MANY CALLED, FEW CHOSEN

Scripture: Judges 7:1-8

 “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:14 (NKJV)

Alot of people answer the call of God but only a few meet the criteria of whom God will choose. It is not enough to merely answer the call of God, we must show ourselves approved for the assignment at hand. God will not send someone who has not been tried and proven to war with the enemy

BUILD GOD AN ALTAR

Scripture: Judges 6:25-32

“And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.” 1 Kings 18:30 (KJV)

 After Gideon tore down the altar of Baal, he built an altar to God and then made a sacrifice. It is not enough to tear down the demonic altar, you must also build an altar to God. This action renounces your allegiance to the devil and declares your allegiance to God. The altar of God standing in the place the altar of Baal used to be was a direct

Scripture: Judges 6:25-32

“Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to him, “… tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it; Judges 6:25 (NKJV)

It is our nature as humans to always strive for better living, hope for a blissful life and more blessings.

We are also very expectant by nature; we expect the good deeds we do to someday be repaid especially when we are in need.

DESPISE LAZINESS

Scripture: Proverbs 24:33-34
”I must work the work of him that sent me, while it is day…..”  John 9:4 (KJV)

Laziness is not a trait humans are born with. It is a bad habit that people develop from procrastination and lack of discipline over a period of time. God has created us in his likeness of creativity and fruitfulness, therefore, laziness is a trait that God does not endorse because it does not lead to the progress that will cause us to be fruitful like God wants us to be.

INVOLVE YOUR FAMILY

Scripture: Acts 10:1-8
“A devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always”.Acts 10:2 (NKJV)
