Winning Formula Vs Recipe For Failure

Watch
Listen

Many times, we often live in disheartenment. We get defeated by situations, information and thoughts about things yet to come. The truth is, we do not need to wait for things to become better, bad news to subside and good feelings to come before we feel good and victorious. In Christ, we are already victorious. When we believe right, Holy Spirit will lead us into doing the right thing and the outcomes will surely be right! How often do we go back to the truth in this world that constantly engulf our faith in Christ? Today, restore the 5 Solas (Only) of a believer. When you hold onto Sola Scriptura (Only Bible), Solus Christus (Only Christ), Sola Fide (Only Faith) , Sola Gratia (Only grace), and Soli Deo Gloria (All glory to God alone), victory is not an outcome but a state of our living. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. [Mt 16:25] Paradox it may seem, yet such is the power of Holy Spirit, and everyone who believes in Him will never be ashamed. You are already victorious in Christ. Cling onto the right anchor point today!

Have you ever been played out by your pride before? Pride told you that everything is manageable without God, you are fine on your own, but things didn’t turn out as expected, disappointments set in, the very outcome you tried to avoid became reality. Pride is always associated with folly. Pride made humans feel that God is unnecessary and optional. Yet, pride is one horrible sin in God’s eyes and He frustrates the plans of the proud. Let us always remember the wise and true words in <Psalm 127:1>:

“Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.”

Verses To Read:

1. Humanism

1) Human-centred, Human-driven

2) The culture of Babel is “Humanism”.

3) Hidden within Humanism is PRIDE

City: Security, comfort
Tower: Pride

2. Human plan VS God’s plan.

1) God’s intervention >> Turning point <v5>.

2) God frustrates the plans of the proud…easily.

Godlessness is folly.

3) Result of being irreverent: Confusion.

3. Do not be influenced by the Babel culture.

1) Be united for the right reasons.

For Gospel: ?
Oppose God: ?

*Disunited without God; united in Christ.
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” <Gal 3:28>.

2) Be set apart from the Babel culture.

Reflection:

Despite being a Christian, is it easy for you to become humanistic again? Why do you tend to be more human-driven rather than God-driven? Usually, when are you more prone to become humanistic?
Had God ever, and how did He, intervene in your life when pride is lurking? How had God ever tamed your pride?
