IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY

TOPIC: IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY
TEXT: ROMANS.10:1-2
Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 

Introduction: Knowledge is defined as the information, understanding and skills that you gained through education or experience. Based on our text above, we can see that the Isrealites had zeal for God but their zeal according to Apostle was not based on knowledge. I therefore, admonish you my brethren that there is a need for you to channel your zeal towards the things God through knowledge. Do not do things because other people are doing them but do things according to knowledge. Here, i want to let you know that God is faithful and from generation to generation He remains God.
I want to challenge you to take responsibility for your life in the year to come by acting on the word of  God. I mean,you should be the doer of the word not hearer alone.
I want to introduce you to some principles that i know will always deliver because God has set them in motion right after creation.
Principles are predictable anytime and any day. As you put these principles to use, you will be surprise at the kind of results they will deliver to you.
1.WHAT YOU SAY WITH YOUR MOUTH: Numbers.14:26-30" The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:  "How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites. So tell them, 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very things I heard you say:  In this desert your bodies will fall — every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun"
Brethren, we can create our world by what we say with our mouth. God is listening to hear you say something about your life, marriage, business e.t.c
Do u know that you can save yourself from that situation by what you say? Rom.10:10 says with the heart a man believed but with the mouth confection is made unto salvation. You can save yourself from that unpleasant situation you find yourself. No wonder,Prov.18:21 says life and death is in the power of tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit therein. Rom.4:17; Ezek.37:1-14. Send your word in the direction you want your life to go.Prov.6:2 says you can enslave yourself by what you say. Beloved, change your word and your world will change for the best.
2.THE KIND OF SEED YOU SOW: Gen.8:22 says as long as heaven endures, seed time and harvest ...... shall not cease. Gal.6:7;Prov.3:9. Means that sowing and reaping will be as unchangeable and predictable as day and night. Which means that every action has a predictable consequence. As long as the law of gravity works,then the law of sowing and reaping will always work. Brethren,you have another opportunity to express your zeal through knowledge and determine what you want for yourself through your seed.
3.YOUR THOUGHT:Prov.23:7 says as a man thinks in his mind, so is he.
There is saying that if you want to change a man, change his thinking because a man is literally what he thinks, his character being the sum of all his thoughts.
As the plant springs from, and could  not be without the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them.Thoughts in the mind has made us what we are.A man's mind may be liking to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must and will bring forth. All am saying in essence is that you should think thoughts that will redirect your life positively.For your thought will produce for you an harvest whether positive or negative.
4. DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD: Ps.37:4 says delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desire of your heart. Another principle that will deliver your heart desires to you is when you make the Lord and the things of God your delight.
Delight means to give great pleasure, please greatly, honor the lord. This principle will make all things to walk together for your good all because you love God.Look unto God and make Him your priority.
I look forward to hearing your testimony as you put these principle to work.
SHALOM!
