He Who Began A Good Work, Will Be Faithful To Complete It!
Philippians 1:6 NKJ
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”
Regardless of how you may feel, no matter what your circumstances may be this morning!
Whether your 19 or 99, TBS. Your best days are not behind you, with God, Your Greatest Days Are Still Ahead of You!
That’s what makes serving God so exciting, because if you will let it, everyday will be more exciting than the one before!
It's nothing that your going to do, but everything that God will do for you!
We haven’t even begun to reach the potential God has for each and everyone of us!
We haven't even scratched the surface yet!
The moment you became a child of God, you became a work in progress, Praise God!
Well, you might say, you don’t know what’s going on with my situation!
I don’t have to know your situation, God knows!
But i do know this, He is bigger than your situation!
Maybe you are right in the middle, of one of the biggest fights of your life,
and the devil is throwing everything, including the kitchen sink at you!
There is nothing he can throw at you, even the kitchen sink, that Jesus hasn’t already defeated at the cross. Amen?
There’s not enough demons in hell, or roaming this earth, to keep God’s purpose and plan for your life from being fulfilled!
Romans 8:38 NKJ
37. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39. nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There is nothing that can get in between us and the love of God!
No matter what we may come against, God through His Son Jesus and His Love for us, has already made us conquerors over it! Praise God!
God hasn’t brought you this far to let the accuser throw you under the bus now, or ever!
He has too much invested in you to give up on you now, He knows better than anyone, “that in your life,
the best is yet to come and that the greatest things in your life are still in the making
Somebody is here this morning and this word is for you, you won’t hear it on the street, you won’t hear it at work, you won't hear it at the coffee shop,
but its all part of the magnificent plans that God has had for you, from the beginning! Praise God
Psalms 139:16 NKJ
16. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
The accuser doesn’t have the last word in your life, he never has!
God does, always has and always will have!….Gods words, speak life in every situation!
Gods words never come back empty to Him, they always accomplish what He wants!
Somebody Praise God for His faithful Word!
Ezekiel 37:5-10 MSG.
5-6. God, the Master, told the dry bones, "Watch this: I'm bringing the breath of life to you and you'll come to life. I'll attach sinews to you, put meat on your bones, cover you with skin, and breathe life into you. You'll come alive and you'll realize that I am God!"
7-8. I prophesied just as I'd been commanded. As I prophesied, there was a sound and, oh, rustling! The bones moved and came together, bone to bone. I kept watching. Sinews formed, then muscles on the bones, then skin stretched over them. But they had no breath in them.
9. He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, 'God, the Master, says, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain bodies. Breathe life!'"
10. So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army.
God has been speaking good things over you, your whole life long!
He wants nothing but the best for you!
And let me tell you this-His best, is better than our best,
because we can only compare it to our standards, and we have no real way of knowing,
Just how much God wants to bless His children!
But we should rejoice in the fact that God wants to share what He has with us, in the first place!
TBS. Isaiah 55:8-11 MSG.
8-11. "I don't think the way you think.
The way you work isn't the way I work."
God's Decree.
"For as the sky soars high above earth,
so the way I work surpasses the way you work,
and the way I think is beyond the way you think.
Just as rain and snow descend from the skies
and don't go back until they've watered the earth,
Doing their work of making things grow and blossom,
producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,
So will the words that come out of my mouth
not come back empty-handed.
They'll do the work I sent them to do,
they'll complete the assignment I gave them.
God brought Joseph up, out of the pit and took him straight from the prison to the palace, second in power only to the Pharaoh!
Was Joseph qualified for that position of power?
Not really, but it didn’t matter, because God’s favor on his life, propelled him right by the qualifications,
The favor of God always does! Who wouldn’t want the favor of God on their life, if they only knew they could have it and what it could do for them in their life?
Its kind of like, the horse and water thing though, by that I mean,
You can tell someone about the favor and goodness of God….You can show them that they can experience it as well….But you can’t make them drink it!
You have to be willing to lay the way things are….the way things have always been aside….and allow God an opportunity to do a work in your life, if you want to see His Favor
Psalms 34:19 NKJ.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth them out of them all.”
Joseph could have wallowed in his disappointments, everyone has that choice, but realize this….
there is no disappointment God can not turn into an appointment.
Disappointments are temporary, Gods appointments are lasting and life long.
You shouldn’t be fighting the same battles, your whole life long, Jesus has already fought them and been Victorious!
It doesn’t matter what you may be going through, it doesn’t matter what you are facing today,
Nothing is to hard for God! When you give Him a chance to work in your life!
Just because its always been, doesn’t mean that it’s the way its always gonna be!
Romans 8:28 NKJ
“all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Some people never come to God because they can’t figure any of it out,
Who cares, if someone had the answer to the whole worlds problems, would you try to figure it out, or give it a listen and give it a try?
There’s not a mountain high enough….a river wide enough, that can keep you from
The good things and the good life God has created for you!
Only you can do that!
John 1:12 NKJ
12. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
If you’ve been born again, then you are part of the family of God.
Everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to you.
When satan sees you he sees a child of God, He sees what you are about to become and what you are about to do.
When satan sees you he sees a destiny, in the making, That’s why he always pulls out all the stops, when he is working against you!
He wants to keep you from your future and buried in the past.
He is not fighting you because of who you now are, where you now are, or what you now have.
He is fighting you because of who you are about to become, where you are about to go, and what you are about to do.
He knows that if you know Jesus, Know His powerful Grace and favor in your life and realize that others need to know the same thing,
You are a triple threat to him and he doesn’t stand a chance against you!
Numbers 23:19 NKJ
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
Your future is better than your past. Satan knows if he can keep you in your past that you will never move into your future.
God has so much in store for you, if you are willing to step into it and embrace it!
That’s why the accuser fights so hard and spends all of his time talking about yesterday.
Did you ever notice satan doesn’t talk about your tomorrow, because he can‘t stand the possibility of what it might hold for you?
Funny idn’t, because your future is the only thing God wants to talk about, because He knows how good it looks for and what it holds for you! Praise God!
Don’t build your future around your past. Focus on your tomorrow,
Don’t dwell on where you were yesterday; dwell on where you are today, and where you are about to go.
It’s your future, your destiny, that satan
wants to keep you from entering into.
Everything you are going through - the battles, the afflictions, the tests,
everything you are going through is the enemy trying to keep you from what God has in store for you.
Don’t look at your circumstance, look to the One who can change all your circumstances.
It doesn’t matter who or what is against you because if God is for you, they are fighting a losing battle, no matter what they might think! Praise God!
Romans 8:31 NKJ.
31. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Everything the devil has been threatening to do to you, he would have already done it, if he could have.
Jesus has rendered him completely powerless, isn’t time to kick him to the curb, once and for all!
You may not be what you want to be, but you’re not what you were.
You don’t have everything you want to have but you have more than you used to have.
You’re a work in progress!
Thank You Jesus!
You’re a miracle in the making!
Thank You Jesus!
When people look at you they may not see a finished product, but the good news is when God looks at you He sees a finished work.
Isn’t time you started seeing things God’s way, I think you’ll really enjoy the view when you do!
His mercies are new every morning! His mercy endures forever! Great is His Faithfulness!
"I know who holds the future,
And I know who holds my hand,
With God things don't just happen,
Everything by Him is planned;
So as I face tomorrow
With its problems large and small,
I'll trust the God of miracles-
Give to Him my all."
—A.B. Smith
Close with the song: He who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it!
Lets pray, Am
