One of the most consistent things that people do as they start a new year is some type of New Years resolution or plan for the future. Personally, I find nothing wrong with putting a plan together that is going to help one improve upon the life that they live or the way they live...
Every time before we begin to worship I as always start off with giving God some type of praise offering. One would wonder why the pastor always starts in that manner. And it is a very simple answer; there is power in praise.
Our message today is going to brief but to the point. I want us to take a look at some of the key scriptures that the bible gives reference to when it comes to knowing Christ, serving Christ and loving Christ.
John the Baptist spent a lifetime preaching the same sermon over and over again, and that was repent for the kingdom of the lord is at hand. As simple as it may seem it is a challenging act for a lot to do because they know not how to repent.
We find ourselves going through life faced with the decisions that we need to make each and every day. We look at our situations and wonder why things still seem the same.
Each and every one of us have been in training for the past year. Make no mistake that we are about to embark upon challenges and opportunities that I cannot explain. What I can say to you is that it is important that you are ready for the challenge, it is important that you are prepared for the challenge and it is equally important that you are willing for the challenge. Amen
How many times have we asked the question what is the purpose, what is my mission, what is it that God has for me to do? This is not an uncommon thing to wonder about. In fact it is the one thing that you should be certain about when it comes to your walk with Christ. Your purpose.
As believers we tend to use a lot of adjectives when it comes to the God and the power of God. We are quick to say he can do this and he can do that. We learn to have these expectations when it comes to God. As a believer these statement is common practice and understanding to us. Even those that believe in God but have not sold out to God believe the exact same thing.
In this walk of life we are currently in. We should want to learn how to activate the essence of God in our lives. Let me make this clear, I am not talking about activating the power of God today. That is a totally different sermon. I want to talk about activating the essence of God in our lives daily.
