March 24: Setting Goals/ Commitment

Commitment is what it meant to be setting Goals

Now a days Resolution are made Under Pressure.

There are some question to ourselves ….
1.) Why are we not making moral and Spiritual Impact?
2.) Why are that few read the inspired Word of God?
3.) Why are we not sharing the message of Saving Grace?

     ALL THESE QUESTIONS COME UP
BECAUSE THERE IS A LACK OF COMMITMENT

 

• Commitment to family, Neighbour Church, and Health:-
  

  Ephesians 6:5 : ⁵ Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

• CHIEF COMMITMENT : Matthew 27:37 – 38 ³⁷ Above his head they placed the written charge against him. It read,
  this is JESUS, the king of the JEWS.
  ³⁸ Two rebels against Rome were crucified with him. One was on his right and one was on his left.

   

• JESUS tells us supersede out commitment to even our families :-
  Luke 14:26-27
  ²⁶ “Anyone who comes to me must hate their father and mother. They must hate their wife and children. They must hate their brothers and sisters. And they must hate even their own life. Unless they do this, they can’t be my disciple. ²⁷ Whoever doesn’t carry their cross and follow me can’t be my disciple.

   

• COMMITMENT means Singular focused faithful, loyal attention and service to subject or person and organization :-
  Matthew 6:19 ¹⁹ “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal
  ²² “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
  ²⁴ “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
  

   

• IT is impossible to give full allegiance, GOD must be our constant choice :-
  Luke 9:62
  ⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

   

• COMMITMENT starts at SURRENDER :-
  Galatians 5 : 17 ¹⁷ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

  2 Corinthians 5 : 14 – 15 ¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; ¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

  Romans 1 : 17 ¹⁷ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

  Galatians 3 :11 ¹¹ But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.

  Hebrews 10 :38  ³⁸ Now the just shall live by faith;
  But if anyone draws back,
  My soul has no pleasure in him.”

  Habakkuk 2 : 4 “Behold the proud,
  His soul is not upright in him;
  But the just shall live by his faith.

  

• PERSONAL COMMITMENT 

  1 peter 2 : 23 ²³ who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;

  Ephesians 5 : 2, 25 ² And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

  ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

  THREE B’S

  1.) BE COMMITTED TO GOD

  JOHN 3 : 16 ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

   

  Your Reply to god

   MARK 12 :30 ³⁰ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’This is the first commandment.

  MATTHEW 6 : 33 ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

  2.) BE COMMITTED TO FAMILY

  3.) BE COMMITTED TO CHURCH / PRAYER GROUP

  HEBREWS 10 : 25 ²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

  MALACHI 3 : 8 -10

  Do Not Rob God

  ⁸ “Will a man rob God?
  Yet you have robbed Me!
  But you say,
  ‘In what way have we robbed You?’
  In tithes and offerings.
  ⁹ You are cursed with a curse,
  For you have robbed Me,
  Even this whole nation.
  ¹⁰ Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
  That there may be food in My house,
  And try Me now in this,”
  Says the Lord of hosts,
  “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
  And pour out for you such blessing
  That there will not be room enough to receive it.
