1 John 2:12-14

What man plants a sapling, who upon his return ten years later, does not expect to find a fruit-yielding tree?  Imagine the horror at discovering that the bendy sapling is no further on in its progression as in the day it was first planted.  If it is an apple tree or a pear tree, we’d expect that tree to have come to maturity, and the sign of its maturity would be the beautiful fruit hanging from every branch.  As it is in the natural, so it also ought to be in the spiritual!!  Tell me, is the maturing of your spiritual man in proportion to the length of years you’ve walked with the Lord?  It is the heart of our Lord to see His children go on to spiritual maturity, growing from little children to young men, to fathers. 

Let us prepare our hearts as to what we will do with what is said in this heart-searching sermon.

1 John 1:5-7

There’s something about light — its piercing rays of glory, its all-pervading brilliance, is no match for the darkened shadows cast by nature's night.  I find that for so many, though they name the name of Christ, they are content to live in the bluey shades of the twilight hours when Christ is calling them into the brightness of daylight.  Neither hot nor cold, neither wicked nor good — they’re content to pitch their tent in no man's land between the borders of heaven and hell.  As I look at the Bible, I don’t see any shades of grey, just life, and death, light, and darkness, day and night. If this is so, why then do we allow for shades of grey in our lives?  This is a call to walk in the light!!

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

The athlete on the field of games is not passive.  There’s no passivity about him — see him on the starting line, he’s not passive; he is thinking through the race before him, he’s focussed.  Everything about the life of an athlete is disciplined.  You name the sport, and I’ll show you an Olympian that’s under the rule of discipline.  What he eats, what he drinks, what time he lies down to sleep, what time he rises up again; the intense training schedule for the space of four years, in season and out of season. The Apostle Paul draws on this powerful and well-known imagery to make his point.  How run ye, O Christian?

2 Chronicles 26:1-5

When God brings His people from one season into another, they must give careful attention and purposeful thought as to how they intend to meet this new environment.  I’ve come to learn over the years that change for some, while it ought to have been the best thing to have ever come their way; proved at last to be their undoing!

A man can begin in the lowly shadows of obscurity, and behold as he rises through the ranks of success, he can find at last, he’s not the man he was at the first.  Success has gotten to his head; prosperity has clouded his vision, fogged his thinking, and corrupted his mind.  I find that a man needs to be on guard at all times, but none more so than in the midst of blessing.
