Sermon - 23rd Sept - Pastor Kay

John 17:12-end

Thought 1 - We are not of the world, we are of God

Always remind yourself that you are not of this world. Jesus prayed that while still in the world, we ought to be victors over life. The life of the christian is a sample for the world to see. All those challenges that come your way are for your victory. For your promotion and your increase. christians have been called to be 

Thought 2 - Live by the word

The word of God is our cleanser. Now that we are in God, we must function by his word. Spend time with the word to see what it says about you

Thought 3 - We are sent just like God send Jesus

The christian is a person on a mission. The reason for remaining alive is because the christian has an assignment from God. no matter what the situation is, the christian cannot be shaken or fearful because he is on a mission and as such he can't be defeated or killed by sickness, disease or any such thing. Moses is an example. He was sent to Pharoah, the most important man of the day to tell him to release the isrealites and Pharoah had to comply.

Daily you go out to win. The devil can only bite his finger from afar about you. Knowing that you are a man on a mission is very important because he sets your direction and and gives you focus. We have been given the way out and we ought to show it to all people everywhere that their lives be transformed for the glory of God

Thought 4 - He wants our Joy to be full (Jn 17:13,15:11)

Religion does not teach this i.e. that God wants your joy to be full. Life is not meant to be up today and down tomorrow. The scripture teaches us that we always live the up life, the good life. When  you know this you'll be free from worry wrinkles, always smiling, careful for nothing, unworried about tomorrow because you have the assurance of God who knows tomorrow. This is the plan for you, the prayers of Jesus for us as Christians and because he died and rose again, the plan of salvation was successful so nothing can make your joy less than full

Thought 5 - The world needs to know that God loves you as much as he loves Jesus (Jn. 17:23)

Everyone needs to know that you are the apple of God's eye. Religion does not proclaim this.

Thought 6 - You are a carrier of God's glory(Jn 17:22)

Remember all the thoughts that were shared above and have a great week because that's the week that you have been called to have. Remember that you cannot be defeated, disappointed and that all things are working together for you. Where people are falling over, you will shine the light and show the way.
