Human beings in the hands of God for Greater Works
Because God will be using us to do great things, we aim this afternoon to understand how God used His servants in the past and now for great things.
The sermon shall address questions such as how God can use weak and vulnerable people to overcome giants, worldliness, addictions, etc.
Key Message.
Believe in God
Don't complain, grumble or give excuses.
It is God who will do it. We are only vessels.
Follow God's instructions.
Overcoming the giants in society and at our workplaces.
God has indeed sent us as sheep among wolves; how can we be overcomers? Numbers 13:26 -14:25. Answer: Be wise and, at the same time, be innocent (Matt 10:16-17). Be wise to obey God and be innocent, not to sin, because the giants will devour you once you sin. N.B. If you fight the wolves, they will devour you; believers don't fight giants; God fights the giants for the believers (e.g., see 2 Chron. 20: 15-17; Exodus 23:23-26, Matt 13:24-30).
Overcoming the giants within you (Romans 7:+4-25):
How can sinners and those with addictions ever be set free? The answer is Jesus Christ. Accept Jesus as Lord, repent from your sins, be baptised, and live as a child of God.
Overcrowding worldly pleasures and money (Luke 18:18-30):
How can worldly people, those who love money, be saved? Answers: do not love the world,..(1 John 2:15-17). If you live in the world, God will allow the world or whatever worldly thing you love to hurt you so that you will begin to hate it. What is hurting you or giving you problems in Life is what you love more than God. E.g., Job, wife, husband, children, money?
