Today at the Temple | Jan 25
Game Time. Hut! Hut!!! Out of position. Out of place. Out of line.
Out of bounds. I know I’m not the only one that’s been there: Out of position with God. Sometimes, we operate in the flesh instead of the spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, Pastor Victor S. Brice delivered a dynamic message to the saints today. Pastor reminds us and shows us in the Bible that sin will cause us to stumble. It will cause us to lose. Sin is the epitome of being out of position with God. It is like a cancer. It spreads. It not only affects you, but it can affect those around you – your loved ones – your relatives and friends. As saints, sometimes we go through trials and tribulations.
It seems like nothing is going your way. It feels like your plans keep falling through, money is funny, your marriage is rocky, your children are acting up – all at the same time. You’re losing. Are you out of position? Is God throwing blessings your way but you’re not in the right position to receive them? Saints, if you find yourself out of position with God and feeling down about it, don’t give up! Never quit. Stay in the game. Ready yourself for the Great Come Back because you’re on the winning team! You will always win with God on your side. To get back in position with God, uncover the source of your defeat – confess your sins and/or shortcomings to the Lord — and get back in the game! Never give up. Stay on your mark and listen for God’s plays for your life. Remember that God is in control. He calls all the shots, and makes all of the plays. It is our position to run the plays that God has set out for us. Don’t deviate from His Word. Hearken to His voice in all things and run to the end-zone with it. You will surely win every time! That is how to experience the thrill of victory instead of the agony of defeat!
Don’t let the adversary steal the ball. Dear hearts, don’t miss your blessings by not being in the correct position to receive them.
Confess, get back in the game, listen to the Master and watch Him turn losing into winning. Touch Down!!! Then go ahead and kick that field goal with another testimony of God’s grace and mercy. Hallelujah!
How wondrous is it to know that we will always win by being in the right position with the Lord? It fills my soul to the brim to know that I am His. There are so many perks to being on God’s team. I win. Satan Loses! I can’t encourage you enough to give your live to God if haven’t already done so. Seven souls were added to the Kingdom after the Word went forth. Glory be to God!
