WORTH THE WAIT

  WORTH THE WAIT Bible Passage: Genesis 12: 1-5 ; 15:1-4 INTRODUCTION : Being in a situation of a single person like me, there are many worries and burdens come to your mind. I'm just glad that I can handle emotional struggles by reading God's Words.  Not just single persons but all of us have problems & struggles need to deal with. Like Abraham, he was already 75 years old and needed to deal with future plans. LESSON POINTS: 1. When things so impossible for you,TRUST  GOD In Genesis 15:2, Abraham point out that      He's childless when he was talking to God.      He would become a great nation but how        it would happen he had no heir. Only his      servant Eliezzer would be an heir. But God promised that Eliezzer would not be his        heir.  Like Abraham, when talking about future, we also have struggles like when we get older who would take care of us, do we have money d...

YOUR STATUS (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)

  Picture in Ohio River YOUR STATUS 1 Corinthians 1:26-31   Introduction : Having no connection with the Lord is the saddest situation you have in this world. You will have emptiness and no direction in this life. People always say that you own your life and it is you who directs it but let’s remember that humanity has the ultimate Creator who knows us better than ourselves. He knows what’s the best for us and He has purpose why He created you.   Lesson Points I learned : 1.       1.  Think of what you were before you were called (I Cor. 1:26) I remember the time before I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ in my heart; my life is full of sadness. I had a personality problem that time: I always stayed in my room especially when there were visitors in our house. I had a low self-esteem; I felt not accepted and I felt I was the ugliest in the family. So when somebody told me that SOMEONE loves me the most and shared the GOOD NEWS, I didn’t he...

THE OPPORTUNITY (JOHN 9:4)

  JOHN 9:4 / Colossians 4:2-6 Lesson prepared by: Krisha of Solomon Wisdom FB page   MEMORY VERSE : JOHN 9:4 “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”   (KJV)   INTRODUCTION: When you travel in different country the first thing you’ll see, apart from the good views, is the culture. For example, in America where I’d been: you won’t see them “make mano” to elders, the elders usually go to facilities when they’re too old to take care of themselves but we cannot judge them because that’s the way they are raised. If you talk to them and see how the system goes, you will truly understand them. People there are too busy and you seldom see people walking on the streets especially in county and also most of them have cars to use. Why I say this? I say this because in different places around the world, there are different opportunities we can see. The opportunity we have in the Philippines is no...

DOING GOD'S WORK IN GOD'S WAY

  picture taken from google TITLE : Doing God’s Work in God’s Way BIBLE PASSAGE : Zechariah 4:1-6 INTRODUCTION : Why is it so often we hear about men and women who are in the ministry, serving the Lord, doing the Lord’s work falling by the way side? Sometimes because of moral problems, they just get disgusted, disillusioned and discouraged in the work of the Lord. How can a person serving the Living God become so discouraged that they would be willing to walk away from the very calling God has given them? Well, there may be many reasons but the primary reason probably is that we do the work in the wrong way. That is, we are not doing the God’s work in God’s way. LESSON BACKGROUND : That those Israelites who have been in Babylonian captivity for seventy years have now, under Cyrus, been allowed to return to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel to rebuild the temple. And so, they have gone back now, some fifty thousand of them. And they laid the foundation of the te...
