Text: Luke 22:36-42
Topic: Your will be done
The message will have the following sub-heading:
Jesus knew His purpose and time
He demonstrated a divine order of leadership
He prayed for Peter
He emphasized the need for preparation
Thy will be done
Jesus knew His purpose and time
God is the only perfect planner, He doesn’t only plan events, He plans destiny and He does this with eternity in view and with everything within His control and confines, What a mighty God we serve.
God deployed many plaques to set His people Israel free from the servitude cum oppression by the Egyptians, empty-handed He had carefully told the children of Israel to prepare meals that can stay for a while, and also ask for things from the Egyptians so that they do not go empty handed Ex.3:22.What a God, what a plan.
He demonstrated a divine order of leadership
Jesus had a clearly different idea on leadership this was clearly stated in Vs:25-27.
The people of the world may call self-enthronement/dictatorship/manipulation or maltreatment leadership but this isn't so with our Jesus hallelujah.
Jesus’ idea of leadership is service, so if we are going to follow Him in words and deeds our leadership should be that of service, whether we are at home, with family, office, in the community, or at work in the church, He gave us an edge to serve others, we celebrate always our servant leader and Saviour Jesus Christ today and always.
He prayed for Peter
Satan always desires what God desires albeit for a different purpose, Satan can never have a good intention towards anyone or anything, you can not be an exemption be wary of him 1pt.5:8, this he does to get back at God for being cast out of heaven and having a designed eternal fate in hell Is,14:12, Matt.25:41, run from the devil don’t let him add you to his company to hell.
He came for Adam Gen.3:1ff, and came for Jesus Matt 4:1ff, Peter was not an exception to this ugly trend but Jesus prayed for him. If you are truly a child of God, watch and pray in the words of Jesus Christ. Matt. 26:41. May every plan of the devil for us fail woefully in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
He emphasized the need for preparation
Jesus saw that the disciples weren't ready for the evil days that they were to shortly witness, they were casual, lacking stamina, were not equipped enough, didn’t possess the doggedness and requisite spiritual temperature to confront the looming set of event hence He told them to rise up/wake up Vs.36.events
However, the sword He spoke about wasn’t physical Eph.6:17.
Thy will be done
We can take the following application from that expression in the passage Vs.42
1. That Jesus had an unbroken relationship with God throughout His voyage on earth. John 8:28-29
2. An outburst from a broken and sorrowful man.Vs.42
3. A statement of surrender. Have you surrendered your life to Him?
Please this year and beyond do not stand in the way of God, do not allow the devil and his cohorts to take you out of His will, God’s will is the best for us.
Shalom.
