What is hindering you from freely living out the calling that God has for your life?

points:
The Battle Continues
God’s Faithfulness continues

a man of faith
a man of favour
a man of fellowship
reflection:
Sit down with Holy Spirit and ask God to reveal to you who you can reach and share your faith with.

We are all called to be and make disciples in our individual space of influence. Just like Paul, be encouraged to keep pressing in to Jesus and pressing on to fulfill the Great Commission. By His Grace, may we become men & women of faith, favour and fellowship.
Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.

Ps Josh - Acts 27: Speak faith to the fearful | GLM
main scripture: acts 27:20-44
points:
embrace the paradox of the storm - god is in full control and we are fully responsible

What’s my part to play in God’s plan?
How seriously do I take what God has said?
Where do I need to step up and speak out?

Ps Josh - Acts 26: Am I Intimidated? | GLM
main scripture: acts 26:19-32
points:
our message will sound like madness to many. don’t ever apologise for speaking the truth.
an informed faith is a stronger faith. understand as much as possible to believe as fully as possible.
boldness is your best defence. never let intimidation hinder you from your mission.
reflection:
What’s my mission?
Am I allowing any intimidation to hinder the fulfilment of my mission?
encouragement:
People may say that we are out of our minds when we share with them the Gospel. Be encouraged to stand on your beliefs even when people try to intimidate you. No matter what happens, God has got you in the palm of His hand. There is nothing that can separate us from His love.
And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.” But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words.

Ps Josh - Acts 25: Is your dilemma a doorway? | GLM
main scripture: acts 25:1-12
points:
don’t let bitterness bind you - live the let-go life
never give oxygen to the lies about you - the truth will set you free
keep your cool and trust the plan - god turns dilemmas into doorways
reflection:
What do I need to hand over to Jesus? What accusations have I bought into? Is my problem a doorway to fulfil His promises?
encouragement:
Life as a disciple of Christ is not a walk in the park. There will be times when people will accuse us of something untrue. In fact, the enemuy accuses us all day, everyday. Be encouraged that you are not alone and that Jesus is walking with you. Be steadfast in His love and allow your dilemma to be a doorway for God to fulfil His promises and work His miracle.
So Paul said, “I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know. For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.”

Andrew F - Acts 24: Our Testimony is our Defence | GLM
main scripture: acts 24:1-27
points:
the Accuser of the brethren
Our testimony is our defence
Felix’s cowardly response
reflection:
Is today a convenient time for you to respond to the call of God on your life?
encouragement:
God has a purpose for each of our lives. It is not a matter of when He will call us to fulfill that purpose but rather when we are ready to go and walk in it.
Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.”

Ps Josh - Acts 23: God’s not done with you | GLM
main scripture: acts 23:1-15
points:
be bold! when your faith is on trial, your heart will be tested.
be wise! how you see things affects how you’ll solve things.
be encouraged! no matter how bad things look, it’s not over ‘til god says it is.
reflection:
How do you find encouragement in God?
encouragement:
In whatever circumstance you are in now, the Lord is standing next to you. Even if you have received a bad report, be encouraged that God’s not done with you until He says so. Be encouraged to open your Bible and spend some time in His presence. An encounter with Jesus changes everything!
The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.”

Ps Brett - Acts 22: Testifying for the Glory of God | GLM
main scripture: acts 22:1-22
points:
the compelling testimony
the confronting testimony
the confident testimony
reflection:
Sit with Holy Spirit and ask Him who He leads you to share your testimony. When that time comes, are you ready to share what Jesus has done for you?
encouragement:
Your testimony must be centered on Jesus and the revelation of what He has done for you. You don’t have to be of high standing or have a degree from Bible college to be able to share your testimony. The real power behind any testimony is not how bad we were, but about who changed you and how He changed you by grace and by faith. The power of your testimony is not seen in immediate results but is seen in the power of the Holy Spirit as he moves in our lives over time.
And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent.

Ps Ross - Acts 21: Managing Expectations | GLM
main scripture: acts 21:1-14
points:
a potential conflict
managing expectations
god’s will be done
reflection:
If I’m not exactly where I should be, then what can I do to have an impact for the Kingdom of God?
encouragement:
When we receive a prophetic word, let us take it with a grain of salt. It is not the accuracy of the word that is important rather it is the expectations of the giver or receiver of the prophecy. Be encouraged to submit each word you receive to God and ask Him what He is doing rather than how we want Him to make this word come to pass.
In the event that God says “Not Yet” to what we are praying for, let us continue to grow to be more like Jesus and have an impact on his Kingdom.
Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”
