MESSAGE:
During my early years as a believer, after hearing a sermon, I immediately practiced whatever that sermon was leading me to do.
If after hearing
God’s Word with conviction and you agreed to do it but failed to do it that day, you will observe that by the following day, your commitment to
doing it would have reduced. And as each day passes without doing it, so goes your resolve.
Some of us know the right things to do to get our lives in the right order, we have heard it said
to us many times, and we even make up our minds to take action. But because we didn’t take that action immediately, the commitment to do
them faded with time. Stop delaying and postponing, you know what to do, do it now!
ACTION POINT:
Take stock of pending restitutions, repent and comply immediately.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Mark 6:1-32
Hymn 2
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His
Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Chorus:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the
skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
4.But we never can prove the delights of His
love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His
feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will
go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
