Anxiety-Free In Christ
Anxiety is one major state that distract saints from following God. Do you worry easily? We cannot worry and seek God soberly at the same time. When we worry, not only the devil is attacking us like a roaring lion in an attempt to destroy our trust in God, our overpowering desires also prevent us from trusting God that He loves us supremely and knows what we need best. Unconsciously, our body, mind and spirit enter into a "labouring on our own" state. Jesus said, "do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own". We often hear people say "Do not worry, be happy". What then is the surety we can rest on for not being worrisome; and what is the assurance that we can be happy? When Jesus gives us the word "Do not worry about tomorrow", He means to tell us that the Father God loves you so profoundly deep that He is willing to give up His one and only Son to die for our sins, so that we can be clothed in His righteousness, as long as we believe in Him. The Father our God who clothes even the flowers and grass of the field, how much more will he clothe you today, who are being called and justified by Him? That is the surety we can rest on today for not being worrisome - He cares for you, more profoundly and more unimaginably and so goodly than we think. How then can we be sure that we can be happy? We can be happy today as long as we know what is God's will for us today - "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness (not your focus and your goodness that you fight on your own)" and be faithful today in the roles, time, tasks which God has entrusted to you, today. We can plan for tomorrow, but we plan knowing God is with us tomorrow, and He's the one who is responsible of the outcomes come what may.

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
