21 Sep 830am, i stepped into room 6A ready to preach God's word at the 1st Eng service. As mentioned, i couldn't finish the conclusion the night before due to physical fatigue. Thank God for giving me ideas in the morning. Truly, the bird in the morning will eat the worm, & i sense the flow of thoughts as i prayed for God's wisdom. After taking over the pulpit, i brought the people's attention to Joshua 3:1-4:24, where Joshua like Moses would bring the Israelites to cross the River Jordan. My sermon title is "You Want to Cross Your Jordan? CHANGE!" No matter how ridiculous things may be, God can do the impossibilities. I challenged the people to change their mind from seeing problems to fulfilling promises, change their heart from entertaining doubts to building trust & finally change their move from conquering fears to overcoming faith.
Your jordan may be moving into a new career, serving in a new ministry, starting a new family or making a major decision. Remember God! Go to His Word regularly, open it prayerfully, read it expectantly & live it joyfully. It is said that challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They are what make the instrument stretch, what makes you go beyond the norm. My friends, change your mind, heart & move to see that challenges & problems many times are good to make you a better person. Max Lucado said "God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way."
Praise God for anointing me to preach the sermon. I know it's God because of the flow of thoughts & confidence (haha..quite scary initially because Ps Chia & Ps Chng were in the service..oops..hehe).
