Offering msg: We need to boycott the recession!!! Its funny how believe in the law of gravity but yet do not believe in the law of sowing. Gotta believe that the more we give, God is going to pour down his blessings over our lives. "the wealth of the wicked shall be transferred to the righteous", so right now there are currently people who are working for us!!!! They are thinking that they are amassing wealth for themselves, yet only to discover a change of events will allow us to reap the fruits of their labour...wow!!!Sermon:
Joel 3:9-10
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
“ Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears;
Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”
Been so encouraged after listening to the Men's conference. The church have been so used to being the bride, that the men seems to feel emasculated when they go to church. Imagine a man's head(Christ) with a female body(us, Christians), lol!!! Thats why, Pst Phil says that the worship songs in his church have more "hair"(that means more masculine), lol. David was able to synthesis worship with giant killing. Goliath brought out the giant-slayer in David. No Goliath, no giant killing by David. Problems are to awaken the men in us. Statistics have shown that most suicides in Australia are by men. If only they would have overcame their problems and awaken the men in them.
Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, but he used the word of God as His sword. really need to go on the offensive. Pst Phil talked about how the spirit of condemnation/guilt attacks him. One time, he locked the windows and doors of his room, and started screaming/shouting against the devil, holding on to God's word...hell really trembled and shook on that day.
Sometimes we believe what the newspapers about the church say rather than standing by the church pastors. People have no problems standing up for Jesus, but yet have problems standing up for the man God chooses.
The problem most men face is loneliness. Got to be more accountable to another man. We are really stronger together. Sometimes we find ourselves in the pit, like David, facing a giant (the lion), got to slay the giant and be a problem-solver.
