TOPIC: *GOD CAN USE YOU*
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11.
*MESSAGE*
Have you ever noticed that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things? Indeed. All throughout Scripture we see tax collectors, fishermen, and physicians turned into gospel-preaching, truth-sharing world changers. How is this possible? Because the lives of these people have been empowered by the truth of Jesus.
No matter who you are, where you've been, or what you've done, the love of Jesus will drastically change your life. Not just a minor tweak of your self-worth and temporary fulfilment, but a heart changing, life-altering experience that you can't find anywhere else. In Ezekiel 36:26, God describes this change: "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the Stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."
The gospel of Jesus is not a textbook, but a life-book. It is filled with the innate wisdom, guidance, and beauty of a man who died for our sins so that we may live again. When we value something through the eyes of God, we're able to see the extraordinary in something the world would call ordinary. While our world tries to silence a truth that speaks volumes, our God continues to use ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He wants to use even you!
*ACTION POINT*
? Say to yourself "I am a child of God. I am NOT ordinary. I am extraordinary, and I serve an extraordinary God."
*SCRIPTURES*
Ezekiel 36:26; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 John 4:17.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Lord Jesus, thank You for saving me;
2. Lord Jesus, let this extraordinary transformation occur in my life in the name of Jesus;
3. Give me the grace to do exploits on Earth in the name of Jesus.
*THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR*
Genesis 31; Job 42; Matthew 17:14-18.14
