If we are to experience God in our Life we must become less self centred more God centred
Self centeredness says: ‘I am only interested in what I want’
Self centeredness produces every kind of trouble in our lives
When God created Mankind he put them in a perfect Garden, in a perfect World
God said they could not eat from the forbidden tree Genesis 2: 16-17
Being tempted, they became self centered and rebelled against God Genesis 3: 1-5
Self centeredness brought…
Unbelief Genesis 3: 6
Separation from God Genesis 3: 8-9, 23
Pain in their bodies Genesis 3: 16a
Marriage problems Genesis 3: 16b
Life-long struggle to survive Genesis 3: 17-19a
Eventual death (for all Mankind) Genesis 3: 19b
God centeredness says: ‘I am only interested in what God wants’
God centeredness produces every kind of blessing in our lives
Illustration: Abraham was just like us
Self centered – ‘I am only interested in what I want’
But, God spoke to him Genesis 12: 1-3
Abraham became God centered – ‘I am only interested in what God wants’
Genesis 12: 4a ‘So Abraham left…’
Romans 4: 11 ‘Abraham is the spiritual father of all believers’
Romans 4: 13 ‘God promised to give the world to Abraham’
This is how you experience God!
Philippians 2:13 ‘For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him’.
