Resolve To Live A Holy Life

Resolve To Live A Holy Life

Preacher Huijun - 18 December 2014

Applying The Gospel Effectively

We often hear believers lamenting about not having convictions from God in all that they’re doing. At times, we also doubt if the convictions we have are the one from God, or ourselves? To receive the right convictions, we need to first understand the gospel correctly. The complete gospel tells us about God’s purposeful grace, there’s no other way but only Jesus; the gospel is also universally applicable to all people and cross-cultural. Often, Satan and our flesh always deceives us and entangles us so that we know about the gospel but we do not rely enough of the gospel, as we feel that we can have Jesus and our wisdom, our talents and our ways to live a blissful and purposeful life on earth. When we’re distracted by Satan’s lies and compromise with our flesh, we’ll also rationalise and be selective in relying on the gospel, and thus not receiving the right conviction of God in all things. The gospel is the power of God, to save all those who believe. If we’re not enjoying the power of gospel, perhaps we should introspect if we’ve been relying enough on the full gospel in our lives. If we do, progressive healing will begin and potentiate from our spirit to all areas of our lives, for we hear the living and active voice of God through the truth He reveals to us.

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.
