The Household of God Ephesians 2:19

Who is your Lord: The potter and the clay? Sunday, May 21, 2017
 

Reading: Jeremiah 18:1-6


1. Introduction
When a potter puts a lump of clay on the table what the clay eventually becomes is actually in the heart of the potter not the clay.
The final product will conform to the expectations of the potter from the clay. The clays form and final shape and size is determined by the potter.
Jeremiah 29:11. The lord says I know the thoughts i think about you...
 

2. Lordship
Luke 6:43-45 Why do ye call me Lord Lord, and do not what I say?
• By inference you do what your Lord says.
• Acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus
He follows by saying that those who yield themselves to their lord are bound to succeed. Jude 1:6
Note:
A lot of men are they who have not come to the realization that the word of God is designed with inherent life which is activated by sincere response to the Lord. John 7:17
 

3. The benefit seekers
Those who use Gods word without the active ingredient (His Lordship and our doing of his will) will not get the desired effect.
• From the mindset of responding to your Lord. Luke 6:46
• The resulting faith should connect you the Lord. 1John 5:14
• One receives Mark 11:23-24

4. Having the right focus
The classic example is Judas, but even Peter had a eyes on benefit...Matthew 19:27. And who comes to God without need for benefit? It goes to say that without Gods help even thinking right is a problem. Thanks be to our God who actually helps us to serve him. Philippians 2:13


5. Activating Gods righteousness
It is clear to me that when God created man he had a picture a glorious under ruler who had been given the capacity to take care of the earth.
Inside every man of a code of righteousness given by God
That the devil cannot change what the Lord did. What he has done is to let man (“go mad”) oppose himself by imposing himself as our Lord 2Timothy 2:25-25
The result is that many do things they don't approve!. Cover their minds, 2 Corinthians 4:4
Paul cries out saying who will deliver from the body of this death. Romans 7:24-25 And he gives the answer. Jesus Christ.

6. Restoration of Lordship
What the devil took was by deception. Many are going to hell unwillingly and Jesus came
Specifically, to redeem such people.
• When God created man it was in the spirit. Genesis 1:26. The body was formed later. Genesis 2:7 A change in Lordship will not be a simple matter of a physical translation but a spiritual work and that only the Lord can do. Matthew 19:26


Accept the lordship of Jesus and you will be restored! In fact you will be renewed. Amen.
