Spiritual Perfection

Sunday, February 15, 2009

What does Spiritual Perfection mean? It means that if we are led by our spirit, we literally will not sin.

The bible says when we accept Christ into our lives, it is no longer us but Christ living in us and we are saved from sin.

But people also fail to see that in spirit, with have also conquered death. So in truth, with Christ in our lives, we can conquer everything only if we are spiritually led. But don't get this perception that conquering everything is doing anything. We are still humans and if we are spiritually led, we are able to do the natural stretched to its maximum, not the supernatural because our body is still very much natural.

But that aside, it also means that we have the ability to conquer all circumstances and situations in our lives if we seek God first and be led by our spirit.

Recreation From Sacrifice Part 2

Sunday, February 8, 2009

Now we know that only with the Holy Spirit can recreation take place and breakthroughs come from recreation but we have to surrender what we have for God moves in what we have and not what we don't have.

2 Corinthians 9:6

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

Our God wants us to give our all to him but don't forget that he too loves us back and he will bless us back even more. Now, we shouldn't think that what we have is insignificant or what we have is not enough. The bibles says that we will reap what we sow. So actually, it's not about how much we have to sow but it's about whether we sow or not.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

It's also not about our circumstances because God is greater than that. Now, God will give seeds to the sower so that we can sow even more seeds, not keep it for ourselves.

2 Corinthians 9:10-11

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

When we sow, we will see a breakthrough. When we sacrifice generously, God will increase our harvest. God will enlarge it. God will give us a breakthrough. Above all, we have to thank God for the breakthrough. We have to have the attitude of gratitude. But don't be afraid of sowing what you have been blessed with. Things that are precious to us is also precious to God and as long as you have faith, God will be faithful.

2 Corinthians 9:7

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Sacrifice cheerfully for there is nothing stronger than the love of God. Surrender what we have in our hands and God will manifest and recreate it. Lastly, we have to learn to wait for God because God's timing is always perfect and he knows when to bless us but be assured he will bless us.

Psalm 27:14

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Just to sum everything up, have faith in what we sow, thank God that he was faithful to us, recreation from sacrifice will bring breakthroughs in our lives.

Recreation From Sacrifice Part 1

Saturday, February 7, 2009

Many times in life we want breakthroughs in our own life but how do we get those breakthroughs? We pray and pray for a breakthrough but God sent us to the world so that we can make things happen and not ask God to do everything for us so actually, when we pray, God is helping us, not doing it for us. He makes the impossible become possible. He doesn't make the impossible come to pass. He helps us to overcome obstacles, he doesn't overcome it for ourselves. So when we pray for a breakthrough, we still have to actually make it happen ourselves.

Now what is creating? It is causing to come into being.

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

God caused the heavens and the earth to come into being.

Now then, what is recreating?

Genesis 2:7

the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis 1:27-28

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.

From this 3 verses, we can see that God recreated the earth into man.

Genesis 1:26

Then God said," Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Now notice, God said "us" and "our" and not "me" and "mine". Who was the other person?

Genesis 1:2

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Notice that even until now, the Spirit of God has not stopped hovering over the Earth and that is how recreation could have and can still take place and also, the bible didn't say that the Spirit of God stopped hovering over the earth. The Spirit of God is the image of the woman since the Spirit of God is the helper of God, likewise woman, the helper of man, and that was how the image of woman appeared but that's a different thing altogether.

This is the end of Recreation from Sacrifice Part 1. Part 2 will be saved for maybe... tomorrow? :) Until then, peace out.

Radicalism

Thursday, February 5, 2009

Hello everyoneeeeeee!

How's school and everything? Haha, still able to cope or are you still in the holiday mood? HAHA! no more l4d man! Now that school has started, it's time we prioritize our time properly and plan! School, cca, homework, church, God, family, exams. These are more or less the things in our head right now each day. But will we be able to put God and church first in our list? That whenever we receive a last minute SMS at 9pm on a monday night that there will be a prayer meeting tmr at 6pm, will we be able to say, "yup i can make it." or are we placing things above God? Radicalism.

Will be a whole new different generation, that we won't live a double standard live of compromises? That we don't change whether it is the holidays or school is right in our face. It's so easy to chiong during the holidays, there's no homework, no exams, no stress! But it's really a different story with school man. Will we stay strong to our convictions? Or are they just mere words that we say out of excitement?

Radicalism.

Relate To Lead

Sunday, February 1, 2009

Relate to lead. It's a really cool thing. Relationship is friendship and friendship is the highest form of leadership. That's why HOGC leaders are so different compared to the rest of the church leaders around the world. HOGC leaders have developed true friendship with pastors and that's why they are so great now. Pastor Lia once said that the friends we make determines who we are and that's why the stronger the relationship we have with our leaders, the better the replica of our leaders we become. Like Charleston, he's such a great replica of Pastor How. Not clones, but replica. Now we need to learn to have our leaders as our friends and likewise as a leader to his/her people. Knowing is the highest form of love and love is the greatest form of friendship. And lastly, about knowing God has our saviour, our lord, our master, our king, our refuge of strength, it's so important to also know him as a friend. We have to know him as our best friend or else we will never ever fully submit to him because we will never be intimate with him and we weren't be fully convicted. Here is a video I think you will enjoy. :)
