Message for March 3, 2024 from Pastor Shirley

Matthew 21:2-3 “Jesus sent two disciples with these instructions: “Go over to the village across from you. You’ll find a donkey tied there, her colt with her.  Untie her and bring them to me. If anyone asks what you’re doing, say, ‘The Master needs them!’ 

Jesus needed a donkey to fulfill a prophecy concerning him several hundred years before he spoke to the disciples that he had need of one. Jesus knew where the donkey was and her colt with her.  We have been created in His image and likeness and how much more He has need of us.  

Some people think because God is God, He can just do anything on earth.  He needs the cooperation of man to execute His plans on the earth. Our obedience moves the hand of God to do his will on the earth.

God needed Mary to give birth to the Savior into the earth.  God needed Moses to bring Israel out of the house of bondage.  God needed Elijah to speak to the dry bones of Israel.  God needed Paul to go to the Gentiles. 

What does God have need of you for?  What is the assignment He has given to you? 

Philippians 2:13 “For it is God who is at work within you, giving you the will and the power to achieve his purpose”.
