Topic: all I have is the Lord
Text: Ps 24
If what I have is the Lord's then if He says give it to someone else, then I ungrugingly am to happily give it. That means our very lives, our time, with nothing withheld.
The song, "Channels of Blessings" addresses this principle that see need to see ourselves as a channel, a means that God can use to help other people and continue the work of the Lord.
Let me share a story...
In a deacons meeting, the pastor presented a need the church had. It was going to cost some money. Pastor was immediately opposed. The pastor explained it was really not a large amount and that God would provide through his people who had faith and trusted Him. Head deacon blurted out, "Well, I just don't have that kind of faith". The deacon never prayed about the matter, did not seek the Lord's will personally and just wholly in the flesh said NO to the pastor who had prayed and sought God's will and was being lead of the Lord!
What was the effect of this?
1St. NO faith which violated
Hebrews 11:6.
2nd. He closed door in the Lord's face.
3rd. Shut the door to receiving any possible blessing of the Lord in their lives.
4th. Refused to let God use them, thus the will of God was not done.
5th. Set a terrible example before the others in the church, especially the young people.
6th. They personally willful, disobeyed the Lord and placed themselves out of his fellowship.
7th. They place God in the position as to having to chasten them, and had to endure the hardships of sickness, financial loss and etc.
8th. They refused to follow God's preacher He has sent to lead them.
There might have been a time in which you too have done the same thing, you need to let the truth set you free, you have nothing. God owns your life and he can take it anytime anyhow, learn.
I Pray for you Every way you have disappoint God that make you surfer God will forgive you and restore you ijn
