TOPIC: LORD, RESET ME
Read 1 Peter 5:10
10. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
MEMORISE: But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you (1 Peter 5:10)
EXPOSITION
On a typical modern-day phone, there is a small reset button that, when pressed, restores the device to its original factory setting. Normally, this is necessary when there is a major software problem with the device. Resetting it would bring back the original glory of the device.
There are seasons and times in our lives when we get so far from God's original plan for our lives, because of being carried away by the pressures of life. We add onto our lives, assignments, relationships and tasks, in the same way we load apps onto our phones.
We complicate our lives with what God never intended to be in our lives - parties, TV shows, dates, etc., and these unfortunately choke out God and His programmes that should matter most to us (cf. Matt. 6:33). At such times, we feel unnecessarily burdened by life's situations. When life is overwhelming, complicated, burdensome and frustrating, we know it is time to press reset.
Let God restore you to your original place in Him. Let Him re-establish, resettle and reconfirm you. Let God reset you. Let Him occasion situation that would set you back on track. Stop drifting far away from Him. The farther you are away from Him, the more dangerous it is. The farther the sheep stray away from home, the more risky it becomes for it, most especially, at night.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Father God, my life seems to be drifting away from Your original plan; forgive me for adding projects, relationships and other things to my life that You never told me to add.
2. Lord, reset my life; bring me back to my original state and place in You. Reset my heart and breathe Your life into me, NOW.
3. Lord, help ministers of the gospel who are choking You out of their schedules with the series of programmes they organise and participate in, to the detriment of their own relationship with You.
