The ONLY WORK YOU Should Be Doing For God (Part 1)

Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I have chosen Bezalel, son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts--to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship."  Exodus 31:1-5

We powerless as God's people because we do work He did not give us to do. As a church, and as individuals in the church, we should stop right now and focus on the conditions of God's work for us, individually and collectively.  There are four conditions of a God given work:

1. Be God chosen.
2. Be Spirit filled.
3. Use God given skill.
4. Do God given tasks.

Our example is a man named Bezalel.  Let's follow his example

BE GOD CHOSEN
God spoke to Moses and told Moses that  He had objectively chosen a very specific individual:  A man named Bezalel. 

Look at how specific this choice is:

Bezalel, who was the son of Uri, whose grandfather was Hur, and who was of the tribe of Judah. There is no mistaking who Bezalel was. 

Moses knew who God was talking about. 

In the same way, God has called you, the one who is reading, by your specific name, just as He called me by my specific name.  I am Olatunde, son of Edward, the son of Haze, of the Howard family.  I'm the one writing to you.  No one else.  You are chosen by your name, by God Himself, just as Bezalel was, and just as I am.  If you don't know how God has specifically chosen you as a specific and unique individual, and you have no one to bear witness to God's choice, as Bezalel had Moses as God's witness, then stop what you're doing.  It's a waste of God's time, as well as yours and mine.
