ALL IN PRAYER: GIVE GOD NO REST.
We cannot decide whether or not we will live or die; we can only decide what we will die for.
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest."
IN THE OPENING VERSES OF THIS CHAPTER OUR LORD DECLARES THAT HE WILL NOT REST TILL HIS PURPOSE OF GRACE IS ACCOMPLISHED.
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest."
Before He created the world’s.
Before He breathed air into Adam’s lungs.
And before sin into Adam’s heart.
Christ desire for the salvation of his redeemed existed.
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest."
Doubt His desire?
Unsure of its veracity?
Are you like Thomas?
Do you need a visual demonstration in order to believe?
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest."
Look at the cross.
There is your visual validation.
Look at the cross.
There is your veracity.
Bloody, beaten, berated, and abandoned until “It was finished.
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest."
His quenchless zeal prevents Him from staying His divine intercession.
He will not rest until His work of salvation is complete.
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest."
This text exist in our Bible to teach us that if He takes no rest then he would not have us to take rest.
He stir His people with a holy zeal aimed at accomplishing the divine plan of grace.
You who put the Lord in remembrance, take no rest, and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth.
A restless Savior call upon his people to be restless and to make the Lord himself restless.
He calls us to give Him no rest until the work is complete.
Christ determination to perform His work is not a call laziness but liveliness.
Christ determination is encouragement for our endeavors.
Without it our zeal would be without purpose.
Christ determination to perform His work is not a call laziness but liveliness.
Many of you would rightly argue that many give themselves with great zeal to causes which they are unsure of there success.
Christ determination to perform His work is not a call laziness but liveliness.
Such people labor with a zeal plagued by anxiety.
Whereas, Christians being assured that the Lord has appointed their labor, do so with confidence.
Since He wills it, we will it; and so it will be.
DEUS VULT
We go under the banner “DEUS VULT”.
God wills it and will not rest until His will is accomplished through His people.
DEUS VULT
May today’s time in the Scripture bring us all to resolve, the we will not rest, and we will give God no rest, until His work is complete and worshipped by people of every tribe, nation, and tongue.
CULPABLE COMMISSIONS
Our text provides us with three CULPABLE COMMISSIONS.
WATCHMAN
A fortified city commissioned soldiers to set watchman on the walls.
They were responsible to give alarm when a foe appeared.
A WATCHMAN IS UNDER DIVINE COMMAND
Notice their specific culpability from the Lord.
“I have set”.
We are under divine command.
A WATCHMAN IS UNDER DIVINE COMMAND
It was unthinkable for a watchman to quit his post.
In the excavation of Pompeii, a soldier was discovered standing in his place with javelin in hand.
He had not flinched amid the deadly shower which fell from the volcano that buried the city.
A WATCHMAN IS UNDER DIVINE COMMAND
This soldier was steadfast and unmovable when commissioned by his king.
How much more should those who have been commissioned by the King of Kings?
BEING A WATCHMAN DEMANDS CONSTANT CARE
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
St. Augustine desired to be found always praying or preaching.
Our service to the Lord is more than Sundays but as often as we have opportunity.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
On a dangerous sea coast where shipwrecks often occur, there was once a crude little life-saving station.
The building was just a hut, and there was only one boat, but the few devoted members kept a constant watch over the sea and with no thought for themselves went out day and night tirelessly searching for the lost.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
Some of those who were saved, and various others in the surrounding area, wanted to become associated with the station and give of their time and money and effort for the support of its work.
New boats were bought and new crews trained.
The little lifesaving station grew.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
Some members of the lifesaving station were unhappy that the building was so crude and poorly equipped.
They felt that a more comfortable place should be provided as the first refuge of those saved from the sea.
They replaced the emergency cots with beds and put better furniture in the enlarged building.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
Now the lifesaving station became a popular gathering place for its members, and they decorated it beautifully and furnished it exquisitely, because they used it as sort of a club.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
Fewer members were now interested in going to sea on lifesaving missions, so they hired lifeboat crews to do this work.
The lifesaving motif still prevailed in this club’s decorations, and there was a miniature lifeboat in the room where the club initiations were held.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
About this time a large ship was wrecked off the coast, and the hired crews brought in boatloads of cold, wet, and half-drowned people.
They were dirty and sick, and some of them had black skin and some had yellow skin.
The beautiful new club was in chaos.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
So the property committee immediately had a shower house built outside the club where victims of shipwreck could be cleaned up before coming inside.At the next meeting, there was a split in the club membership.
Most of the members wanted to stop the club’s lifesaving activities, since they were unpleasant and a hindrance to the normal social life of the club.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
Some members insisted upon lifesaving as their primary purpose and pointed out that they were still called a lifesaving station.
But they were finally voted down and told that if they wanted to save the lives of all the various kinds of people who were shipwrecked in those waters, they could begin their own lifesaving station down the coast.
They did.
WE ARE NEVER OFF DUTY
As the years went by, the new station experienced the same changes that had occurred in the old.
It evolved into a club, and yet another lifesaving station was founded.
History continued to repeat itself, and if you visit that sea coast today you will find a number of exclusive clubs along the shore.
Shipwrecks are frequent in those waters, but most of the people drown.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.
