MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
WE HAVE BEEN SUMMON TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF BROTHER/SISTER ________
I WOULD ASK THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS FAMILY LIFTED UP IN PRAYER TODAY AS WELL THE DAYS TO COME----BECAUSE THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER
(EXPOUND ON DECEASED)
AND HE/SHE HAS ANSWERED THE 5TH CALL OF LIFE A CALL WE ALL MUST ANSWER IF THE LORD CONTINUES TO TARRY
AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE 6 CALLS TO LIFE
AND THE 1ST CALL WAS WHEN WE WAS A SUBSTANCE IN OUR MOTHERS WOMB
THE 2ND CALL WAS WHEN WE WAS BORN INTO THIS OLD SINFUL WORLD
AND JOB PUT IT LIKE THIS IN
Job 14:1 (KJV)
1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
THE 3RD CALL IS A CALL OF REGENERATION John 3:3 (KJV)
3 JESUS TELLS NICODEMUS, , Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
THE 4TH CALL IS A CALL OF TRANSFORMATION
IN PREACH BROTHER PAUL LETTER TO ALL WHO ARE IN ROME 12 CHP VERSE 2
PREACH BROTHER PAUL TELLS US
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
AND IN HIS 2ND LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT CORINTH 5TH CHP VERSE 17 HE SAYS
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
THE 5TH CALL IS THE CALL OF DEATH –A CALL NONE OF US CAN MISS IF THE LORD CONTINUES TO TARRY
FOR THE HEBREW WRITER SAYS IN THE
Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
THE 6TH CALL IS A CALL OF JUDGEMENT
PAUL TELLS THE CORITHIANS IN 2COR 5:10
2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJV)
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
NOW I NEED TO PAUSE AND TELL YOU –YOU NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT THE 5 AND THE 6 CALL
AS LONG AS YOU GOT A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ONE WHO IS DOING THE CALLING
AND JUST IN CASE THERE SOMEONE HERE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE WHO DO NOT KNOW HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE
MY PLEA TO YOU THIS MORNING THAT YOU NEED TO MEET HIM AND ALLOW HIM INTO YOUR HEART WHILE THE BLOOD IS STILL YET RUNNING THRU YOUR VIENS
VERY BRIEFLY I NEED EACH OF YOU TO TAKE A TRIP WITH ME SPIRITUALLY TO THE LAND OF UZ
WHEN WE REACH OUR SPIRITUAL DESTINATION
WE WILL MEET A MAN WHO LOST MORE IN ONE DAY THAN MANY OF US WILL LOSE IN A LIFETIME
A MAN WHO LOVED AND FEARED GOD – A PRAYING MAN
AND EVEN THOUGH HE LOVED AND FEARED GOD AND WAS A PRAYING MAN ---TROUBLED STILL SHOWED UP AT HIS FRONT PORCH –BUT IN SPITE OF ALL HE WENT THROUGH HE STILL HAD A PRAISE FOR GOD INSIDE OF HIM
AND VERY BRIEFLY I WOULD LIKE TO LIFT UP A PORTION OF HIS STORY ---THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE
Job 1:20-21 (KJV)
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD AND THE GUIDIANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS
I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT (HOLDING ON TO HEAVEN WHEN HELL IS ON YOUR BACK
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
OUT OF ALL THE BIBICAL HERO`S OF THE OLD AND AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
THERE IS NONE THAT STOOD OUT LIKE JOB
FOR JOB STANDS OUT LIKE A MIGHTY OAK TREE IN GOD`S HEAVENLY FOREST
FOR MANY HAVE COME ON THE SCENE –BUT NONE LIKE JOB
FOR JOB ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY OF HARD KNOCKS
WHERE HE RECEIVED A DOCTOR DEGREE IN OLE LORDY AND THANK YOU JESUS
FOR HE KNEW ALL ABOUT SORRY TRIALS AND TRIBULATION
FOR IT WAS JOB THAT ENDURED ALL HIS PROBLEMS AT ONE TIME
KEPT HIS FAITH
AND MANAGE TO HOLD ON TO HEAVEN WHEN HELL WAS ON HIS BACK
FOR JOB TOOK ALL THAT SATAN HAD TO OFFER AND CONTINUED TO HOLD ON TO GOD`S UNCHANGING HAND
FOR I KNOW THERE ARE MANY GREAT MEN AND WOMEN IN THE BIBLE THAT SUFFERED BUT NONE LIKE JOB
FOR NOAH SUFFERED –FOR NOAH PREACH THE SAME SERMON 120 YEARS –A SERMON TITLED –IT`S GONNA RAIN
BUT THE PEOPLE WOULD`NT PAY HIM NO MIND –SO WHEN THE FLOOD CAME THEY WAS LEFT BEHIND
ABRAHAM SUFFERED –FOR HE HAD TO WAIT UNTIL HIS GOLDEN YEARS TO RECEIVE ISSAC THE SON OF PROMISE
THEN THE SAME SON HE WAITED ALL THOSE YEARS FOR GOD TOLD HIM TO TAKE HIM TO MT MORIAH TO SACRIFICE HIM TO THE LORD
JOSEPH SUFFERED FOR HE WAS THROWN INTO THE PIT BY HIS BROTHERS ---SOLD TO THE ISHMELITES –SOLD TO –SOLD TO POTIPHAR—LIED ON BY POTIPHAR WIFE AND CAST INTO PRISON---AND WENT FROM THE PRISON TO THE PALACE BY THE GRACE OF GOD
HEBREW SUFFERED WHEN THEY WAS THROWN INTO THE BURNING FURNACE
DANIEL SUFFERED WHEN HE WAS CAST INTO THE LIONS DEN ----HOSEA SUFFERED ROCKING AND HOLDING BABIES THAT WAS`NT EVEN HIS
ELIJAH SUFFERED FROM THE HANDS OF A WICKED WOMEN NAME JEZEBEL AND HER HENPECK HUSBAND AHAB
THEY BEHEADED JOHN THE BAPTIST
STONED STEPHEN
DRUG MATTHEW THROUGH THE STREETS OF ETPOHIA
HUNG LUKE ON A OLIVE TREE
CRUIFIED PETER WITH HIS HEAD DOWN AND HIS HEEL UP IN THE AIR
BOIL MARK IN A KETTLE OF OIL
TOOK JOHN THE REVEALTOR AND PUT HIM ON THE ISLE OF PATMOS
BEHEADED REVEREND DR PREACH BROTHER PAUL
ALL OF THEM SUFFERED –BUT NONE OF THEM SUFFERED LIKE JOB
AND I NEED TO PULL OVER AND PUT ON MY EMERGENCY PRAISE FLASHERS AND LET YOU KNOW THAT WE TO MUST SUFFER
BUT IN THE MIDIST OF OUR SUFFERRING JOB TEACHES US IN THE TEXT HOW TO HOLD ONTO HEAVEN WHEN HELL IS ON YOUR BACK
AND IN THE TEXT BEFORE US JOB REVEALS TO US
THAT GOD WORKS ON US TO PUT IN US WHAT HE WANT TO COME OUT OF US
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
SATAN WAS TRYING TO DESTROY JOB
BUT GOD WAS ONLY TESTING JOB
AND YOU DO KNOW WITHOUT A TEST YOU CAN`T HAVE A TESTIMONY
AND THE PURPOSE FOR THE TEST IS FOR BUILDING CHARACTER THROUGH TRUTH
BECAUSE WE SREVE A GOD WHO CAN TAKE A SET BACK AND TURN IT AROUND INTO A COMEBACK
A GOD WHO TAKE WHAT DEVIL HAS MEANT FOR OUR BAD AND TURN IT AROUND AND MAKE IT WORKOUT FOR OUR GOOD
BUT NOTICE ----NOTICE ---NOTICE JOB RESPONSE TO GOD`S TEST
JOB AROSE RENT HIS MANTLE AND SHAVED HIS HEAD AND BEGAN TO WORSHIP GOD
AND IN THE MIDIST OF HIS WORSHIP
JOB LOOKS BACK –AND TAKES A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN WE HAVE TO LOOK BACK
AND OPEN UP OUR FAITH FILE
AND REMEMBER HOW GOD HAS BEEN OUR BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
HOW HE HAS MADE AWAY OUT OF NO WAY
HOW HE HAS BEEN OUR LIGHT IN A DARK SITUATION
HOW HE`S BEEN OUR COMPANY KEEPER IN A LONELY HOUR
JOB LOOKS BACK TO THE DAY HE WAS BORN AND SAID
NAKED CAME I OUT OF MY MOTHERS WOMB
AND IN THE MIDIST OF LOOKING BACK
JOB REALIZED –THAT EVERYTHING HE HAD GOD GAVE HIM
ALL HE WAS GOD MADE HIM
ALL HE KNEW GOD TAUGHT HIM
AND WHERE HE CAME FROM GOD HAD BROUGHT HIM
AND IN THE MIDIST OF HIS WORSHIP JOB REALIZED
THAT THE SAME GOD WHO MADE ==GAVE ==TAUGHT AND BOUGHT HAD THE RIGHTS TO TAKE IT AWAY
BUT NOT ONLY DOES JOB LOOKS BACK
BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS THAT JOB LOOKS FORWARD TO THE DAY OF HIS DEMISE
AND SAID NAKED I SHALL RETURN THITHER
JOB REALIZED THAT WHEN HE LEFT THIS OLD WORLD HE COULD`NT TAKE NOTHING WITH HIM
AND ALL JOB IS TELLING US
IS ALL THAT MONEY YOU GOT IN THE BANK WHEN GOD CALL SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO SPEND IT
THAT HOUSE YOU LIVE IN WHEN GOD CALL YOU SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO LIVE IN IT
ALL THEM NICE CLOTHES YOU GOT IN YOUR CLOSET
WHEN GOD CALL YOU SOMEBODY ELSE GONE WEARING
CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
I`VE BEEN BLACK 4 TIMES
A BLACK BABY
A BLACK BOY
A BLACK YOUNG MAN
A BLACK MAN
AND IF THE LORD ALLOW ME TO SEE MY GOLDEN YEARS – A BLACK OLD MAN
BUT IN ALL OF MY 40 PLUS YRS
I`VE NEVER SEEN A U HUAL FOLLOW A HEARSE TO THE CEMETARY
AND JOB TEACHES US IN THE TEXT THAT WE MUST LAY OUR TREASURES IN HEAVEN AND HOLD ON TO GOD UNCHANGING HAND
BUT NOT ONLY DOES JOB LOOKS BACK TO THE DAY HE WAS BORN /AND LOOKS FORWARD TO THE DAY OF HIS DEATH
BUT THE TEXT ALOO REVEALS THAT JOB LOOK UP AND GAVE GOD SOME PRAISE
AND YOU DO KNOW IT`S A BLESSING IN LOOKING UP
THAT’S WHY THE PSALMIST SAID
I WILL LIFT MY EYES UNTIL; THE HILLS FOR WHICH COMETH MY HELP AND MY HELP COMETH FROM THE LORD
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
WHEN JOB LOOK UP HE TOOK HIS EYES OFF OF HIS PROBLEMS
AND PUT THEM IN THE HANDS OF A PROBLEM SOLVER
AND YOU DO KNOW THAT JESUS IS A PROBLEM SOLVER
JOB LOOKS UP AND SAYS
BLESSETH BE THE NAME OF THE LORD
OH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
JOB WORSHIP GOD FOR WHO WAS
BUT HE PRAISED GOD FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE –FOR WHAT HE WAS DOING –AND FOR WHAT HE WAS ABOUT TO DO
AND BECAUSE JOB HELD ONTO HEAVEN WHEN HELL WAS ON HIS BACK
GOD GAVE HIM DOUBLED FOR HIS TROUBLE
AND I WONDER IS THERE ANY BODY HERE KNOW THAT THE LORD IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISE
IF HE WOKE YOU UP THIS MORNING
CLOTHE YOU IN YOUR RIGHT MIND BLESS YOU WITH A PORTION OF YOUR HEALTH AND STRENGHT
CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD FOOD ON YOUR TABLE /SHOES ON YOUR FEET
BUT CAN I REALLY TELL WHY THE LORD IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISE
