Ask God What not why!

Bible is to transform us not to inform us 

Knowledge make us feel important but love strengthen the church 

Read and do what it say.

Exodus 3:15

Exodus 3:15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.

Why God is a generational God

Ps 145:11-13

Psalm 145:11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,

145:12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.

1 Chronicle 28:1-3

1 Chronicles 28:1 David summoned all the officials of Israel to assemble at Jerusalem: the officers over the tribes, the commanders of the divisions in the service of the king, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, together with the palace officials, the warriors and all the brave fighting men.

28:2 King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my fellow Israelites, my people. I had it in my heart to build a house as a place of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, for the footstool of our God, and I made plans to build it.

28:3 But God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood.’

STRONG CHURCH; STRONG GENERATIONS 

How to build? 

🩷1.Build with clean hands n a pure heart

( Psalm 24:3-6)

Psalm 24:3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?

24:4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.

24:5 They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior.

🩷2. Build together - the key is not so much “ unity” but “ ONE-NESS”

In the early church- all the believers were ONE In heart n mind ( Acts 4:32) Acts 4:32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.

🩷3. Build to last

🩷4.Build with whole hearted commitment .- your commitment must be stronger than your emotions.

 12/11/23 Trial and terror. Acts CHP 21-26

Gist: Gospel preach when open door,(opportunist) rely on Holy spirit what to deliver. There’s be opposition, Holy spirit on trial not u, walk with the Him, Holy spirit. Take courage. Remember to walk with God, knows his heart, his faithfulness.

1) Stuff happens

2) Paul goes to trial 5x

3) Trial gets adjourned

************************** 

Teaching — Opposition 

Trouble — Overture 

Trial — Opportunity (Paul

Always look out for opportunity)

If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you ... 20Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. John 15

Speak the truth in love (soak in love)

Christian Don’t be “annoying but ANOINTING”

************************** 

How far would you go to be Christlike?

I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.”

JOHN 16

 1“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.” THEY DONT KNOW GOD, HIS HEART. Vengeance belongs to God. QUES: Do u know the FATHER’S HEART ??

THE CHRISTIAN VERSION OF ‘KILLING IN THE NAME OF GOD’ 

(KILL=DIE TO SELF)

34“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.”

MARK 8

**************************

 Opportunity for what? (GOSPEL! WE R GIVEN Holy spirit 

• Testify about Jesus Christ, crucified, resurrected, Israel’s messiah and Saviour of the world

• Be sent as far as possible (Rome)so that this gospel can reach farther

************************* 

11And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, 12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”

LUKE 12

Sadducee older establishment, temple worship, x resurrection 

Pharisee younger, holiness 

**************************

DEPEND ON SITUATION  FOF GOSPEL

Sensitivity to the nudging of the holy spirit 

Rely on the power of the Holy spirit 

26“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.

Who is on trial here?

    WHO IS ON TRIAL, ITS ACTUALLY THE Holy spirit ON TRIAL

 Why is Paul so opportunistic?

DRIVEN BY PURPOSE

**************************

Take courage 

In him, there’s peace!

World wants us to take side. 

Take side of self control faithfulness etc

Take difference side, to love ❤️
