RESISTING GOD? – Saturday September 23rd 2017
Memorise: Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? 1st Corinthians 10:22
10:21 Ye
cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be
partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
MESSAGE:
Colossians 1:16
tells us that all visible and invisible things were created by God and
for God.
You were created to make God happy by following His will, plan
and purpose for your life. However, when you take the path of
self-government and go contrary to the purpose for which you were
created, that is rebellion. Lucifer and several angels decided to walk
out of God’s original plan, and they became who we now refer to as Satan
and demons (Isaiah 14:12-16, Revelation 12:7-9).
Anyone who follows self-government today will also end up where the
devil and his demons are. The truth is, if you fail God, you fail
yourself. Therefore, pleasing God is the real path to true
self-fulfilment, lasting peace and joy. I tell you the truth, living on
earth without confronting to God’s original blueprint for your life
makes you waste that life. Without God, life is not worth living.
“No
man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that
he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
2nd Timothy 2:4
Key Point
Those who resist God are fighting a battle they can never win.
