Leadership Essentials

Much grace
We have good news this week.

You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
2 Timothy 4:15 NKJV

Paul’s warning reminds us that opposition is not necessarily evidence that we are doing something wrong. When leaders faithfully proclaim the Word of God, there will always be people who resist, reject, or challenge the truth.

Valuable lessons for leaders:

The truth of God’s Word will not always be welcomed. Leaders should expect resistance rather than be surprised or discouraged by it.

A leader must remain faithful to Scripture even when people disagree. Our responsibility is to proclaim the truth, not to make everyone comfortable.

The success of ministry is not measured by the absence of opposition. Faithfulness means continuing to preach, teach, and live according to God’s Word even when people resist it.

Opposition will come when we faithfully proclaim the Gospel. Do not allow resistance to silence you, compromise your message, or distract you from your God-given assignment. Stand firmly on the Word, respond with wisdom, and remain faithful to the end.

Have a blessed week.
Mathew and Ethel Koeberg

SERMON TITLE: "Hear the Son in the Last Age"
Key Texts: Hebrews 1:1-2, John 3:30, Acts 26:16, Joel 2:28-31, Revelation 1:1, Proverbs 29:18

INTRODUCTION
We are in the last days. Hebrews 1:2 — “in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.”

God showed me 3 VISIONS: Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, then a skeleton.
But I’m not here to make you stare at visions. I’m here as a servant to do 2 things:
Feed His sheep with truth
Testify to what I have seen Him — Acts 26:16

And the one point is: John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
So today: Don’t look at the sign. Hear the Son.

1. HEAR THE SON: GOD IS SPEAKING NOW
Joel 2:28 — “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.”
Revelation 1:1 — “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants...”

The visions are not the message. The Son is.
RED 7 VISION in the sky = The blood of Jesus. The work is finished. The time is complete.

GREEN 7 VISION on the wall = Life from the Spirit. God wants to restore His house.

SKELETON VISION= What’s left when we ignore the Son. Death. Ezekiel 37:11

Proverbs 29:18 — “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.”
God gives vision so we don’t wander. But the vision’s purpose is to bring us back to the Word and to obey the Son.

If we chase the vision and miss the Voice, we miss everything.

2. SPIRITUAL RENEWAL + REVIVAL: COME BACK TO THE WORD
Joel 2:29 — “Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.”

Revival is not hype. It’s when the Spirit brings us back to Jesus.
Psalm 51:10 — “Renew a right spirit within me.”
The Spirit’s job is to testify of Christ. John 15:26

So when God speaks through visions, He’s saying: “Come back to My Word. Come back to My Son.”

3. REPENTANCE + OBEDIENCE = LIFE + PURITY AS WE WAIT
Joel 2:31 — “before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”
The day is near. So what do we do?

Acts 3:19 — “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.”
John 14:23 — “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.”
1 Peter 1:15-16 — “be holy in all your conduct, for I am holy.”
1 John 3:3 — “everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.”

We wait for Jesus not by watching the sky, but by washing in the Word and walking in obedience.
Matthew 24:44 — “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming...”

4. THE WITNESS: DECREASE SO HE INCREASES
Am Reagan a servant & a witness of Jesus appointed by Jesus himself to feed his sheep with truth of His revelation ( word) & warning from visions He showed to last age.

And to testify of the things ( visions)Has shown me unto living ones in this last age.
Acts 26:16 — “appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me.”

My calling is not a title. It’s to testify.
And the testimony must always end at the cross.
Revelation 19:10 — “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

CLOSING CALL + PRAYER
Don’t leave here talking about Red 7 or Green 7.
Leave here with one question answered: Have I heard the Son and obeyed Him?

Prayer:
Father, speak. We are listening.
Forgive us for chasing signs and missing You.
Pour Your Spirit. Renew us. Give us repentant hearts and obedient feet.
Wash us and make us pure as we wait for Jesus.
Let Jesus increase in us. In His Name, Amen. Revelation 22:20


Summary to Remember
Visions → to get our attention
The Son → to get our obedience
Result → Awakening, Renewal, Repentance, Purity, Readiness

Proverbs 29:18 — Without God’s vision people run wild. But with His vision we keep His law and we are blessed.

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all.

1 John 1:5 NLT
____
Confessing our sins restores us to the joy of His presence.
____
Are you that loyal of a friend? Ask God for grace to be the kind of friend who is faithful in adversity.
____
Please grow my love for others, ever-present and loving God.
____
Since He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also give us everything else?

Romans 8:32 NLT

SERMON TITLE: "He Must Increase& l decrease:

Am Reagan a servant & a Witness of Jesus in this Last Age"
Key Texts: John 3:30, Acts 26:16, Revelation 1:1-3, Joel 2:28, Hebrews 1:2, Matthew 24:44, 1 Peter 1:15-16



INTRODUCTION
Church, we are living in the last age.
God is speaking again — Hebrews 1:2 — “but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.”
And He is still pouring out His Spirit — Joel 2:28 — “your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.”

The Lord showed me 3 things( visions): Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, and then a skeleton after they vanished.
I’m not here to be called a title. I’m here for one reason: John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
I am a servant to feed His sheep truth. A witness to testify to what I have seen Him.
And the message is for you now: Awaken. Renew. Repent. Obey. Be pure. Jesus is coming.

1. AWAKENING: HEAR THE SON-- GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH THE SON.

Revelation 1:1 — “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place.”

Proverbs29:18 .. ' without visions people perish."

MESSAGE of the Red 7 vision in the sky — Red speaks of blood. 7 speaks of completion.
This is heaven’s warning: The blood of Jesus has finished the work, and the time is complete. Joel 2:30-31 — “wonders in heavens... before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”
God is saying: Wake up. The Judge is at the door. James 5:9

We cannot sleep in sin when heaven is writing in the sky.
Romans 13:11 — “it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”

2. RENEWAL & REVIVAL: LIFE ON THE WALL
Green 7 vision on the wall — Green is life, growth, restoration. The wall is God’s house, the boundary of His people. Ezekiel 22:30 — “I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach.”

God is calling for renewal. Not new methods. New hearts.
Psalm 51:10 — “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
Ezekiel 37:4 — “Prophesy to these bones... O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.”

This is revival: When God’s Word brings life back to dead places.
But it only comes when we return to the Word and the Spirit. Zechariah 4:6 — “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.”

3. REPENTANCE & OBEDIENCE: OR THE SKELETON REMAINS
Skeleton vision. ,after they vanished. skeleton vision— When the warning of blood and the offer of life are ignored, what’s left is death.
Ezekiel 37:11 — “These bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up.’”

This is the danger of the last age: Religious, but dead. Revelation 3:1 — “You have a reputation that you are alive, but you are dead.”

The answer is not more activity. It’s repentance.
Acts 3:19 — “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.”
John 14:23 — “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.”

Obedience is proof of love. Purity is proof of waiting.
1 John 3:3 — “And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.”
1 Peter 1:15-16 — “As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”

4. THE WITNESS: TESTIFY OF HIM, NOT OF SELF
Acts 26:16 — “I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me.”

This is my calling in the last age. Not platforms. Not titles. Witnesses.
Revelation 19:10 — “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Every vision, every warning, every sermon must point to Jesus.
John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
If people leave remembering me, I failed. If they leave hungry for Jesus, I succeeded.

Matthew 24:44 — “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

APPLICATION: 4 STEPS TO BE READY
Awaken - Get out of spiritual sleep. Watch and pray. Mark 13:33
Renew - Ask God to revive your first love. Revelation 2:4-5
Repent + Obey - Turn from sin. Walk in the Word. James 1:22
Purify - Live holy as thy God is Holy God.

The Story Behind the Hymns.
THE STORY BEHIND "I'II PRAISE MY MAKER WHILE I'VE BREATH

“I’ll Praise My Maker While I’ve Breath” is a beloved hymn by the English hymn writer and theologian Isaac Watts (1674–1748). The hymn is based on Psalm 146, transforming the biblical psalm into a personal declaration of lifelong trust, praise and devotion to God.

Watts published the hymn in his influential collection “The Psalms of David, Imitated in the Language of the New Testament” in 1719. Rather than translating the Psalm word-for-word, he expressed its message in a form that worshippers could sing as their own testimony of faith.

The opening words capture the central theme:

“I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve breath;
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler powers…”

The hymn reflects the conviction that praise should not depend on circumstances. Watts points the worshipper toward God as the faithful Creator and everlasting source of hope, while reminding us that earthly rulers and human strength are temporary.

One of the most memorable ideas in the hymn is its confidence in God’s enduring care. Even as human life comes to an end, the singer looks beyond death with the assurance that praise continues in the presence of the Maker.

“I’ll Praise My Maker While I’ve Breath” became widely loved in Christian worship and has appeared in numerous hymnals across generations. Its enduring appeal lies in its simple but profound message: life itself is an opportunity to praise God, and that praise ultimately reaches beyond the limits of earthly life.

Isaac Watts died in 1748, but his hymns continued to shape Christian worship around the world. Through this hymn, his paraphrase of Psalm 146 remains a powerful invitation to make praise a lifelong commitment.

The Advent Truth.
The devil wants you to believe you’ve gone too far. Jesus says, “Come unto Me.”

Maybe you’ve fallen. Maybe you’ve stumbled again. Maybe you’re tired of fighting the same battle. But hear this: the very fact that you’re still fighting is evidence that the Holy Spirit hasn’t given up on you.

Jesus is still your High Priest. He still presents His blood before the Father on behalf of those who come to Him in repentance (Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2). As long as there’s breath in your lungs, there’s still an invitation to receive His grace.

Yes, we’re living in serious times. Prophecy is being fulfilled. The world is growing darker. But if all you do is stare at the storm, fear will consume you. Keep your eyes on the One who walks on the water.

Revelation repeatedly says, “To him who overcomes…” The Greek idea isn’t describing someone who never falls. It’s describing the one who keeps overcoming—the one who refuses to quit. Proverbs 24:16 says, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.” The righteous are not those who never fall; they’re the ones who, by God’s grace, keep getting back up.

So when Satan whispers, “Stay down. God is finished with you,” answer him with the promises of Christ. Repent. Get back up. Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep surrendering.

Victory isn’t found in your strength. It’s found in abiding in Jesus.

If you need prayer, you’re welcome to leave a comment (keeping in mind it’s a public forum), or send me a private message or email instead.

Don’t quit now. We’re almost home.

Topic: Do Not Let One Failure Define You

Bible Reference

“For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.” Proverbs 24:16 (NKJV)

A Short Story

David had failed an important examination. He had studied, but not as much as he should have. When the result came out, the score was far below what he expected.

He stared at the result for several minutes. He felt ashamed. Some of his friends had done well, and he could not stop comparing himself with them.

When he got home, he threw his school bag on the floor and sat quietly. His mother noticed that something was wrong, but David did not want to talk.

That night, he began thinking about himself differently. He started telling himself that perhaps he was not intelligent enough. Maybe he would always struggle. Maybe success was simply not meant for him.

The failure had lasted only one examination, but David had allowed it to become a description of his entire life.

The following morning, his youth leader called him.

David explained what had happened. After listening to him, the youth leader said, “You failed an examination. You are not a failure.”

Those words stayed with David.

He went back to his books. This time, he changed his study habits. He asked questions when he did not understand something and stopped pretending that he understood what he did not.

Months later, he sat for another examination. His result was much better.

David learned something important. Falling was not the end of his story. Refusing to rise would have been.

Today's Message

Failure can make you question yourself. One mistake can make you believe that you are incapable of succeeding.

But your failure is an event, not your identity.

The Bible says that a righteous person may fall and still rise again. Notice that the scripture does not say the righteous never fall. It says they rise.

God is not looking for people who have never made mistakes. He is looking for people who are willing to learn, repent when necessary, grow, and continue walking with Him.

You may have failed in school, business, ministry, a relationship, or an important decision. You may have disappointed yourself. But do not allow one bad season to convince you that your entire future is ruined.

Learn from what happened. Correct what needs to be corrected. Ask God for wisdom, and get up again.

Your story is not over because you fell.

What To Do Today

1. Identify what your failure taught you instead of only thinking about what you lost.

2. Correct one mistake that contributed to the failure.

3. Stop calling yourself what God has not called you.

4. Take another step instead of remaining discouraged.

Prayer

Lord, give me the strength to rise whenever I fall. Help me to learn from my mistakes without allowing them to destroy my confidence. Give me wisdom to do better and grace to keep moving forward. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Daily Challenge

Think about one failure that has been discouraging you. Write down one lesson it taught you and one thing you can do differently from today.
