Part 3 "CROSSROADS"

It's Comeback Time
Exodus 3:1-12


What do you know about failure? Failure could cause us to doubt, become disappointed, make us want to quit, and it makes us wonder where God was when we needed Him. How about working for years and during the last year before retirement, you have been told by the doctors that you only have six months to live. Now that the doctors have given up on you, will God? God may not change your situation the way we want Him to but He will change it to His glory.

Stop Writing Yourself Off. It's not over yet. God has the final say on whether your six months really means six month or does it mean six years or more. No matter your circumstance, we must get to the point where we stop doubting ourselves. While we are still alive we have to know that God still have a plan for us. We have to stop sabotaging what God has to do for us.

Look at Moses. He murdered a man and had to flee because he knew they were going to take his life. (Exodus 2:12) Moses was up but after his crime he was down. Forty years had past when God decided it was time for Moses to complete His plan. God didn't say, "Well, I was going use Moses, but he killed a man". God never brought up Moses past. God knows all about us and He can still send us.

Separate Yourself From the Blockers. Be careful who you run with. Whatever is coming between you and God let it go. Get rid of everything that is blocking your blessing. God is ready for you when you are ready to get serious about serving Him. It is because we are not serious about God that causes us not to serve faithfully. What is getting in the way of you and God? God's Word it is clear that we should follow Him: "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me" Matthew 16:24

The Success Doesn't Come Through Self. Let God bless you on the inside so that His work will show up on the outside. It's Comeback Time. It time for us to stop doubting and start believing. It's time for us to start doing and stop sitting. It is important that we all understand that everything in our lives matters to God. Do you believe that God really care? "You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? (Psalm 56:8) God don't want your ability, He needs your availability. It's not about your credentials; it's about your commitment.
