The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
Only Jesus is Worthy Sunday, February 19, 2017
Reading: Revelations 5:12-14
1. Introduction
There are things that are reserved only for people who qualify
• Some are by inheritance Hebrews 1:3-4
• Some are by conquest. Colossians 2:15
• Some are by conferment Philippians 2:11, Psalm 2:8
Unless a person is qualified by one or all of these your performance of the
function is useless. Up to today there is no-one who has tasted death for
anyone.
2. In effective performance
Anyone who performs a function that he is not qualified for Romans 10:1-2.
Whilst the performer will be totally convinced that he is making headway, he may
be totally ineffective.
• When the disciples tried to dislodge a demon Jesus said this kind... The
disciples just did not know. Matthew 17:19-20
• The sons of Sceva got themselves into trouble attempting what they were not
qualified to do. Acts 19:14.
3. Training and qualifications
The nature of the job and the kind of qualification required.
• The training for the job comes from a higher authority. My father has taught
me I can lay down my life and I can take it back again. John 2:10-17
• True qualifications are God given. Giving birth by women their preserve no man
can give birth. A simply cannot do it.
4. Conclusion
Revelation 5:12 Only Jesus is worthy.
Jesus has what it takes to deliver the world out of the hands of the devil.
Father, help me to qualify in the training for life of Jesus Christ. Amen
Key Morale
Don't just be a Christian qualify for it. Amen.
