Paul Benger finished off our One Prayer series in church today. An excellent message entitled ‘God make us believe the Gospel’.
God’s heart is to win the world...to redeem the world, not to condemn and to punish. We see the world in the state it is in today because it is a fallen world...repressive regimes, rising prices, failing economies.
The Gospel is good news and lifts the lives of people. Where there is a way God will find them through you and me. Jesus prayed, ‘Your Kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven’.
God sent his son Jesus...He is the answer to poverty, to sickness!
Romans 1:16 – I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes
I’m not ashamed of the good news of the Gospel. The Gospel is good news and not bad news!
The Gospel is Good News because of how lost we were
Colossians 2:13 – You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
Our world is not the way it ought to be...not the way it was meant to be! We live in a fallen world. The Gospel is good news when we realise how lost we are until we know Jesus.
We owed a debt we couldn’t pay...Jesus paid it. The price he paid was worth it even just for our individual debt as much as the collective debt of the whole world.
When we realise what God has done it causes us to worship him...to sing like never before!
In the Gospel of Luke it tells of the time a women anointed Jesus feet with expensive perfume. Some questioned her inappropriate behaviour, and yet Jesus was happy for her to do this. Jesus said this, ‘Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven - for she loved much’. She loves much because she has been forgiven much.
The Gospel is Good News because it is a Gift from God
Ephesians 2:8 – For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God
The only way we can receive this gift is through faith. Faith is the currency of Heaven. God had to give us that gift so that we could believe. We couldn’t pay for it, we couldn’t earn it!
Salvation through Jesus Christ is an abundant life right here and now. It’s the abundance of grace that helps us walk with God in any situation.
Isaiah 53:4-5 – Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We need a revelation of the Gospel...the church needs a fresh revelation of the Gospel today!
This Gospel is Good News because it is ‘news’ and not ‘advice’
This news of the Gospel has been given to us, it’s already been done...we just need to respond to it.
We are heralds of this good news...not military advisors! We can now live in the peace of this message. He has done it all...finished...the price has been paid in full!
Hebrews 10:12,14 – But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God...For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
Jesus has won...the victory is ours! We now live for him out of joy not duty.
The Gospel is Good News because of our New Position
Ephesians 2:4-6 – But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Our primary address...seated in heavenly places with Jesus! Our condition reflects our position in Christ. Live from that place.
We are ministering reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation
This is what we’re called to do...to bring hope, to lift the lives of people. This is our message today...reconciling people to God. This the good news of the Gospel!
When we realise what God has done in our lives it causes us to cry out to Him in worship. We honour Him and lift Him high!

One Prayer III
Kevin Gerald continued our One Prayer series in church yesterday. A great message entitled ‘God make us Unreal’.
People often say ‘I’m just being real’ or ‘It’s the way I am’. What if our ‘real’ is rude or selfish is arrogant or moody, or full of pride?
Do we want to be ‘real’ or do we want to be Christ-like?
We need a new way of thinking today. Don’t be true to yourself...deny yourself. Self can get in the way...it can mess things up. Being real can get in the way of God’s plan for you...his purposes.
We need to aim for God’s mark and high calling. He wants the best for us. Free us up from being real...the limitations of our ‘self’.
Ephesians 4:22 – You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires
1) There’s a new and better me than the natural me
Being ‘real’ is overrated. Where is ‘being real’ getting people today in society?
People get on ‘trains of thought’ and end up travelling to a place they didn’t really want to go. They jump on the first train leaving the station. Our first thought is often not normally the best thought.
Stay in the train station a little longer and wait for a better train of thought!
Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things
Isaiah 55:8 – For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD
Ephesians 4:23 – to be made new in the attitude of your minds (Amplified Version) – And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude
2) This new and better me is the new me created by God
Ephesians 4:24 – and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness
God has called us to ‘put off’...and to ‘put on’. God make us unreal! Fake it ‘til you make it! People often hate that kind of unreality and yet we do have the choice to choose between two kinds of people we’re going to be like...the old you or the new creation. In the plan and purposes of God there is a new and better you!
It’s the authentic me that God has called me to be. Authenticity is a ‘put on’...but make it God’s authenticity.
We need to embrace a new language...a language of faith. It may not form easily in our mouths, but we are called to our ‘new self’.
3) Becoming the new and better me includes the process called authentic imitation
To be Christ-like, to imitate him.
Galatians 4:19 – My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you
Don’t be true to the natural way of doing things, be Christ-like...imitate his nature and character.
Become a champion, put on a new self...develop better habits in your life. New and better habits will release a new and better life. Get rid of the worrying habit and put on the trusting habit. Put on an encouraging habit and get rid of the complaining habit.
Let Christ be formed in you in a brand new way. Don’t be real if being real is negative...be unreal. God make me unreal!
People often say ‘I’m just being real’ or ‘It’s the way I am’. What if our ‘real’ is rude or selfish is arrogant or moody, or full of pride?
Do we want to be ‘real’ or do we want to be Christ-like?
We need a new way of thinking today. Don’t be true to yourself...deny yourself. Self can get in the way...it can mess things up. Being real can get in the way of God’s plan for you...his purposes.

Let Christ be formed in you in a brand new way. Don’t be real if being real is negative...be unreal. God make me unreal!

One Prayer II
We continued our ‘one prayer’ series this morning in church. Greg Surratt brought a great message. His one prayer was ‘God make us obedient’.
We live in a society that suffers from selfishness or self-will. We often find it difficult to obey. We want to obey but there is always something pulling us in a different direction. Obedience is a testing time.
Luke 5:1-11
After Jesus had finished teaching the people he told Peter to go fishing again. Peter could have told Jesus that this was the wrong time to fish. They had fished all night, the correct time to fish, but had caught nothing.
Peter’s attitude was this, ‘Because you say so...I will let down my nets’. They went on to catch many fish.
Greg went on to share with us a great sentence, ‘In God’s relentless pursuit of us…’
Peter was not pursuing God...God was pursuing him. Jesus was pursuing something in Peter that nobody wanted. Jesus was calling fishermen, not brightest people around at that time.
He saw something in Peter that no one else had seen. He saw what he could be and not what he was. Peter blew it on so many occasions and so do we. Yet God is still calling us to live for him, to follow him.
‘…He uses no fish moments…’
‘No fish moments’ are obedience moments for us with God. In a ‘no fish moment’ it’s easier for God to get our attention. We are more open to change...willing to obey God...to follow his lead.
What to do in ‘no fish moments’...
Review what God has done. He has done so much for you!
Remind yourself of what God can do. Look at the promises in his word. ‘I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!’
Philippians 4:4-7 – Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Remember that God doesn’t waste a season
‘…to lead us to “Because you say so” obedience…’
Think of examples when we are reluctant or find it hard to obey God’s commands. It’s time to take on the ‘Because you say so’ obedience.
‘…resulting in boat-sinking moments…’
We will experience the miracle catch when we have this obedient attitude. Let us not give grudging obedience to God.
Just see what God will do...a boat-sinking miracle!
Peter went on to leave his nets and follow Jesus. ‘Because you say so’ obedience leads us on to ‘boat sinking moments’. This determines and shapes our destiny forever!
Ephesians 3:20-21 – Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

One Prayer I
We began our ‘one prayer’ series this morning in church. If there was one prayer you could pray what would that be? Paul Benger began with the prayer ‘God make us Good Stewards’.
God has entrusted us with so much...people, relationships, finances, our church. Christian Life Church has been given to us on trust...to make her everything she can be!
We all have a responsibility to make this church the best she can be. God has entrusted us with gifts and talents. The Gospel, the good news has been given to us on trust. Be good stewards. Make me a good steward. Make us good stewards. We all need to pray that prayer. There is always room for improvement.
You are a person of great value. God has entrusted you to look after so many things. We need to find out the things that we need to do to develop and grow...to be fruitful.
Matthew 25:14-29
We come across 5 words in this passage that reveal the Master and also the nature of how the good steward serves. Well Done Good and Faithful Servant
These verses will help us today as we pray the prayer ‘God make us good stewards’
1) WELL – A commitment to excellence
The master never said ‘averagely done good and faithful servant’.
We’re not talking about attaining perfection. Being a good steward is doing the very best we can with what we have.
Give yourself to doing the very best for God. God will give us more, entrust us with more. Increase will come...it’s on it’s way!
2) DONE – A commitment to action
It’s all about action. Gifts were given according to their ability, as he knew they could cope with them.
The lazy servant didn’t do anything. The good steward fulfilled his ability. He had learned to do things according to his ability.
Don’t kill God’s vision for your life. Don’t bury it. Leap into action! Begin to do and believe that God is with you.
3 & 4) GOOD and FAITHFUL – A commitment to character
To do things right and to do it in the right way. What does God want from me? My personality and my gifting.
Having less isn’t pretence for not being a good steward.
5) SERVANT – A commitment to live for Christ
When we serve Christ, when we honour him with what he has given us, we will get blessed from the fall-out!
Malachi says we won’t be able to contain the blessing! The room won’t be big enough...we’ll need a bigger room! As we are faithful we will know this uncontainable blessing!
The servant spirit is looking for the Masters happiness. We’re serving the Kingdom. Everything about me is living for Him and for his Kingdom!

Strongholds
Jeannie Benger brought a great message in church this morning concerning strongholds.
What we think about ourselves or what other people think is not what’s important but what God thinks about us.
Isaiah 55:8-9 – For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts
God wants us to live with his thoughts about us. Have confidence in God and his plans for our lives.
Philippians 1:6 – being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus
There is no half measure with God. He will bring it to completion!
People may have been negative to you in the past with comments like, ‘you’ll never make it’ – but with God this is not true, it’s not what he thinks about you. ‘I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!’
Your thinking determines your outcome in life. Proverbs 23:7 - For as he thinks in his heart, so is he
You may have once thrived but became stunted - your thoughts may have changed to negative, defeatist, bitter thoughts. Opposite to what God thinks about you. Don’t let those thoughts consume you.
Hebrews 12:15 – See to it that no-one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 – For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
Bring every thought into captivity! Take the negative thought and take it captive before it takes root.
A stronghold starts with a thought. We need to keep our thinking in line with the word of God.
The four areas to watch out for in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5:
1) Thoughts
Take every thought and line it up with the word of God. Don’t let your thoughts run free. ‘It’s easier to pull a weed out of the garden when it is still small’. Pluck it out before it takes root.
2) High Things
The high things that are against the knowledge of God. They constantly preoccupy your mind...it’s the only thing we think about! It might be a negative spoken to us, a fear, a magnified perspective...these things become the ‘high things’.
3) Arguments
These thoughts progress into arguments, no longer just in your mind – you make an argument out of it!
4) Strongholds
Is what it implies...something that has taken a strong hold of you. When wrong thoughts become strongholds they take root.
The kind of strongholds we may have in our life...
Guilt
We beat ourselves up...about our past about the times we stuffed up. Jesus has nailed our weaknesses to the cross. He has not finished with us! As Christians we are never meant to carry our guilt...Jesus has taken this way!
Comparison
The ‘if only’ stronghold! Always thinking it could be better...the wrong perception that things are better on the other side! It’s not good to compare.
Negativity
The verbalisation of a defeat. This is the most limiting factor for so many people. Don’t let it have such a controlling impact on our lives…know you have a God given destiny. Spend a few moments listening to yourself speak, hear what you say sometimes.
We often think the worst is going to happen. Negativity will trap you and hold you down. It can cause us to miss out on God’s exciting plan for our lives.
Limitation
Do you live with limitation in your life? We can live with the ‘you’ll never make it’ thinking all our lives.
There are ways that helps us to overcome these strongholds…
Romans 12:2 – Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is— his good, pleasing and perfect will
We can see God’s will for our lives if we allow our minds to be renewed, to change our thinking.
Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things
The way we think effects our attitude and moods. We need to turn our thoughts to the way that God thinks about us.
With negativity, the change begins in you. Psalm 19:7 – The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple
His word transforms your soul. Change that starts on the inside. How you look at yourself and the future.
External change is a reflection of what’s happening on the inside…as we allow a new way of thinking.
Psalm 139:14 – I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well
Live from this position of blessing in God!
What we think about ourselves or what other people think is not what’s important but what God thinks about us.
Isaiah 55:8-9 – For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts
