Harder for God to remake a man


Do you know that it is harder for God to remake a man than it is for Him to make him in the first place. Back in the beginning, God fashioned Adam out of the clay, and He did it in a short time. What was the secret? The secret was that the clay did not resist. If God comes along to you and says, "This is what I want you to do" and you do not rebel but you do just what he asks you to do; He will make a good man out of you, He will make a real man out of you.

"Ye must be born again, or ye cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." And the wonderful thing is, a man can be born again. I know that from personal experience. In New South Wales, Australia, in a large country town a leading businessman spent quite a lot of his time in hotels. He was rarely ever home and yet he had a very fine wife, a good Christian lady, besides some lovely children. When you looked in at that home, that outstanding feature that impressed you would be without question the bareness, hardly any furniture and yet this man was earning a large salary. An evangelist came to this town and conducted some special meetings. This man somehow or other was persuaded to attend and as the wonderful messages of Christ and His soon return were presented, a profound impression was made on his heart and mind. He surrendered his heart and life to the Saviour and a tremendous change came into his life, and in his home as well. The Spirit of God transformed that man and God remade another man.

God’s undeserved kindness to you

If we see our past, none of us deserve the salvation, out of his magnificent kindness he has saved us and He has hand picked us. ‘I will surely show you kindness.’ 2 Samuel 9:7 In Bible times, when a new king ascended to the throne, he commonly killed or banished each and every member of the historical king’s family. So, here’s the story. Jonathan, King Saul’s son, and David, whom Saul hated, have been shut friends. So close, they made a covenant to guard one every other with their lives. After Jonathan and Saul died in battle, Jonathan had one last son known as Mephibosheth. So, David had him delivered to the palace, saying, ‘I will sincerely exhibit you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will repair to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will constantly consume at my table.’ Mephibosheth used to be dwelling in Lo Debar, which skill ‘the land of nothing…the region of no bread’ (see two Samuel 9:4-5). That’s significant, due to the fact when y...

The difference between Samson and Samuel

Everyone has a choice....to become Samson or Samuel!! ‘Time would fail me to tell of…Samson…and Samuel.’ Hebrews 11:32  Samson and Samuel are mentioned in the same Scripture, but there are big differences between them. You ask, ‘Why should I be interested?’ Because as a Christian, you are like them. Each had a miraculous birth, so they’re a picture of those who’ve been born again and called to serve God. Paul writes, ‘These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition…Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall’ 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 . Difference one: Finances. Samson was greedy and manipulating, whereas Samuel practised integrity. One day Samson bet thirty Philistine princes that they couldn’t solve his riddle, saying, ‘If you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing’ Judges 14:13. Quite a wardrobe, eh? Samson’s emphasis was ‘you shall give me’. He’s an exampl...

God doesn't call the equipped…He equips the called

God doesn't call the equipped…He equips the called He equips the called. Let’s look at this throughout Scripture. If you've been in the church for more any amount of time, you've probably heard a lot of the “big names” in the Bible—people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Noah, Peter, Paul, Elijah—the guys who did big, amazing things for the Lord. Moses was there at the parting of the Red Sea. Abraham was willing to sacrifice his own son to obey God. Elijah fought against over 400 prophets of the idol Baal. Moses led God’s people out of slavery. And Paul was one of the greatest evangelists to ever walk the planet. But have you ever looked at the list of their failures? Despite their failures, God managed to use each of them in incredible ways! And the best part was, it wasn't them doing the work! It was Christ’s power in them! On our own we cannot accomplish anything. But Christ can do anything! Check out these  powerful vers...
