TAKE UP THE SPIRITUAL BURDEN

Scripture: Matthew 9:36


Topic: Take up the spiritual burden 

                                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                          

“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd”

 

                                                                                                                   Matthew 9:36

 

The spiritual burden is a different type of burden but it is an important one. God will only use you if you have a burden. If there is no burden, God will not use you. For example, if you want to heal the sick and cast out devils you need to have a genuine burden to have the miracles of healing.

 

 

I had a burden to preach and teach. Preaching and teaching bring deliverance. Preaching and teaching are powerful. I emphasize the Word of God whilst others emphasize other things. You cannot emphasize the Word of God unless you believe it is a powerful tool of deliverance.

 

Compassion is a key starting point for all ministries.

               

Jesus had a burden

Jesus was moved with compassion when he saw he sheep without a shepherd.

 

     “But when he saw the multitudes, HE WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION ON THEM, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd”

                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                    Matthew 9:36

 Jesus was moved with compassion when he saw the multitudes. 

 

 

“And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, AND WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION TOWARDS THEM”

                  

                                                                                                 Mark 6:34

 

No one can minister effectively without a genuine burden. Jesus’ burden was to keep all that the Father had given him. The reason I know this was a burden on him was that he kept on repeating this particular statement.

 

“… of all which he hath given me I should loose nothing”

                                                                                                John 6:39

 

“…. those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition”

                                                                                                  John 17:12

 

“That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, of them which thou gavest me have I lost none”

                                                                                                 John 18:9

                                

People who don’t have a burden for souls, are often motivated by money, fame, power or some other ulterior motive.

 

 

 Paul had a burden


 Apostle Paul’s desire ( burden ) for Israel was that they might be saved. 

 

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.”

                                        

                                                                                       Romans 10:1

 

Paul had great heaviness and sorrow in his heart for his people.

 

 

“I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have GREAT HEAVINESS and CONTINUAL SORROW in my heart.”

 

                                                                                        Romans 9: 1-2

    Lord lay in my heart a portion of the burden You have for the lost and perishing souls that made You leave heaven to come down to earth to die for our redemption. Fill my heart with love and compassion for the ones You died for

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
