Words in season...
God has been speaking through sermons and messages and I just wanted to share some that really ministered to me....
Pastor Benny Ho's sermon on "Habits"...
--> he spoke of the need to demolish old habits that lead to unrighteousness and build new habits that lead to righteousness with the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:17-19) --
"without God we cannot but without us, God WILL not"
--> after deciding to change, we must take action to change --
"motivation = motive + action"
--> HABIT, take away the H, still have A BIT, take away A little bit, still have BIT, take away the B, still have IT --> all of IT, the old habit, must be demolished in its entirety by crucifying it on the cross
--> he also spoke abt the need to Demonstrate Accountability by staying in a community of believers (church / cell group)
"the banana that leaves the bunch gets eaten!!"
He also shared an analogy that really blessed me.....
Sugar in a cup of TEA
"When we are saved, we are being baptised into Christ by the Holy Spirit... we are like a teaspoon of granulated sugar placed in a cup of tea, Initially, you can still see the sugar (the ME / old self) at the bottom of the cup of tea, but as the Holy Spirit starts to stir, with each sugar grain representing areas of our lives that needs to be brought before the Lord, each grain starts to melt and soon enough u no longer see the sugar grains but a cup of tea... You no longer see ME but CHRIST in me"
the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit will continue to work in us until Christ is formed in each and everyone of us...
Another preacher that has blessed me with words for the season...Rev. Paulette Reed
--> "we don't have to be right in the eyes of man but we must be MEEK in the eyes of God"
--> "the world's way of lowliness may appear a bad thing but God's way of lowliness is a GREAT thing"
--> in her latest newsletter (link below), she spoke abt believers being as arrows in a quiver (covering /protection in Christ) which is what describes the season that I am going through right now... truly, a word in season... paraphrasing a thought that really spoke to me...
"it matters not how often or how long an arrow is out of the quiver, but it is absolutely critical that it hits the bull's eye when it is released"
