HE POWER

INTRODUCTION:

PAUL BEGINS PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER 1 WITH A PRAYER TOWARDS THE SAINTS THAT’S IN PHILIPPI, FOR THE RELATIONSHIP THEY SHARE WITH EACH OTHER IN THE GOSPEL.

PAUL DID NOT STOP MINISTERING BECAUSE HE WAS IMPRISONED, RATHER IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL.

IT IS GOD WHO OPEN OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR LIVES TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.

PAUL SAID IT BEGINS WITH CONFIDENCE. WHAT IS CONFIDENCE? THIS CONFIDENCE PAUL IS SAYING CENTERS AROUND YOUR PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING TO GOD,KNOWING THAT WITH CERTAINTY THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SECURE.

PAUL ASSURES PHILIPPI SAINTS.

THAT GOD HATH BEGUN THE WORK.

THAT THE WORK IS GOOD.

THAT GOD WILL COMPLETE THE WORK.

A. THAT GOD HATH BEGUN THE WORK.

Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

HOW DID GOD’S WORK BEGIN IN US? IT WAS THE MOMENT WE ACCEPTED JESUS AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. FROM THERE A RELATIONSHIP WAS ESTABLISH AND HIS SPIRIT WAS GIVING TO US AS A GIFT.

THE ONE THING PAUL WANTED THE PHILIPPI SAINTS TO KNOW THAT THIS LIFE IN US BEGIN WITH GOD AND WILL END WITH GOD.

IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NURTURE GOD’S SPIRIT IN US AND TO CONFORM TO LIFE OF GOD THAT IS IN US.

WE NEED TO KNOW THAT GOD IS WORKING IN US RATHER THINGS ARE NOT GOOD IN OUR LIVES RATHER SICKNESS, HARD ACHES, OR PAIN . GOD IS STILL AT WORK IN US.

Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

B. GOD’S GOOD WORK?

WHERE THE GOOD WORK BEGIN IS IN YOU. THE MOMENT THE LIFE OF GOD ENTERED INTO YOUR LIFE, THE WORK BECAME GOOD IN YOUR LIFE. THIS WORK IN US ARE PROGRESSIVE BRINGING US CLOSER AND CLOSER TO GOD.

THE GOOD WORK IN US IS THE HOLY LIFE OF GOD THAT SEPARATE US FROM THE UNGODLINESS.

THE GOOD WORK IN US IS THE LIFE GOD , WHICH SAID LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE. IT WAS THE LIFE THAT IS FRUITFUL .

GOD’S GOOD WORK HAS A COMPLETION DATE AND THAT’S WHEN CHRIST JESUS RETURN.

THE GOOD WORK IN US HAVE TO DO WITH GOD, BUT OBEDIENCE WILL GIVE US THE APPROVAL OF GOD.

CAN YOU TELL THERE IS A GOOD WORK IN YOU, THEN HE SHOULD BE WORKING IN YOUR PRAYER LIFE, IN YOUR PRAISE, IN YOUR WORSHIP, IN YOUR LOVE LIFE.

GOD’S GOOD WORK IN YOU IS THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.

John 6:28–29 “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

C. GOD’ COMPLETION OF WORK.

WE CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT WHAT GOD STARTED HE IS ABLE TO FINISH, AND HE IS MORE THEN WILLING AND COMMITTED TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY IN OUR LIVES.

GOD WILL DO IN YOU WHAT’S NEEDED IF YOU ALLOW HIM TO WORK HIS PLAN IN YOUR LIFE.

THE WORK IS NOT ACCOMPLISH UNTIL JESUS CHRIST RETURN.

Titus 3:5 “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;”
