WHAT GIVES EXCITEMENT TO GOD'S PEOPLE
INSIDE THE LOCAL CHURCH?
( Psalms 122: 1 ) [1] I was glad when they said unto
me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
a. The good example of the Church that are always excited to be is the
Jerusalem Church. They learned everything
from the Lord Jesus Christ during earthly Ministry of the Church.
( Acts 2: 41-47 ) [41]Then they that gladly received
his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three
thousand souls.
[42]And they continued stedfastly
in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in
prayers.
[43]And fear came upon every soul:
and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
[44]And all that believed were
together, and had all things common;
[45]And sold their possessions and
goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
[46]And they, continuing daily
with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat
their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
[47]Praising God, and having
favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as
should be saved.
a. They are excited for many precious souls being saved in their community.
( Acts 2:41 ) Acts 2:41Then they that gladly
received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them
about three thousand souls.
* They are excited in their bible
lesson during their Sunday School.
( Acts 2: 42-24 ) [42]And they continued stedfastly
in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in
prayers.
[43]And fear came upon every soul:
and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
1. TO KING DAVID, HIS EXCITEMENT IS WHEN OTHER CHRISTIANS
WILL TELL HIM LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
( Psalms 122:1 [1] I was glad when they said unto
me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
a. Because they are excited to worship the Lord in spirit and truth.
( John 4:22-23 ) [22]Ye worship ye know not what:
we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
[23]But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
2. TO JOSHUA, HIS EXCITEMENT IS WHEN ALL THE MEMBERS OF
HIS FAMILY ARE ALWAYS READY TO SERVE THE LORD.
( Joshua 24:15 ) And if it seem evil unto you to
serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which
your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of
the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve
the LORD.
3. THE WORD GOD WE HEARD FROM PREACHING OF GOD SERVANTS
BRINGS EXCITEMENT TO THE CHRISTIANS.
( Acts 20: 7 ) And upon the first day of the
week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them,
ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
a. The blessings of hearing the preaching of God's words.
( Psalms 1:1-3 ) [1]Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2]But his delight is in the law
of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3]And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
( Psalms 19:7-11 ) [7]The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
[8]The statutes of the LORD are
right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening
the eyes.
[9]The fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
4. THE PRECIOUS SOULS BEING SAVED IN OUR EVERY MONTH
EVANGELISTIC MEETING BRINGS EXCITEMENT TO THE CHURCH.
( Acts 2: 41 ) Then they that gladly received his
word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three
thousand souls.
Even the legions of Angels are excited and rejoicing for precious souls
being saved.
( Luke 15: 7 ) I say unto you, that likewise joy
shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and
nine just persons, which need no repentance.
The Church in Antioch are rejoicing for many precious souls being saved
in their soulwinning effort in their Community.
( Acts 11: 20-24 ) [20]And some of them were men of
Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the
Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
[21]And the hand of the Lord was
with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
[22]Then tidings of these things
came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth
Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
[23]Who, when he came, and had
seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of
heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
[24]For he was a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
5. THE SOON COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL BRING US
EXCITEMENT IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( 1 Thessalonians
4:13-18 ) [13]But I
would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14]For if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him.
[15]For this we say unto you by
the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the
Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16]For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17]Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18]Wherefore comfort one another
with these words.
6. SPIRITUAL REWARDS OF THE CHRISTIAN WILL BRING EXCITEMENT
TO CHRISTIANS.
(Proverbs 28:20) A faithful man shall abound with
blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
Reward for righteous and faithful Christians.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 [7]I have fought a good fight, I
have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
[8]Henceforth there is laid up for
me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me
at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his
appearing.
The for faithful runners in their Christian life.
(1 Corinthians
9:24-25 ) [24]Know
ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So
run, that ye may obtain.
[25]And every man that striveth
for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a
corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
Crown of life.
( James 1:12 ) Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the
Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which
thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that
ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Crown of glory
(1 Peter 5:4) And when the chief Shepherd shall
appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
God bless you all always *
