By Pastor Stuart Davids | Seguku Worship Center
At Seguku Worship Center, we believe
that God’s Word is living and relevant for every season of our lives. In this
message, Pastor Stuart Davids continues his teaching on “What Does the Lord
Require of Us?” (Part 2). He highlights how the enemy is fighting
marriages, the importance of walking in the fear of the Lord, and the call to
live a life worthy of our heavenly calling. This sermon is both a reminder and
a challenge to finish well in our walk with Christ.
The
Enemy’s Attack on Marriage
Marriage, family, and faith are
under attack today more than ever. As Pastor Stuart opened his sermon, he
reminded us of how the enemy seeks to destroy marriages. He shared a real
encounter with a couple whose marriage conflict had begun to affect them
physically. This is a wake-up call: as believers, we must intentionally cultivate
healthy marriages in Christ.
God
Has a Plan and Destiny for You
No matter what you are facing, don’t
give up! God is faithful and just. He is still transforming lives, even as we
approach the final months of this year.
“You crown the year with a bountiful
harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.” Psalm 65:11 (NLT)
Hold on to hope your story is not
finished yet.
What Does the Lord Require from Us?
Reading from Deuteronomy 10:12–22,
Pastor Stuart emphasized that God requires us to:
- Fear Him
(give Him the first place in our lives).
- Walk in obedience.
- Honor Him in every area from money to relationships, from family to work.
“Trust in the Lord with all your
heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5–6
Many of us are busy asking God for
blessings marriage, prosperity, opportunities. Yet, God is asking for something
far greater: our obedience, our reverence, and our hearts.
The
Foundation of Wisdom
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom.” – Proverbs 9:10
Fearing God is the foundation of
true wisdom, wisdom for life, business, family, and ministry. Just as faith can
grow, so can wisdom, but it begins with fearing the Lord.
That is why guarding your heart
is crucial. As Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, “Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.”
Let God consume your heart with His
Word, not arrogance, bitterness, or impurity.
Walking
with God, Finishing Well
The way we finish matters greatly.
Salvation is just the beginning; after that comes the journey of walking
with God.
- Abraham
trusted God, even when he didn’t know where he was going (Hebrews 11:8).
- Noah
walked righteously in the midst of a corrupt generation (Genesis 6:9).
- We, too, must walk in obedience, subjecting ourselves
to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
One day, Christ, the Bridegroom, will
return for His bride. The question is: Will He find us walking in His ways?
Walking
Worthy of the Calling
Paul writes:
“I urge you to live a life worthy of
the calling you have received.”
Ephesians 4:1
To walk worthy means leaving behind
impurity, sin, and worldly pride. Pastor Stuart shared how, in his younger
days, sin seemed like a “hype” or source of pride. But Jesus’ grace transformed
his life, and the call now is to walk in holiness.
Walking worthy means:
- Leading our families toward heaven.
- Loving and honoring others.
- Living as children of light, not darkness (Ephesians
5:8).
- Using wisdom in every decision (Ephesians 5:15).
Even in practical matters, like
paying workers fairly, walking in love reflects God’s character.
A
Call to Fathers and the Church
Pastor Stuart ended with a strong
word for this generation: God is calling men and fathers back to righteousness.
Too many have compromised with unfaithfulness and sin. But the church must rise
again in holiness.
As Colossians 2:6 says, “So then,
just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him.”
Final
Encouragement
Child of God, do you know who you
are?
- You are called to live by faith.
- You are chosen to walk in righteousness.
- You are empowered by grace to finish well.
Yes, principalities will oppose you,
but when you walk in the fear of the Lord, His power and His presence will
surround you.
Let us walk worthy of our calling,
finish strong, and remain faithful until the Bridegroom comes.
Reflection Question: How are you walking with the Lord today? Will He find you
faithful when He returns?
Prayer Point: “Lord, teach me to
walk in Your ways, to fear You, and to finish well.”
