country to be born in.
When u r not competing for a position, it is very peaceful. Let people think they are winning.
Secure in Christ. Lets kill pride in 2016
If u r a true servant u will end up lead a lot of people.
When God exalt u, no one can “un-exalt” u
God’s hand is bigger!
Walking with God. Be conscious God is smiling at me. Be blameless.
Galatians 5:16
Walking in the Spirit
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Focus on walking in the spirit. Be teachable.
Ephesians 5:15-19
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
Buy back time.
Give me a wise and hearing heart. Wisdom is needed for 2016.
Luke 2:52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
This year if we were walk more, the more we walk, the more we will possess different parts in our bodies in health.
At least twice a week, extended walking.
Natural walking.
Deuteronomy 11:24
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the Western Sea, shall be your territory.
Luke 2:52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
1 Kings 4:29-34
And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men—than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five. Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish. And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.
Don’t walk as unwise.
Be wise. Redeem the time.
1 Kings 3:15
Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
Presence of God. We will not neglect coming to church. We will wanna more. He will cause me to walk in wisdom.
