Have you ever wondered why in the world did God direct you to CBC?
Why are you a member of this church and not some other church?
Hopefully we will have these questions answered today ….
In Genesis God planted the Garden of Eden (delicate, delight) it must have been magnificent with all the flowers and trees and birds and He placed Adam and even in this Garden He planted them (look at Heb for ‘put’) in this delightful place.
This is a foreshadow, I think, of the Body of Christ of what the Body of Christ should look like to the world:
• A tranquil place
• A place of rest and peace
• A place of safety
• A place of growth
Yet, We find that in this day and age So many believers in Christ seek for
• the ultimate church,
• the most popular pastor or
• the church that has the best of everything on offer.
• Some churches will even go so as far as selling you your favorite chair,you like to sit in Sunday after Sunday, for a small donation to the building fund.
• Then on the other hand we find many believers in the body of Christ, today that are rolling stones….and
we know the age old saying: “A rolling stone never gathers moss”.
• They are for ever seeking out new ministries and have not yet found the ministry where they belong…..
A. God plants us in a ministry and church for a reason
*God is the master gardener from the beginning of time and when we look at Genesis 2:8 we can see that He planted not only the Garden of Eden for man but He also Placed or planted Adam in the garden where He fellow shipped with Adam and Eve.
*Through disobedience to God’s Word and through their own choice , Adam and Eve uprooted themselves from the Garden where God had planted them and the consequences that followed their decision has affected all of mankind (Rom 5:12):
Rom 5:12 NKJV
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.
You might think that you drifted or stumbled upon CBC one fine day, like my wife and I always thought, yet it was all in God’s design and plan.
B. We are to plant ourselves in His Word and in the body of Christ
• Feed on the Word daily
• Spend time in prayer and God’s presence
• Fellowship with fellow believers around the Word
• Discover our gift/calling is and develop it
• Use our gift to bless others
• Extend the ministry with our gift
What do trees need to grow healthy and develop a strong root system:?
• Water = The Word of God
• Sunlight = Fellowship with other believers
• Fertilizer and manure = Counsel of the pastoral team
• Pruning = Counsel of God
• Time = Staying, grounded in one church
What do trees do who have the above ………?
• They give their shade when it’s hot = Offer love to fellow believers through their gifts
• They give protection from the rain = Offer understating and prayerful ear in time of need
• They offer a place for birds to make their nesting place = Offer fellow believers encouragement and wisdom from God’s Word
• They produce fruit = The touch the world showing them the love of Christ
Some trees can actually ‘communicate’ with each other.
When Willows are attacked by web worms and caterpillars, they emit a chemical that ‘alerts’ nearby Willow trees of the danger.
The neighbouring trees then respond by pumping more Tannin into their leaves thus making it difficult for the insects to digest the leaves.
We are to be the same when we see a brother or sister being attached by the enemy, we need to pray more.
[[Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV]]
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
[[Jeremiah 17:7-8 NKJV]]
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit"
• When we are "planted" we have roots, stability, a reservoir of living water.
We are always "spreading out," fruitful and green with fresh life.
• It’s as if God has a pallet of colours, every colour there could possibly be.
And He’s going to paint you.
So He dips His brush and takes a little of this and a little of this and a little of this and a little of this and paints you.
And you’re you and you are the combination of the categories from which giftedness is drawn, blended together to be you.
• There’s nobody like it.
Nobody like you.
There are a lot of pastors, evangelists, teachers, givers, etc. but no one is cut out of the same mold.
• And it’s because
when God dips His brush into the pallet with all the options, He paints you just the way you are, you have been given a unique and special gift.
And if you don’t do what you’re called and gifted to do, it doesn't get done in the way that God designed it to get done.
[[1 Peter 4:10 J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)]]
10-11 Serve one another with the particular gifts God has given each of you, as faithful dispensers of the magnificently varied grace of God.
If any of you is a preacher then he should preach his message as from God.
And in whatever way a man serves the Church he should do it recognising the fact that God gives him his ability, so that God may be glorified in everything through Jesus Christ.
To him belong praise and power for ever, amen!
[[(NKJV)]]
10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Christ gave you that gift.
So what are you doing with the gift that He gave you?
This is from Him personally to you.
Another way to look at it is people give you gifts, right?
And you may stick the gift somewhere in the closet, but if they’re coming over to dinner, that thing comes out.
If it’s an ugly vase, it’s in the middle of the table, right?
Because you want to honor the giver of the gift.
