5TH January 2018 / 7:00pm - 9:00pm
SPEAKER: Tomiwa Oluyen
TOPIC: Respect Yourself
BIBLE TEXT-: 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 4 - 8
For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”
and
“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
Regardless of how many countries you decide to enter around the world, your appearance might change, your language might change and in fact your feeding could change but one thing remains valid which is your traveling passport
You can’t enter any country in the world today without a means of identity which is your personal travel passport.
That bears all your basic post details.
Primarily the purpose of that travel passport is to tell the country you represent or the country you Stand for.
It is beyond your identity, it tells your belief and your allegiance
It will be very disastrous to behold a uk passport in your hand and stand before a United States of America immigration officer confessing to him that you’re a German citizen but you don’t have a German passport
You have simply placed yourself on the trouble spot
What do I mean? You can’t behold a particular passport in your hand and you’re declaring another nationality
Look, I am setting a stone
That stone there means Jesus Christ
I Have placed in your hand the man Jesus , a cornerstone
An identity that whoever trusts in him as a foundation will never have the cause to regret it
It is painful that many times , we find a whole of God’s children carried away with the activities of life and so called flashing colors of life and they choose to deny their real identity
For the sake of that breast that appears so sweet to your eyes , many have lost the beauty of their destines
For the sake of that #50,000 corrupt gain in that dirty business, many have denied there positions and place in christ
1 TIMOTHY 6 VERSE 6
But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment
Contentment which comes from the sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God
For the love of sex before marriage , many have denied there place in christ and they have lost it
For the love of quick money, many destinies have taken the wrong turn
The same gift God deposited on your inside for his glory has been converted to promote the revenue of the kingdom of darkness
Oh what a wasteful resources
It is fact in the scripture that some leaves will be preserved and some will be thrown into fire
Sometime that fire is earthly shame, it is sickness, it is pain, it is lack
You can’t keep carrying the passport of Zion and you’re denying Zion at every immigration point of your life
Yes it is fact that God has spoken into your spirit a whole lot of things that will happen for good as related to you for this year
But another fact be said, you can forfeit those great rewards if you keep standing in the assembly of those who deny Jesus Christ
The opposite of glory is shame
See
I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame
In others words, See I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone and the one who doesn’t trust in him will be put to shame
In this year 2018, let the truth be same
Enough of playing games with God
God can’t be ragged down the mud
It is too dangerous to your destiny to make an attempt to disgrace God with your lifestyle
You can’t afford to be double minded this year 2018
It will cost you many blessings
It will even affect many destinies attached to you
JAMES 1 VERSE 6 - 8
A double minded fellow is unstable In all they do
It is a fact that an unstable glass cup will surely fall and break
Many experiences break down in their lives because they have over worked the engine of their life by driving the car of their destiny on all sorts of dirty bad roads
I cannot call on his name and end up in shame
Not with that same mouth you used to bring another man down with lies and condemnation
I cannot worship you and end up in shame
Not after worshiping other gods
For our God is a jealous God
You cannot serve God and place another god by the side
Some of you have placed certain figures in your life as god
Some folks worship their brain and achievements over God
Some worship worldly things over God
In year 2018, you need to set the players right on the pitch
In year 2018, you need to set the cards right with Christ
It is too costly to play games with your faith this year
It is too costly to promote worldly things over kingdom things this year
Never place your cornerstone with other stones
Never cage your Jesus and promote self
In this year 2018, it should be for you to stand up right with Jesus in every place you find yourself
It is too dangerous to deny Jesus in this year 2018
Listen, for I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
Let me help you break it down
For I am not ashamed of the identity and the goodness of Jesus, for it is the link to my many blessings and inheritance because I believe
Don’t you know that salvation is an inheritance
ACT 26 VERSE 18
Don’t you know that the power of God is the link to making something happen
1 CORINTHIANS 6 VERSE 14
Three basic things I want to implore you to do this year 2018
1. Embrace Jesus more this year
2. Honor Jesus more this year
3. Promote Jesus more this year
What do I mean by embracing Jesus? You tend to only embrace someone you love.
Love Jesus more this year and the best way to prove that you love him is by acknowledging his words and keeping them
1 JOHN 4 VERSE 20
JOHN 13 VERSE 34
1 PETER 4 VERSE 8
Your proof of love is extended to giving
Your proof of love is extended to charity
Your proof of love is extended to interceding for others
Your proof of love is extended to praying for those who are yet to be saved
Weep for the unsaved
Battle for their souls in the realm of the spirit
Don’t stay or feel satisfied over that unsaved in your family
Weep for him or her in the place of prayer
i weeped for my brother in the place of prayer
I weep for my uncle in the place of prayer
Each day I am amazed at the changes I have seen
I remember always praying for one of my friend to get saved and I knew it was going to happened. It took God to call his mom home to rest peacefully, then he realized that money could buy life. At that point of his life , he located Jesus right at his moms burial ceremony
Listen, something brought you to christ, pray that God takes hold of that person and bring him to the light
At the same time, listen you can extend love by even preaching
Some have not heard this word you know before
Deliver a soul into the kingdom today
Determine to be a soul winner this year
Your lifestyle can win souls for christ
Your social media posts can win a soul
Now, honoring Jesus this year is very important
In your giving , in your seed sowing
In your charity work
Let your hand be a blessing to the kingdom of God
Don’t feel satisfied when the kingdom of God is in need of something that you can provide
Now promote Jesus than ever before
Let your world see Jesus in you
Let your family see Jesus in you
Let your spouse see Jesus in you
Let your boss see Jesus in you
Let your followers see Jesus in you
Listen and listen good
It is too dangerous to cage Jesus this year
it is too costly to promote self over Jesus
It is deadly to reject the cornerstone
Thank You Jesus…..
