Remnant Who Long For Christ

All English Service

What do we understand by the word "remnant"? Essentially, remnant refers to the minority who stands out from the majority because they turn to God. While they have the favour of God because God is on their side, but because of that, they also face the opposition of the world, i.e. the majority of the people, the currents of the world. If you are a remnant, are you prepared to take the 2 fold outcomes of being one? And how to you find strength in this path of faith? That is through fellowship with remnants. As the gospel of Christ is preached, it exposes the hearts of men and distinguish the remnants vs the non-remnants, because the truth of God is an open provocation to the hidden rebellion. While painful when exposed, the ones who are brought to contriteness, humility and thus greater need for God will be revealed, and that is also the moment when the power of Holy Spirit will be greatly experienced. And indeed, a remnant is one who lives in this empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

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.”
