Title: The S-Factor!
Key Points: Satisfaction, Success and Security
Context: Examining these three areas in a Christian context, rather than from a layman’s perspective
• SATISFACTION (in the Kingdom of God)
-Are we okay with not being constantly filled by the spirit of God and having His presence in our daily lives?
-Does the satisfaction we gain when serving God replace our desire to be satisfied by God himself?
Revelation 2: 3-5
It is possible to look like a saint on the outside, but a dry and barren soul in the inside. The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him.
Busyness entraps us and it is a fact that we are constantly being distracted by the things around us. These things in themselves are not wrong, but we need to prioritize.
We should recognize the need for us to be satisfied by Jesus, this is the kind of satisfaction we should have in our lives. We were made to be close to God.
Encourage everyone to draw closer to God in devotion, prayer and worship. To allow the constant infilling of the Holy Spirit empower our lives and anoint our service, where we will begin to see how lives can be touched.
• SUCCESS (in the Kingdom of God)
-What is the world’s definition of Success?
Success in the Christian walk is sowing into eternity, sowing into the eternal things.
Luke 22:49-51
Peter was doing things he did not need to do, He did not see God’s greater plans.
-Are we too caught up with doing the things we want to achieve and the results we want to product that we neglect God’s purpose for us? [God’s purpose builds on eternity.]
-Sometimes we try to move things God doesn’t want moved, or start things He doesn’t want started.
-We do only what His will is.
When we obey God in sowing into the eternal, we know that
• We are in the right standing with God.
• It is his fight as well as ours.
-We don’t need to come up with big and loud ideas for God; we should learn to be faithful in the small things.
-Success is not just about doing things that are right/politically correct, but to be in sync with God and obeying His will and His plan.
• SECURITY
-What gives you security today?
-Does you security comes from Christ alone?
Share Personal Experience
-Trying to be in control and ensure that things fall in place and are going well.
-Finally when I grow tired, acknowledge God and want to lay things before the Lord then I realize how hard I’ve been trying to make myself feel secured, and not trust God to take care of me.
Isaiah 40:31
Waiting on God
- Waiting is not a passive position, but an active focus. (Waiting on someone is like serving someone, ensuring that needs are met etc)
- “Wait” in Hebrews draw reference to the process of making rope- STRENGTH.
-God’s promise in the verse.
