Topic: WHAT IS YOUR MEAT?

Memory Verse: John 4:34 – Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. John 4:34
Bible Reading: Luke 2:40-49

Message: How I wish that men would know the purpose of God for their lives and run with it with so much vigour that it becomes like food to them. I don’t know what I will be doing on this earth if I am not fulfilling the purpose for which He brought me into this world. Jesus Christ said in our memory verse today that His food is to do God’s will.

If you have not asked God why He sent you to this world, please ensure that you do so today and don’t stop asking until you get a clear answer.

If you are determined to ensure that His purpose for bringing you into this world is fulfilled then it will show in the choices you make. If you are so focused on doing His will that it is like food to you, you will make some very bold choices in order to fulfil that purpose. When I made the choice of leaving my job as a lecturer to become a full-time Pastor over a Church that could barely pay me any salary, people said I was crazy, but the will of the One who sent me was my meat so I never turned back. Now that God’s will is coming to pass and His glory is beginning to shine, those people who thought I was crazy are now glorifying God for my life.

Jesus Christ did not only say that His meat is to do the will of the Father, but also to finish the Father’s work. Some start off doing the will of the Father, but along the way that zeal wanes. They find meat in something else other than the will of God. The reason for this is that the sent has lost touch with the sender. I pray that God will give you the grace to finish strong in Jesus’ name. If you are still very much in touch with the one who sent you to this world, in the middle of your conversations, He will keep encouraging you and restating His will for you. You will come out of every encounter with Him with a determination to do more for Him.

The will of God for my life has remained my meat for over 40 years now. He keeps showing me new dimensions of His will. Whenever He tells me something new, my strength is renewed and I can move on. If you remain in touch with the One who has sent you, He will give you the grace to finish His work.

Hymn: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way
Points: Are you so passionate about God’s will for your life that it is as essential as food is to your survival?
Bible in one year: Ezekiel 17, Ezekiel 18, Ezekiel 19

Title: I’m Pressing on the Upward Way.
Chorus: Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground..

  1. I'm pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

  2. My heart has no desire to stay 

Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground.

  3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,

To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.

  4. I long to scale the utmost height,

Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song, while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

  5. Lord, lead me up the mountain side

I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
