Repaying A Debt Of Love

We often think it is hard to evangelise because we are inadequate in far too many areas. For example, we cannot talk as well as the preachers in the church, we are weak in faith and thus on what grounds we can tell others how strong Christ has been in our lives, and when we look at our actions, we find ourselves committing more mistakes in life than non-believers. Actually, evangelism starts from the right heart. The central of evangelism is a person, after receiving the love and grace of God, sees how much the others around her need this love and complete gospel of God too. The burden she has for others based on the truth she has heard and convicted of propels her to speak what God wants her to speak and testify what God wants her to testify in her current conditions. When one receives the conviction to evangelise, all her conditions are conditions God will use to manifest His glory, reaching out to the harassed and helpless people in the world who are chosen to respond to the love of God. Therefore, evangelism is not an enforced activity but natural product in children of God who strive to follow God in all their ways. With this, contrary to what people of the world think, all the time, effort and things she has sacrificed in evangelising will not feel like a loss but worthwhile devotion because she sees the overflowing love she receives from God gives rise to the need to repay the debt of love of God.

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.
