Who is in charge

Brethren , I will like us to think about who is in charge of our life,who is in charge of what comes out of our mouth ,who is in charge of what goes into our ears?

Genesis 39:4 – Joseph found favor in the eyes of Potiphar and he put him in charge of all he had. Genesis 39:7-12 – Potiphar's wife tried to lure Joseph to bed but he refused. Joseph remembered who was in charge , he knew Potiphar was in charge not him that’s why he decided not to touch his wife, we know the end of the story. Looking at the life of David and Saul , we would conclude that David was a beneficiary of divine grace but the truth was David never forgot who was in charge 1 Samuel 24:6-David had the opportunity to kill Saul who was after his life but he refused to kill because Saul was God's anointed. He remembered God was in charge and instead of taking matters into his hands he left it to the Holy One of Israel(God). David will always inquire from God before attending to wars because he knew the one in charge. He remembered he was a only a king of Israel but God is the Redeemer of Israel(Psalm 49:7) .Today we forget who is in charge ,we conclude God is too slow and we decide to help him. We say Heaven helps all those who help themselves, where in the bible is it written heaven helps all those who helps themselves? Isaiah 59:1 – behold, the lords hand is not shortened , that it cannot save nor his ear heavy that it cannot hear.

The One who is in charge is the One who created you, Jeremiah 1:5 – Before I formed you in the womb I knew you .The One who is in charge gave you that job,gift,opportunity. Ephesians 4:11-and he himself gave some to be apostles,some prophets,some teachers. The job you have is a gift from God so its not nice when you turn up daily for the same job late. It is important that you do the job to his satisfaction instead of complaining of managements. Proverbs 18:16-a mans gift makes room for him, and bring before great men, this is only true when a man uses the gifts , if a man decides to be lazy and sit at home I can guarantee you his gifts will take him no further than the front door of his house. If God has giving you a gift, job or opportunity use it for him and he will make you great. Matthew 25:14-30 clearly talks about the benefits of using the talents God has giving to you.

The one who is in charge is God and when he is in charge you have all to gain . Psalm 84:11 says when he is in charge he will not withhold anything good from you,Exodus 23:22-says when he is in charge your enemies will be his enemies,Exodus 19:5 – says as far as he is in charge you will be his special treasures,Psalm 4:3-says he has set himself apart for those that he is in charge of,Psalm 25:12-13 -says when he is in charge, he will teach you and after that make you prosper and your descendants shall inherit the earth,Jeremiah 7:23-says once you decide to put him in charge all will be well with you,Psalm 25:14- says once he is in charge he will show you his secret, Deuteronomy 28:1-13- says if you choose to put him charge, he will set you high above nations,blessings will begin to run after you,he will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face not your back,the lord will open to you his good treasure, you shall be the head and not the tail.

Brethren if he is in charge you will hate sin,if you are still stealing bin bags from the place of work it is obvious he is not in charge. How can he be in charge and you have an acid tongue,He cannot be in charge when you have refused to forgive and forget. Luke 6:46-but why do you call me Lord,Lord, and do not the things which I say? And what did he say 1 Peter 1:16- be ye holy, for I am holy. It is very important we live a holy life. Several years back , a cousin of mine was running for the post of the senate. He came to us , he promised heaven, he promised to help, he will change this and that. Immediately he got elected , we didn’t see him again, he was gone. No thank you or visit. During the next election he returned with the same promises to change this and that .He told the youths in the community his plans and all that , we all laughed. He forgot those who voted for him the first time, he forgot those whose votes mattered, those who were in charge , you can guess what happened in the next election . You guessed right, no one voted for him. It does not matter how many years we spend on earth , one day we will return to the One who is in charge. A day is coming when we will stand before the throne of judgment, there it does not matter if you are single or married, black or white,rich or poor,employed or unemployed .What will you do when you stand before his throne?

If you have not giving your life to Christ, its not too late brethren .John 3:16 -for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe him will not die but have an everlasting life. John 15:13-says Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way , the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.1 John 2:23 -Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:but he that acknowledgeth the Son also has the Father.

Please pray this pray with me if you want to give your life to Christ, if you have backslided Jesus wants to take you back .

Lord Jesus, I give myself to You,for You to be my only Lord and Savior. I renounce and repudiate all other loyalties, and I desire no other Lord but You. Please come into me and take control of my life.Mold me to your will and to your use. I ask that you drive out all other spirits which conflict with you in anyway. I want to belong only to you, to be subject only to you. I make this prayer to you, in your name ,the name of Jesus . Amen

I congratulate you brethren.

Brethren please forward this to all your friends and family.You could save a soul by doing this.Matthew 10:32 says whoever confesses me before men , him I will confess before my father who is in heaven.Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
