Being Called To Be Set Apart

We are chosen to be set apart. It's God's divine election, none of our faith and human merits play a part in it. Often, we ask God, "Did you really choose me? But I am a nobody, I can't be like Abraham or David who had great faith, I'm just a nobody." But through the story of Zechariah, God brings an emphasis to Zechariah and us - No matter how ordinary or utterly nothing we are, God's supremacy transcend all insufficiencies of man, i.e. there's no condition too ordinary that God cannot use; God shames the proud but lifts up the humble; because God wants to reveal to us His sovereign grace and will. Instead of sinking into fallible human conditions and desiring the good conditions of others, God wants us restore an upright heart before Him first, for God is a God who searches the heart of men. It is your believing heart in His promise that pleases Him; it is your believing heart that enables you to pray and open the spiritual eyes in anticipation knowing He is the Lord who hears your prayer and knows your deepest need; it is your believing heart that enables you to participate in His plan no matter how weak or tiny you feel, for He is great nonetheless; it is your believing heart that compels God to want to prove to you that indeed He is a faithful God. As we receive the calling of God through our believing heart, the spirit within us will move us into setting apart. But when you find it hard to be set apart, look to God's promise and find strength in Him. Rather be small in the eyes of men but great in the sight of the Lord! Let the "commissioned" heart lead you to each blessed and assured footstep of your life.

Verses to Read

<Acts 1:6-8; 2:46-47>

 

1. The Gospel

* Misunderstanding the Gospel = Misunderstanding the Work of the Holy Spirit.

* The Holy Spirit will not be satisfied when the gospel is not being fully, clearly and boldly proclaimed through the church.

* The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation for all those who believes <Ro 1:16>. Yet, what is believing faith?

 

2. The Vision of World Evangelization

* Many Churches/believers are curtailed by the difficulties and challenges.

* Yet, it is by the Persistence and Resolution of the Holy Spirit that it will be accomplished.

* Therefore, join Him in His work.

 

3. The Communion of Saints

* Need for physical gathering of Saints:

(1) Mature Love = receiving and serving

(2) Deepening of Relationship involve sacrifices of time and energy

(3) Accountability
