-Pst. Kong Hee
Six Phases of Faith
Mat 14:24-33
Faith is like muscle - it needs to be build up
Everything that God does is based on the kingdom's principles-very predictable
So is building our faith
Phase 1: God gives me a dream
Mat 14:28
A goal, desire is all where it started
A dream from God will require faith
Phase 2: We need to come to a decision
Mat 14:29
Peter acted out his dream
We need to invest our time, effort & leave our comfort zone for our dream to come to pass
If we procrastinate on our decision -we as good as willing our dream to Satan
Phase 3: We will face difficulties
Mat 24:30
Part of God's plan to build up our faith
Phase 4: We may face delays
Mat 24:30
My dream today won't be fulfil tomorrow - seed, time & harvest
God is more interested in my character than my project
Why do we need to wait? Because it will teach us to trust in God- that He will come to pass for us
Delay is not denial
Phase 5: We then reach a Dead-End
Mat 25:30
Abraham - father of many nations
Rom 4:19
Abraham after having his name changed by God was facing a dead-end
But God doesn't play games or make mistakes
We will be exactly where God wants us to be
Do we need to make the decision that we needed to make but procrastinated upon?
Jer 33:3
Phase 6: Deliverance
Mat 14:31-32
Jesus is a miracle-working God
Our impossibilities are God's opportunities
All the heroes of faith went through the 6 cycles
Isa 40:30
How to WAIT upon the Lord
Withstand : Eph 6:13
Anticipate : Psa 27:13 TLB
-Expectation is the atmosphere for miracles!
God works accordingly to our faith not our talent, welfare or situation
Heb 6:19
HOPE : Holding On & Praying Excessively
Intercede : Luk 18:1
Don't give up on our prayer life
Psm 5:3
No instant results - pray until we get a breakthrough
Prayer Life - Only this separates the Christian & the Spiritual Giant
Trust : Pro 3:5-6
Acknowledge God in all our ways - then He will direct our paths
God is never early or late but He is always on time
Endure & Expects great things from God

21/03/2010 : What it means to be a Christian
-Pst. Tan Ye Peng
What it means to be a Christian
History seems to tell us that to know God, we need to chase after Him
But that's not what it is stated in the bible
-For issues of Love you must go personally
That's why Jesus came personally to know us & this didn't stop after He ascended int Heaven but it continued till today by the Holy Spirit
Let's look at our the disciples in the Book of Acts show themselves to be called Christians
Act 1:4-8
The Jews thought that Jesus is here only for them & thus He was the finale but Jesus has bigger plans
Act 2:1-4
-Hebrew-speaking Jews receiving the Holy Spirit
Act 2:5-8
Jesus planned it that the Hebrew-speaking Jews received the Holy Spirit in the day of Pentecost where they have a chance to meet other Jews.
The Holy Spirit will enlarge our circle of love unlike the thinking of the Jews
Act 2:38-41;46
With that, the first group of new-born believers were added into the kingdom of God
During the week of the Pentecost celebration, the believers grew
Act 4:4;18-21
But the moment the believers start to grow, the persecution started
The devil wants to contain them
Act 4:29-31
But the Holy Spirit can do great things through the believers
Acts 5:2-6
We need to be changed to God- Holy Spirit will tell you what is endorsed in God
Through Ananias- the believers learned that they need to be changed by God & also learn of the Holy Spirit powers
Acts 6:1-5
Conflicts-solvers! Disciples fill with the Holy Spirit were chosen over other criteria
Act 7:51-60
Stephen forgave murderers!
1 Cor 3:1-3
Do not use the word of God to knock others
A spiritual person is someone who forgives & loves, someone who brings peace & resolve conflicts
A house divided among itself will not stand
Act 8:1
The apostles stayed on despite all the opposition because they are united & rooted
Acts 8:4-8
Samaria is a safe place but uncleaned place but it's where the most miracles happened
There's no place that the Holy Spirit won't go
Acts 8:10
Even the most terrible person can receive God's love
Acts 8:14-17
The apostles send their leaders to accept the believers in the Samaria
Acts 9:1-5;9-17
Ananias was brave- he was initially afraid but he was brave
- Saul (the persecutor) was accepted into the family of God
Act 10:1-2;44-45
Peter was able to bring the words to the Gentiles
Act 11:26
After going through so much - they then are able to call themselves Christians
Christians are followers of the anointed one with characteristics of the Holy Spirit - united, accepting of all & peace-loving
