Sermon Title: Empowered to Succeed Sermon Theme: Empowered to Succeed Main Idea: There is a fundamental law to be followed to be empowered for success; without it, life may remain unfulfilled. This sermon will explore two key principles: loving God and loving your God-given assignment. Key Scriptures The Greatest Commandment: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:36–40) A Promise of Provision: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33) Love God Completely: “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” (Deuteronomy 6:5) Commit to Your Work: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10) How to Be Empowered by God to Succeed 1. The Law of Love for God Love for God is a non-negotiable principle. It is the foundation of a successful life, as those who truly love God will not lack any good thing (Psalm 34:10). When you walk in God’s love, you become immovable, because what cannot move God cannot move you. Key aspects of love for God: Access to Divinity: The scripture states, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). Loving God means operating in His nature and carrying His divine essence within you. This connects you directly to the source of all power. It Enthrones You: God seeks those who love Him. The Lord said of David, "I have found David…" (1 Samuel 16:12–13), and David himself said, “I have set the Lord always before me” (Psalm 16:8). As you humble yourself and draw near to God, He lifts you up, for God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). It Empowers You for Wealth: Solomon loved God and was granted wisdom and wealth as a blessing (1 Kings 3:3). When you labor for God's kingdom and purposes, provision will follow you. The problem often lies in loving self more than God. Remember, "the best of God is for His lovers" (Isaiah 64:4). You Become Fearless: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear" (1 John 4:18). Even in times of economic instability, those who are rooted in God's perfect love cannot be moved by fear or lack. God Lives with You: Jesus promised, “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23). When God dwells with you, all your needs are supplied according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Summary: Without love, nothing works—not fasting, faith, or even singing. The highest form of love is demonstrated by winning souls for Christ. 2. The Law of Love for Your Assignment You will never succeed without focused love for your God-given assignment. The Bible tells us, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). When your assignment becomes your passion, your senses are heightened, and your creativity flourishes. Avoid laziness and the desire for quick, fleeting money. Instead, invest in yourself and develop your skills to achieve full success. Four Things to Avoid Concerning Your Assignment: Attempting too many things at once: The Apostle Paul said, “One thing I do” (Philippians 3:13–14). Focus is vital; being scattered is not the same as being a master of many tasks. Fatigue: When you become overly tired, your faith can diminish, and you may lose perspective. Jesus instructed His disciples, “Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while” (Mark 6:31). Make it a point to rest and avoid making important decisions when you are tired. Ignoring Distractors and Criticism: Jesus faced constant opposition from the Pharisees and Sadducees. Learn from His example. The scripture advises, “Answer not a fool according to his folly” (Proverbs 26:4). Success will always attract criticism; learn to ignore backbiters and negative voices that seek to distract you. Avoiding People Who Drain You Mentally and Emotionally: Your relationships can either multiply, add, subtract, or divide your progress. Surround yourself with those who motivate and encourage you on your journey. Final Encouragement Treasure and protect your assignment, as your divine identity is tied to it. Ultimately, not loving your assignment means not fully loving God. Be responsible in your walk with God, and stay focused on your purpose.
Amen
