Aflame Com Church Inc Sunday Sermon - 17 April 2005 Theme Minister : : GOD’s PURPOSE is UNCHANGING Jimmy Goh As HE is the SAME UNCHANGING GOD. GOD’s DESIRE, WILL, PURPOSE & PROMISE is UNCHANGING from the BEGINNING. Genesis 3: 15 “And I will put enmity between you and the woman. And between your seed and her SEED; HE shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise HIS heel.” > The Fall of Lucifer to the GROUND, DESTINY to the PITS of HELL. READ Isaiah 14: 12, 15 > Isaiah 14: 24, . 27 (Amplified) The LORD of hosts has SWORN, saying, “Surely, as I have thought and planned, so shall it come to pass, and as I have PURPOSED, so shall it STAND – For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it ? And HIS HAND is stretched out, and who can turn it back ? > READ Revelation 12: 7 - 10 Who are CAST DOWN to the earth ? Who is the ACCUSER, who ACCUSE us before GOD, every day & night ? > NOW, WHAT has NOW COME with the COMING of JESUS CHRIST ? ~ SALVATION ~ STRENGTH ~ KINGDOM of GOD ~ POWER of the CHRIST > Revelation 12: 11 And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the LAMB, and by the WORD of THEIR TESTIMONY, and they did not love their lives to the death. The BATTLE CONTINUES on earth, with the devil & his dark angels. > BUT, we OVERCOME them, by the POWER of CHRIST : ~ the BLOOD of the CHRIST ~ the PROCLAMATION of HIS WORD ~ the LIVING of our LIVES in CHRIST, ‘LIVING SACRIFICE’ for GOD. > Revelation 17: 14 These will make war with the LAMB, and the LAMB will overcome them, for HE is LORD of lords and KING of kings; and THOSE who are with HIM are CALLED, CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL.” > JESUS CHRIST DECLARED GOD’s SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY has been given to HIS CHURCH, to OVERCOME the ENEMY’s DESTRUCTION. > Matthew 16: 18 – 19 “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this ROCK, I will BUILD MY CHURCH , and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the KEYS f the KINGDOM of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” > The CHURCH is COMMISIONED by GOD’s AUTHORITY for HIS PURPOSE. Matthew 28: 18 - 20 And JESUS came and spoke to them, saying, “All AUTHORITY has been given to ME in heaven and on earth. GO therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. > READ Mark 16: 15 – 16 What is the TASK of the CHURCH with GOD’s AUTHORITY ? ~ GO into the world, to SPREAD the GOOD NEWS – GOSPEL (To ALL CREATURES, they are NOT in the Church). > ~ To WIN SOULS, to BAPTISE them into JESUS CHRIST, into HIS BODY. ~ To TEACH them on GOD’s WORD , to DISCIPLE them into HIS KINGDOM. > Mark 16: 17 - 18 “And these signs will follow those who believe : In MY NAME they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” > ~ EMPOWERED by GOD’s AUTHORITY for SPIRITUAL WORK vs the enemy. ~ SPIRITUAL PROTECTION & COVERING by GOD’s AUTHORITY, DOING HIS TASK. > Acts 1: 8 “But you shall receive POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you; And you shall be WITNESSES to ME in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, And to the end of the earth.” > In Luke 10: 1 ~ JESUS sent out 70 disciples under GOD’s AUTHORITY to exercise authority as in Luke 9: 1b -“gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure all diseases.” > ~ The 70 disciples accomplished the TASK by FAITH of the given AUTHORITY. - Luke 10: 17 > ~ JESUS knew the ‘WORKS of the devil has been DESTROYED as the disciples learnt - ‘ WOW !!! IT does WORK ! ’ Luke 10: 19 “Behold, I give you AUTHORITY to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” > ~ JESUS reminded them not to get carried away rejoicing over this, but being OVERCOMERS. - “rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” > Luke 10: 21 In that hour JESUS rejoiced in the SPIRIT and said, “I thank YOU, FATHER, LORD of heaven and earth, that YOU have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, FATHER, for so it seemed good in YOUR sight.” > In FIRST CHURCH, even DEACONS Stephen (Acts 6: 8) and Philip (Acts 8: 39 - 40), appointed to serve & clean tables (MC/ WC) – exercise spiritual authority to ‘WIN SOULS’. > Proverbs 11: 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who WIN SOULS is wise. > CHURCH is HEALTHY & FULL of VITALITY, when ALL are WINNING SOULS As TRUE WORSHIPPERs focus on WORSHIP, WORD, COMMUNION, PRAYER, OFFERING, PLUS the GREAT COMMISSION. READ Acts 2: 42 - 45 > IN-CHURCH : ~ DOCTRINE, GOD’s WORD in PRINCIPLE & PRACTICE. ~ FELLOWSHIP in the BODY, BAPTISM into HIM & HIS BODY. ~ COMMUNION, BREAKING of BREAD, and PRAYER. ~ HEALTHY GODLY FEAR, to SHARE our BLESSINGS & OFFERING. > Acts 2: 46 - 47 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising GOD and having favour with all the people. And the LORD added to the church daily those who are being saved. Acts 5: 14 And believers were increasingly added to the LORD, multitudes of both mean and women. > Acts 5: 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching JESUS as the CHRIST. Acts 6: 7a Then the WORD of GOD spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem. > Paul, once Saul, after being converted and convicted by the SPIRIT – served the LORD with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened by the plotting of the Jews; kept back nothing, proclaimed the Gospel, and taught publicly, and from house to house. (Acts 20: 19 - 20). > JESUS is the LORD of the HARVEST, let us ENTER & LABOR in HIS HARVEST - Luke 10: 2 - John 4: 35 - 2 Peter 3: 9 > COMMUNION READ 2 Timothy 2: 19 - 22
