we welcome you. I should to do just one thing tonight,
if you go ahead and hit those shell buttons and
tag others, invite them to this platform tonight, that they
(04:47):
too might hear this word from the Lord and be blessed.
There is always a word from the Lord tonight by
permission of the Holy Spirit. We are going to be.
He's studying from First Peter chapter four, verses ten through fourteen.
(05:08):
That is First Peter chapter four, beginning at verse ten
and ending at verse fourteen, and of course throughout the
Bible discussion we will be bringing in others supportive passages
as well. But that's our foundational scriptures for tonight. So
(05:29):
beginning at verse ten of First Peter chapter four, you
will find these words, as every man hath received the gifts,
even so minister the same one to another, as gus
stewards of the matter fold the grace of God. If
(05:53):
any may speak, let him speak as an article of God,
and minister, let him do it as of the ability
which God giveth, that God in all things may be
glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praised and dominion
(06:19):
forever and ever a man. Verse twelve. Beloved, think it
not strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you,
as though some strange thing happen unto you. But rejoice
(06:41):
inasmuch as ye are partakers of christis sufferings. That's when
His glory shall be revealed. Ye may be glad also
with exceeding joy, and verse fourteen. If ye be reproached
(07:01):
for the name of Christ, happy are you, For the
spirit of Glory and of God restive upon you. On
their part he is even spoken of. But on your
part he is glory fide reprimission of the Holy Spirit.
(07:26):
Tonight our topic for discussion is finish the assignment. Finish
the assign meant Tonight we need to understand that God
has given each of us great gifts, and we all
(07:52):
have been assigned to rise and use them. Is servitude
first of all to one another. And we are to
use them unto God as being good as stewards. Now
(08:13):
these gifts, already said gifts, we can also say as finements,
are for the gifting of and in increasing hope, and
for the faith in the lives of our sisters and brothers.
So the gifts and the assignment that the Lord give us,
(08:36):
they are not for us. There are for others that
we can help others come out of darkness and be
brought into the maves of life and into the knowledge
of who Jesus Christ is, especially for the unceaved. If
(08:57):
we would be honest with our selves and see this
should keep us humble, so that we would be like Paul,
so that we won't get besides ourselves and began to boot,
because God has given us the great gift and allowed
us to be on assignment for him. You know, Paul
(09:18):
knew that the Lord assigned a demanding angel unto him
to keep him ground dead, so he wouldn't get beside
himself because of all of the great gifts that God
had given unto him, But he knew that they were
not for him, but they were for the gifting of
(09:39):
the people, that they might grow and come to know
who Jesus Christ was. But if we would be honest
with ourselves, we would agree that we are somewhat addicted
to the thought of esteeming our selves above others. If
(10:02):
not now, if we don't do it now, at one
time in our life, we did. Romans twelve and three
reminds us saying this for our say, through the grace
given unto me, to every man that is among you,
(10:25):
not to think of himself more highly than he ought
to think, but to think soberly a parting as God
has dealt to every man the measure of faith. So
what was Apostle Paul trying to tell us in that passage? Therefore,
(10:51):
we are first to finish the assignment of cleaning up
our own spirit to house our own life, remembering that
we too still sin and come short of the glory
(11:12):
of God. We should acknowledge that our old pride for
nature didn't just grow some feet and walk away. Because
we accept the Christ and because He instilled in us
(11:33):
some great gifts, but that old man is still there
and at any time, and we don't pay attention and
walk close with God and keep depending on the holiest spirit,
we will continue to inset our view of our self
(11:57):
and others in respect to grace gifts, and we'll think
that we are operating in our own knowledge and in
our own power, forgetting that the old man is still
in us, waiting to rise up, and we'll go backwards
(12:18):
instead of going forward. Man, we need to understand that
these grace gifts are not of ourself just because now
we are saved, but they're on It can come from
God and He gives the gifts to whoever he chooses
(12:40):
to do. So, we will accept that none of us, nobody,
no matter who we are, no matter how saved, sanctified
and full of ordergoes we are. We will accept the
fact that none of us deserve these gift things, and
(13:04):
none of us deserve these assinements. And that we shure
implore those instead of heading those that resenting those that
God has extended his loving mercy to concerning his Greece.
(13:27):
If we are to finish the affinement that the Lord
have entrusted to us, if we're gonna finish our individual assignment,
because we can't do anybody else for finemnut, we have
our own assignment. And if we are gonna finish our
(13:48):
own assinnment, we are to first forgive. We are to love,
We are to show supports, not begrudge others. We are
not to hate, and we are not to stand in
(14:09):
condemnation of the people just because they have not been
yet given and a sign meant maybe Gods have not
gotten them to a place in him yet that he
is ready to grace them with gifts. But that does
(14:31):
not mean not yet, that does not mean he is
not going to use them. So that's why he does
not have a right, a privileged nor the authority to
point fingers at anyone, nor judge and condemn them. For
(14:52):
the Lord say I am the Lord, thy God, and
I will use whomever I please. So at our very best.
We need to look inside our own spiritual house, keep
our eyes focused on our self, make sure we keep
(15:14):
our own house clean, and walk into assignment and do
that with the Lord have assigned us to do so.
In order to finish our assignment, we must humble ourselves
(15:34):
before God and allow the Holy Spirit to expose every
sin that so easily cause us to remain in bondished
because it's so easy to step back. It's know, you
can blank your eyes and before you know it, we
(15:57):
could have fallen back into sin just that quick. So
we have to humble ourselves in the sight of God,
and only the Holy Spirit can expose those things, those
lust of the flesh that still easily cause us to
(16:19):
remain in bondage, and those sin now become a wall
of separation between us and God. And if we become
separated from the Lord, there is no way that we
can walk in our assignment and be effective, because now
(16:44):
the sin have brought us back into bondage and divided
us from God. And now we are separated and we
can't no longer even here from the Lord. Know that
it is God's desire, it is his desire for his people.
(17:09):
You and I to bless others our gifting, our assignment
is not for our self, and we need to understand
that tonight. Our blessing is not for us. God blesses
us to be a blessing to others. That's why we
(17:35):
cannot be selfish and call ourself on assignment for God. No, no, no,
God don't work that way. We are on assignment for him.
So it's his desire for us to bless others as
(17:57):
He sanctified though that are operating in their grace gifts
that our own assignment for him. Because when we bless others,
he is gonna take care of those that walking in
their assignment. We are not gonna elect for anything. When
(18:23):
we're own assignment and we are taking care of matters
that God hath charged us to do, he will take
care of us as we take care of others. His
power exposes whatever sin is residing in his children. So
(18:48):
now why we'll heal out the hooded ghost power to
expose any sin that is residing in those that is
on us? Signed Well, there is an answer show that
they can walk in the light without hearts of deception.
(19:12):
I cannot be effective in operating in my great gifts
and help somebody else. When I'm walking and living in
sin my self, I cannot be effective for God on
my assignment if I am full of sin myself, because
(19:38):
why my sin nature have me captivated in bondage. I'm
a captive myself, So how can I impart anything, especially
to those who are unsaved that might want to change,
that is looking for something different. But I said, I
(20:00):
have an assignment today working for the Lord to set
the captain free. When I am the captive myself, I
need to first be set free from my self. So
we are always our first assignment to make sure we
are setting ourself free from sin, so that we can
(20:25):
walk in the light of God and be that light
for others. That's our assignment to walk in the light
of the Word of God. And people will see that
light in us and they will want that. They will
want to change, they will want to be transformed to
(20:46):
I don't know if people may have ever said it
to you, but I can see the light of God
all in your eyes. I can see the light of
God all over you. I desire that. They're not saying
I want to be like you. They're saying I want
that Jesus that I see in you. So they're sinking Christ.
(21:09):
So that is why we gotta first be that. We
gotta be our first assignment. Clean our own life up
so we can show that we are living for Christ,
that people can see Christ in our life. Because I
can't help nobody when I can't first help myself. The
(21:31):
Holy Spirit exposes our pride, which is sin. That's a poet.
I are always gonna compare our self for other people
always want to compare. We gotta compare. Compareis and spirit.
We got to compare to our self. Whatever your assignment is,
(21:54):
that's the great gift that God gave to you forever,
Minister Jail, that reason assignment is, that's the grace gifting
that God gave unto him. And whatever my husband's grace
gifting is, that's the gift and the assignment God gave
to him. We have got to stop wanting to be
(22:16):
on assignment that the Lord has assigned to somebody else.
And sometimes that's why we cannot be effective in the
assignment that we have because we want somebody else's assignment.
You can't do my assignment, I can't do yours because
(22:36):
that is not what the Lord charged for my life
for me to do. That's not what He gifted me
to do. And I declare until all of us on
this line, if we seek God's face for greater strength
and greater knowledge to walk in what he gave us
(22:58):
to do, we be more effective at doing what He's
say for us to do, and we'll be able to
finish our assignment. And we'll start comparing ourselves to the people.
And guess what, and we do that, the Holy Spirit
will help us promote, you know, that which God wants.
(23:20):
And then that sense for that pride in us will
not promote a superior attitude towards those that's less torture me.
That's what pride does. It cause us to lift ourself
up in and we develop a superior attitude to other people.
(23:41):
So we can't have no superior attitude towards nobody, not
where we are own assignment for the Lord, or that
pride will cause us to hold resentments or we'll feel
in seria towards God those who God less with the
things that we desire. Right, Because Lord, I'm upset with
(24:04):
you because I would rather have that assignment than the
assignment that you gave me. Now that that just don't
make good sense. Because God knows me better than I
know myself. So here is going to give me the
assignment that he knows that I am capable of operating in.
(24:27):
So he endows each of us, and he graces each
of us with the gift things that he knows that
we are most capable of operating in. Our assignment is
to glorify God, not our self. I don't care how
(24:47):
many people clap their hands for us. I don't care
how many tells us all you do a wonderful job.
I don't care how many lift us up and you know,
and how many show up for our program. And because
we are the speaker, I don't care how many Oh
you just oh, I just so much enjoy you know
(25:08):
those those words. I just come to every word that
you say. Ain't about none of that, because our assignment
is to glorious bide Gone, not to take credit for ourself,
because it's not our assignment. It's the Lord's assignment. It's
the Lord's gift thing that he have entrusted to us,
(25:32):
and we can't take no credit for it. Our gifts
does not belong to us. Our gifts belongs to Gone
and it's to glorify Him by repenting up our pride.
That's why we got to constantly when we fill ourself,
(25:54):
we got to constantly refense o our pride. Lord, don't
let me become pride for it. Because people are clapping
for me, they're ap flouding for me, they'll pat me
on the back, they're telling me what a wonderful job
I've done. Now, there's nothing wrong with that. There is
nothing wrong with that. But don't be clapped and applauded
into a place of pride that we forget that God
(26:18):
deserves the glory. We don't need to take the glory
ourself right because whatever we are doing is on assignment,
and every applause we owe that to God and not
to ourself. And we need to armor ourself until God
decidns to elevate us. I don't care how many handclaps
(26:41):
we get it. We shouldn't get so pride but that
we feel that we're being elevated because mainkind is applauding
us our assignment. Don't throw us on a platform of
applause in God safe for us to take any glory
for what the Lord has done. We have to remember
(27:03):
we are getting an applaud because of God's assignment. As Lord,
I give you all the glory every handclap I have received,
I give it to you Lord, for every pad on
the back, for the real jab may say I've done, Lord,
I give it unto you because because of You that
(27:23):
they are applauding for me. First, Peter five, Chapter Fibry,
Verse six says this, humble yourselves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.
I don't care how much clapping and applauding, or whatever
(27:47):
a good wishes may might do. It cannot elevate us
into anything, because the assignment and the great gifting cannot
come from man, comes from God. Now, when we look
again at verse ten, it says, as every man has
to received the gift, you receive the gift. Nobody gave
(28:10):
it to you as man received the gift, as even
so minister the same one to another as good stewards
of the manifold grace of God. It didn't come from man.
We didn't purchase the gift out of no stud It
(28:32):
came from God. And again Peter said in this verse
what was Peter saying? He said, each person has received
a gift us tall we say assignment, each one of
us got all of us do we should really pay
close attention to what this is speaking to each of us.
(28:58):
God needs us to know that our gift is sure
we are again assignment are not happened by happenstance, or
they are not coincidental, nor are they hereditary experiencis the
gifting that we have is not coming I said, Oh
(29:20):
I sang that I sing or because my mother had
a voice like behavior Jackson, or I played his guitar
like this because my father played the guitar. You know,
he used to play with a singing group. No, no, no, no, no.
What the gifting that we have is not hereditary is
because God shows to endow us with the great gift
(29:43):
thing that we have. He placed the assignment on each
and every one of us. And they may not it
may be this thing. They seem like they're the same,
but they they are truly different because He would operate
through each and every one of us in a different way.
(30:08):
He knew us while we were in our mother's womb.
He knew our ending from the beginning. He knew what
his plans were for our lives. So he intentionally gave
(30:29):
us the gifts. Already knew what assignments that he was
going to design specifically for us to complete, and he
provided in good measure what would be required to finish
(30:49):
our assignments. So he just didn't lay out something before
us and say not, now go do it. He strategically
designed our assignments and you already put everything in place
for us to get that assign meant done. Therefore, God
has in trusted these gifts unto us, you and I
(31:17):
and others who he has gifted with grace gifts and
sent out on assignments. He has entrusted us for the
sake of others that they might benefit to their fullest potential.
A gift thing is not for us. The assignments are
(31:39):
not for us. They are for others to help them
reach their full potential in life. But there's too many
that is so selfish they keep the grace gifting for
themselves so that they can benefit because they don't want
to help no body. And where we do that, you'll
(32:01):
notice that people that have grace gifts, they don't get
too many blessings because their group, their blessings are limited
because their gifts are not for themselves. God blesses us
to be a blessing. Just like he said I give
seed to the sword, he mean that He is not
gonna give too many seed the door that's gonna eat
(32:22):
the seed up because the seed are not for us.
The seed is to be sown, is to give away.
It's to sow into the life of others that need them.
Because as we sow the seed, he will give it back.
He will sew back to us. He will bless us
either by sixty or one hundred fold. That's what he does.
(32:42):
He will give back to us as we give unto others.
And that's what our assignment is. That's why He gives
us so that we can give it unto other people.
Our assignment are not for us. They're to help others
that don't no Christ. They don't know about the knowledge
(33:03):
of the Gospel. They don't understand the mechanism of how
to work the world of God. That is why we
have been gifted with these great gifts. We are own
assignments to imparty to the lives of other people to
help bring them into the full potential of who God
has created them to be. Our gifts us again. Our
(33:27):
assignments are not to be hear me now, they are
not to be displayed for platforms to receive a sense
of importance or significance according to the applause. I've already
(33:48):
said that to the applause of men, or to be
esteemed by them. Now again, God, don't have nob with
people clapping their hands for you or telling you that
you're doing a good job. You know, and there's nothing
wrong with your standing on a platform. But it's according
(34:10):
to how we see it. How do I received. I
have been on many platforms, I have stood on many stages.
I have stood behind many sacred deaths in the Holy
Spirit have brought the Word through me. But I had
sense enough to know that don't get the big head,
don't take the credit for none of it, and don't
(34:31):
stick my chest out as though I'm somebody so important
and that I'm so significant, and take the glory for
what belonged to God. I mean sure that every time
I stood on the stage, every time I was on
a platform, every time I stood behind that sacred podium,
I knew that I had to give that glory to God,
(34:52):
because it was because of him He said that your
gift will make room for you, because what you're doing,
you're not doing it for yourself. I'm working through you.
I'm using you the vessel to imparty to the lives
of the one that is hearing you. And I had
sense of nothing know that. But there's many who don't
see it that way. So God don't have no problem
(35:14):
with people clapping their hands, but with the people clap
their hands for you, who do you give the credit to?
Do you see credit for yourself and make yourself? Oh
I must be imparted. Look at all these people out
there in that order. They showed They showed up for me. No,
they showed up and here the word from the Lord.
They ain't come to hear nothing from you. They came
to hear a word from the Lord. And we have
(35:35):
to give God the credit for that. Why do I
hope somebody getting this tonight. The true significance of our
assignment comes from God. That's the significance about assignments. Because
if God did not give us a strength, if you
(35:55):
didn't put the words in our mouth, if you're in
the order, our depth, we couldn't do it. If he
would snatch his breath out of us, out of our lungs.
While we're doing these things, how could they be done?
So the true significance of our assignment has come from
(36:16):
God who has chosen us in Christ Jesus in trusting
us with specific grace tips and sending us out into
its kingdom for its purposes to finish the assignment. So
(36:40):
he trusts us well. If he gives us an assignment,
he has chosen us for that particular assignment. Why because
he believed that we're gonna do it, and we are
gonna glorify him in it, and we are going to
not take any credit, but we are going to give
all the glo glory back to Him and not take
(37:03):
in it for ourself. We're just gonna finish the assignment
that we were sent to do and say, God, get
the credit, and pray that you are pleased the Lord
with what I have done in your name right, because
you're not going into our name. We are going in
the name of Jesus Christ. And whatever we're doing, we're
(37:25):
doing for our Lord and our Savior. Didn't the Word
say that only what we do for Christ is going
to last. So nothing that we do for our self,
I don't care if we speak to millions, does not matter.
If we do it for our self, it's gonna fall
to the ground. God does not even see it as significant.
(37:47):
He does not even see it as anything of in
parties right because we did it and we took credit,
because man applauded for us, and we took credit for
it as though we were somebody significant. Note, when we're
on assignment of the Lord, God got to get credit
for everything that happened while we was on that assignment.
(38:09):
Give us finished the assignment, and give God the glory.
When we look at verse eleven again, it's says, if
any man speak, let him speak as the rifles of God.
If any man minister, let him do it as of
the ability which God give it. That God in all
(38:36):
things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be
praised and dominion forever and ever. Amen, just got do
saying some of that. If the God don't give us
the power of God, don't give us the breath, you know,
if the blood does not stay around with me in
our band, If God does not give us the knowledge,
(38:58):
He don't put into our minds what needs to be said,
it's not gonna happen. We will not be able to
do their sign, and so all the glory and the
honor has to go back to him. So, in other words,
those who speak as articles of God implies a message
(39:20):
that's given a message, implies a message that's purely seless
as many it comes from those Lord. It's not nothing
that's made up. It's not nothing that you are read
that somebody else did. Is a message that comes from God,
God speaking. You are speaking saying what thus says the
(39:42):
Lord is a less message is cure coming from the
heart is divine in which man has no part. That's
why we cannot take any credit for it. Because it's
not something you just snatched up out of the sky.
It's a word that the Lord laid on your heart,
(40:03):
and he say, speak this. I want the people to
hear this. Open your mouth and let me talk through you.
Let me speak to you, because this is what I
want the people to hear. Didn't say, if any man speak,
let him speak as the article of God. Let him
speak as though it's the Lord speaking through them. Mind
(40:23):
my mind, because we don't know the mind of God.
We don't know what God is gonna say. So when
we open our mouth and let him speak. We allow
him to use us as a death soul and let
him say whatever he wants to say. That's why the
Word is divining, and man has no part in that.
(40:43):
Now listen, Even Hiddens gave credence and respect to those
that they call God and Hell their messages as sacred.
They thought it was a sacred thing whatever they out
of God had to see. And they gave respect to
their out of Goths. So if that, if a Heathens
(41:04):
could hold respect and honor to their out of gads,
how much more should Christians obey the Bible, the word
of God that they hold to be the articles of
God hold to be the word of God. Wow, Heathens
gave many presents p R E S. E n t s.
(41:28):
Give many presents to their priests to get a word
that could be interpreted no matter the outcome, whether good
outcome for them or whether it was a bad outcome.
They paid the priests could get a word. But get this,
(41:49):
Christians have an infallible revelation in all the affairs of
their life. And guess what the The revelation of the
Word is free. And guess what it's called the Bible,
the words of God. You get it for free. Will
(42:12):
we give cretins to it? Will we acknowledge that it
is the word of God. He has sent those on
assignment to give us the word of God. We can
only tell them what the Lord says. We can't make
up nothing he says, don't add to it, don't take
away from it. We can only give what the Word
(42:33):
of God say. That is the assignment. Say what DoD
says the Lord. Ministers should not try to minister beyond
their own ability or imitate the ability of another. I
(42:54):
cannot be Jery. Jerry is a minister our vicious saying
that we cannot be. We cannot switch off and be
one of the others. We can only be who God
put us on assignment to be. That's all we can
do is the great gifting that Ye have gifted unto us.
(43:17):
And no true is going to do it the same wing.
That's how come we cannot. We need to start wishing
for other people's gifts because God have gifted accordingly as
ye see sin and we should not try to imitate.
Not going on the ability that the Lord has gifted
(43:40):
us on our assignments. Just finish the assignments. According to
the wisdom the knowledge and the power given unto you
through Christ Jesus. Verse well of it, think it not
(44:01):
strange concerning the fiery trial, rich is to try you
as those some strange things happen unto you. Now, everything
that Christian suffering, it is not Christian suffering. Is not
what the Bible is saying that Christians should be suffering
(44:22):
for now. Murder is murdering eyes, even doing being or
being a body crimes Christians. That those those are not
the kind of suffering that the Lord talked about, because
those are the things that deserves some type of resolution
(44:45):
for what Christians do, because that that's just sining, okay,
But there's some things that Christians actually suffer for that
and these are the things that they consist of. Persecution
by righteousness, fighting and being slendlessly attacked by others, being
(45:05):
falsely accused, being beaten for the sake of Christ, being
rejected by ned because of Christ Jesus, being hated by
the world because we loved Jesus, Hatred by religsdves. Isn't
that something where you got Religives in your own family
that hates you and don't want to be around you
(45:26):
because call you a Bible thumb, or because you love
the Lord and they haven't gotten there yet and they
hate to see you come in. And sometimes when they
have standing together, sometimes they won't even invite you because
they're not ready to hear. We don't want them there
at that family to gather. But all they want to
talk about is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. And that's something temptations
(45:47):
and self resistance, shame because of Christ's name, being put
in prison for serving Christ and doing tribulations, and being
stolen for the sake of servant Jesus Christ, being misunderstood
and and defination of character for no reason at all,
(46:08):
being made a spectacle by men to make fun of
you because you talk about the Lord and tell people
how much you love the Lord. But now remember now,
everybody is not there where we are, so we can't
take it personal. When people started demonstrating and exhibiting these
types of behavior of having to travail due to all
(46:31):
manner or evil persons and demonic works of man, people
do all kinds of things to us. When we love God,
now those are things of Christian actual Christian suffering. But
when we murder somebody that ain't no Christian suffering. You
hear what I'm saying, Or when we steal something or
when we do things blatantly, that's evil. And when we
being a business about the minded for other people business
(46:54):
or committed christ that's not No Christians suffer and that
just means we just out there sinning, And that ain't
no Christians sufferance, We just send him. Yet in all
of these trials, we must seek help from the Holy
Spirit for strength and endurance. To finish the assignment that
(47:15):
God has charged to each of us to do. We
must live and walk out our assignment on a daily basis.
As Apostle seed Peter see, I'm sorry. Apostle Paul said
he first to rent this chapter seventh, verse seventeen. But
(47:36):
as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord
has called everyone, so let him walk and sew or
dan I in all churches. That was Paul's saying. What
(47:57):
was what was that meaning? He said? Let each person
lead the life that the Lord has assigned to them
and work to finish that assignment, minding their own business
and leave other people business alone. Because according to another
(48:19):
pathtig the scripture, the apostle Paul said, the first Corinthians,
chapter seven and verse twenty two. That reminds us of this.
He said, for he that is called in the Lord
being a servant, he is the Lord's freemen free man. Likewise,
(48:42):
also he that is called being free his Christ servant.
We got to remember who we're working for. We are
not working for man. We are not on assignment for
our self. We are not on assign alignment from Maine.
Man cannot give us no great gifts. Man cannot give
(49:07):
us no gifts from God. The gift thing and the
assignments come from the Lord God Almighty. Again, Paul was
saying in this passage, the cause of God are stewards
of the great gifts your stewards or He's given us care,
(49:30):
He's given us oversight. We are overseers of the great gifts,
and they are to be imparted to others who are
in need of them. We are not to keep the
great gifts for ourself. We are to impart them into
the lives of others who are in need of them.
(49:52):
So this is why God gave them to us, not
what ourself, but they are for others. Therefore, we have
a responsibility to work while it is day as lift
up the name of Jesus to those that don't know him.
And ye, God will draw the unsaved unto him. We
(50:19):
just need to finish the assignment, because our gifts do
not belong to us. They belong to God. They are
to be used through us to be given to the
people Verse thirteen. But rejoice in as much we are
(50:41):
particles of Christis sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed,
he may be glad also with exceeding joy in finishing
their assignment. We can rejoice in the Lord because we
are participants in his sufferings, so that we may bring
(51:06):
glory to His name. We must remember that our lives
are not about pursuing our own dreams, which men are
self exalting fantasists, filled with pride and selfish gratitude. When
we ready examine each gold and dream closely and honestly. However,
(51:35):
on that God knows what is best for us, and
he knows exactly what he created us to do. He
even made provisions for the necessary qualifications and gifting it
would take to complete each assignment to the fullest potential.
(51:58):
And if we follow him destructions by faith, he will
lead us down a fulfilling path, even when through suffering
and death, in order that we might finish the assignment
given unto us. Our works will glorify Him, and He
(52:19):
will allow us to experience joy unspeakable as a reward
when we suffer with him. The only thing he wants
us to do is just finish the assignment. And verse fourteen,
(52:39):
if ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy
are ye, for the spirit of Glory and of God
restless upon you. On their part he is even spoken up.
But on your part he is glorified again. We will
(53:01):
suffer many things for the sake of Christ, and shall
be rewarded with exceeding joy as we enter into eternal
peace and everlasting life with Him. No matter how hard
the tests, trials and trivilations or afflictions of life become.
(53:24):
He promised to be our peace in the midst of
each storm, and that the prod of His glory will
rest upon us to comfort, guide and keep us. As
promised in Hebrew chapter thirteen and verse five, it says,
(53:47):
let your conversations be without covetousness, and be content with
such things as ye have, For he has said, I
will never leave thee Lord for sake thee or to
be kept by the Lord following assignment. Therefore, stay on
(54:08):
your assignment and be a good steward of your great
gifts for the sake of others. Aspire to become the
best and most fruitful steward that you can be for
God's juelry. Don't dishonor God by not seeking your assignment
(54:29):
as valuable to him. And do not waste valuable time
grumbling and complaining about your assignment because you resent the
gifts He has given to others that you desire more.
None of us are perfect, do re do serves a
(54:53):
perfect God that will assign them perfect people to do
earthly works. We all stumble and still seek to recover
from false but God alone knows how, and He will
graciously forgive us and still use us to bring glory
(55:15):
to His name when we are willing to humble ourselves
in his sight. Fir's Peter again five to six and
seven assures us of this. Some of yourself therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you
in due time, casting all your care upon him, for
(55:38):
he cares for you. So I close with this. Stay
on the right path use your grace gifts to help
others that are weak for lost in fins. Point the
way to Jesus Christ. Understand that none of us deserves
(55:58):
his goodness, yet He has chosen you for his service.
Now finish thee assignments. We thank God tonight for this word.

(04:23):

your most favorite Bible radio hosts, none other than Doctor V. Again,
we welcome you. I should to do just one thing tonight,
if you go ahead and hit those shell buttons and
tag others, invite them to this platform tonight, that they
(04:47):
too might hear this word from the Lord and be blessed.
There is always a word from the Lord tonight by
permission of the Holy Spirit. We are going to be.
He's studying from First Peter chapter four, verses ten through fourteen.
(05:08):
That is First Peter chapter four, beginning at verse ten
and ending at verse fourteen, and of course throughout the
Bible discussion we will be bringing in others supportive passages
as well. But that's our foundational scriptures for tonight. So
(05:29):
beginning at verse ten of First Peter chapter four, you
will find these words, as every man hath received the gifts,
even so minister the same one to another, as gus
stewards of the matter fold the grace of God. If
(05:53):
any may speak, let him speak as an article of God,
and minister, let him do it as of the ability
which God giveth, that God in all things may be
glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praised and dominion
(06:19):
forever and ever a man. Verse twelve. Beloved, think it
not strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you,
as though some strange thing happen unto you. But rejoice
(06:41):
inasmuch as ye are partakers of christis sufferings. That's when
His glory shall be revealed. Ye may be glad also
with exceeding joy, and verse fourteen. If ye be reproached
(07:01):
for the name of Christ, happy are you, For the
spirit of Glory and of God restive upon you. On
their part he is even spoken of. But on your
part he is glory fide reprimission of the Holy Spirit.
(07:26):
Tonight our topic for discussion is finish the assignment. Finish
the assign meant Tonight we need to understand that God
has given each of us great gifts, and we all
(07:52):
have been assigned to rise and use them. Is servitude
first of all to one another. And we are to
use them unto God as being good as stewards. Now
(08:13):
these gifts, already said gifts, we can also say as finements,
are for the gifting of and in increasing hope, and
for the faith in the lives of our sisters and brothers.
So the gifts and the assignment that the Lord give us,
(08:36):
they are not for us. There are for others that
we can help others come out of darkness and be
brought into the maves of life and into the knowledge
of who Jesus Christ is, especially for the unceaved. If
(08:57):
we would be honest with our selves and see this
should keep us humble, so that we would be like Paul,
so that we won't get besides ourselves and began to boot,
because God has given us the great gift and allowed
us to be on assignment for him. You know, Paul
(09:18):
knew that the Lord assigned a demanding angel unto him
to keep him ground dead, so he wouldn't get beside
himself because of all of the great gifts that God
had given unto him, But he knew that they were
not for him, but they were for the gifting of
(09:39):
the people, that they might grow and come to know
who Jesus Christ was. But if we would be honest
with ourselves, we would agree that we are somewhat addicted
to the thought of esteeming our selves above others. If
(10:02):
not now, if we don't do it now, at one
time in our life, we did. Romans twelve and three
reminds us saying this for our say, through the grace
given unto me, to every man that is among you,
(10:25):
not to think of himself more highly than he ought
to think, but to think soberly a parting as God
has dealt to every man the measure of faith. So
what was Apostle Paul trying to tell us in that passage? Therefore,
(10:51):
we are first to finish the assignment of cleaning up
our own spirit to house our own life, remembering that
we too still sin and come short of the glory
(11:12):
of God. We should acknowledge that our old pride for
nature didn't just grow some feet and walk away. Because
we accept the Christ and because He instilled in us
(11:33):
some great gifts, but that old man is still there
and at any time, and we don't pay attention and
walk close with God and keep depending on the holiest spirit,
we will continue to inset our view of our self
(11:57):
and others in respect to grace gifts, and we'll think
that we are operating in our own knowledge and in
our own power, forgetting that the old man is still
in us, waiting to rise up, and we'll go backwards
(12:18):
instead of going forward. Man, we need to understand that
these grace gifts are not of ourself just because now
we are saved, but they're on It can come from
God and He gives the gifts to whoever he chooses
(12:40):
to do. So, we will accept that none of us, nobody,
no matter who we are, no matter how saved, sanctified
and full of ordergoes we are. We will accept the
fact that none of us deserve these gift things, and
(13:04):
none of us deserve these assinements. And that we shure
implore those instead of heading those that resenting those that
God has extended his loving mercy to concerning his Greece.
(13:27):
If we are to finish the affinement that the Lord
have entrusted to us, if we're gonna finish our individual assignment,
because we can't do anybody else for finemnut, we have
our own assignment. And if we are gonna finish our
(13:48):
own assinnment, we are to first forgive. We are to love,
We are to show supports, not begrudge others. We are
not to hate, and we are not to stand in
(14:09):
condemnation of the people just because they have not been
yet given and a sign meant maybe Gods have not
gotten them to a place in him yet that he
is ready to grace them with gifts. But that does
(14:31):
not mean not yet, that does not mean he is
not going to use them. So that's why he does
not have a right, a privileged nor the authority to
point fingers at anyone, nor judge and condemn them. For
(14:52):
the Lord say I am the Lord, thy God, and
I will use whomever I please. So at our very best.
We need to look inside our own spiritual house, keep
our eyes focused on our self, make sure we keep
(15:14):
our own house clean, and walk into assignment and do
that with the Lord have assigned us to do so.
In order to finish our assignment, we must humble ourselves
(15:34):
before God and allow the Holy Spirit to expose every
sin that so easily cause us to remain in bondished
because it's so easy to step back. It's know, you
can blank your eyes and before you know it, we
(15:57):
could have fallen back into sin just that quick. So
we have to humble ourselves in the sight of God,
and only the Holy Spirit can expose those things, those
lust of the flesh that still easily cause us to
(16:19):
remain in bondage, and those sin now become a wall
of separation between us and God. And if we become
separated from the Lord, there is no way that we
can walk in our assignment and be effective, because now
(16:44):
the sin have brought us back into bondage and divided
us from God. And now we are separated and we
can't no longer even here from the Lord. Know that
it is God's desire, it is his desire for his people.
(17:09):
You and I to bless others our gifting, our assignment
is not for our self, and we need to understand
that tonight. Our blessing is not for us. God blesses
us to be a blessing to others. That's why we
(17:35):
cannot be selfish and call ourself on assignment for God. No, no, no,
God don't work that way. We are on assignment for him.
So it's his desire for us to bless others as
(17:57):
He sanctified though that are operating in their grace gifts
that our own assignment for him. Because when we bless others,
he is gonna take care of those that walking in
their assignment. We are not gonna elect for anything. When
(18:23):
we're own assignment and we are taking care of matters
that God hath charged us to do, he will take
care of us as we take care of others. His
power exposes whatever sin is residing in his children. So
(18:48):
now why we'll heal out the hooded ghost power to
expose any sin that is residing in those that is
on us? Signed Well, there is an answer show that
they can walk in the light without hearts of deception.
(19:12):
I cannot be effective in operating in my great gifts
and help somebody else. When I'm walking and living in
sin my self, I cannot be effective for God on
my assignment if I am full of sin myself, because
(19:38):
why my sin nature have me captivated in bondage. I'm
a captive myself, So how can I impart anything, especially
to those who are unsaved that might want to change,
that is looking for something different. But I said, I
(20:00):
have an assignment today working for the Lord to set
the captain free. When I am the captive myself, I
need to first be set free from my self. So
we are always our first assignment to make sure we
are setting ourself free from sin, so that we can
(20:25):
walk in the light of God and be that light
for others. That's our assignment to walk in the light
of the Word of God. And people will see that
light in us and they will want that. They will
want to change, they will want to be transformed to
(20:46):
I don't know if people may have ever said it
to you, but I can see the light of God
all in your eyes. I can see the light of
God all over you. I desire that. They're not saying
I want to be like you. They're saying I want
that Jesus that I see in you. So they're sinking Christ.
(21:09):
So that is why we gotta first be that. We
gotta be our first assignment. Clean our own life up
so we can show that we are living for Christ,
that people can see Christ in our life. Because I
can't help nobody when I can't first help myself. The
(21:31):
Holy Spirit exposes our pride, which is sin. That's a poet.
I are always gonna compare our self for other people
always want to compare. We gotta compare. Compareis and spirit.
We got to compare to our self. Whatever your assignment is,
(21:54):
that's the great gift that God gave to you forever,
Minister Jail, that reason assignment is, that's the grace gifting
that God gave unto him. And whatever my husband's grace
gifting is, that's the gift and the assignment God gave
to him. We have got to stop wanting to be
(22:16):
on assignment that the Lord has assigned to somebody else.
And sometimes that's why we cannot be effective in the
assignment that we have because we want somebody else's assignment.
You can't do my assignment, I can't do yours because
(22:36):
that is not what the Lord charged for my life
for me to do. That's not what He gifted me
to do. And I declare until all of us on
this line, if we seek God's face for greater strength
and greater knowledge to walk in what he gave us
(22:58):
to do, we be more effective at doing what He's
say for us to do, and we'll be able to
finish our assignment. And we'll start comparing ourselves to the people.
And guess what, and we do that, the Holy Spirit
will help us promote, you know, that which God wants.
(23:20):
And then that sense for that pride in us will
not promote a superior attitude towards those that's less torture me.
That's what pride does. It cause us to lift ourself
up in and we develop a superior attitude to other people.
(23:41):
So we can't have no superior attitude towards nobody, not
where we are own assignment for the Lord, or that
pride will cause us to hold resentments or we'll feel
in seria towards God those who God less with the
things that we desire. Right, Because Lord, I'm upset with
(24:04):
you because I would rather have that assignment than the
assignment that you gave me. Now that that just don't
make good sense. Because God knows me better than I
know myself. So here is going to give me the
assignment that he knows that I am capable of operating in.
(24:27):
So he endows each of us, and he graces each
of us with the gift things that he knows that
we are most capable of operating in. Our assignment is
to glorify God, not our self. I don't care how
(24:47):
many people clap their hands for us. I don't care
how many tells us all you do a wonderful job.
I don't care how many lift us up and you know,
and how many show up for our program. And because
we are the speaker, I don't care how many Oh
you just oh, I just so much enjoy you know
(25:08):
those those words. I just come to every word that
you say. Ain't about none of that, because our assignment
is to glorious bide Gone, not to take credit for ourself,
because it's not our assignment. It's the Lord's assignment. It's
the Lord's gift thing that he have entrusted to us,
(25:32):
and we can't take no credit for it. Our gifts
does not belong to us. Our gifts belongs to Gone
and it's to glorify Him by repenting up our pride.
That's why we got to constantly when we fill ourself,
(25:54):
we got to constantly refense o our pride. Lord, don't
let me become pride for it. Because people are clapping
for me, they're ap flouding for me, they'll pat me
on the back, they're telling me what a wonderful job
I've done. Now, there's nothing wrong with that. There is
nothing wrong with that. But don't be clapped and applauded
into a place of pride that we forget that God
(26:18):
deserves the glory. We don't need to take the glory
ourself right because whatever we are doing is on assignment,
and every applause we owe that to God and not
to ourself. And we need to armor ourself until God
decidns to elevate us. I don't care how many handclaps
(26:41):
we get it. We shouldn't get so pride but that
we feel that we're being elevated because mainkind is applauding
us our assignment. Don't throw us on a platform of
applause in God safe for us to take any glory
for what the Lord has done. We have to remember
(27:03):
we are getting an applaud because of God's assignment. As Lord,
I give you all the glory every handclap I have received,
I give it to you Lord, for every pad on
the back, for the real jab may say I've done, Lord,
I give it unto you because because of You that
(27:23):
they are applauding for me. First, Peter five, Chapter Fibry,
Verse six says this, humble yourselves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.
I don't care how much clapping and applauding, or whatever
(27:47):
a good wishes may might do. It cannot elevate us
into anything, because the assignment and the great gifting cannot
come from man, comes from God. Now, when we look
again at verse ten, it says, as every man has
to received the gift, you receive the gift. Nobody gave
(28:10):
it to you as man received the gift, as even
so minister the same one to another as good stewards
of the manifold grace of God. It didn't come from man.
We didn't purchase the gift out of no stud It
(28:32):
came from God. And again Peter said in this verse
what was Peter saying? He said, each person has received
a gift us tall we say assignment, each one of
us got all of us do we should really pay
close attention to what this is speaking to each of us.
(28:58):
God needs us to know that our gift is sure
we are again assignment are not happened by happenstance, or
they are not coincidental, nor are they hereditary experiencis the
gifting that we have is not coming I said, Oh
(29:20):
I sang that I sing or because my mother had
a voice like behavior Jackson, or I played his guitar
like this because my father played the guitar. You know,
he used to play with a singing group. No, no, no, no, no.
What the gifting that we have is not hereditary is
because God shows to endow us with the great gift
(29:43):
thing that we have. He placed the assignment on each
and every one of us. And they may not it
may be this thing. They seem like they're the same,
but they they are truly different because He would operate
through each and every one of us in a different way.
(30:08):
He knew us while we were in our mother's womb.
He knew our ending from the beginning. He knew what
his plans were for our lives. So he intentionally gave
(30:29):
us the gifts. Already knew what assignments that he was
going to design specifically for us to complete, and he
provided in good measure what would be required to finish
(30:49):
our assignments. So he just didn't lay out something before
us and say not, now go do it. He strategically
designed our assignments and you already put everything in place
for us to get that assign meant done. Therefore, God
has in trusted these gifts unto us, you and I
(31:17):
and others who he has gifted with grace gifts and
sent out on assignments. He has entrusted us for the
sake of others that they might benefit to their fullest potential.
A gift thing is not for us. The assignments are
(31:39):
not for us. They are for others to help them
reach their full potential in life. But there's too many
that is so selfish they keep the grace gifting for
themselves so that they can benefit because they don't want
to help no body. And where we do that, you'll
(32:01):
notice that people that have grace gifts, they don't get
too many blessings because their group, their blessings are limited
because their gifts are not for themselves. God blesses us
to be a blessing. Just like he said I give
seed to the sword, he mean that He is not
gonna give too many seed the door that's gonna eat
(32:22):
the seed up because the seed are not for us.
The seed is to be sown, is to give away.
It's to sow into the life of others that need them.
Because as we sow the seed, he will give it back.
He will sew back to us. He will bless us
either by sixty or one hundred fold. That's what he does.
(32:42):
He will give back to us as we give unto others.
And that's what our assignment is. That's why He gives
us so that we can give it unto other people.
Our assignment are not for us. They're to help others
that don't no Christ. They don't know about the knowledge
(33:03):
of the Gospel. They don't understand the mechanism of how
to work the world of God. That is why we
have been gifted with these great gifts. We are own
assignments to imparty to the lives of other people to
help bring them into the full potential of who God
has created them to be. Our gifts us again. Our
(33:27):
assignments are not to be hear me now, they are
not to be displayed for platforms to receive a sense
of importance or significance according to the applause. I've already
(33:48):
said that to the applause of men, or to be
esteemed by them. Now again, God, don't have nob with
people clapping their hands for you or telling you that
you're doing a good job. You know, and there's nothing
wrong with your standing on a platform. But it's according
(34:10):
to how we see it. How do I received. I
have been on many platforms, I have stood on many stages.
I have stood behind many sacred deaths in the Holy
Spirit have brought the Word through me. But I had
sense enough to know that don't get the big head,
don't take the credit for none of it, and don't
(34:31):
stick my chest out as though I'm somebody so important
and that I'm so significant, and take the glory for
what belonged to God. I mean sure that every time
I stood on the stage, every time I was on
a platform, every time I stood behind that sacred podium,
I knew that I had to give that glory to God,
(34:52):
because it was because of him He said that your
gift will make room for you, because what you're doing,
you're not doing it for yourself. I'm working through you.
I'm using you the vessel to imparty to the lives
of the one that is hearing you. And I had
sense of nothing know that. But there's many who don't
see it that way. So God don't have no problem
(35:14):
with people clapping their hands, but with the people clap
their hands for you, who do you give the credit to?
Do you see credit for yourself and make yourself? Oh
I must be imparted. Look at all these people out
there in that order. They showed They showed up for me. No,
they showed up and here the word from the Lord.
They ain't come to hear nothing from you. They came
to hear a word from the Lord. And we have
(35:35):
to give God the credit for that. Why do I
hope somebody getting this tonight. The true significance of our
assignment comes from God. That's the significance about assignments. Because
if God did not give us a strength, if you
(35:55):
didn't put the words in our mouth, if you're in
the order, our depth, we couldn't do it. If he
would snatch his breath out of us, out of our lungs.
While we're doing these things, how could they be done?
So the true significance of our assignment has come from
(36:16):
God who has chosen us in Christ Jesus in trusting
us with specific grace tips and sending us out into
its kingdom for its purposes to finish the assignment. So
(36:40):
he trusts us well. If he gives us an assignment,
he has chosen us for that particular assignment. Why because
he believed that we're gonna do it, and we are
gonna glorify him in it, and we are going to
not take any credit, but we are going to give
all the glo glory back to Him and not take
(37:03):
in it for ourself. We're just gonna finish the assignment
that we were sent to do and say, God, get
the credit, and pray that you are pleased the Lord
with what I have done in your name right, because
you're not going into our name. We are going in
the name of Jesus Christ. And whatever we're doing, we're
(37:25):
doing for our Lord and our Savior. Didn't the Word
say that only what we do for Christ is going
to last. So nothing that we do for our self,
I don't care if we speak to millions, does not matter.
If we do it for our self, it's gonna fall
to the ground. God does not even see it as significant.
(37:47):
He does not even see it as anything of in
parties right because we did it and we took credit,
because man applauded for us, and we took credit for
it as though we were somebody significant. Note, when we're
on assignment of the Lord, God got to get credit
for everything that happened while we was on that assignment.
(38:09):
Give us finished the assignment, and give God the glory.
When we look at verse eleven again, it's says, if
any man speak, let him speak as the rifles of God.
If any man minister, let him do it as of
the ability which God give it. That God in all
(38:36):
things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be
praised and dominion forever and ever. Amen, just got do
saying some of that. If the God don't give us
the power of God, don't give us the breath, you know,
if the blood does not stay around with me in
our band, If God does not give us the knowledge,
(38:58):
He don't put into our minds what needs to be said,
it's not gonna happen. We will not be able to
do their sign, and so all the glory and the
honor has to go back to him. So, in other words,
those who speak as articles of God implies a message
(39:20):
that's given a message, implies a message that's purely seless
as many it comes from those Lord. It's not nothing
that's made up. It's not nothing that you are read
that somebody else did. Is a message that comes from God,
God speaking. You are speaking saying what thus says the
(39:42):
Lord is a less message is cure coming from the
heart is divine in which man has no part. That's
why we cannot take any credit for it. Because it's
not something you just snatched up out of the sky.
It's a word that the Lord laid on your heart,
(40:03):
and he say, speak this. I want the people to
hear this. Open your mouth and let me talk through you.
Let me speak to you, because this is what I
want the people to hear. Didn't say, if any man speak,
let him speak as the article of God. Let him
speak as though it's the Lord speaking through them. Mind
(40:23):
my mind, because we don't know the mind of God.
We don't know what God is gonna say. So when
we open our mouth and let him speak. We allow
him to use us as a death soul and let
him say whatever he wants to say. That's why the
Word is divining, and man has no part in that.
(40:43):
Now listen, Even Hiddens gave credence and respect to those
that they call God and Hell their messages as sacred.
They thought it was a sacred thing whatever they out
of God had to see. And they gave respect to
their out of Goths. So if that, if a Heathens
(41:04):
could hold respect and honor to their out of gads,
how much more should Christians obey the Bible, the word
of God that they hold to be the articles of
God hold to be the word of God. Wow, Heathens
gave many presents p R E S. E n t s.
(41:28):
Give many presents to their priests to get a word
that could be interpreted no matter the outcome, whether good
outcome for them or whether it was a bad outcome.
They paid the priests could get a word. But get this,
(41:49):
Christians have an infallible revelation in all the affairs of
their life. And guess what the The revelation of the
Word is free. And guess what it's called the Bible,
the words of God. You get it for free. Will
(42:12):
we give cretins to it? Will we acknowledge that it
is the word of God. He has sent those on
assignment to give us the word of God. We can
only tell them what the Lord says. We can't make
up nothing he says, don't add to it, don't take
away from it. We can only give what the Word
(42:33):
of God say. That is the assignment. Say what DoD
says the Lord. Ministers should not try to minister beyond
their own ability or imitate the ability of another. I
(42:54):
cannot be Jery. Jerry is a minister our vicious saying
that we cannot be. We cannot switch off and be
one of the others. We can only be who God
put us on assignment to be. That's all we can
do is the great gifting that Ye have gifted unto us.
(43:17):
And no true is going to do it the same wing.
That's how come we cannot. We need to start wishing
for other people's gifts because God have gifted accordingly as
ye see sin and we should not try to imitate.
Not going on the ability that the Lord has gifted
(43:40):
us on our assignments. Just finish the assignments. According to
the wisdom the knowledge and the power given unto you
through Christ Jesus. Verse well of it, think it not
(44:01):
strange concerning the fiery trial, rich is to try you
as those some strange things happen unto you. Now, everything
that Christian suffering, it is not Christian suffering. Is not
what the Bible is saying that Christians should be suffering
(44:22):
for now. Murder is murdering eyes, even doing being or
being a body crimes Christians. That those those are not
the kind of suffering that the Lord talked about, because
those are the things that deserves some type of resolution
(44:45):
for what Christians do, because that that's just sining, okay,
But there's some things that Christians actually suffer for that
and these are the things that they consist of. Persecution
by righteousness, fighting and being slendlessly attacked by others, being
(45:05):
falsely accused, being beaten for the sake of Christ, being
rejected by ned because of Christ Jesus, being hated by
the world because we loved Jesus, Hatred by religsdves. Isn't
that something where you got Religives in your own family
that hates you and don't want to be around you
(45:26):
because call you a Bible thumb, or because you love
the Lord and they haven't gotten there yet and they
hate to see you come in. And sometimes when they
have standing together, sometimes they won't even invite you because
they're not ready to hear. We don't want them there
at that family to gather. But all they want to
talk about is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. And that's something temptations
(45:47):
and self resistance, shame because of Christ's name, being put
in prison for serving Christ and doing tribulations, and being
stolen for the sake of servant Jesus Christ, being misunderstood
and and defination of character for no reason at all,
(46:08):
being made a spectacle by men to make fun of
you because you talk about the Lord and tell people
how much you love the Lord. But now remember now,
everybody is not there where we are, so we can't
take it personal. When people started demonstrating and exhibiting these
types of behavior of having to travail due to all
(46:31):
manner or evil persons and demonic works of man, people
do all kinds of things to us. When we love God,
now those are things of Christian actual Christian suffering. But
when we murder somebody that ain't no Christian suffering. You
hear what I'm saying, Or when we steal something or
when we do things blatantly, that's evil. And when we
being a business about the minded for other people business
(46:54):
or committed christ that's not No Christians suffer and that
just means we just out there sinning, And that ain't
no Christians sufferance, We just send him. Yet in all
of these trials, we must seek help from the Holy
Spirit for strength and endurance. To finish the assignment that
(47:15):
God has charged to each of us to do. We
must live and walk out our assignment on a daily basis.
As Apostle seed Peter see, I'm sorry. Apostle Paul said
he first to rent this chapter seventh, verse seventeen. But
(47:36):
as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord
has called everyone, so let him walk and sew or
dan I in all churches. That was Paul's saying. What
(47:57):
was what was that meaning? He said? Let each person
lead the life that the Lord has assigned to them
and work to finish that assignment, minding their own business
and leave other people business alone. Because according to another
(48:19):
pathtig the scripture, the apostle Paul said, the first Corinthians,
chapter seven and verse twenty two. That reminds us of this.
He said, for he that is called in the Lord
being a servant, he is the Lord's freemen free man. Likewise,
(48:42):
also he that is called being free his Christ servant.
We got to remember who we're working for. We are
not working for man. We are not on assignment for
our self. We are not on assign alignment from Maine.
Man cannot give us no great gifts. Man cannot give
(49:07):
us no gifts from God. The gift thing and the
assignments come from the Lord God Almighty. Again, Paul was
saying in this passage, the cause of God are stewards
of the great gifts your stewards or He's given us care,
(49:30):
He's given us oversight. We are overseers of the great gifts,
and they are to be imparted to others who are
in need of them. We are not to keep the
great gifts for ourself. We are to impart them into
the lives of others who are in need of them.
(49:52):
So this is why God gave them to us, not
what ourself, but they are for others. Therefore, we have
a responsibility to work while it is day as lift
up the name of Jesus to those that don't know him.
And ye, God will draw the unsaved unto him. We
(50:19):
just need to finish the assignment, because our gifts do
not belong to us. They belong to God. They are
to be used through us to be given to the
people Verse thirteen. But rejoice in as much we are
(50:41):
particles of Christis sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed,
he may be glad also with exceeding joy in finishing
their assignment. We can rejoice in the Lord because we
are participants in his sufferings, so that we may bring
(51:06):
glory to His name. We must remember that our lives
are not about pursuing our own dreams, which men are
self exalting fantasists, filled with pride and selfish gratitude. When
we ready examine each gold and dream closely and honestly. However,
(51:35):
on that God knows what is best for us, and
he knows exactly what he created us to do. He
even made provisions for the necessary qualifications and gifting it
would take to complete each assignment to the fullest potential.
(51:58):
And if we follow him destructions by faith, he will
lead us down a fulfilling path, even when through suffering
and death, in order that we might finish the assignment
given unto us. Our works will glorify Him, and He
(52:19):
will allow us to experience joy unspeakable as a reward
when we suffer with him. The only thing he wants
us to do is just finish the assignment. And verse fourteen,
(52:39):
if ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy
are ye, for the spirit of Glory and of God
restless upon you. On their part he is even spoken up.
But on your part he is glorified again. We will
(53:01):
suffer many things for the sake of Christ, and shall
be rewarded with exceeding joy as we enter into eternal
peace and everlasting life with Him. No matter how hard
the tests, trials and trivilations or afflictions of life become.
(53:24):
He promised to be our peace in the midst of
each storm, and that the prod of His glory will
rest upon us to comfort, guide and keep us. As
promised in Hebrew chapter thirteen and verse five, it says,
(53:47):
let your conversations be without covetousness, and be content with
such things as ye have, For he has said, I
will never leave thee Lord for sake thee or to
be kept by the Lord following assignment. Therefore, stay on
(54:08):
your assignment and be a good steward of your great
gifts for the sake of others. Aspire to become the
best and most fruitful steward that you can be for
God's juelry. Don't dishonor God by not seeking your assignment
(54:29):
as valuable to him. And do not waste valuable time
grumbling and complaining about your assignment because you resent the
gifts He has given to others that you desire more.
None of us are perfect, do re do serves a
(54:53):
perfect God that will assign them perfect people to do
earthly works. We all stumble and still seek to recover
from false but God alone knows how, and He will
graciously forgive us and still use us to bring glory
(55:15):
to His name when we are willing to humble ourselves
in his sight. Fir's Peter again five to six and
seven assures us of this. Some of yourself therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you
in due time, casting all your care upon him, for
(55:38):
he cares for you. So I close with this. Stay
on the right path use your grace gifts to help
others that are weak for lost in fins. Point the
way to Jesus Christ. Understand that none of us deserves
(55:58):
his goodness, yet He has chosen you for his service.
Now finish thee assignments. We thank God tonight for this word.

will changed and somebody's life is going to be transformed
