Now, this week......Worship leader > Jeffery!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now we can see him worship more often (like wat pastor said > give encouragement...) WELL DONE JEFFERY!!!!!!! You did a fantastic job....if you missed out this weeks songs...here are this week worship songs, Happy Day - Tim Hughes, Eagles Wings, To The Ends of The Earth - Hillsong and One Way! - Hillsong United...
Moving on...mentioned last week, Pastor will be telling us, "what really is His Generation"...and yesterday was the continuation of it...So, what is His Generation really means?
"His" simply means Jesus or God...and followed by "Generation" means generation hahaha...so in a nut shell, His Generation means Jesus's or God's Generation....
Is it just that? Nope....there is more into it...His also means, He Intends S....
He intends what?
1. He Intends Salvation...
Jesus intends Salvation through this Generation...He intends Salvation in this land...How do we get salvation? the answer is US...He intends Salvation means that we as His children are required to make that happen...we are the ones that need to tell the world who is Jesus and what he had done in our lives...In other words, through His Generation, let there be Salvation...
2. He Intends Surrender...
Surrender...its a really big and powerful words...Speaking of surrender, it means giving up yourself towards something or someone...Jesus intends His people to surrender to Him...He wants everyone to obey Him and follow Him "to the ends of the earth"...Who or what are we surrendered to...some surrender themselves to money, some to games, some to their work, some to internet, some to music...No doubt those things are not wrong and indeed are important...but the problem appears when we who called ourselves children of Jesus Christ put these things as our no1. priority in life...making us surrendering to these things...what Jesus wants is that we give a 100% of commitment towards Him without any terms...the bible said, when you give a 100% commitment towards Jesus, and all things will be provided by Him...this includes your money, music and etc...our God is a God who provides, so there is nothing to worry about...Thus, His Generation is a Generation who surrender 100% towards Jesus...
3. He Intends Santification...
He intends "Santification"...Santification means, changing yourself...in other words, changing from bad to good....Santification can also means transformation...in the world today, generally people will follow the ways of the world...they will follow the ways of other people...the ways of the world such as smoking, drinking, gambling, on night stand, sexual imoralities...all this are the desires of the world and the desires of our body...these things are not wat Jesus wants...He wants us not to follow the desires of the world but to follow the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ...Santification also means, setting ourselves apart from the rest..."rest" > from those people who are with the desires of the world...Does this means that we are not allowed to mix and fellowship with them? No, not at all...Mix with them, talk with them and of coarse for all means fellowship with them...setting apart means that, whatever they do which go against God's will, we shall not follow them..our friends might smoke, but we set apart from them by not smoking...our friends might be watching pornography, but we set apart from not watching it...That is what Jesus wants from us...to be different! to be more of the image of Him rather than the image of this world...So, His Generation is a Generation that wants to set apart from the desires of the world...
4. He Intends Service...
He intends Service...many will look at this as, oh, He wants everyone to be Pastors or missionaries...wrong...he intends service does not mean that we must become pastors or missionaries...hmmm...this is a little bit hard to explain...take this as example....We as sinners are slaves to the devil...but with the grace of God as we wants all to be His children, Jesus, paid the price to the devil to free us...to make us free from the bondage of sin...he paid the price...how much?He paid the price with His life...he was crucified and took away our punishment, our sins...just to make us free...want he wants in return is to believe in Him and do his will...that is why we are the workmanship who serve the Lord...Yes, you can serve to be a pastor or a missionary...and yes, you can serve Him without being pastors or missionaries...ways of serving is doing good towards others...its all in the bible...Praying for others, being generous towards others, helpful...these are all ways to serve...even encouraging people is a way to serve...some poeple serve the Lord in music, some with their words and some by just hearing...even now, I am serving Him by writing this post...As we serve the Lord, we will learn things that we do not learn in school, colleges or university...Do you know that there is only one thing that will ensure your success in future? it is more important than all the degrees or even money that you achieve...it is your character...and by serving Him, God will surely build your character...to wrap this up, His Generation is a Generation that will give their service unto the Lord...
