Sermon Title: DON'T MISS THE POINT - The Point Is To See Jesus In It And Through It
Scriptures: John 9:1–7, Mark 7:31–37, Mark 8:22–26, Luke 17:12–14,
Matthew 15:24, Genesis 32:22–32, 2 Kings 6:1–7, Matthew 4:23
1 John 4:1–3
Most Christians claim to have a big God, but when God does big things for us, if it is always someone in the church or a believer who criticises it, that is a crime committed by Christians.
In the versesJohn 9:1–7, Mark 7:31–3, 7Mark 8:22–26 , we see the works of Jesus Christ being demonstrated in controversial ways. Jesus used things such as mud and saliva, methods that might even have led people away from Him. The miracles proved that He was a miracle worker, but people became too focused on the method rather than the miracle.
Every miracle that Jesus performed was done in a different way. Yet, in all these ways, God was glorified and not men. These miracles strengthened the faith of everyone in Him and drew people's faith towards Him. The point was never the method. The point was Jesus.
We tend to focus more on the method and not the Spirit. The Bible says, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Therefore, if you are not led by the Spirit of God, you can miss what God is doing. It is us who miss when we fail to see when and how God is working.
You cannot box the things of God. You can only miss God through spiritual ignorance. The enemy has an upper hand in the lives of Christians when he gets us to focus on the physical instead of discerning what God is doing spiritually. We need to be led by the right Spirit. If we are led by the Spirit of God, we will not miss.
In Luke 17:12–14 and Matthew 15:24, Jesus simply spoke words in these cases, and they were solved. Other times, He used different methods.
We often think that we can read Scripture and not become it, but we are supposed to live the Word, just as Jesus came in the flesh and became the Word. People need to see the Word of God through us.
Jesus may have prayed in a peculiar way, but it does not change who He is. He is still the Healer and the Saviour.
Don't ever reach a point where you think you can predict what God is going to do. You might think God will speak to you in the same way you expect Him to, but God is bigger than our expectations. Our responsibility is to discern by the Spirit of God and not be ruled by emotions.
If you don't have the Spirit of God, you might not know it until you speak against what is of God. If you speak what is against God, you don't have the Spirit of God.
This is why 1 John 4:1–3 tells us to test the spirits. The enemy tries to discredit the works of God. Refuse to be used by the enemy.
We live in a generation where we focus on the method and not the Spirit. We miss what is of God because we have boxed God and tied the hands of God.
We need to position ourselves to encounter God. Just as Moses prepared himself when God told him to remove his shoes, and he did.
In Genesis 32:22–32, we see Jacob wrestling with God and refusing to let go until he was blessed. If you cannot see God, you can never know when to stop or when to carry on fighting. We are becoming a generation where we don't wrestle.
In 2 Kings 6:1–7, we see the axe head being made to float. What made the impossible possible was the Spirit of God. We need to recognise the Spirit of God.
God can use different methods, but the glory must always return to Him.
Jesus' arrival into Jerusalem and His arrival into the world were both very unusual. He came in a way that people would not necessarily have expected. This shows us something: Jesus can come in any way in your life.
We tend to say, “God should do something new in my life,” but we have already told ourselves what we want that new thing to look like. We ask God to do something new, but then we give Him the method.
Whenever there is a move of God, we sometimes choose not to see it, no matter how much God is doing. That is how ungrateful we have become. Let us not miss the point of whatever God is doing.
We often take glory from God and give it to ourselves. But the point is Jesus.
The point is that Jesus is in it and can be seen through it. Every miracle may have had a different method, but they all glorified God.
Our responsibility is to discern by the Spirit of God and not to be ruled by our emotions. Don't miss the point.
