Message Title: I want More of You because There is More of You
Scripture: John 14:12-14.
One of the greatest temptations in
Life is to settle. We settle for the person we are dating, the job we have,
where we live. I remember talking to this young girl who came to me crying
saying that her boyfriend treated her badly. I asked her, “Why she just didn’t
break up with him?” She said, “I don’t know, I want to marry him.” They did end
up getting married and before the year was up they were headed to divorce
court. She settle and was miserable.
We have the same tendency to do that
in our walk with God. We’re ok with the fact that we attend some church service
somewhere; hear some message that may inspire us to forge on. Then we go about
our week. If that’s you, you just settle.
The Bible is not just a book of
stories to just help encourage us through hard times. It’s a book of promises.
If we live out its pages we will also live out its promise’s.
John 14
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you,
he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because
I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My
name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the
Son. 14 If you [c]ask anything in My
name, I will do it.
This is a promise given to those that believe. We will do
what he Jesus did feed the hungry, preach to the captives, and heal the sick.
The greater things in this passage is we will do it on a greater scale and
bring people to the saving knowledge of Christ. Most of us do not live this
out. We have settle. I want to encourage you today. Challenge you today to not
settle.
Pray
ask God to help you live this promise out. Tell him I want more of you because
there is more of you.
Be blessed in Jesus name.
