DOES LIFE AND MINISTRY EVER BECOME A BURDEN?

I have tears running down my cheeks as I prepare my heart. I look down at my feet and there lies CHUBACA (Chewy)

a Shih Tzu. He has crawled up so close to me. He just wants to be near his master. I beg God, Lord please let me just lay at JESUS’ FEET.

COULD TODAY HOLD THE POSSIBILITY OF A MIRACLE? IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR MY SITUATION? CAN MIRACLES HAPPEN?

Poor Ezekiel? Hopeless? Helpless? Fear? Worry? HAVE WE LEARNED THAT ONLY GOD CAN RESTORE LIFE? Can you see life as DEAD BONES? Question: CAN THESE BONES, DRY BONES LIVE AGAIN? Jesus is the resurrection.

Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

FAIL THE TEST? ARE YOU GIVING WHAT YOU CAN? CAN WE EXPECT BLESSINGS ON WHAT YOU HAVE?

John 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

JESUS GAVE THANKS… THEN THEY GAVE WHAT THEY HAD…5 BARLEY (poor people had barley) BISCUITS, 2 fishes… 12 baskets of leftovers… GOD USES WHAT WE HAVE…

HAVE YOU HEARD OF WEE BOBBY MOFFETT?

There was a small village church in Scotland that did not seem to be growing. The deacons cornered the pastor and had serious questions about the church. The deacons asked WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO GROWTH IN THE CHURCH THIS YEAR? We have not had one new member. The deacons thought the church was going backwards. The church had plateaued . The deacons were considering dismissing the old pastor.

The pastor agreed with the deacons. We have seen no growth this year. It has been a very lean year, we have decided we need a young pastor. No one has come to accept Jesus this year. The old pastor had tears in his eyes. He said remember that poor little Moffett family. Their young son (4) came to the altar and accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Remember WEE BOBBY MOFFETT? Remember that lad?

WEE LITTLE BOBBY MOFFETT? Several years later WEE BOBBY went to a missions meeting and the Lord began dealing with WEE BOBBY. The ushers took up the offering. The Moffett family was very poor. When the offering basket passed Bobby he was crying and he said: I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE. NOTHING… BOBBY ASKED THE USHER TO PLACE THE OFFERING PLATE IN THE FLOOR OF THE CHURCH. So the usher complied. WEE BOBBY was bare footed and he stepped into the offering plate and said: “I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE TO GOD, NOTHING BUT MYSELF.”

That day was a turning point in WEE BOBBY’S LIFE. Only one person saved the whole year? Bobby’s poor family could not afford a fine education for him. He helped work in people’s gardens. Bobby started praying for hours. BOBBY volunteered to help a mission couple, JOHN WILLIAMS. In 1816 Bobby was 21. Bobby left his home and traveled with them to AFRICA. Bobby found himself in Cape Town Africa serving as a missionary. 3 years later in December 1819 WEE BOBBY was now ROBERT MOFFETT. ROBERT MARRIED A GIRL FROM HIS HOMETOWN, MARY.

HEAR ME, YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE A NOBODY IN A NOBODY PLACE DOING NOTHING. ROBERT AND MARY MOFFET SERVED 50+ YEARS in missions. BOBBY BECAME DOCTOR ROBERT MOFFETT … Doctor Moffett preached Jesus Christ to the heathen of South Africa and he taught them gardening skills. His work kept many from starving to death. Today that area has their own translation of the Bible because of WEE BOBBY MOFFETT.
