Preach Gospel To Yourself Daily

All English Service

As children of God, we need to always examine ourselves if the truth we have always heard become have become our spiritual state. Can we look to Father, always listening and following Him in all things, just like Lord Jesus. There're moments in our journey of faith that we seem to enter into a spiritual stupor. As we continue serving in the church or hearing the gospel, our faith does not seem to grow deeper in Christ, and we do not seem to draw closer to God. Situations and information seem to rob away our joy easily, distorting our judgment core and peace without even us knowing. The truth that gives birth to us call us to be God's child, one with an unchanging relationship with God. It is this relationship that gives us strength to look to Father for strength and wisdom daily. With the complete truth, we ought to tear down the "old written code" that Satan hideously put in our lives that stop us from hearing the living and active conviction of the Holy Spirit. And often, we have entered into a complacent state, forgetting to repeatedly connect and confirm the truth we have heard through deep prayers. The fruit of genuine faith [vs religion] is strength, love, and grace of God, it means we should have daily recharge, daily renewal and daily regeneration. As much as preaching gospel to others is important, we should all the more preach the gospel to ourselves daily so that we will not fall into spiritual stupor. Be led by the living and active word of God daily. The Word of God does not only bring comfort, it operates into the depths of our souls, penetrating, exposing and revealing the spots that need healing. The journey with Abba Father is always so true and active.

Are we prepared to be different?

  • Consecrated: Be separate/different.
  • Do we dare to be different?
  • More than the danger, see the wisdom and privilege to be different.
  • <1 Th 5> 5 You are all children of the lightand children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
  • Would we rather be socially acceptable, or God-acceptable?
  • Remember that we are “strangers on earth”.
  • <Prov 29:25> “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”
  • Opposite of consecration: Typical

 

Consecration is not a one-time resolution but a lifetime lifestyle

<1 Th 4> 1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.

2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

  • Resolution >> holy lifestyle, whole person >> rewards
  • Private >> public consecration
  • Consecrated ‘daily schedule’.
  • Consecrated ‘divine timing’.
  • Consecrated ‘waiting time’.

 

Consecrated serving

  • When consecrated believers serve, then can impact the world.
  • Serve like it is a privilege, not a chore.
  • Aim to be consecrated for noble purposes.
  • The more consecrated, the more anointing.
