IN BUSINESS WITH GOD
 
The title of the message is "In Business with God"  my question tonight is Are you in Business with God?
 
First of All what is the business of God?
 
John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(KJV)
 
 
Christ wasn't even a teen when He declared to His parents I must be about my Fathers Business.
God is into saving you and me
     "        "   "       sinners
     "        "   "       turning around the impossible
     "        "   "       the business of saving people
 
Are you in business with God?
 
when we talk about the business of God we are not only talking about the salvation of others but also the securing our own salvation.
In the Bible we read  1 John 4:8 God is love       Don't you want to be In Business with a God like that
 
God created everything
 
Adam and Eve were entrusted with the world.
God told them to "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth God said to them "have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the foul of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
Then God said in Genesis 2:
 
Gen 2:15-17 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
(NIV)
 
 
Now the question comes back why would God do a thing like that?  Isn't that putting temptation in the way.
Isn't that securing their doom.
We are different from machines, man was made in the image of God.
We were made to love of our own free will.
We have a choice.
Romans 6:16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey-- whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? (NIV)
 
 
Of course those choices bring about consequences.
The Bible indicates that when God made the world man had dominion, but when man sinned that dominion was usurped by the devil.
He then took charge.
And one of the things we should remember is that because of it man now develops at birth the character of Satan instead of God because of sin Satan had become man's  Leader
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
(KJV)
 
 
David discovered the problem of man He said PS 51:5
 
Ps 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
(KJV)
 
 
 
 
You remember what Jesus said about the devil.
John 8:44
 
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
(KJV)
 
 
But thank Jesus tonight that God still holds the title deed of this world because He God created it and everything in it.
And Jesus died so that provision can be made to win man back and give Him the position he had before sin.
(are you with me?)
The only way that we can overcome sin and Satan is to accept the new birth that Jesus offers
 
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
(KJV)
 
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
(NIV)
 
You see God was originally man's leader but because of sin (devil) he gave up that position to the devil.
.  . but God through the death and resurrection of Jesus won it back.
We have a choice as to whose character we want to develop and so I ask the question again are you in business with God!
But in order for God to lead men and women they must make the choice.
But the problem with this is some people don't recognize the choice they have to make they think that there lives belong to them to do as they please.
I'm an adult I can read
 
I can hold my liquor
 
Song writer says come on and do it whatever it is do it cause it feels right.
Christians act that way.
You see God made this world, and as Creator He is also Judge.
Ecc 12:13-14 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
(KJV)
 
 
2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
(KJV)
 
 
Somebody said it's my life I can do with it anything I please to do!

You've gotta to give an account to God.
* *
 
*1 Cor 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
(KJV) *
 
EXPLAIN WHAT A STEWARD IS.
A steward is someone who manages the property of another.
Everything we have was given to us by God, and one of the reasons why we've gotta give an account is that God plans to destroy this world as we know it
 
Matt 25
 
*Matt 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
(KJV) *
 
These are not necessarily the talents God had in mind.
You see, as stewards of God we are responsible for the goods He gives us such as: *Life, time, abilities and possessions* God is the giver of all these gifts and He will ask us what we have done with these talents
*Life, time, abilities and possessions* if we have used them to enrich ourselves and satisfy our own whims and pleasures.
Or if we have used them to benefit others and ourselves in the way God would have us to.
 
1 Timothy 2:3-5  3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (KJV)
 
 
 
Matt 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(KJV)
* *
 
The greatest gift is life
 
*Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, . . .
giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.*
Our life starts with God and He sustains it but doesn't force His will upon us
 
 
 
 
* *WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?!!
*Rom 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your spiritual act of worship.
(NIV) *
 
 
 
 
He wants to save you He wants the leadership of your life.
You see this world will be destroyed, gotta be changed and so He has given us the gift of time in this life, 
 
*WE ARE STEWARDS OF TIME*
 
(have you ever heard the verse in the song When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound *AND TIME SHALL BE NO MORE) *
* *
*WE HAVE GOT TO GET READY NOW!! WITH THE TIME ALLOTTED IN THIS WICKED WORLD.*
FOR TWO MONTHS I'VE BEEN PREACHING TO YOU
 
*Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
(KJV) *
 
HE WANTS LEADERSHIP HE CAN'T TAKE US TO HEAVEN LIKE THIS,
