Let Us Not Be Weary in Well Doing
Introduction:
A. The point of our lesson is made twice in the New Testament in two different contexts:I. We Must Be Resolved [Determined] in Light of Many Discouraging Factors of a Christians Life1. In a context detailing spiritual work: Galatians 6:9B. What is meant by the term “weary”?
2. In a context dealing with the need to work instead of being busybodies or face congregational discipline: II Thessalonians 3:13
3. The point – in all the good that we do let us not become tired in those good things.1. Strong’s # 1573 according to Thayer: “To be utterly spiritless, to be wearied out, exhausted.”C. What are we speaking of when talking of “well doing”?
2. Webster: “Having the strength much exhausted by toil or violent exertion; tired; fatigued.”1. Well doing leads to eternal life: Romans 2:6-7
2. Well doing sets an example to the ignorant: I Peter 2:15
3. Well doing is the opposite of evil doing: I Peter 3:17
4. Well doing commits our souls to God: I Peter 4:19
A. We sing “ I am resolved no longer to linger…”II. We Cannot Allow Ourselves to Be Exhausted1. Are we determined to carry out God’s work? Paul was, even in the face of persecution: Acts 20:24B. There are plenty ways that the devil will try to make us tired and give up.
2. Forget what was and press on to what will be: Philippians 3:13-14
3. Continue in the faith, don’t rest in your current position down: Colossians 1:23
4. We must be fruitful in every good work: Colossians 1:10-11
5. We need to make the most of the time we have: Ephesians 5:15-16
6. Remember what happens to faith without works:a. James 2:177. How often should you be busy working for the Lord: I Corinthians 15:58
b. James 2:20
c. James 2:261. The weaknesses we have in the flesh: Matthew 26:41C. We need to move from those things that exhaust towards Him who strengthens:a. We live in a carnal world that promotes carnal things: Ephesians 2:1-22. Discouragement: I Kings 19:9-18
b. But, to go with the carnal mind and way of life: Romans 8:6-8
3. Being overwhelmed: Matthew 19:26a. James 5:114. The trying of our faith: James 1:2-3
b. I Peter 5:71. Philippians 4:13
2. II Timothy 4:16-17
3. I Peter 5:8-10
4. Psalms 18:1-3
A. The race we will run for the Lord is a life-long course:III. For in Due Season We Shall Reap, if We Faint Not1. Matthew 16:24-26B. Have faith in God to renew your strength:
2. Philippians 3:7-111. Psalms 97:10C. Have enough joy in the work of the Lord that you never feel you are being asked to do too much:
2. Psalms 118:14
3. Isaiah 40:31
4. Romans 8:28
5. II Timothy 3:111. Paul was willing to be poured out as a drink offering to the service of his brethren for God: Philippians 2:16-18
2. I Timothy 4:8-10
A. What is the due season? It is the time in which we would be rewarded of we do not faint:Conclusion:1. Matthew 25:31-46B. Realize, we shall gain a reward if we do not faint:
2. Romans 14:11-12
3. II Corinthians 5:9-10
4. II Timothy 4:11. Luke 6:22-23
2. I Corinthians 3:8
3. Galatians 6:7-8
A. Let’s not be weary in well doing, but thankful for the opportunity to labor for the Lord: Colossians 3:15
B. Count your blessings, they came with a cost! I Peter 1:18-19
C. What price is sufficient reimbursement in your eyes? What point is enough? How can you repay God? LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING, for it is all we can do to show our appreciation and love towards God and our Savior Jesus Christ!!!!
My Most Beloved,
If you look for God with your whole heart you will find Him and He
will remove that affliction out of your life, family, marriage and business.
God is great and also the wisest personage in the
universe. Your decision to look for Him today as the solution to the problems
that have weighed you down in this life is the only key to the problem.
You might be among those who are searching for God but
not with your whole heart. You might also be searching for God and at the same
time going to the places you know from your heart that is not pleasing to God
Almighty.
God is everywhere you go though not accessible from all
places you have fixed your heart for the solution to your needs.
So many people have looked for this God through many
gods of various religions and yet they are still confused of life and why they
even came into existence.
Others have believed that joining different kinds of
Self Realization organizations is the key to actualize and realize what they
are looking for.
I have seen others who are tired of other gods of other
people but now they have decided to create their own gods to worship. Can a man
create God?
Yet many men have created gods and deceived you to
worship them.
Many are calling upon the names of other gods they do
not know about simply because they want to try a certain kind of worship and
see how it can be with them. Some others
are busy looking for a place to discover another strange god which is not yet
discovered by any other man. If we move
a little into the Bible book we will discover the exact message of God
concerning searching and developing gods in any other scientific method which
the Bible rightly stipulated, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve
them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that
hate me;
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments.” – EXODUS 20: 3-6.
God is warning you from this portion of the scripture
to stop developing any form of worship that will
entice you to worship other gods.
God is also warning you in particular to remove and
throw away those gods you kept in secret places which men do not know you are
worshipping.
Stars and other things in the skies are not made to be
worshipped by The Almighty Father and the Creator of universe. God commanded
you also never to worship gods of woods, silvers, gold and iron.
God
spoke to us through Moses and said. “And
the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye
might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
Take
ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on
the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
Lest
ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any
figure, the likeness of male or female,
The
likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl
that flieth in the air,
The
likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish
that is in the waters beneath the earth:
And
lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the
moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to
worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations
under the whole heaven. - Deuteronomy 4:14-19
God is angry with you as you are bowing down to them
and this is the source of those problems that refuses to go out of your life.
The Almighty Father does not want you to worship the gods of your land.
Some people do carry the gods of their lands in wooden
form to another country for worshipping purposes but The Almighty Father cannot
be carried in a wooden form because He is accessible from any place and any
condition you can call Him in truth and in Spirit wholeheartedly.
There is no good gods in seas and oceans. There is no
marine good gods that is capable to do what Almighty God cannot do for you.
He warned you never to bow down to any of them. Your
destiny is purely in the hand of The Almighty Father. None of your blessings
comes as a result of worshipping idols.
God is jealous and will not be happy if you are giving
the glories that are due to His Most Holy Name, Jehovah to other gods of
nations and other gods who have ears but cannot hear.
If you believe me today, and decide to drop those gods
you are serving and to come to The Almighty Jehovah through His Son, Jesus
Christ.
The
Bible warned, “As
many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To
him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches. The Revelation of Saint John 3:19-22.
Why not decide right now as you are reading this
message and give your entire life to your Creator so it shall be well with you,
your family and all your businesses?
Will you continue to serve the gods that demands for
the blood of your children for ritual purposes and sacrifices so as to bless
and protect you?
Will you serve the gods that takes away your fertility
in other to give you unrealistic financial blessings and fame?
Reason well before you go.
God is telling me that some group of people is trying
to initiate you into a cult, an occult group, a satanic system of worship.
Please beware and run away for your dear life so you
will not regret the final outcome of it.
There is nothing absolutely good in Satan. He is a liar
and father of all liars.
If you believe this message is for you in particular
and you wants to be saved before it is too late. Why not call my attention for
my direction to establish your faith in Jesus Christ?
Accept and Confess the name of Jesus Christ so He shall
come into your life and be your God as you have totally dropped all form of
other gods with sincere heart.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.- JOHN 14:6-7
Am available to assist you to develop your faith in God
and also to pray with you for instant divine solution to those problems that
has taken you far and wide without hope for solution.
“And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy
father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the
LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the
thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him,
he will cast thee off for ever. - I CHRONICLES 28:9.
