Reflections over the weekend - part 2 (by Roar)

"We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me." - Col 1:28-29

I've forgotten cleanly about this verse if not for the Lord's reminder. This was one key verse Pastor used to teach us last weekend. Is it possible to present everyone perfect in Christ? I realised that what Paul means here, is that the believer grows perfectly well in God. He walks with God, loves God and knows God and he's still growing. It is impossible to make everyone in the church perfect, but just like a baby who is perfect bcuz he has all his limbs and body parts in place. And when he reaches the right age, he starts reading and walking - perfect in whatever stage of growth he is. Based on this definition, not every believer can be deemed 'perfect', bcus not everyone of them are where they are. So we must labor in prayer and in our teaching and service so that we present everyone, you , me, us, perfect in Christ. Let's aim for perfection! Amen.

Today's Devotion (by Roar)

The Lord has been affirming in my heart his word that's written in 1 John 4:4-6
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us."

Frankly speaking, during the past 2 weeks I felt a bit overwhelmed by the excessive lectures & things that were crowding over my life. I felt overpowered by Satan. I even came to a point where I actually believed that Satan is stronger than me - since he rules over everything in this world. And of course, I felt terrified and weak.

Therefore when God revealed this truth upon my heart again, I really repented in dust & ashes. This word gave me great inspiration to live & fight victorious ever since. And I claim the Lord's resurrection power over my life. Amen!

Reflections over the weekend (by Roar)

The Lord signaled to me to get things right before moving on with this year. The INNER HEALING camp provided the right atmosphere & time for me to settle scores with God - & I must say tat it has been a truly fruitful time with the Lord.

I rem the Lord said to me, "You have to roar again." You must understand that God uses very straightforward & clear language with me. I understand it is time to fight like a warrior again, to roar against the forces of darkness again & now is the time to claim back the territories that God wants to give to me. It's been a long time since I really get myself involved in spiritual warfare. But Ps Eugene reaffirms what God is saying to me on Sun, quoting from 2 Tim 2:3 "Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus." I understand tat as I fight, i must fight with endurance, and i must believe God for what I'm fighting for. He wants to release my inner man again; the fighter that once fought hard against those unseen enemies; resilient, aggressive & unshakeable, and yet was forced to recede by a great setback. Today he is coming back, and the glory of the Lord will return upon him. Thank you Lord.

I was really pleased to see that everyone was having fun last nite. It seems that Huimin's cell has been growing at quite an incredible rate. Also very happy to see Weiling & Yingru. And of course, I finally got to play pool again. It is truly a blessing to be able to spend such time with my spiritual family.

Read Ps 77 and some portions of Numbers today. Still meditating on them. I like Psalms so much, cuz it says out everything i want to tell God. Something I found to be very useful over the weekend: Pray for sanctification & protection over my mind from ungodly stuff, in place of all negative thoughts, optimism , purity & great inspiration abt things - I'm seeing very good results in my mental life today.

The biblical foundation of u pple are poor. That is of concern; bcuz ur weak faith makes u weak against satan's constant harrassment. I'll be doing up a weekly devotion worksheet to ensure that u guys start getting to know ur stuff, otherwise, there's no need to talk about spiritual fathering.
