Attempt to Build A Church For God

2 Timothy 2:19-21 reads: 

19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 

21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

 

In today's message, Reverend Kodwo Orleans- Lindsay teaches us to "Attempt to Build a Great House for God." With his guidance, you will learn how God's house is built with a variety of people, not just one type. Embracing diversity is what makes a great house for God. It's our differences that make us stronger! 

 

The foundation for a great house is love. By loving God's people, you show that you love Him, and He can only love you more in return.

Attempt To Preach and Teach

15 "So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

 

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

 

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep."

[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Frugality: The Principles of Timely Valuation and Gathering of the Crumbs

Do you place value on all that God has given you? Valuation of the people, gifts, experiences and things God has given are indicators of how wise or frugal you are with resources.

 

John 6:12-13 reads, “When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.”

 

Jesus did not let anything go to waste. He showed the disciples that there is value in the crumbs, in what appears to be little. When the crumbs were gathered, they were able to be multiplied.

 

Gather the crumbs in your life so that nothing is wasted. Be faithful with what appears little in your life so you can be ruler over much.
