Below is a copy of my recent preaching in church. It was well received and impactful. Hope you will find it inspiring.
Text: 1Cor 15:57-58
INTRODUCTION
God?s will for us is to live a victorious life. That is the only time we are fulfilling His plan. He desires to see His children enjoying constant and consistent victory in every endeavour of our lives. Nevertheless it will take a stable live to enjoy victory.
But we live in a world of changing standards. There seems not to be a definite and concrete yardstick for measuring ideas, opinions and beliefs. Yet in the midst of such relative world, God expects us to be stable and absolute people. In reality victory is tied to stability. No one will willingly trust an unstable person. If therefore we want to attain the victorious life that is possible in Christ, we must trust God for grace to be stable and walk in the principles that will ensure our stability
STABLE: Steady and not liable to change. In this message, we shall consider the qualities of stability by taking STABLE as acrostic for vital qualities.
S- Secure: firmly fixed; well guarded and strongly fortified or protected. Psalm 57:7, 108:1; 112:7, 34:5, Heb 12:2 Num 21:1-4 John 3:14, 15
T- Temperate: mild or restrained in behaviour or attitude: 1Cor 9:25 Titus 1:8; 2:2
A-Accommodate: to adjust actions in response to the needs of somebody; to allow for something: to be adaptable enough to allow something without major change. Eph 4:2 Col 3:13
B-Balance: Harmony: a state in which various parts form a satisfying and harmonious whole and nothing is out of proportion or unduly emphasized at the expense of the rest; emotional and mental stability. Prov. 4:20-27. Balance in business and family life and others
L- Loyal: faithful. Prov. 25:13, 28:20 Dan 6:4 Matt 24:45, 25:21 Luke 16:10 1Cor 4:2
E- Endure: ability to bear prolonged hardship; persistence over time Ezk. 22:14 Matt 24:13 Mar 4:17 2Tim 2:3, 2Tim 4:3, 5
In conclusion, let me ask you in the words of Ezekiel 22:14, can your heart endure? Can you go through the processes needed for your victory in life? Many people started well but faded away because they couldn't endure. Allow God to take you through the processes needed for your much desired victory.
