Prioritise the Presence of God – Apr 25th
Numbers 2
The tent of meeting was set in the middle of the camp – the presence of God must be central to everything we do! God told them how to lay the camp out through his Prophet Moses and they did it v34.
Our strategy is to do what God is telling us to do – we are bigger on obedience than business minded strategic thinking! God has called us to be a gateway for the Gospel to goto the nations – so we act like a gateway inviting people in from all nations to hear the Gospel and respond, get trained up and goto the nations and the garden fence, school gate and staff room to share what God has done!
Prioritise His presence – get it central to your daily routine and Prioritise sharing your faith with others.
Next Sunday we have our monthly prayer meeting, which will be followed by a Foundations Course discipler training session, where you can learn how to help someone cross the line of faith and baptise in the Spirit! You only need to be one step ahead to get involved discipling new converts! So please come 6.30pm Sunday 5th!
Psalm 36
“for with you is the fountain of life, in your light do we see light” – be in Him, enjoy Him, savour His life and light!
v11 – Keep us from pride and arrogance – just like B.O. everyone else but ourselves are aware of it in us! God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble!
Ecclesiastes 12
The end of the matter, the end of Solomon’s search for meaning is to fear God! He will judge good and bad – for the believer the bad is covered by Jesus’ death on the cross and wiped out, but the good counts for reward (1 Cor 3). Don’t get weary following and serving Jesus!
Philemon
Paul is a thankful man – “I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers” – why not, whenever someone comes to mind you give thanks for them – even those you don’t like. It’ll change you!
Sharing our faith increases our knowledge of God and every good thing in Him v6
