Good morning, what a wonderful day the Lord has given us.
Our Fire-starter this morning comes from 1 Chronicles 21. Our
Fire-starter thought is: an Ornan heart; I give it all!!!!

Some are willing to give all until they realize what all is. Someone
once said in order to give one hundred percent at work you must give
twenty percent daily. Right? Absolutely not!!! We give one hundred
percent to work on a daily basis why can’t we give one hundred percent
to Jesus? I give twenty percent five times a month. I go to church, I
don’t sing, I’ve not prayed, I’ve not allowed the Lord to prepare my
heart while during the invitation you and I are singing all to Jesus I
surrender. Is that words to us or do we truly mean them? Bro. Justin you
just don’t understand what I am going through, you can’t and won’t
understand why I don’t give all when it comes to things you just don’t
know what I am dealing with right now. Friend, you are absolutely right
I do not know what you are going through but I can guarantee you that’s
not a good excuse for not giving all. What do you mean by all? I mean
this. Have you given God your time talents and treasures?
Have you given him all the time he needs to talk to you and you with
him. Do you give all in your devotion to him?
Secondly talents.
    What can you give one hundred percent in?
I like singing but I hate to say I don’t give my all sometimes singing,
although I should sometimes I don’t yet that’s not an excuse.
I’m Good at writing but I don’t give my all when it comes to that. Give
not only your all but give all of yours to him.
Treasures.
Have you thought maybe we give way less than our all?
  Instead of putting in what you think the preacher deserves for that
day maybe you need to go all out and say I am willing to step out by
faith and give my all. You may not have much to give but if you give
your all God will bless it.

As alot of you know the nursing home ministry has meant alot to me
through the years. When I first started preaching in 2008 I began to
preach in the nursing home. Several years ago there was a lady, I
believe has passed now, that would always come to the service and she
would say, I didn’t feel like coming but I came anyway. She would always
ask for prayer for more people for me to preach to. On one particular
day she handed me an envelope and I didn’t think to much about it but
when I got to the truck I opened it up and read the card that said
something to the effect of keep preaching I enjoy it and then there
would be a check for ten dollars in there. That blessed my heart to
think, this dear lady is in a nursing home and wants to be a blessing to
this young man. It reminded me in closing of a story in the Bible about
the lady with the two mites. Jesus spoke and said of her she gave more
than the rest of them why? Because she gave all that she had. All the
others gave of their abundance.
Do you have an Ornan heart today? Is your attitude I Give it all?
May the Lord convinct where conviction is needed!!!
Hope you have a great day in Jesus!!!!

1 Chronicles 21:1-30 KJV
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
[2] And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number
Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me,
that I may know it. [3] And Joab answered, The Lord make his people an
hundred times so many more as they be : but, my lord the king, are they
not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing?
why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? [4] Nevertheless the
king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went
throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. [5] And Joab gave the sum
of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a
thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah
was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. [6]
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king’s word was
abominable to Joab. [7] And God was displeased with this thing;
therefore he smote Israel. [8] And David said unto God, I have sinned
greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do
away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. [9]
And the Lord spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying, [10] Go and tell
David, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things : choose
thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. [11] So Gad came to David,
and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee [12] Either three
years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while
that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee ; or else three days the
sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of
the Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore
advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. [13]
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into
the hand of the Lord ; for very great are his mercies: but let me not
fall into the hand of man. [14] So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel:
and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. [15] And God sent an
angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord
beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that
destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord
stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. [16] And David lifted
up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord stand between the earth and
the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over
Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in
sackcloth, fell upon their faces. [17] And David said unto God, Is it
not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have
sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they
done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my
father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued. [18]
Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David, that David
should go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of
Ornan the Jebusite. [19] And David went up at the saying of Gad, which
he spake in the name of the Lord. [20] And Ornan turned back, and saw
the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was
threshing wheat. [21] And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw
David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David
with his face to the ground. [22] Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the
place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the
Lord : thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be
stayed from the people. [23] And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee,
and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give
thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments
for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. [24] And
king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full
price: for I will not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer
burnt offerings without cost. [25] So David gave to Ornan for the place
six hundred shekels of gold by weight. [26] And David built there an
altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings,
and called upon the Lord ; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon
the altar of burnt offering. [27] And the Lord commanded the angel; and
he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. [28] At that time
when David saw that the Lord had answered him in the threshingfloor of
Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. [29] For the tabernacle of
the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt
offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. [30] But
David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid
because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
