Be the People God wantsYou to Be

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Philippians 2:13

I. The past Romans claimed:

I am a god. She is a goddess. No one should dare to say that he /she is

not a god/a goddess. He/she is better than they.

II. The reasons are Apostle Paul warns the Jews and the Gentiles shows the scripture:

Romans 3:4- “…Let God be true, but every man liar…”

Romans 3:9- “…are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;”

Romans 3:10- “ As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”

Romans 3:11- “ There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God,”

Romans 3:12- “They are all gone of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no , not one.”

III. All the saints of Old and New Testaments are

not perfect named: Noah got drunk

Sarah was impatient Philippians 2:13 Jacob was a cheater Moses stuttered A. “ For it is God which

worketh in you both to Miriam was a gossiper and to do of his

good Gideon was insecure pleasure.” Elijah was depressed B. God qualified the

CALLED. Martha was a worrier Peter had a tempter Thomas was a doubter

IV. God doesn’t call the qualified below: A. Pastors

Deacon What about you ?

Deaconess ( next slide) Professors with PH.D Missionaries So onB. The qualification of those leaders bring

election to the congregation for choosing the qualified one as a new leader.

V. God wants to work in your life in Philippians 2:13

A. He qualifies the CALLED as YOU. He is working in your life anyway if you know

you are NOT perfect.

B. Following Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and

disputing (KJV) Pursuing the fruits of the Spirit ( Gal.5:22-23),

including love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.

C.Your respectable attitude

Your elders (men and women in I Tim.5:1-2).

Toward elders (I Tim.5:17) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of

man for the Lord (I Peter 2:13-14) Honor all men. Love brotherhood. Fear

God. Honor the king (I Peter 2:17).

D. Walking steadily from Justification to Sanctification to Glorification

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23
