Topic: THINGS WILL GET BETTER
Memory Verse: 3 John 1:2 – Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2
Bible Reading: Colossians 3:1-17
Message: When I got married, things were very tough for my family. I had a job, but I was just a teacher in a grammar school. In those days, my wife and I used to struggle over ponmo (cow skin). We would tell each other jokingly, “That piece is too big, you can’t eat it alone; let’s cut it into two”. Those days, I recall always reassuring her, “My dear, don’t worry, things won’t continue like this”. Thank God she believed me and we held on to God. I am standing as a representative of God to tell you today that things will get better for you, in Jesus’ name.
3 John 2 says:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
I want you to take note that the statement in the Bible verse above was inspired by God to show His children that He indeed wishes above all things that they should prosper. This should assure you completely that you will prosper. He, however, attached a condition to it. The condition is that your soul must be prospering too. How will your soul prosper? I have answered that question with the Bible reading for today. You can read it again, this time around taking notes of the things that you should do for your soul to prosper.
Believe me honestly, if you live your life in line with the word of God, you will indeed experience all-round prosperity.
And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 28:2
Live holy (Genesis 17:1), be diligent (Proverbs 22:29), sow bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6), pay your tithes (Malachi 3:10) and see if God will not prosper you. Blessings will indeed pursue and overtake you.
Hymn: When Upon Life’s Billows You Are Tempest Tossed
Points: God wants His children to have all-round prosperity.
Bible in one year: John 12, John 13
Title: When Upon Life’s Billow You are Tempest Tossed.
Chorus: Count your blessings,
name them one by one,
Count your blessings,
see what God hath done,
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
And it will surprise you
what the Lord hath done..
1. When upon life's billowyou are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged,
thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings,
name them one by one,
And it will surprise you
what the Lord hath done.
2. Are you ever burdenedwith a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings,
ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing
as the days go by.
3. When you look at otherswith their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised
you His wealth untold,
Count your many blessings,
money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven,
nor your home on high.
4. So amid the conflict,whether great or small.
Do not be discouraged,
God is over all,
Count your many blessings,
angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you
to your journey’s end.
