We need to abide in Him.
Our belief system affects our attitude. Our attitude affects our behavior. And our behaviors determine our actions.
To do what Jesus did, we must walk as He walked. We need to love one another.
When we love God and have love for one another, our love for the world diminishes.
God asks, "Do you love My people? Do you love what I love and hate what I hated?"
Can you distinguish that which is of the world and of the devil and that which is from Him?
No way you can do what Jesus did without the Holy Spirit. Don't forget the Holy Spirit! Let us continue on in the power of the Holy Spirit.
When we constantly abide in Him, we will not sin. Allow Him to circumcise and expose the weaknesses of my own heart.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.
Have a purity of heart, sincerity of love and holiness of walk. God will not show Himself to the wicked and those who do not want to abide in Him.
Keep His Word and His commandments and do those things which are pleasing in His sight.
Let's learn to abide in Him. Serve Him wholeheartedly and bring glory to His name and His name alone.

Spirit of Joshua, Caleb, Gideon and David (ACLC 2019)
Elder Liew Hoi Foo
16-11-2019
Joshua and Caleb see great opportunities. Go and possess the gates of the enemies.
Though we are not superstars, God sees each and everyone of us like Gideon. From 32,000 men enlisted fight the Midianites, 22,000 left. But 10,000 is still too many. God says, "I only want the 300."
In the case of David, he ran towards the enemy to possess the land.
In the case of Exodus, there was no road map to the Promised Land. God chose the obedience of Moses to lead the people to the Promised Land. The journey, though supposed to be much shorter, took 40 years.
For us, 40 years is a crossover. God's will is we need to be obedient and put our trust in Him.
There is no one size fits all.
Matthew 25:14-30 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Parable of the Talents
14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’
26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Here the talents are the people. Either we are the faithful servant or the foolish servant.
God wants us to multiply our talents. In multiplying our talents, there are risks involved.
Are we putting to good use the talents in us?
The journey of a thousand steps begin with one step. Let us begin by reaching out to the first one.
We need to be courageous to take risks.
It is not about the individual. It is about the church as a whole.
God has placed in us as a family church.
In this new season, we will be courageous to dismantle silos to be more effective so that everyone comes together to work as one.
Let us look for fishes out in the sea and the ocean.
God has brought the manna around us. God has brought so many souls around us for us to harvest.
Let's also not neglect the fishes already in the pond. Continue to serve the congregation.
Look beyond the box. Look at three services. Try not to fall into the worldview. Let us not be caught with the hardwares and bricks and mortars. Let's strengthen our people. Dare to be different. We minister from babies in the womb all the way to the golden years. Let us not be boxed in by the old traditional way of running a church. There are many opportunities for us.
Going forward, there are exciting and challenging times. Work together for the Kingdom, and not just for our own ministries. Have the Kingdom mentality.

Overcomer: There is Power in the Word of God
Pr Ruth Gabriel
10-11-2019 (Baptism message)
Matthew 3:16-17 New International Version (NIV)
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
Jesus was baptised and the Holy Spirit came in the form of flesh like a dove upon Him.
Luke 4 New King James Version (NKJV)
Satan Tempts Jesus
4 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit [a]into the wilderness, 2 being [b]tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
Temptation is common for everybody. Somewhere, some place, some time you will be tempted. Yield to the Holy Spirit to overcome with strength and power. For forty days, Jesus was tempted. He was alone in the wilderness. Stand firm in the faith that you have taken. The Holy Spirit is there to guide and protect you. God the Spirit took the bodily form like a dove. The Spirit led Him to be tempted by the devil. At that moment when He was so weak, He was hungry. He went through as how a human body would go through. The first temptation that Jesus faced was food.
Adam fell into temptation because of the flesh. Esau was hungry and gave his rights to his brother.
Luke 4:3-4 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, [c]but by every word of God.’ ”
Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 8:3. The Word is so powerful.
We always give in to the flesh's desires. The satisfaction is for a moment.
When you have the Word of God, the Word of God will satisfy you.
1 Thessalonians 3:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.
Jesus set an example for us.
Luke 4:5-8 New King James Version (NKJV)
5 [a]Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, [b]“Get behind Me, Satan! [c]For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
God is not going to disappoint you.
What is your priority?
Put your priority right and God will do the rest.
The Holy Spirit is with you. You are an overcomer, not a deceiver.
He will be your friend. He will talk to you.
Luke 4:9-13 New King James Version (NKJV)
9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
‘He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you,’
11 and,
‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not [a]tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
13 Now when the devil had ended every [b]temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
From the beginning, Jesus created the world. And it was good.
Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:13.
Hebrews 4:12 New King James Version (NKJV)
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Luke 12:16-21 New King James Version (NKJV)
16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Seek the Lord and He will fulfil the desires of your heart.
Jesus is God and at the same time, He is human.
Deuteronomy 6:13 New King James Version (NKJV)
13 You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name.
There is power in the Word of God.
The Lord will take care of you. Take a stand to follow Jesus and nobody else.
If you follow Jesus, you will make the right decision.
1 Peter 5:8 New King James Version (NKJV)
8 Be [a]sober, be [b]vigilant; [c]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Guard yourself. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you.

The Heavenly Realms (Ephesians 2:1-6)

Ephesians 2:1-6 New King James Version (NKJV)
By Grace Through Faith
2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
There is no such thing as enough in prayer.
Prayer is spiritual. It is in prayer that the spiritual realm affects the physical realm.
Every religion prays. Everyone who prays will determine what happens in the physical realm. The person who prays is the person who is connecting the physical realm and the heavenly realm.
Prayer should be a lifestyle.
Prayer is a gift from God.
There is something about the prayer life of Jesus that caused the disciples to say to Jesus, "Teach us how to pray."
If a church is to become a house of prayer, prayer cannot be delegated to a few people. Prayer must be the main life of the church.
Jesus Himself taught us how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
When a child of God does not pray, he cannot link earth to heaven and heaven back to earth. Everything starts in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 1:22-23 New King James Version (NKJV)
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Christ reigns in the heavenly realm.
We have blessings in the heavenly realms.
Constantly declare truths to ourselves.
God has great love for us.
And God is rich in mercy.
You were once not part of God's kingdom. (v. 1-3)
Because God is rich in love, grace and mercy, the fact that you are a Christian is immediately seated with Christ in heaven. (v. 6) Spiritually we are seated in heaven. And a lot of Christians do not realise that.
Why is it that we are still on earth?
The secret lies that we are reigning with Christ.
The battle for the souls of man, and the battle for the control of the physical earth is in the heavenly realms.
The spiritual realm is what affects the physical realm.
After He was resurrected, God raised Jesus far above principalities, powers and dominion. He is far above every spiritual realm. There is no opposition to the rule of God. God reigns supreme in the third heaven.
We are seated with Christ. So we are seated in the third heaven because it is a position of authority.
When God created man and woman in Genesis 1:28, He gave man and woman dominion over the earth.
But we lost it in Genesis 3.
The whole purpose of Jesus Christ is to restore us back to the original plan.
How come this is not happening?
In the second heaven, it's where the war is.
As he prayed, Daniel found that there was opposition to his prayer. And his angel, the Archangel Michael, was activated. There is warfare in the heavenlies. There is activity in the second heaven.
When you understand prayer only as warfare, we feel that the devil is stronger than God. The whole focus is stuck at the second heaven. The very fact that you're a Christian, there is spiritual attack. But you give too much credit to the devil when every time you pray, you say there is spiritual attack. You're saying that the devil is more powerful. You are focusing on the devil, and not on God. You make God as if He is inferior to the devil.
There is a world of difference between prayer altar and prayer meeting. It starts with our Father in heaven and connects with God and brings down from heaven to earth.
In the first heaven, the ruler is Satan, the prince of the power of the air. (v. 1-3) The first heaven is the heaven just where the earth--the physical realm--is.
In the first heaven, the people who live there follow the ways of the world. (v. 2) In the first heaven, what controls most of our lifestyle is worldviews.
In the first heaven, the people who live there follow the ruler of the kingdom of the air or a prince of the power of the air. Jesus rules in the third heaven. Until Jesus comes again, the physical realm is under the control of the prince of the power of the air.
1 John 5:19 New King James Version (NKJV)
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
In the physical realm, we live to satisfy the cravings of the sinful nature. (v. 3)
Position is power.
Although physically we stay on earth, Jesus left us on earth to give us authority and power.
The devil wants churches to be weak. The devil doesn't want us to pray.
The position of prayer is actually from the third heaven.
Start your prayer with connecting with God. Declare scriptural truths to align to God's purposes and God's Word. Start by praising God.
Then start praying down. Now we decree to the physical realm.
But Satan seeks to disqualify us.
Prayer is all about authority. The key is to maintain our authority.
Satan aims to take away our authority.
An ungodly man who prays has control over you. They are calling down the demonic realm to control you and me. They are calling down the second heaven.
God has give us the power. Pray down the presence of God from the third heaven.
The key to prayer is God's presence.
Satan also energises everyone who wants to rebel against God and he makes the Christian to disobey God.
The devil controls the ways of the world.
The spirit is at work in those who want to disobey God. The devil is energising them.
Isaiah 55:8-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
As Christians, we need to know the ways of God. And the only way to know the ways of God is to read the Bible.
Do not succumb to the worldview! Have the fear of God, and not the fear of men!
As a believer, when you move into the position of authority and the position of aligning with God, we are bypassing all the things that the devil wants to do and bring down power and authority from heaven.
Your calling is to be a church that has spiritual authority. The devil will fight you tooth and nail. Connect to the third heaven. Be seated with Christ in the heavenly realm.
When you pray from the third heaven, you see what God sees. Everything in prayer must start from the Father's heart.
"My Father will reveal to me what to pray."
"I know the will of the Father."
"And I will obey the will of the Father."
Connect with God in the third heaven because it is a place of authority.
Prayer is just about connecting with God, your Father in heaven. Prayer is about connecting with Christ who has victory over the earth.
We never read the Bible. We never pray. The devil makes us disobey God because we don't believe the righteous truths anymore.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16)
Our position makes us effective because we have a position of authority.
The devil has access to the throne of God. (Job 1) He can accuse the believer. Immediately we are disqualified because God cannot answer prayers by unrighteous people. He has no legal right to answer our prayers.
What then must we do? Repentence is an essential part of prayer.
Repentence makes sure the devil does not disqualify us from our position. Repentence restores our legal rights to God.

God has great love for us.
And God is rich in mercy.
You were once not part of God's kingdom. (v. 1-3)
Because God is rich in love, grace and mercy, the fact that you are a Christian is immediately seated with Christ in heaven. (v. 6) Spiritually we are seated in heaven. And a lot of Christians do not realise that.
Why is it that we are still on earth?
The secret lies that we are reigning with Christ.
The battle for the souls of man, and the battle for the control of the physical earth is in the heavenly realms.
The spiritual realm is what affects the physical realm.
After He was resurrected, God raised Jesus far above principalities, powers and dominion. He is far above every spiritual realm. There is no opposition to the rule of God. God reigns supreme in the third heaven.
We are seated with Christ. So we are seated in the third heaven because it is a position of authority.
When God created man and woman in Genesis 1:28, He gave man and woman dominion over the earth.
But we lost it in Genesis 3.
The whole purpose of Jesus Christ is to restore us back to the original plan.
How come this is not happening?
In the second heaven, it's where the war is.
As he prayed, Daniel found that there was opposition to his prayer. And his angel, the Archangel Michael, was activated. There is warfare in the heavenlies. There is activity in the second heaven.
When you understand prayer only as warfare, we feel that the devil is stronger than God. The whole focus is stuck at the second heaven. The very fact that you're a Christian, there is spiritual attack. But you give too much credit to the devil when every time you pray, you say there is spiritual attack. You're saying that the devil is more powerful. You are focusing on the devil, and not on God. You make God as if He is inferior to the devil.
There is a world of difference between prayer altar and prayer meeting. It starts with our Father in heaven and connects with God and brings down from heaven to earth.
In the first heaven, the ruler is Satan, the prince of the power of the air. (v. 1-3) The first heaven is the heaven just where the earth--the physical realm--is.
In the first heaven, the people who live there follow the ways of the world. (v. 2) In the first heaven, what controls most of our lifestyle is worldviews.
In the first heaven, the people who live there follow the ruler of the kingdom of the air or a prince of the power of the air. Jesus rules in the third heaven. Until Jesus comes again, the physical realm is under the control of the prince of the power of the air.
1 John 5:19 New King James Version (NKJV)
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
In the physical realm, we live to satisfy the cravings of the sinful nature. (v. 3)
Position is power.
Although physically we stay on earth, Jesus left us on earth to give us authority and power.
The devil wants churches to be weak. The devil doesn't want us to pray.
The position of prayer is actually from the third heaven.
Start your prayer with connecting with God. Declare scriptural truths to align to God's purposes and God's Word. Start by praising God.
Then start praying down. Now we decree to the physical realm.
But Satan seeks to disqualify us.
Prayer is all about authority. The key is to maintain our authority.
Satan aims to take away our authority.
An ungodly man who prays has control over you. They are calling down the demonic realm to control you and me. They are calling down the second heaven.
God has give us the power. Pray down the presence of God from the third heaven.
The key to prayer is God's presence.
Satan also energises everyone who wants to rebel against God and he makes the Christian to disobey God.
The devil controls the ways of the world.
The spirit is at work in those who want to disobey God. The devil is energising them.
Isaiah 55:8-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
As Christians, we need to know the ways of God. And the only way to know the ways of God is to read the Bible.
Do not succumb to the worldview! Have the fear of God, and not the fear of men!
As a believer, when you move into the position of authority and the position of aligning with God, we are bypassing all the things that the devil wants to do and bring down power and authority from heaven.
Your calling is to be a church that has spiritual authority. The devil will fight you tooth and nail. Connect to the third heaven. Be seated with Christ in the heavenly realm.
When you pray from the third heaven, you see what God sees. Everything in prayer must start from the Father's heart.
"My Father will reveal to me what to pray."
"I know the will of the Father."
"And I will obey the will of the Father."
Connect with God in the third heaven because it is a place of authority.
Prayer is just about connecting with God, your Father in heaven. Prayer is about connecting with Christ who has victory over the earth.
We never read the Bible. We never pray. The devil makes us disobey God because we don't believe the righteous truths anymore.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16)
Our position makes us effective because we have a position of authority.
The devil has access to the throne of God. (Job 1) He can accuse the believer. Immediately we are disqualified because God cannot answer prayers by unrighteous people. He has no legal right to answer our prayers.
What then must we do? Repentence is an essential part of prayer.
Repentence makes sure the devil does not disqualify us from our position. Repentence restores our legal rights to God.
DWJD: Jesus + The Pharisees

Matthew 23 New International Version (NIV)
A Warning Against Hypocrisy
23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
Jesus speaks very strongly against the Pharisees. The Pharisees were aggressively at war with Jesus. They were watching what Jesus said. They wanted to kill Him. They were religious people. They had 613 rules to follow. They followed the laws and they were evangelistic. They were the respected people in the times of Jesus.
Jesus came and had very strong words for the disciples.
The yeast was considered a silent working of evil in that time. Something came and changed the original message of Jesus. It turned the power of the gospel into something else. The yeast of the Pharisees turned the gospel into another religion.
There's something that we got to do to get God's favour. The Pharisees brought religion. Must look right, talk right, do this and cannot do this.
Jesus is saying to the disciples, "Don't do religion."
Doing religion comes out empty and it comes out destructive. It becomes a man-made religion; something that man invents to reach God.
John 8:1-11 New International Version (NIV)
8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Jesus came to bring love and acceptance to His people.
The woman had every reason to be stoned according to the law. Jesus said to her, "Go now and leave the life of sin."
God had already taken the action and the plan to salvation. The bridge to reach God has to be built by God. This God is a God of love. He does not point the finger in condemnation and sees the sin beyond the sinner.
Romans 8:1 New International Version (NIV)
Life Through the Spirit
8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
The love of God is received by faith.
Romans 1:16 New International Version (NIV)
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Luke 15 New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
They were too heavenly minded to be of earthly good.
It is comfortable to be with like minded people that we have no more interest for other people. The Pharisees look at people as lost. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees in the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the Parable of the Lost Coin and the Parable of the Lost Son. (Luke 15) The person lost is very important. Lost, but precious. Lost, but important.
There is much rejoicing in the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
When we play religion, we can get lost. The gospel turns into something that paralyses our love for others.
The Pharisees said the sinners are lost. But lost is something very close to God's heart. He's willing to go all the way for you. He died on the cross at Calvary for you and me. Because of that, we must take time to love. Let's just learn to love.
As leaders, look at yourself as a shepherd to the sheep. See from Jesus' eyes. Step out and begin to understand God's love. Lost has great value.
Go beyond our regular culture. When we begin to understand the heart of Jesus, we begin to do and act differently. The love of Christ constrains us to love one another.
Facebook and Instagram are not one's real identity.
Matthew 9:9-13 New International Version (NIV)
The Calling of Matthew
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
The tax collectors were despised. The Pharisees had given Matthew the identity of a tax collector and a sinner. They only saw the worst of him.
But Matthew became a follower of Jesus. Jesus saw a man. He did not see a sinner. He did not see a tax collector. He saw a man created by God and a man who was able to understand the love of God, not useless nor despised. Jesus saw a man named Matthew. He saw Matthew at the tax collector booth. When Matthew looked at Jesus' eyes, he saw the love of God and the hope of God. God judged him worthy of dying for. He is a child of God.
God is love. God looks at you with love. Learn to look at one another in the same way. Not with anger, accusation nor condemnation.
2 Corinthians 5:14-17 New International Version (NIV)
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!
Doing what Jesus did is not a religion; doing what Jesus did is a relationship. DWJD requires us to be His disciples.
I am no longer a slave to fear; I am a child of God.
I am no longer a slave to sin; I am a child of God.
