ODM DAILY 7 September 2022 – DON’T QUIT! FOLLOW HIS PATTERN!

TOPIC: DON’T QUIT! FOLLOW HIS PATTERN!

Welcome and let’s have a quick look at Jesus’ background because His life sets the pattern for our walk with God. Jesus was born in the tiny town of Bethlehem in poverty. He was raised in Galilee, and no one believed that a man of God could come from there (John 7:52). He was raised in Nazareth.

 

The inhabitants of that city were considered to be wicked and worldly by the Jews; so people migrated from it. He had no family connections. He had no money. He had no support from the religious leaders of the day. Jesus was considered to be “a nobody,” from nowhere, who would amount to nothing! His parentage was questioned (John 8:41) by His enemies.

His followers were the ordinary people of society! His own people rejected Him. He was despised and rejected by men. The Romans (the government in power) eventually nailed Him to a cross and buried Him in a tomb. His followers preached His resurrection, but most people ignored their message and considered them fools for following a dead man. Even the Lord’s message was hard to swallow. For some it still is, because it goes against our human nature. Jesus said to get, you have to give away what you have.

He told people to love their enemies. He counselled men to turn the other cheek. He spoke of walking the second mile. Jesus arrived on earth in very insignificant and ordinary circumstances. He was the mustard seed that God “planted” on earth, and it was from this humble beginning that the Kingdom of God was founded. He completely shattered the expectation of what the Messiah was going to be.

God introduced His Kingdom to the world in the smallest, most humble manner imaginable! But that is how He operates. He uses the small, humble, vulnerable and weak to achieve great things for His glory. So no matter what you are going through, always remember that it was the pattern from the LORD; from SMALL to BIG! From REJECTION to SELECTED! From ZERO to HERO! So, hold on and hold out!
