Seven Power Tools

SEVEN - a perfect number

This morning, at the combined service, Rev Mark Conner shared a simple yet powerful message. He entitled it as "The Seven Power Tools to Build God's House" reminding me once again to strengthen the basics of faith.

Power Tool 1: LOVE (1 Pet 4:8-9)

Faith, hope & love, but the greatest of these is love. Truly, love is the main basic & an important ingredient in God's house. He has exhibited love in two-folds: God-to-man & man-to-man. In fact, His best love gift to mankind is His only Son, Jesus Christ. The measure of a great church is the degree of love for one another. No sound doctrine & no powerful worship can attract people to church, when there is no love. People matter to God! We need to reach beyond our borders by loving our neighbours.

Power Tool 2: SERVE (1 Pet 4:10)

Every ministry is significant for the building of God's house. We need to effect our service in church by discovering our giftings.

Power Tool 3: PRAYER (1 Tim 2:1)

Prayer determines victory & things happen when we pray. P.U.S.H. is Pray Until Something Happens. We need to engage into passionate prayers by praying for our leaders & people.

Power Tool 4: WORSHIP (Heb 10:24-25)

Worship is a daily lifestyle & corporate worship brings great anointing. Coal gathers with coal will produce bigger fire. We need to enter into God's presence by deepening our personal & corporate worship encounters.

Power Tool 5: Unity (Eph 4:3)

Unity reconciles when there is conflict & there is power in unity. We need to promote unity by seeking for reconciliation.

Power Tool 6: GIVING (Prov 3:9-10)

Be a giver to build God's house. It is always more blessed to give than receive, so we need to build God's house by giving more generously.

Power Tool 7: REACH OUT (Luke 10:2, 5, 8-9)

When one soul is saved, the whole heavens rejoice. Be the middle link, not the missing link. That kind of lost-but-found joy is indescribable, so we need to see the revival of God's house by telling others about the Kingdom of God.

Finally, remember this: Unless the Lord builds the house, our labour will be in vain. Be diligent in building God's house and He will likewise build yours.
