“What Will He Find When He comes?”
Greet People
What a lovely name, the name of Jesus. What a promise
of love and grace. A promise of forgiveness, spiritual
healing, revelation and eternal life. All of this and more
define the life that Christ has offered to us by faith in
Him. Eternal life!!!
Never hungry because He will be our sustenance. Never
thirsty for when you drink of Him you will never thirst.
Never sad for happy are the people whose God is the
Lord. No turmoil or confinement for He is our peace,
He has broken down every wall.
I believe there is a Divine purpose for every living soul.
It’s degree of influence is in the plan of God. Small does
not mean insignificant. God calls and equips according
to the purpose He has defined for our lives.
If you fulfill your destiny by reaching one you have
accomplished the same as one whose destiny would
reach millions. You have obeyed the Lord!!!Page 2
I want to share some thoughts today titled, “What Will
He Find When He comes?”
In Job the 42 nd chapter He had neared the end of the
great tragedy he had dealt with. Yet throughout the
process he had questioned God, received bad council,
and expressed His lack of understanding. I want to read
you the 1 st 6 verses from the Message to begin our
journey of destiny today.
Job 42:1-6 Message
1 Job answered God.
2 “I’m convinced: You can do anything and everything.
Nothing and no one can upset your plans.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this muddying the water,
ignorantly confusing the issue, second-guessing my
purposes?’ I admit it. I was the one. I babbled on about
things far beyond me, made small talk about wonders
way over my head.
Preach This Verse
4 You told me, ‘Listen, and let me do the talking. Let me
ask the questions. You give the answers.’
5 I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it
all firsthand—from my own eyes and ears!
6 I’m sorry—forgive me. I’ll never do that again, I
promise! I’ll never again live on crusts of hearsay,
crumbs of rumor.”
Preach listening to what sounds pleasing to the earsPage 3
Job is describing reactions that he had about God and
the things he was dealing with. Many of us are guilty of
one or more of the mistakes he made. Myself included.
“Ever second guessed God. Griped about things you
didn’t like. Listened to everyone else and their take on
your circumstances. Their belief and their theology.
Disregarding the word and the promises of God.”
Preach-Guilty
When you come clean and admit Job gave us the
example of what to do. “I’m sorry—forgive me. I’ll
never do that again, I promise! I’ll never again live on
crusts of hearsay, crumbs of rumor.”
Preach who you let speak into your life.
The Father by the destiny of Christ has given us the
responsibility to know His will for our lives.
Romans 12:1-2 NASB
1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice,
acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of
worship.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you
may prove what the will of God is, that which is good
and acceptable and perfect.Page 4
Let me read verse 2 a couple of different ways.
NLT
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but
let God transform you into a new person by changing
the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s
will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Message
Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you
fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your
attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.
Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly
respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always
dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God
brings the best out of you, develops well-formed
maturity in you.
The word world from the Greek has a very interesting
meaning. The word ahee-ohn’ means, “for ever, an
unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity”
Our word eon probably came from this word. The word
eon in astronomy means a unit of time equal to a billion
years.
You are wondering where this is going.Page 5
The story of Job, Romans 12:1-2 are in this amazing
collection of divinely inspired writings for this reason.
For the last several thousand years. Should Christ tarry
another several thousand years, and so on and so on.
These words are here to remind every generation that
the ability to obtain maturity in God is directly related to
how long you remain immature.
Preach-There is always going to be stuff.—- “The best
way to deal with it is pray.”
Here is an example.
Luke 18:1-8 NASB
1 Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all
times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,
2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did
not fear God and did not respect man.
3 There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming
to him, saying, ‘Give me legal protection from my
opponent.’
4 For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to
himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect
man,Page 6
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her
legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she
will wear me out.’”
6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge
said;
7 now, will not God bring about justice for His elect
who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long
over them?
8 I tell you that He will bring about justice for them
quickly. However, “when the Son of Man comes, will
He find faith on the earth?”
The last part of verse 8 is written in red. Signifying
these are the words of Jesus. It is one of the saddest
questions asked in the Bible.
“when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the
earth?”
AMP
“when the Son of Man comes, will He find this kind of
persistent faith on the earth?”
Preach Preach-What will He find when He comes?
