MESSAGE TITLE : COMMITMENT
Referral Scripture: Luke 14:16-20(KJV)
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a
great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to
them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18 And they all with
one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a
piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I
pray thee have me excused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and
therefore I cannot come
A church you’re attending will never go higher than the
level of your commitment. Even a ministry that you participate in cannot rise
above the level of your commitment, if you’re in a worship team it will never
rise above your level of commitment, also if you ushering – the ushering
ministry will never rise above the level of your commitment.
Commitment is not only about coming to church on Sundays but
also being present in other church meetings like weekday prayers, committing
with our time, our finances and everything that concern the church without
finding excuses. Like when it raining you find it as an excuse not to attend a
church gathering or meeting. The church will never grow if it members are not committed
to the church. The thing which has become a problem with believers is excuses.
Referring to the main scripture we can see in this parable this man organised a
great feast or banquet, did everything and invited people to come, all they had
to do was to come but they were full of excuses.
