DON’T TAKE HIM FOR GRANTED 1


                      



TEXT: MATT 21:33-40, MARK 12:1-9

One of the profound signs of the end time is taking God for granted “for many shall come (A) IN MY NAME saying (B) I AM THE CHRIST and shall deceive many” Matt 24:5 (emphasis mine),(as if Christ himself is dead, what a pity) what also can be derived from the parable of Jesus in the text for this study is the all important lesson never to take God for granted may we receive the grace never to take God for granted in our lives, careers, family and ministry in Jesus name
A brief on the text (KJV) shows in Matt two sets of servants comprising of numbers not given were sent before the son of the owner of the farm was sent while the passage in mark states three different servants (one at a time) were sent before the son of the farm owner was sent. The owner was painfully taken for granted servants beaten, humiliated and in some instances killed son also killed.

The lesson is broken into four parts viz:
Who is HE?
Why do people take God for granted?
How do people take God for granted?
Aftermaths of Taking God for granted.

(A)Who is He?

1.      Alpha and Omega: Rev 1:8, 22:13 says I am the alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, that which was which is and which is to come.
2.      Saviour and Judge: It is either the son of God is your Lord and savior now Matt 1:21 and she shall bring forth a son and thou shall call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins. Or he will be your judge latter Rev 22:12 behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give everyman according to his work shall be.
3.      Creator: Gen 1:3-27 clearly tells us the creative activity of God, all that were created were done by Him.
4.        Omni ALL: all: powerful, knowing, present same time everywhere the list is endless. Psalm 62:11 God has spoken twice have I heard that all power belongs to God. Matt 28:18 and Jesus came and spake unto them saying all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
