Service Notes
Pastor Earnest Teaching:
God
doesn’t want us weighed down by anything
Because
the bible says that God has raised us up and made us sit in heavenly places
with Him
So
nothing can make us sad or melancholic
No,
the joy of God always shows itself, radiates itself through us
So
when anything that would have been the cares of this life that would have
wanted to steal our joy from us, we align with the scriptures
Because
the scriptures say with joy will you fetch water out of the wells of salvation
It's
our month of joy
You
don’t only express joy in church, express it everywhere
At
the beginning of the year, everyone had an expectation of what they looked
forward to accomplishing at the end of the year
I’m
not sure there’s anyone here who didn’t have a dream of what the year should be
for him or her
We
have already gone through the first half of the year
And
you may look back and it seems as though you have not really gone as far as you
wanted to achieve
Maybe
some of you may have been able to do half of what you planned to achieve and now
the remaining half looks bleak
But
we should understand that we are a people that are never disadvantaged by
anything
The scriptures that we read today are
the outbreathings of God
So,
they help us to make a good study
Because
in studying the word of God, your knowledge is expanded or increased
The
purpose of God giving us the scriptures is so that we can have something to
study beyond the scientific explanations
The
scriptures help us know that there is a life beyond what man can discover
So
with the scriptures, you can have knowledge beyond what any person could have
It
is profitable for us
It
becomes exciting, and something you want to know because the more you know, the
more you want to know
As
a child of God, you ought to study the scriptures again and again
There
is nowhere in the scriptures that shows that God wants us to be stagnant in
life
The
path of the righteous is as a shining light that shines brighter and brighter
unto the perfect day
So,
God wants us to make progress consistently
God
wants us to have great dreams and accomplish them in life
God
wants us to have great desires and see our desires come to light
Mark
11:24
He
actually wants us to be desirous of things
Have
a strong desire
And
here He is not just talking about being wishful
We
are talking about having a compelling desire
Pursuit
is the proof of one’s desire
When
you have a desire for something you will always have the propensity to pursue
it
Prayer
is supposed to be a fellowship
It's
a time when you talk and are talked to
If
there is anything that makes us veer off, the word of God is able to bring us
back on track
When
you have a desire for any change in your life, the scriptures say that it is
possible
For
every one of us, we know that we are living a preordained life
God
does not want any of us to be in a hurry at the late of time
1
Samuel 1:1-12
Below
are 3 areas in which a strong desire is manifested
1. Prayer: in the place of prayer God directs us.
2. Pursuit: waking up every day and doing all that will take
you to the next level
3. Persistence: too many people give up easily. But when you
have a strong desire to accomplish something, you don’t give up
There are people around you that you can look at and remodel
your life. But it depends on how strong your desire is.
