Christian World Ministry "..the churches of Christ salute you" Romans 16:16
We are now entering a season filled with celebration
and events and who can stop us for we deserve to be happy with our loved ones Am
I correct.?
1) What may seem to be like a normal celebration will
turn out to be an extravagant one where we spend more than what we have but we
should fill ourselves with God’s word instead.
2) Instead of filling ourselves with unnecessary intoxicating
drinks to temporarily ease our pain, isn’t it
better to fill ourselves instead with the Holy Spirit?
A. Be careful not to be drunk with wine or
spirit
Please open your Bibles on:
1. Ephesians 5:18
2. Luke 1:15
a) let us not fill our minds with the effects of alcoholic
beverages
b) let us give in to the
Holy Spirit who gives us wisdom and nourishment from God’s word.
B. A man guided by God is filled with the Holy Spirit
1. Luke
1:13-15
2. Matthew
3:14-17
a) Luke 1:13-15 we read about the birth of John the Baptist son of Zechariah
b) Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth cannot have a child but with the
grace of God is made possible.
c) John
will soon be a great instrument to God’s glory not because the angel says so
but because he will let God guide him towards the correct path and we must do
the same
C. God will reward us for our obedience
1. Exodus 31:3
2.
Acts 7:55
a)
Being filled with the Holy Spirit has its perks or benefits
b) The blessings we receive can be used to
help our family and friends
c) We must also use
our God-given gifts and talents to guide the lost back to God’s loving hands through Christ Jesus.
Summary (Conclusion)
God will surely supply us with our bodily sustenance but it is our
duty to fully comply and find ways to feed ourselves with His word for we know
that our Spirits needs its share of sustenance. Remember that wine or any
form of alcohol is a way for the Devil to work inside of us and it is our
responsibility to repel this by filling ourselves with the blessing of God
through the Holy Spirit.
