TOPIC: NO OTHER GOD
Text: Exodus 20: 2 - 6
INTRODUCTION
The commandments of the Lord are set of instructions that we must respond to as a proof of our
love to God in return to the love that He has for us (1John 4:19). Nobody can proof that he
loves the Lord without adhering to His commandments (John 14:15).
Believers must remember that observing and fulfilling the first commandment at every time is an
evidence of our relationship with the Lord (Matt 7:21). The Lord is supreme and above all, and
no other concern is greater than Him.
Anything else when elevated above the Lord becomes other god which consequence is
disastrous (Exodus 20:5). Believers must be careful not to allow anyone or anything to take the
central place of God in our lives (Matt 22:36-38)
Shall Have No Other gods
a) Only one God
- There is only one God. Every other god is counterfeit. (Deut 6:4, Isaiah 43:10)
- Only one God that rules over the affairs of man. (Psl. 75:6-7, Daniel 4:25b)
- Only one that has all power (Matt 28:18, Jer. 32:17).
b) Your God is all sufficient
- The Lord is enough to meet the needs of all situations. (Ish. 44:6, Psl 23:1, Luke
9:10-17)
- Other gods and man are insufficient. (John 5:26, Luke 12:19-21, 1Sam 5:1-12)
c) He is the first over everything
- Worthy of number one position (Col 1:17, 1John 4:9)
- Stop looking around. Every time we look around rather than to God, we are inviting
trouble. (Gen 16:1-16, Gen 26:1-2)
- Winner takes all. (Psl. 110:1, Heb 2:8)

Conclusion
Anyone who keeps God’s commandments, is he that loves Him. Is Jesus taking the center
piece of your life? Where are you going to put Jesus? The first place or second? He will not take
second place; only the FIRST.
