Sharing with Keith

[Acts 2:42-47]
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

3 Things about God's community

1. They are united in spiritual activities
Eg. eating(breaking of bread!), fellowship

Therefore, seek forth to be united in seeking after a common goal - in the seeking and knowing who God iz. Not forgetting that fellowship is important. Moving in a same direction in unity -unity around God's vision, the Word of God, through close fellowship and the encouraging of one another (:

2. There is power in God's community
Your expectation determines the level you hit.
Eg. If you aim to just pass your exams, you usually fail :p

In Christ, the aura of expectation is predetermined by your understanding and experience of God, indicating the level you hit.

Therefore, challenge yourself to have a higher and deeper understanding of God, giving rise to you being a person of impact and change. When we are open to Him, God will challenge our understanding. And thus, when we decide to take in that spiritual food, it is only natural that we grow - spiritually in understanding and thereafter, raising the ceiling of expectations we have of and in Christ.

3. Sharing brings growth

At the end of the day, seek to bring the blessings and love of Christ to the people. It's not about being loyal to the club, CCM, it's about being God-loyal (:


Have a great weekend!
See you in church! :D
