🎇SUBJECT:
"HOW WILLING ARE YOU TO ANSWER GOD'S REQUEST?"
📕TODAY'S TEXT:
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do (Acts 9:6).
🔑🔐KEY VERSE:
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 9:4.
💞CENTRAL TRUTH:
Going by the way we mount pressure on God to hearken to our prayers,it looks as though God doesn't have a request which He wants us to respond to.
🖊️MAIN DISCOURSE:
It has been confirmed that in a relationship the two parties benefit from each other.
Both parties respond to each other's needs and expectations.
From our text today, we saw how the lord Jesus encountered Saul of Tarsus on his way to unleash mehem on the church of Jesus Christ,but unfortunately to him he was stopped by the lord. Hearing the voice of the lord in brokenness he asked "What will you have me do for you?"
Is your life characterized with all the many things you want God to do for you?
What about what He (God) wants from you?
It's an act of selfishness to always want to receive from God without inquiring to know what He wants from you.
The truth is:God has His own requests,but the question is;Who will want to listen to Him in order to grant His passionate appeal and request?
Are you willing and ready to grant Jesus His request from you?
To live for Him alone and to serve Him in purity and righteousness.
🔥CALL TO SURRENDER:
"If you would like to give your life to Jesus, you can do so by saying this prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I come to you a sinner. I ask that You forgive my sins. I accept you into my heart as my Lord and personal saviour. Thank You for saving me, in Jesus' name - Amen."
🙏PRAYER:
Father, I receive grace to be able to respond to all your expectations from me in Jesus' name - Amen.
