SOAP ZECHARIAH 4 NIV
S
O
A
P
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE:
ZECHARIAH 4:6 NIV
So he (the angel) said to me,
"This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:
NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT,"
says the LORD Almighty.
OBSERVATIONS:
The LORD is telling his people to rebuild the temple.
Earlier, God repeatedly tells the leaders to be STRONG.
Perhaps they were low in resources,
and high in enemies?
APPLICATION:
God is saying:
I don't want you to do this alone.
Use my power, my strength!
Let me step in and help you.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father,
when I come against a new challenge or overwhelming odds, help me to remember not to give up or "duke it out" on my own. May I be humble enough to rely on YOUR strength because you care for me and want to see me SUCCEED! In Jesus' name I ask these things,
AMEN.

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE
Zephaniah
1:18, 2:3,11
NIV
18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the Lord's wrath. In the day of jealousy the whole earth with be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live on the earth.
3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
you who do what he commmands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps
you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord's anger.
11 The Lord will be awesome to them when he destroys
all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands.
OBSERVATIONS
* What the people trusted in will not save them
*The Lord's wrath is sudden and fierce
*Actively seek the Lord- Seek his righteousness
and humility to be saved
*The people of the earth will be AWE- struck when the Lord easily destroys the objects of their worship and devotion
*People across the world will bow to the Lord, who is God Almighty!
APPLICATION
BE ON GOD'S SIDE- ABANDON WICKEDNESS!!!
PRAYER
Father God, help me to follow your commands,
not out of fear- though you are Great,
but because I love you.
May I be humble as I seek YOUR Righteousness- the goodness that YOU seed in my heart and grows to become
ACTION!
Thanks for being so awesome, and kind.
Amen.

Randy and Colene "Col" Martin have taught in the Assemblies of God's most strategic Bible School in Indonesia, STT Satya Bhakti (SATI), which is located in Malang, East Java. Randy and Col's main ministry focus is helping prepare men and women fulfill God's call on their lives to full-time ministry.
Through their teaching, small groups, personal mentoring and interaction, they are influencing Indonesian Church's future leaders, church planters, and pastors, many potential leaders from other denominations.
An increasing number of SATI graduates are involved with or are pioneering church plants to Unreached People Groups (UPGs) across the nation.
Randy and Col's input into their lives gives them an added cross cultural perspective and helps them understand the challenge of worldwide missions.
Indonesia is the 4th largest country. A Muslim nation.
They can never be sure if they have lived well enough to enter paradise...
In Christ, we don't have to worry about our tomorrows
In Christ, we don't have to worry about our tomorrows
and Eternity. We are bought by the blood of Jesus.
Jesus purchased us from damnation by giving his life.

Luke 19: 1-10 NIV
1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.' " 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." 9 Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.

Jesus changes lives one person at a time.
God has a plan and purpose for our lives.
Zacchaeus was short and hated.
People are Bios.
Sometimes we block others from seeing Jesus because we are bios about their backgrounds.
We've got to bring them in-
God will clean the Fish!!
Jesus wanted Zacchaeus to know him as Savior.
Repentance has come to this house!

JESUS:
Communion- Asking us to join HIM.
A passing of the baton!
Giving my life to bring salvation to all people.
Jesus asks: "Will you join me?"
Steven Curtis Chapman - Free
A time to remember the purpose of God!
Jesus have me life and hope. Will you give it back for others?
Bought at a price with the precious blood/death of Jesus!
You are not your own. Can't live for Self.
Remember. Remember!
That's what communion is for. ;)
We easily forget... And become tracked.
It's important to refocus every day.
You gave your life. I give my life.
Hope. Peace. Joy.
He gave me LIFE!
Now my desire is for him.
I'm Hungry for Jesus!
There is nothing like living out your purpose!
God has always provided.
Do you trust your plans or God's plan?
When I forget about me, I focus on Jesus.
When I forget about Jesus, I focus on me.
When I forget about Jesus, I focus on me.
When you remember, people LIVE. When you forget people die...
God's plans are better than ours.
What God has done in the past doesn't always prepare us for what God has for the future!
Greater things are meant to come!
Not my will...but YOURS be done.
Am I doing all I can with all I have for God's purposes?
To change lives?
He died to bring life and hope to ALL people!
By His Wounds (we are healed)
Big enough loaf for everyone -
just pass it around!

how to SOAP
how to SOAP
Choose a chapter of the Bible
Begin washing your mind in the WORD with SOAP!
Scripture:
12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
Highlight key words. Rephrase if this helps you wrap your mind around the Scripture. Remember: Listen for God's quiet voice!
12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
Observe:
1# GOD HEARS
2# IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME
3# HUMBLE YOURSELF
before you seek understanding.
Apply:
DON'T GIVE UP HOPE- GOD hears!
WAIT FOR HIS WISDOM!
GOD ALWAYS RESPONDS IN some WAY.
BE HUMBLE AS YOU LOOK FOR HIS WILL.
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
Pray:
FATHER GOD,
MAY I BE HUMBLE BUT ALSO BOLD
AS I ASK WHAT DIRECTION YOU WANT ME TO TAKE.
HELP ME TO BE ACTIVE IN SEEKING YOU!
SHOW ME WHAT WILL GIVE MY LIFE PURPOSE
AND BRING GLORY TO YOUR NAME.
I LOVE YOU,
AND THANK YOU
FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE
AND ALL THAT YOU WILL DO!
IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
