The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
Our Lives are in God's hands
Reading: Genesis 50:20
1. Introduction
God who is the ultimate doer of all things. As it Is in James 4:14-15 We usually
plan to go to this place and that before the day starts. But a simple rain can
cause a change of plans.
So who is really in charge? Yes obviously there are things you can do even when
it rains but God is the one who really makes your desires achievable.
2. Joseph Life ordered Genesis 50:20
Jacob loved Joseph and his brothers hated him and eventually sold him to some
traders. He worked in Pharaohs house and found favour.
But soon got into trouble and was put in prison. Gods favour was with him in
prison and he was released became the prime minister of Egypt and then
eventually his family came to him. He said this was God’s plan!
3. Fit your Plans into Gods Plan - Jeremiah 29:11
How can God be in my plans. Isaiah 10:13-15
When you tether a goat for pasture, though you don't eat for it, it has limits.
Our lives have limits privileges and responsibilities.
4. The structure determines what can be done. Acts 9:5, 22:8, 22:18
If we live in God's plan our life will be fulfilled. Though Paul had a
conviction in himself what he should do, he was forgetting who holds his
destiny.
Work with God not against him.
5. Jacob- Not an ordinary Change
The only God who can change everything about us
Genesis 33:28. This is why our trust in the Lord.
Jacob was born with a dubious characters but he was changed.
it is only my God who calls light out of darkness 2Corinthians 4:6, and things
that be not as thought they were. Romans 4:16-17 Brother this makes all things
possible with him - trust Him
Another case of God's can change anything including Jacob, any crookedness can
be removed
6. God is not released in our Covenant.
Romans 7:2-3 releases a wife when the husband dies.
Our covenant with another human a mortal partner is nullified on one party's
demise what about if that party that is not mortal. The covenant is Eternal!
That is why there Lord cannot abandon you. Trust in Him.
Prayer: Father Help me to always see your direction.
