Ministering Apostle Dr Lawrence Micheal
Title: The Spirit of Ownership (Part Two)
Scripture: Luke 2:43-49
"...and he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" (KJV)
John 2:17
"And hus disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up." (KJV)
God's people are always complaining, complaining for unanswered prayers, complaining of things God has not done, but have you asked yourself - Am I living the life God wants me to live?
There are things you can not get from heaven until you live your life according to the principles of God's divine instructions.
You have to apply your heart in doing what God wants you to do.
ELEMENTS OF OWNERS OF THEIR FATHER'S HOUSE: (continued)
4. They take initiative without waiting to be chased.
* Do not wait for people to tell you what to do, knowing very well what you should do.
* Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest". (KJV)
* In the grave, your wisdom, resources, and connections will no longer be useful.
* Sit down to plan the things of God, and God will plan your life.
* They volunteer willingly.
* They are always willing and never forced to.
* Psalm 110:3 "Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power..."
5. They care about church growth.
* It becomes your cry when you get to church and see empty seats, you get concerned.
* Luke 14:23 "And the Lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." (KJV)
* They get excited when the church is growing. They are excited at the lifting up of others.
* They pray for increase, they seek for souls, they follow up on them.
6. They stand with the leadership during battles.
* During times when things are not going well in church, you stand with the church. You stand with your pastor.
* They are loyal. True sons and daughters of the house.
* 1 Samuel 22:2 - Everyone who had troubles went to him, and he solved them.
* Aaron and Haul gathered themselves and lifted up the hands of Moses, and as long as his hands were lifted up, there was victory.
7. They speak "our church" not "their church".
* 1 Corinthians 12:27
* You don't observe the roof of your father's house when it's leaking. You work on it.
8. They are dependable and consistent.
* Those the leaders and pastor can trust.
* 1 Corinthians 4:2
* Can leaders share things with you?
