Commitment 2008.b
Ezekiel 33:1-11NIV
Commitment: job, family, church, now lost world around you.
Ezekiel 33:1-11NIV
Commitment: job, family, church, now lost world around you.
This portion is broken into 3 parts:
1-6 Education
7-9 Rebuke or Rebuff
9-11 The Message
V1 in the NLT is “son of dust” James 4:14 “your life is but a vapor”
If we lose sight of how filthy our sins are, and how much JC suffered for us on the cross we will become cold, proud, and indifferent toward the HS inside of you.
Education: we have a debt. Salvation is free, We owe Christ for saving us from Hell.
He bought you back from the Devil with his own life.
We are called to work for Him by spreading the Gospel.
The Christian walk is not a free ride.
Matt. 28:18-20 NIV. Not a suguestion, it is a command.
If you love me keep my commandments, (John 14:15). (JC is testing us, do you love me?)
If you do not have a list of names of the lost around you, you flunked the test! It is time to wake up and re-evaluate your walk with the Lord. (professing vs posessing Christian)
A posessing Christian will reproduce and bring others into the Kingdom of God.
What is the function of the Gospel? to Dismantle man’s self righteousness.
What is the Gospel?
1. Man is ruined by sin
2. Man is redeemed by Christ
3. Man is regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
V1-6 We are responsible to herald the Gospel Message to the lost.
We hold the cure to all the world’s problems, it is a heart issue, not a family or parental issue, not a DNA issue making some effemenate, or same sex attraction. Heart issue! It is rebellion against God, “I want my own way”!
Last days William Booth said:
No evidence of being born again (I am marked at work)
No centrality of the cross
Sacrifice and commitment would be down played (church attendance mid-week)
A casual approach to a sacred thing (a list of the lost ones around you)
Everything would be watered down so that Christianity would be acceptable
Only 2% of pastors are preaching on the Blood and resurrection,
Repent, the theme of Jesus last words in Revelation are repent.
You cant be saved unless you repent, you cant stay saved unless you repent daily! (I John 1:9-10) confess daily, say we have no sin in us, we make JC a liar! Written to church!
V7-9 Rebuke, wake up call from God:
We are responsible!
We have to love them, because there is no love in them.
II Kings 7:9a NIV (scrappy with good news)
Prov. 24:11-12 NIV (rescue those led, staggering toward slaughter)
Matt 10:32-36 NIV (deny me before men, no peace, division)
If you do not weep for the lost around you, you're probably in the danger zone of becoming a cold hearted watchman!
V10-11 The Message.
Wasting away: Aids, STD, cancer, pride how awful to die of these, when the cure is in your mouth!
The Word of God, spoken out Rhema, Sword of the Spirit. Heb. 4:12-13 AMP
Jesus is Good News!
If you do not herald the news perhaps you too have grown cold in your walk.
Do not give up: seed, time, harvest! Continue to fertilize and water the seeds sewn.
YOU WILL REAP A HARVEST! Hallaujah!
Today is a new day, a fresh start to ask God once again to warm up your heart toward those who have been duped by the enemy.
The Puritans often said, “You must go thru Hell to get to Heaven”
Does that reflect your testimony and your life?
IF not, lets REPENT now and start afresh!
Benediction
Jude 24 - Rev 1:1
24 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—
25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
