This is Our God - Hillsong Music Pastor Benjamin Lim said that this sermon is entitled "My Last Sermon" but i'm not sure if he was joking because he was laughing when he said that, so I took the liberty to name it something else! We must never get tired of hearing the word of Grace because it is the Gospel. Don’t get familiar with it. Acts 20:32 - It’s not the word of the Law that builds you up—it’s the word of God’s Grace that builds you up. Sometimes our breakthroughs in life don’t come to us, but through us. God builds us up stronger so we can overcome our challenges. Inheritance is exciting because it’s something we don’t have to work for. We only need to say yes and receive it. “Now, brothers, I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” (Acts 20:32 WEB) When you hear the word of Grace, miracles and supply come into your life. It is by the ‘foolishness’ of preaching that God saves us. 2 Corinthians 3:18 - Sometimes God does instant miracles and at other times He works in our lives gradually. When God enters our lives, we become brighter and more beautiful. Grace is progressive in our lives. Sinful habits drop off gradually. Let God clean up your sinful behaviors by confessing that you are still the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, even in the midst of your sin. Over time you will grow to hate your sinful habits and will no longer be able to enjoy them. When you know and believe you are right with God, everything in your life will gradually become right. When the journey is long, it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. You are next in line for a breakthrough—God is open for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. “Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18 MSG) Don’t feel guilty when you don’t read the Bible—feel hungry. The Bible is God’s love letter to us. In these 66 books of the Bible, He prepared an answer for us in every situation we will ever face in life.
Pastor Benjamin Lim shared that God has a right timing for everything in our lives. Going fast doesn’t mean you will arrive at your destination. Go slowly and consistently by God's Grace and you will reach your destination. Weapons may be formed against you on the way, but they won't prosper, as God is for you!
