Ministry
John 3:22-
Point in time where Jesus and John are both baptizing
John’s disciples get in a dispute about purification.
May mean the connection between baptism and ritual washing.
Some how this conversation led to them asking about the decline of the ministry may be (if your argument is right where are the crowds)
Like many churches they were concerned about numbers
John resists the temptation to make his ministry to be all about him.
How often would people try to be the center of attention.
John had a big ministry and was in the lime light but now Jesus is.
All gifts or anointings come from heaven.
Think of talents ministers or singers have.
God is the source.
Stay nervous about your ministry so as to let God in control.
All gifts or anointings come from heaven.
He is the friend of the bride-groom.
Not the main attraction.
The best man announces the arrival and after that fades in the shadows.
Wedding image best depicts God’s love
Jesus first and second coming are likened to an excited lover to get his bride.
This is the church a special love
Back on John: we must increase we must decrease
We are to be “living sacrifices” even our own families are not to be chose above God.
Prosperity gospel backwards preaching that God is here to make us happy when really we are here to exalt him and make our lives sacrifical
Its all about Jesus
How many people say “I am not ready” this translates as “I love other things more than God”
We submit ourselves fully to him: the spritual exercises are an example of that
Increasing and decreasing implies increments.
Overtime as a Chrisitan there should be the developement of being more “sold out” to God.
When we come for worship we decrease he increases
In our ministries the focus shoule be on him not numbers not us as the superstar
Jealous preachers of other preachers make is about them and not the word.
Saul and David
Churches jealous of other chruches because of our view of success
Just like am a human interpreator of God’s word.
I have not been to heaven.
I do not have direct revelation from God.
I recite from the word.
Jesus speaks directly as God “one having authority”
Jesus didn’t quote other rabbis
Quote scripture but that is divine revelation from God
When going against spirits he just commands
We pray in “Jesus name” because authority has been given to us
Name it claim it crowd put the authoritys in their “faith” as if they can force God’s hand.
This makes it in their name.
When a miracle happens through prayer it is not OUR spritual excercises “fasting, prayer, etc” but God’s work we operate in his name so he gets the glory.
Our faith and petition can move his hand but it is as a humble servant asking a mighty king not a demanding child.
Imagine that image
Peter said is was not by his righteousness that this man was made whole
Sons of Scevea took uses Paul because they did not have their own relationship with Jesus
Accepting the words of Jesus confrims what God has spoken
Switches from believe to obey.
Faith and works.
Full dedication to him.
Decreasing in our lives and let him increase
