Living a radical life?
As a leader, people may have seen me DO MUCH for God and His people. People often view me as a busy person. There are always meetings to attend, shepherding which need to be conducted each week, Bible discussion leading that needs to be prepared and all those sort of things. But after today’s sermon by May Cheung, God really ministered to me to be more radical for Him in how I spend my everyday’s life.
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”
May invited Brother Puji from morning service to share to us how he and his team have been going to Griffith Uni and Queen Street Mall for street evangelism. But more than that, they believe God for signs and wonders to follow them as they share the Gospel and it did! Puji shared to us that he was unsatisfied at where he is at and he wants to do more for God’s Kingdom that’s why he and his team decided to go out to do what he is doing.
I was very encouraged by Puji’s sharing and I could identify with the holy discontent that Puji has. As I reflected back to my life, I feel that I have not been seriously sharing my faith to the lost around me. I feel that I have not been living radically enough as the one that has been commissioned by God to go and save the lost. I have not seriously been using much of the power of the Holy Spirit that has already been given to me. There is an urgency in my heart now to step out from my confort zone to be more radical for Him.
May challenged us to write down a couple of things that we will do differently to reach out to the lost for God, Below are just small actions that I will take, I wrote:
1. I want to be salt and light in my workplace by setting a godly example in my speech and action so that I may be able to bring Chirst into their life.
2. I will set aside 1 day of a week to pray for nations in the world.
3. …. ”what else can I do God???”
God use me! I want to be more radical for You! I don’t know how but I am willing.
