Unmoved Covenant, New Convictions

All English Service

Do you have an anchor point in your life? One that will pick yourself up in failures and trying situation? God loves His people, and to those who are called to be His children, God promised to be with them in all situations and in all times. And along with His love, He leads His people to a purposeful living that not only save them, also many others through His children. That’s the unmoved covenant of God. Today we’re so absorbed with the daily affairs and momentum of the world that we find the covenant of God though unchanging, but irrelevant. In our problems, we fail to make connections with the gospel we used and have always been hearing, thus feeling frustrated and helpless in the face of reality. Through the message today, may we find answers in the spiritual misconnections we often slip into and realise that in this perverted world where Satan’s work is ever so aggressive, we have to come together and pray all the more. In these, we’ll see how God is still safeguarding and leading us in our crisis, problems and routines through the clear and progressive convictions of the Holy Spirit. Because of the living and active leading of Holy Spirit, God will surely lead us to new breakthroughs, new encounters and new frontiers through our submissions. Be blessed, for Lord’s covenant still stand firm in all our conditions today!

1. The traps of Comfort.

  • “Suffering”: Abstract
  • The problem of “not having problems”
    • Resistant to even little inconveniences
    • Stay in comfort zones
  • <Lk 9> 23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
  • Spiritual battles faced in comfort:
    • People proud toward God (no need for Him)
    • God-loving spirit put to sleep
    • Flesh is stirred up

2. Be intentional about carrying the cross in the midst of comfort.

  • [one slide] Cross and Comfort: Opposites or Correlated?
  • If we do not carry cross intentionally:
    • Devil will get us
    • World will consume us
    • Many things other than God will influence us
    • Accusations grow
    • Get listless about “God-stuff”
    • Evangelism becomes non-urgent
  • People who want to live by the truth will remain in a constant state of battling and tension
  • Carry the Cross: Centre on God, Gospel and Kingdom 

3. The importance of gatherings.

  • <Heb 10> 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
  • <Mt 18> 19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
