1 Corinthians 1:1
In this sermon, three points are raised pertaining to the would-be Christian Worker that are indispensable if one would work for Jesus Christ. #1. The nature of the Christian worker, #2. The call of the Christian worker and #3. The labour of the Christian worker. May you prayerfully consider each of these points and examine your life in the light of them.
Matthew 11:28-30
It is expected that more than 4 billion people from around the world will watch the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II live, smashing the record for the most-watched broadcast of all time. Now while there will be millions turning up in London to show their support, and billions tuning in across the world to watch it via broadcast, one thing is for sure, there won’t be anywhere near that number of people present inside Westminster Abbey! Attendance to the Abbey this Monday is by Royal invitation only! Now whilst this royal invite is restricted to a few thousand, the invitation that I want to draw to your attention this morning is unrestricted! It too is a Royal invitation, albeit not from the potentates of this world. The King who extends the Royal invitation before us this morning is unrivaled in majesty, unlimited in power and His reign knows no end of days. You say, what is the invitation? It is an invitation to come!! Who will take Him up on this invite?
Exodus 23:23-33
I’ll never forget the words of the late Vance Havner, that mighty prophet of a bygone era; though he hath since passed into glory, his witty words have been left unto us as gold and precious stones. He said this, “When the Lord's white sheep become dirty grey, all the black sheep feel more comfortable”. We are living in a day where sin is tolerated in the personal lives of God’s people and excused from the pulpit in every quarter.
Are you tolerating things in your life that you know you shouldn’t? Sins which God has shone light upon and yet you won’t put them out of your lives!! Have you let the Canaanites live in the land — the Hivite, and the Hittite, when the clear command of God was to destroy them!?
2 Timothy 2:20-21
As one looks within the Body of Christ today at large, no matter which direction one casts their sight to look, one thing very readily becomes apparent, namely this, want of vessels for the service of the King! Where are the vessels of honour? Where are the vessels of use? It’s not any vessel that is of use to God but, “...a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use”. Even the very standards of the world would allow for the same. What diplomat sitting at the table of royalty, has food served to them on paper plates? Why the best bone china is kept in reserve for such an occasion! Which guest attending a state banquet, is served wine in plastic beakers? Rather, the best glassware is brought out for such regal events.
Are you one such vessel of use? A vessel unto honour, meet for the Master’s use? May the Lord minister to your heart and prepare you as such for His glory!
