UNSTOPPABLE SERVICE

SERVING THE LORD WITHOUT RESERVATION

2 SAMUEL 24:22

Araunah said to David , Let my lord the king take whatever pleases him and offer it up. Here are oxen for the burn offering and here are threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood. Oh king Araunah gives all this to the king .” Araunha also said to him” may the Lord your God accept you”. But the king replied to Araunah, “NO, I insist on paying you for it . I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing “.

2 SAMUEL 24:22

Hindi na po kailangan bilhin ito; gamitin na po ninyo sa paghahandog tugon ni Arauna. Sinabi pa nya” Mayroon po akong mga toro dito . Ito na po ang inyong ihandog. Ang paragos po namang ito at ang mga pamatok ay gawin na ninyong panggatong. Nang ibinigay na niya ang lahat ng ito ay idinugtong pa niya. Maging kalugod-lugod nawa ito kay Yahweh na inyong Diyos .

Ngunit sinabi ng hari hindi maaari; babayaran ko ito sapagkat hindi ako maghahandog kay Yahweh ng walang puhunan.

INTRO:

Do you ever get discouraged in serving

God, to the point that you feel like quitting?

The more you feel like not serving God the more we

should serve God!By doing it we leave no

space for the Devil.

IN ORDER TO MAKE OUR SERVICE TO GOD UNSTOPPABLE

WE HAVE TO SERVE GOD

IN SPITE OF THESE

10 THINGS

1. We serve God In spite of sadness or depression.

“To love others makes us happy ; to love our selves makes us lonely”

“The more sad or lonely you are all the more that you should worship and serve God!”

2. We serve God In spite of WAIT or NO answer.

God knows everything… and whatever His answer to

us trust Him that it is for our own

benefit.

When you do not agree with God, doubt your

self.

Because God can never be wrong!....we may

not agree God with all the time but still we need to follow Him.

LUKE 5: 4-5

…” Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”..Master we work hard all night and have not caught anything but because you said so, I will let down the nets.

3. We serve God In spite of want or poverty

“A man is truly poor

not when he

has nothing but when

he does nothing”

4. We serve God In spite of disappointment or failures.

“ Disappointment should be cremated ,not embalmed…because in life there are many disappointments

Genesis 6:6

The Lord was grieved that He made man on the earth and His heart was filled with pain….

If Satan will see that you are always affected by disappointments he will always see to it to disappoint you!

5. We serve God in spite of sickness and disability

REMEMBER:

Jesus when He was at the cross suffering because of our sin, He did not quit!

Don’t think about what you don’t have.

Praise God for what you have and He will use it for His glory.

6. We serve God in spite of questions and dissatisfaction

Not all the time you are satisfied…

7. We serve God in spite of inconvenience

If you want your life to be better …you have to embrace change and whenever there is change , there will be inconvenience…

8. We serve God in spite of friction or hated arguments

9. We serve God in spite of obstacles…

REMEMBER:

Yes! you may be able to come up with a VERY GOOD excuse but it is still the same your work is still undone.

10. We serve God in spite of lost

..people die, but if we believe that there

is heaven…

this will not cause us

any damage at

all!

“NO, I insist on paying you for it . I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing “

- 2 Sam. 24:24

Those who

sow in tears will

reap in joy!

Malachi 3:17-18

“They will be mine”, says the Lord Almighty, in the day when I

make up my treasured possession . I will spare them , just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves

him. And you will see the distinction between the

righteous and the wicked between those who serve God

and those who do not
