Wisdumb "Looking for Oxen"

LOOKING FOR OXEN
Proverbs 14:4 NLT - 4 Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest.
We have to be looking for Oxen, not just the harvest
Matthew 16:13-18 NLT - 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” 15 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. 18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
Working with Oxen:
1. Clean them up with Jesus(keep decease away)
2. Feed them well with Discipleship
3. Give purpose and direction
4. Go back to the beginning (Stay focused on Jesus and who He is)
Jesus never worried about a mess, a past, or with Peter, messes to come. He saw an Ox in him!!!
But it starts with us…. He sees an Ox in you
