16 Feb Festive Mission and Watchfulness
Pastor Vincent - 15 May 2014
Continue To Be Convinced Of The Truth
A born again life is not a mere passage to Heaven. A born again is a continuous transformational process through knowing, confirming and becoming incrementally convinced of the truth of God. Often, we've learnt about many truths of God. Yet we fall flat before situations, not experiencing the power of His word in the relative and paradoxical situations we are in. The gospel is the power of God to those who believe. Do you have the gospel( full scriptural truth)? If you have known the gospel, do you truly believe in it? A believing heart deepens through repeated confirmation of the word of God through prayers, i.e. studying the reality again by the word of God, thus finding assurance that the truth prevails in all relative situation. Only then can one be convinced of the truth and experience the power of God. Are you always learning but never able acknowledge the truth? Put to end the spiritual stupor by looking to the full gospel again and confirm it through prayers until you are convinced of it.

A time of spiritual warfare and watchfulness.
- Power of various idols:
- Ancestors and household gods
- Good luck & prosperity
- Pressure to stand by the Christian faith
- Temptations abound
- Internal struggles (loneliness, discouragement)
- Stress to evangelise
- Happy atmosphere must not distract us from God’s purpose
- Be set apart and vigilant
<Ephesians 6:18> And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
<2 Timothy 4>
2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
<1 Peter 2>
11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. 12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.” 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Also a time of opportunities.
1) To demonstrate Christian love.
2) To share the gospel.
