IF YOU CAN'T BE A KING BE A KING MAKER

Pastor Bill Willson
Matt 1:6-11
Everyone of these men became Kings a Monarchy-ends with Babylon.
Matt 12:16
None of these men are Kings but more like a town Mayer

Joseph because of circumstances could not be a King. He was in line to be King and would have been King had the Babylonians not taken over. And here is something that Joseph may have come across: If I can't be a King, I'll be a King maker.

Many times you sit there and think, I'm not satisfied I want to be at a higher level. God birthed a vision in you and there has to be stewardship with leadership. The greatest chance to change a life is be a King maker. In Matt 1:20 Joseph has a choice do I stay or go with Mary. See if it wasn't for Joseph who would have travelled on the donkey?

1. Joseph provided a place. Its just like the man Dave who paid $17 for Bill to go to camp. Dave knew something could change if I get him in the presence at least once.
2. Joseph was prepaired for his position. He was a carpnter, he knew how to build things and if you love someone, you'll serve them. He was prepaired and he can now show others how to be prepared. Many sunday school teachers spend five miniutes on there sunday lesson with some pitty curiculam book done up by some so "qualified" person cayse they have a Phd or Masters. Sunday morning they come into the class and after the class is over wonder why there is no power, no annointing maybe they don't even care. But for most cases its cause there was no discipline in getting prepared. Where is a teacher who would stay up all night to prepare a good lesson? Maybe that's what it's going to take. Would you be willing to pay that price?
3. Joseph knew the power in the potential. Do you see the potential in the people you deal with? It won't be easy dealing with them, for some it takes them to hit rock bottom before they come to thier senses. And then God can work in them in such a way that they really are changed and continue to change.

If you cant be a King, be a King Maker
