Brokenness before growth

Finally managed to find some time to blog abt this before I fly off again... Last fri zone meeting, Jeremy shared something so simple what yet so true... Some takeaways from the meeting...

1) How to keep the fire always burning?
A) Word -- Revelation
B) Prayer
C) Holy Spirit
D) Mixing ard with more spiritual ppl (ppl of faith)

2) Where will the church be in 10 years time?
100,000 members worshipping in a stadium...

How can we reach there? We need to grow...

Growth STOPS when all of us become inward looking and self-centered. We cannot allow that to happen. We got to care abt others! How can we overcome inward looking and self-centeredness???

BROKENNESS

A heart that is broken by the grace of God... Having the fear of God.

Cos... ...

Without brokenness, you cannot
1) release the presence of God within you
2) touched by the presence of God
3) be used mightily by God

Make a decision today... That you'll be a steward of your talents and skills given to you by Abba Father... Let the love and generosity flow out of you... Only when the vessel is broken that the fragrance can fill the room... Come before God broken... That without Him, you are nothing and can do nothing... Yes, without Him, I'll lose the purpose of living...
