HiS G3NeRaTiOn 29th AuGuSt & 5th SePt3mBeR 2008

Finally i'm able to update this blog...Very sorry for the delay as Jeffery and I were busy through out the weeks...i just finish my trials...so got room to breath already :) Ok, for this post, i will include all points of the sermons from Ps. Koshy for the past 3 weeks....

Continuation of DNA

Again what is DNA?
Divine Truth
Nurturing Relationship
Apostolic Mission...

So Jesus is DNA & Jesus commands DNA...which makes it the DNA of His Generation should be based on the what Jesus is and what Jesus commands....

Divine Truth - WALK

-Do you know why we are called Christians? Its a simple question and it also have a simple answer to it... Chirst-ians...in other words, we are Christ followers...

-Jesus Christ is the truth...(you sand it 'you are the way, the truth and the light')...so when we are Christ-ians means we belong to Jesus, thus we need to represent the life that Jesus lived for...A life with truth....

- What is walk? Walk can also be said live...Walk/live in the ways of Jesus...to elaborate, walk means we are worthy of the Lord by putting off the old and putting on the new...Putting of the old sins and putting on the new cleansed heart...

- As Christians, it so important to walk a life with Jesus...for example, if lets say one has a habit of stealing before becoming a christian...when he becomes a believer, the he steals twice the time he did when he wasn't a believer...and many people are like that...if this scenario happens then there is something wrong...if this scenario happens also, one is not walking a life worthy of the Lord...

- i think the points are clear enough :)


Nurturing relationship - WORD

- Jesus commanded us to build relationship with one another...love your neighbours as yourself simply means that we love those around just the same way that we love our own self...in other words, it also tells us not to be greedy...Give way and show as much love as possible to those around you...caring, encouragement, listening and etc is are all ways for us as believers to love...(was taken from the previous post to refresh u all )

- Before we can nurture relationship, we must be enriched with the word of God...It is so important for Christians to read the word of God and to be rich in it...(i'm telling this to myself also) Because when we are rich in the word of God we are also rich in the spirit of God...The word of God is the truth (divine truth) And the word of God needs to flow into our relationship with people...

- Through our relationship with people, we need to affect people's life (to the positive site of coarse) We need to change the life of people...The change darkness into light, to change the bad to the good...thats the aim of nurturing relationship...what is the meaning of relationship if one does not change one's life from bad to good through the relationship...relationship or what we call today is friendship is something where one cares for another person...by caring, one must improve the life of another person...That is nurturing relationship...


Apostolic Mission

- Apostolic mission can be divided into to types, (click here if you do not know the meaning of Apostolic mission)
i ) Warfare
ii) Witness

- warfare does not mean that go for war and etc...it means prayer...One thing which is lacking in the life of christians now days is prayer...if we want to reach out to others, we need to pray...Pray for our friends, family, teachers or people around us...Prayer is the most powerful tool that God has given us...If prayer can heal the sick, if prayer can stop wars and killing, if prayer can drive out demons and evil out of people's body, is it imposible for people to know God by prayer? Not impossible!

- Witness...witness is evangelism...one of the most hardess thing to do for christians is witnessing...Before i go further, do you know that, Jesus Christ has asked/remind us to be witnesses for poeple who do not know him 5 times in the bible...Now, whatever Jesus says is important, if Jesus says it twice, its very important, 3 times, very very important...imagine Jesus saying it for 5 times...how serious could Jesus be? Don't believe? Look into the bible...(find it...now is the time to read the bible hehehehe)

- Why is evangelism so important...Jesus wants all of his creation to be with him in heaven...but sadly not all of them are following him...'make disciples of all nations' thats is what Jesus commended us...to make followers of Jesus from all nations so that one day, they might also be lifted up into heaven...

- I'll go into how to make evangelism effective another day...

Heavy huh? guess what...there is more to go...hahahahaha...Next post will be second part :)

photos will be updated later....
