HEY GOP!!!!
Hope you did not miss this week's service! Isaac was not around so Shaunster shared a great message about PARTNERING HEAVEN FOR EARTHLY TRANSFORMATION!
He started by sharing about how we should partner with the PERFECT!
The Heart of God is in His Sin, Jesus Christ. And that is where our heart should be too.
Exodus 21:1-6
[These are the laws you are to set before them: ... But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free', then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life]
The very same way, Jesus could have chosen to leave us on earth to die for our sins. But instead, because He loved His Father (master) and His wife (the church) and children (the children of the world, US!), he was PIERCED with a nail on the cross and willingly serve us for life [Matthew 20:28].
We have nothing to serve others unless we partner with Christ and be served by Him first. The outflow of our heart will only come from the inflow of Jesus' power to us.
[John 4:4-26, Psalms 40:6, Revelation 1:12]
Jesus had 3 purposes which was to Save, Minister and Serve! Jesus wants us to receive His blessings so that we in turn, can bless others because God's grace is sufficient. His grace is sufficient for us to live solely on it.
Secondly, we have to partner with PEOPLE!
Einstein teaches us E=MC2
But instead of just science, E=MC2 where EMPOWERMENT (salvation, annointing and faith) is equilavent to the MASS of the people multiplied by the CONNECTIVITY AND FLOW of the people!!
So GOP, let's reach for a dream of 150 people and 10 salvations on 14th November when we're having our MEGA EVANGELISTIC SERVICE!
How do we do that? DIG DEEPER!
1) Be real and have oneness
Be the same in school, at home and in church. Don't be a hypocrite but live your lives the way where people can see who you really are.
2) Be observant
Find a need, meet the need. Find a hurt, heal the hurt. Observe the people around you and help them with all you've got. Don't be reluctant but instead, reach out with all you have.
3) Be positive
Have a smile wherever you go! Don't take things negatively but know that God will see you through whatever happens. Be the light in everyone else's darkness =)
4) Be hungry
Be hungry to win souls! Be desperate to see your friends get saved. Don't give up on your friends, keep talking to them about Christ. (Do note that sharing and annoying are two different things)
5) Have confidence
You need to be confident to start where others are, not where you are. Dare to step out and live life the way others will know that you know what you're doing.
6) Have compassion
Instead of substaining from food, share with others the food that you have.
[Amos 5:21]
7) Be committed
[Luke 15 - The parable of the Lost sheep]
God will go all the way to rescue us. Will you go all the way to rescue your friends?
8) Enlarge!
Enlarge yourself to a greater capacity. Help out more in church, pray more, talk about Christ more! Live your life larger! God has given us the capacity to be so much more!
So GOPers, live your life with more happiness, positivity, confidence. Do your best in whatever you do and stay committed to it. Reach out to your friends and be someone people can count on! Let's partner with Jesus to reach out to our friends. Remember, 150 people with 10 salvations on 14th november! Let's live out our GoP dream together =)
Loves.
