Secret Doing And Prayers That Please God
Do we look for affirmation from man, compliments and validation from bosses when we do our jobs well? In this face-paced society we're living in, we often hear the need to "affirm people for what they have done". While there is nothing wrong in seeking affirmation, little do we realize that our hearts have started to yearn for man's validation more than what God thinks of us as we are faithful to the things, big or small, assigned to us. In doing and prayers, the Pharisees committed one deadly mistake - they did it before many audiences, and they seek validation from these audiences. But the doing and prayer that please God is this - you do and you pray because you have only ONE audience, ie God. Because He is the only audience, you do because you care about Him more than anyone else; you pray because you just want to continuously seek the inputs and voices from this audience.

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
