MAJOR IN THE MAJOR-2

TEXT: Luke 10:42.

But there’s only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her.

It's important to get somethings straight in the story of Mary and Martha.

1.) *Martha was a disciple of Christ:* . She did not just welcome Jesus into her heart, she welcomed Him into her house, thereby making it easy for her brother and sister to know the Lord too. ( Luke 10:38).

If you are a disciple of Christ, then today's message is for you. Don't just receive Jesus into your life, let those around you know He is the Lord of your life. 

Open your home to others and let them meet Jesus there. Being born again is not a secret affair. Announce Him to your world. Remember, if you are ashamed of Him here, He will be ashamed of you in eternity. (Luke 9:26).

2.) *She was encumbered with service:* . Along the line, Martha was focusing more on working for God than walking with God. This is an error many of us commit so easily in our Christian journey. We focus on the gifts more than the Giver. We focus on the work rather than focus on the owner of the work. *You can only please God with your service when He is pleased with you as a person.* 
Remember, God accepted Abel first before his offering. (Genesis 4:3-5). 

You can be busy for Him and still be guilty. He desires obedience and not sacrifice. He prefers fellowship to mere religious services.

3.) *She wanted to drag other disciples into her overwhelming activities:* This is where you need to be careful. You are not meant to be in all meetings. You are not supposed to grace the occasion with your presence, if the master does not want you there.

You are not called to be in all the departments in your church. You are not meant to lead or be part of every unit or group. *That it seems good doesn't mean it is meant for you.* 

 *You cannot please God with numerous activities. Nobody likes jack of all trade anyway.* Let your eyes be single . Be a person who carries God and not just God's things. *When you value His presence more than anything else, He places things of value in your care.* 

Beware of people who want to drag you into every activity in the name of God. Your time is your life, invest it wisely.

 *BIBLE READING*

Luke 10:38-42.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Ask God for Grace and wisdom to discern what  truly matters. Pray for grace and strength to say no to both distractions and distractors in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
