SOME NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: SOME NEWS YEARS REVOLUTIONS

1THESS 5:14-23

Intro:
Many people are making, and will make, New Years Resolutions. That is, they will promise themselves that they will lose weight, stop smoking, go to church or something of that nature.

Webster defines a resolution as: "a) a resolving, or determining; deciding b) the thing determined upon; decision as to future action; resolve." Now, this sounds good, and it makes people feel better about themselves to make a promise concerning something they plan to do, or something they plan to stop.
However, the problem with resolutions is that they tend to be forgotten within just a few days, or weeks, at the most.

In truth, what we really need is a revolution!

Webster defines revolution as "a) a complete or radical change of any kind b) overthrow of a government, form of government, or social system by those governed and usually by forceful means, with another government or system taking its place."

To my way of thinking, this is exactly what most Christians need to have happen in their lives.
We need to experience a radical change in the way we think and in the way we act.

What I am saying is that we need to have a revolution in the body of Christ.
Not that we should seek to dethrone Jesus, but that we should seek to put self out of power and yield ourselves to our rightful Lord and King.
We need a total overthrow of our lives until they are brought under the absolute Lordship and leadership of the Lord Jesus Christ. With that in mind,
I would like for us to look at these verses of Scripture and discover some News Years Revolutions. As Paul writes to the Thessalonicans, he tells them in no uncertain terms exactly how the Lord intends for every child of God to live his life. Notice with me some New Years Revolutions that we all need to make today.
. . . CONTINUE NEXT WEEK

LET US PRAY

MAY THIS YEAR BE A FRUITFUL YEAR OF A BETTER ACHIEVEMENT FOR YOU IN JESUS NAME
