Do
the
Will
of
God
1Chronicles
23:4
says:
Of
which,
twenty
and
four
thousand
were
to
set
forward
the
work
of
the
house
of
the
LORD;
and
six
thousand
were
officers
and
judges:
Ecclesiastes
3:17
says:
I
said
in
mine
heart,
God
shall
judge
the
righteous
and
the
wicked:
for
there
is
a
time
there
for
every
purpose
and
for
every
work.
1Peter
1:17
says:
And
if
ye
call
on
the
Father,
who
without
respect
of
persons
judgeth
according
to
every
man's
work,
pass
the
time
of
your
sojourning
here
in
fear:
Revelation
20:12
says:
And
I
saw
the
dead,
small
and
great,
stand
before
God;
and
the
books
were
opened:
and
another
book
was
opened,
which
is
the
book
of
life:
and
the
dead
were
judged
out
of
those
things
which
were
written
in
the
books,
according
to
their
works.
Revelation
20:13
says:
And
the
sea
gave
up
the
dead
which
were
in
it;
and
death
and
hell
delivered
up
the
dead
which
were
in
them:
and
they
were
judged
every
man
according
to
their
works.
Proverbs
26:15
says:
The
slothful
hideth
his
hand
in
his
bosom;
it
grieveth
him
to
bring
it
again
to
his
mouth.
As
we
have
already
seen,
the
slothful
grieves
over
even
providing
the
basics
of
life
for
themselves.
They
feel
that
someone
else
owes
them
their
living.
This
belief
is
the
basis
of
all
communistic
and
socialistic
systems.
Matthew
21:28-31
says:
But
what
think
ye?
A
certain
man
had
two
sons;
and
he
came
to
the
first,
and
said,
Son,
go
work
to
day
in
my
vineyard.
He
answered
and
said,
I
will
not:
but
afterward
he
repented,
and
went.
And
he
came
to
the
second,
and
said
likewise.
And
he
answered
and
said,
I
go,
sir:
and
went
not.
Whether
of
them
twain
did
the
will
of
his
father?
They
say
unto
him,
The
first.
Jesus
saith
unto
them,
Verily
I
say
unto
you,
That
the
publicans
and
the
harlots
go
into
the
kingdom
of
God
before
you.
You
all
have
heard
American
preachers
say
that
Filipinos
respond
to
invitations
in
a
way
that
Americans
don't.
However,
that
only
puts
them
into
the
position
of
the
first
son
who
said
to
the
command
of
his
father:
I
go,
sir
.
However,
those
Filipinos
who
respond
to
the
invitation
and
do
not
do
the
work
of
God
make
themselves
like
the
son
who
answered
and
said,
I
go,
sir:
and
went
not
.
Thus,
he
did
not
do
the
will
of
the
Father.
- Purpose:
- What
is
God's
Purpose
for
your
life?
- What
spiritual
gifts
has
God
given
you
and
which
spiritual
gift
is
primary?
- Are
you
pursuing
God's
Purpose
for
your
life?
- Have
you
written
down
God's
purpose
for
your
life?
- James
4:8
says:
Draw
nigh
to
God,
and
he
will
draw
nigh
to
you.
Cleanse
your
hands,
ye
sinners;
and
purify
your
hearts,
ye
double
minded.
- The
purpose
of
pastors
is
supposed
to
be
to
get
people
to
spiritually
mature
so
that
they
can
use
the
spiritual
gifts
that
God
gave
them
to
help
the
church
do
the
'Great
Commission'.
This
not
only
is
preaching
to
the
lost
but
also
teaching
the
saved,
such
as
the
Abundant
Life
Mission.
This
is
also
supporting
missionaries,
who
are
away
from
home,
and
are
doing
the
'Great
Commission'.
How
are
you
using
your
God-given
spiritual
gifts
to
help
your
church
do
God's
plan?
- Plan:
- Failure
to
plan
is
a
plan
to
fail.
- Plans
have
specific
steps
to
be
accomplished
in
a
specific
order
in
order
to
fulfill
the
purpose.
- Creating
a
plan
starts
with
finding
out
what
is
required
in
order
to
fulfill
the
purpose.
Then,
creating
the
plan
requires
determining
the
detailed
steps
which
are
required
in
order
to
fulfill
these
requirements.
Next,
the
plan
must
specify
specific
actions
to
do
and
dates
by
which
the
actions
must
be
completed
in
order
to
fulfill
the
Plan
and
reach
the
original
purpose.
- Pastor
Edgar
Nono
sought
to
start
a
church
in
Bacolod
City
in
order
to
fulfill
God's
purpose
in
his
life
as
a
pastor.
He
then
sought
the
spiritual
need
and
determined
that
there
were
many
churches
which
told
people
how
to
get
saved
but
then
made
them
religious
instead
of
building
up
their
spiritual
relationship.
Therefore,
he
made
the
main
emphasis
of
Abundant
Life
Mission
to
be
on
spiritual
growth
and
God
has
provided
many
saved
souls
in
addition
to
having
people
grow
spiritually.
He
also
determined
that
Bacolod
was
too
large
for
one
man
to
reach
so
he
planned
and
found
men
to
train
to
be
spiritual
leaders
of
smaller
groups.
He
trained
these
men
and
revealed
that
the
next
step
was
to
have
an
outreach
drive
to
find
people
in
various
neighborhoods
who
needed
salvation
and
spiritual
growth
with
plans
on
these
men
leading
neighborhood
Bible
Studies.
While
I
believe
there
is
more
to
his
plan
you
can
see
that
he
had
taken
steps
that
were
put
into
an
order
in
order
to
accomplish
God's
purpose.
- Procedure:
- While
the
Plan
specified
the
gross
(large)
things
which
must
be
accomplished
in
order
to
fulfill
the
purpose,
the
Procedures
must
specify
the
detailed
steps
which
must
be
done
in
a
specific
order
in
order
to
accomplish
the
Plan.
- Each
Step
in
the
Procedure
should
specify
the
action
to
do,
what
needs
to
be
finished
before
the
step
can
be
done,
and
what
is
dependent
upon
the
current
Step
being
accomplished.
Sometimes,
this
is
accomplished
by
simply
specifying
that
steps
need
to
be
done
in
order
and
then
specifying
the
steps
within
the
order
of
their
need.
This
last
works
best
with
a
written
plan.
- When
Pastor
Edgar
Nono
made
a
Plan
to
start
a
mission
work
in
Bacolod,
he
got
agreement
from
his
current
staff
to
help.
He
then
announced
to
his
church
members,
who
live
and
work
in
Bacolod,
that
he
would
start
a
ministry
in
that
city
to
provide
for
their
spiritual
needs
during
mid-week.
He
also
explained
why
current
churches
in
Bacolod
were
not
meeting
their
needs
and
how
this
new
ministry
would
be
different.
He
then
secured
the
necessary
start-up
finances
and
had
found
a
place.
After
that,
he
found
people
to
provide
for
all
of
the
physical
needs.
He
then
chose
a
start
date
and
promoted
it
to
get
the
church
members
excited
and
involved
in
attending
and
helping
to
build
the
ministry.
There
were
other
things
involved
in
preparing
for
the
first
meeting
but
this
should
give
you
an
idea
of
what
is
needed
in
order
to
create
a
plan
and
a
procedure.
- Price:
- Luke
14:26-30
says:
If
any
man
come
to
me,
and
hate
not
his
father,
and
mother,
and
wife,
and
children,
and
brethren,
and
sisters,
yea,
and
his
own
life
also,
he
cannot
be
my
disciple.
And
whosoever
doth
not
bear
his
cross,
and
come
after
me,
cannot
be
my
disciple.
For
which
of
you,
intending
to
build
a
tower,
sitteth
not
down
first,
and
counteth
the
cost,
whether
he
have
sufficient
to
finish
it?
Lest
haply,
after
he
hath
laid
the
foundation,
and
is
not
able
to
finish
it,
all
that
behold
it
begin
to
mock
him,
Saying,
This
man
began
to
build,
and
was
not
able
to
finish.
Thus,
with
this
and
other
Bible
references,
we
see
that
God
commands
us
to
count
the
cost
before
starting
a
work,
especially
before
starting
a
work
for
God.
- There
are
physical
costs
and
spiritual
costs
associated
with
all
that
is
in
our
lives.
You
have
heard
Pastor
Edgar
Nono
repeatedly
preach
that
God
blesses
obedience
and
curses
disobedience.
You
have
heard
him
repeatedly
preach
that
we
must
suffer
in
the
flesh
so
that
we
can
reap
spiritually.
Obedience
to
God's
purpose
and
plan
for
our
life
will
cost
us
physically
but
reap
spiritual
benefits
which
we
cannot
lose.
Disobedience
may
result
in
physical
things,
but
we
cannot
take
them
beyond
death.
In
addition,
disobedience
also
results
in
spiritual
loss
and
punishment.
The
Bible
teaches
that
there
will
be
saved
people
at
the
judgment
seat
of
Christ
who
will
receive
bad
(2Corinthians
5:10-11).
These
people
are
in
Heaven
and
receive
tears
which
are
not
wiped
away
until
after
the
great
white
throne
judgment,
which
is
more
than
1,000
years
later.
In
addition,
it
is
a
lie
of
the
devil
that
we
will
all
get
a
mansion.
Only
the
people
who
put
enough
treasure
in
heaven
will
become
leaders
and
will
receive
a
mansion.
Others
will
only
receive
a
place
,
which
can
be
a
bed
space
in
a
dorm
room
for
10,000.
- The
price
for
obedience
is
great
in
the
flesh
but
the
spiritual
rewards
are
far
greater
and
lasts
forever.
The
rewards
for
disobedience
will
only
last
a
little
time
and
be
lost
at
death
while
the
spiritual
loss
is
eternal
and
can
include
1,000
years
of
tears.
- Priorities:
- Matthew
19:21;
Mark
10:21
and
Luke
18:22
tell
us:
Now
when
Jesus
heard
these
things,
he
said
unto
him,
Yet
lackest
thou
one
thing:
sell
all
that
thou
hast,
and
distribute
unto
the
poor,
and
thou
shalt
have
treasure
in
heaven:
and
come,
follow
me.
Our
life
here
is
short
and
1Timothy
6:7
says:For
we
brought
nothing
into
this
world,
and
it
is
certain
we
can
carry
nothing
out.
If
we
do
not
make
obeying
this
command
our
top
priority,
then
we
will
not
have
any
treasure
in
heaven
regardless
of
what
we
have
here
in
this
life.
- Our
priorities
must
put
fulfilling
God's
purpose
for
our
life
before
all
other
priorities.
If
we
do
this,
then
we
will
put
treasure
in
heaven
.
However,
if
we
try
to
serve
God
the
wrong
way
then
we
will
not
do
what
is
that
good,
and
acceptable,
and
perfect,
will
of
God
(Romans
12:2).
- Our
last
priority
is
to
be
the
desires
on
our
heart.
However,
we
need
to
be
positive
that
these
things
are
not
the
weight,
and
the
sin
which
doth
so
easily
beset
us
(Hebrews
12:1).
A
weight
is
not
a
bad
thing
but
is
something
which
slows
us
down
or
prevents
us
from
accomplishing
all
that
God
wants
us
to
do.
Matthew
6:33
says:
But
seek
ye
first
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
his
righteousness;
and
all
these
things
shall
be
added
unto
you.
The
word
first
implies
that
there
will
be
a
second
.
If
there
was
to
be
no
second
then
Jesus
would
have
used
the
word
only
.
This
means
that
we
can
seek
the
things
of
this
world
if
we
seek
them
to
use
for
the
kingdom
of
God
.
Paul
told
the
people
in
Rome
to
help
Phebe
earn
money
because
she
used
it
to
financially
support
the
church.
The
wife
of
Isaac,
Ruth
and
Esther
all
married
rich
men
so
that
they
could
help
God's
people.
