Pastor Julius Nyerere at the time of his Sermon
.........…..................................
"If you make the holy spirit speak to you, you won’t be the same!"
You were born a responsible person and whatever you do should be truthful. Anyone without responsibility is not of God.
One of the responsibilities that we are supposed to fulfil is serving God. Another responsibility is Serving others. Serving the people that God gave us.
Our roles at home, roles at the workplace must also be fulfilled but the biggest role for all of us is to be in the house of the lord and serve him wholeheartedly. We should preach the gospels of our lord Jesus Christ. Jesus did his roles and fulfilled all of them by then. He left for yet another responsibility in the God’s Kingdom. We all have roles to fulfill in the kingdom of God but we often do other responsibilities other than the one for God.
Why were you born? What are your responsibilities? How many responsibilities have you fulfilled? How are you fulfilling them? All these are questions to be answered. We have to boldly and courageously go and preach the gospels of our lord Jesus Christ. We should glorify and exalt his name. It's everyone’s responsibility to see that he/she fulfils these assignments. Jesus was born for a reason. He discovered himself and did exactly what he was meant to do at that time. He could teach, motivate, encourage, inspire, love, respect and so much more.
In the book of 1 Samuel, Elkanah the son of Jeroham had two wives; Hannah and Peninnah. All in one house. He was responsible for all of them however much he could give only 1 portion to Hannah since her womb was blocked by the lord. There is that person born with responsibilities. You might have given birth to that one child, but of a reason. You might be the one to lift up your family, to serve, to pastor, to do that thing God meant for you. Just discover yourself and fulfill your responsibilities. Hannah was barren and Penninah could laugh at her. She turned to the lord and her prayer request was answered. You might plan for your forthcoming birth by saying my child should be like this or that but it is the Lord who plans all things.
Never wait. If you are a minister, minister at the very church you are in now. We serve one God. Request for wisdom from the lord to make you fulfill all your responsibilities. In the book of Luke 1:48-49, Jesus was even great before his birth. Before his future was seen. He was already responsible. Jeremiah 1:5 says ’ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations’.
Further reading.. Romans 11:29
God saw you and knew you long time and he had already planned your life. It's therefore up us to discover what God has created us for. It’s our responsibilities to find out.
We have to do something so that we are rewarded. For any job, you can’t be paid when you haven’t worked. You first work and get paid. Just do your part and God shall do others. Jesus knew what he was going to do. He is a very resourceful example to us. You are not a failure. You are a winner. The bible says you are a victor. Never change that statement. All that was spoken comes to pass. Even now, it will.
Never listen to peoples’ conclusion about your life. Never! Just Look unto God and he will change your story.
‘Rubanga ongeyi con. Itye laloyo’ (God knew you long time. You are a winner)
The Lord has good plans for me. Nobody can tempt me, discourage me, brings me down, derail me from my journey, because I still have responsibilities to fulfill! halleluhaaaaa
You might have been thrown in the toilet but God removed you. You are the only child who receives last after all other children are given. You are the one being rejected by people. You are the one blamed always for no reasons. The fact is, never quit salvation until you testify. Your time is coming.
I prepare you so that you can reach where God takes you. Never put all your trust and hope in education. Education is just to escort us. Be active, stand and play your roles. Put your hope unto the lord. Don't under look at yourself, discover who you are and execute your responsibilities.
First do God’s will. Marriage, wealth and many others will automatically follow. You are born with a responsibility. It should not die but should be done.
Sometimes, you find yourself serving God but still the simple things become hard. Be yourself and Serve God.
Do you Know that all of us can be leaders? We all have that capacity but the problem is limiting ourselves. What are you before people? The book of Ephesians tells us to be calm, tenderhearted, hoping etc. Be with the heart of Doing what you are responsible for.
God is not mocked. Do good and reap good. You reap what you sow. We can't run away as humans. We must fulfill that particular thing God gave us. It's our responsibilities to do so. You should forego certain things so that you can fully execute God’s responsibilities. You can't escape from God's responsibility. Just like Jonah. He remembered God while he was inside the fish. He tried to escape from God’s responsibility by taking a different direction but all in vein. The fish swallowed him and brought him back to the rightful direction that God wanted him to follow.
God might be telling you to minister, to pastor, to mentor, to prophecy, to serve, etc etc. Just do it. That’s the responsibility/gift/calling/talent he has given you!
God bless you so much!
