Lesson derived from today's live worship 11/03/2021
Isaiah 41:21-29 KJV
Produce your cause, saith the Lord ; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. [22] Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. [23] Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. [24] Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. [25] I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay. [26] Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. [27] The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. [28] For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. [29] Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
The good done to a factory worker whose head was hit with stone and lost his job. Although he couldn't provide for the need of his family any longer. The Church of God members international help them to gain livelihood, pay for medication, repair their house. He was much more grateful to God for the renewed hope. He was grateful to God.
He appreciates God and His church for the helping hands. He said they don't have to loose hope because of the help of God and His Church. To God be glory and honour for ever.
We must be grateful to God for the hope we have and the ability to sustain this hope in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:34 KJV
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
God doesn't want our attention to be drawn away from our obligations to God.
Matthew 6:24 KJV
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
God is the provider of all things and our attention must be on him and not on things.
Matthew 6:20 KJV
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Our eyes must incline on God not the this of the earth so that we will not be taken away from the real purpose of serving the Lord.
We must not be taken away from God. We must not forsake the gathering of the brethren, so that we don't end up forsaken God and running after things.
We must not abandon our worship and service to God. Anxiety is a satanic instrument that lures a man away from the purpose of our existence. We must cast our cares upon the lord. We must not forget the lilies of the field that are glorious in look, yet God loves us more than lilies of the field. We must not be anxious of tomorrow for tomorrow shall take cares of themselves. God will care for us, and for our tomorrow.
The devil uses our anxiety to fight agains us always.
Many had resolved to ungodliness for survival sake. We must not never allow anxiety to destroy us, but turn and trust on God.
Deuteronomy 32:39 KJV
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
Doctors don't heal but God. At anytime our trust must be on God and not on drugs. It is God that protect. There are people who dies without sickness. It is God that keeps from falling and preserves lives.
Job 2:9 KJV
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
Jobs trust never wavered through the hard time.
Ephesians 4:28 KJV
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
We must never be anxious because we lack money. We must be smart in facing our warfare, so that it doesn't move us away from God. We must lust our trust in God.
2 Corinthians 4:17 KJV
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
After every battle the song of victory is always sweet. And joy will over flow your heart. Success is always appreciated. And that is why we must not allow anxiety to pull us down. We must never allow anxiety to weaken us.
Pandemic is a turbulent time. In this same time God want us to do good even in this time when goodness is scarce. We must not loose our faith in God. And embrace goodness.
Romans 1:20 KJV
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
What the enemy is doing is to steal our trust in God and to resolve into fear and anxiety. We are reminded of the things God made that we may remaining in trusting God. So that we have no excuse. A lot of God's creatures remain from creation till now. So we can trust such God who created all things and sustain them, that He will keep and see us through.
For us not to return to darkness we are constantly reminded of the precious work of God in creation.
Romans 1:17-26 KJV
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. [18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. [24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
We must never allow sun to go down on our wrath. You must not turn your back against God because you are angry with your neighbor. When we look at the eternal power of God, then we will not go back to darkness. We must not glorify the corruptible things above God the creator of all things.
Our body is the work of God, the functionality is even the creative and sustaining power of God. We must trust in God despite what we may be going through.
We are in a wonderful world created by God, the rainbow, the skies, the tress, and everything is love of God that created them and sustain them. And all this is a show that God loves us and will sustain us too. We are much more precious than all that we created.
Rom1:20, is a simple example for us that we human being should not loose trust in the living God.
Ephesians 5:25 KJV
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
There is a God who loves us. Every things in creation is a proof of God's love to everyone of us. Even in this pandemic God's love is still real and available.
Matthew 6:22 KJV
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Our eyes must be single trusting in the Lord. There about 50 to 430 billion bird in the world, and God still keep and provide for them. The birds don't plant not harvest yet God provides for them. We must never worship creatures but the creator. We must stand firm. Trusting God always believing he can provide and keep us all.
