The Power of Pleasing God
Sermon Notes
There will be times when God requires great obedience and trust. It may not seem like that big of a deal in the moment, but if you pass the test of obedience, the camels of blessing are coming your way.
Key Scriptures:
II Kings 5:10-27; II Kings 8:1-15; Luke 12:17-21: Matthew 6:33
Key Points:
- Humble yourself. Pride will keep you from experiencing the miraculous. But God cannot resist Himself from someone who humbles himself.
- Take holy ground with you. When you encounter the power of God, you will never want to kneel to another god again. Honor God with your obedience and take God’s presence with you in whatever you do.
- There is a time for everything. Sometimes, God will test you to see what’s in your heart. But remember that God will not withhold anything good from you if you walk upright. When you surrender everything to God, He will bless you more than you expected and restore everything you’ve lost.
- Don’t cling to what doesn’t matter. When you die, you won’t have any of your earthly possessions; someone else will. When you get to Heaven, the only thing that will matter is if you are rich toward God. God must be over your money, or money will be over your God. When God asks you for a seed, it is because He has a harvest in mind.
Final Thoughts:
The only thing that makes you rich toward God is what you do for others. So be rich in winning souls, helping the poor, and doing what’s right. Because when you please God with your actions, the blessing that comes is more than you could imagine.
