Topic of the Month: Making The Hole Count
Foundational Text
Mark 2:1-4 CEV
1 Jesus went back to Capernaum, and
a few days later people heard that he
was at home.
2 Then so many of them came to the house that there wasn't even standing
room left in front of the door.
Jesus was still teaching.
3 when four people came up, carrying a man on a mat because he could not walk.
4 But because of the crowd, they could not get him to Jesus.
So they made a hole in the roof above and let the man down in front of everyone.
The four people in the text ended up making a hole in the roof of Jesus' house.
Therefore, this month, I want to talk to you about making the hole count, making whatever you do count for something and don't just be out here, doing stuff just to be doing it.
BELOVED, You have too much purpose on your life to hang around with people who don't take their time on this earth seriously....You have too much purpose on your life to BE THAT PERSON who is careless with time and just randomly reacts without thinking.
No in this season...Everything you do must be done on purpose, even the hole you make or find yourself in must be made to count for something.
The four people in the text made that hole in the roof of Jesus' house count for something...That hole was their way of giving their friend the opportunity he needed, but couldn't give himself, a chance for him to heal and recover from a situation that had him bound in a position of defeat. They made that hole count for something.
Any time you're unable to stand on your own two feet for whatever reason....You're in a position of defeat. Whether you made the hole they're putting you down in or not.
FOR EXAMPLE: I believe that Joseph's brothers putting him in the pit was wrong....But I also believe he (Joseph) was partially to blame for being in the pit, trapped in a hole with no water (or food either, for that matter).
You see, Joseph had it bad watching his brothers and then going back (reporting it), telling on them to their Father, Isarel. He was their father's snitch-man and nobody likes a snitch. So, in all, they just got tired of being under Joseph's microscope, knowing he was a snitch, but not just a snitch...He was also their father's favorite and him having the dreams of them bowing to him was just the last straw and is really what set things off in a destructive way.
Genesis 37:2-24 NKJ
Still whether you were partially to blame for the pit, for the hole you found yourself in like Joseph or not...Make it count for something, don't just let it be something that you done or that was done to you with no significant reason for it in the end.
Remember all things work (didn't say it felt good or was good, but it works) together for the good....
Romans 8:28
Joseph made his moment in that pit, in that hole count for something when he made it to Egypt and was able to save many lives, lives of others who were now in some form of a pit; including his own family who found themselves in a famine pit and desperately needed food.
Genesis 50:20
Make it count.
Meditation Points:
1). In this season especially....Be careful who you hang out with or around. Bad company corrupts good character.
1 Corinthians 15:33 NIV
2). Ask God to teach you how to use your time wisely (as our limited time on this earth is no joking matter).
Psalm 90:12 CEV.
3). All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
4). There is a purpose seek it out or don't be apart of whatver it is.
Romans 8:28
5). God rescued you from that pit, from that hole on purpose for a purpose.
Somebody: You didn't just get delivered from depression for nothing.
You were delivered from that pit, from that dark hole for a purpose.
Romans 8:28
6.) There is life after the pit ...
Joseph became govenor of Egypt, second in command after the pit & prison.
Genesis 37, Genesis 41 NIV
7). It was all worth it, that hole ( in Jesus'roof) was worth it and counted for something significant in the life of that disable man, when he could now walk on his own, no longer needing to be carried.
So, BELOVED, Pray about it ...THEN find away to make that hole count .
God is on YOUR side!
Here when you need me.
Hosea 12:13 NIV
