I have been going from one preaching engagement to another and its so easy to tell everybody else whats wrong with them and overlook your own life. Though it has been a constant habit of mine to regularly search my own hearts before preaching (lest I be judge more severely) yet I know that I can easily slipped, and as John Stott said, (' the indulgence of the mature life") we can easily indulge in sin without even blinking. This does not necessarily mean that we have committed an unforgivable sin but it simply means that we feed the desires of the flesh than the desire of the Spirit.
Last weekend was a really good opportunity to allow the Lord to awaken my own heart afresh as I minister His word to brothers and sisters who may not know a lot but who were opened for His Spirit to speak. I was convicted that I must not be a stumbling block to their faith by my own hidden indulgences. The Lord knows if no one else does.
Through it all I a became more convince that I need to be faithful to the Lord and to His word, both in living it and teaching it. Much prayers is needed if we are ever going to be His free channels (without any hindrances) of blessings to others. Pray with me that the Lord will grant the discipline needed to stay on top and to stay fresh so that His word will not be stale bread pass on by mouldy Christians. Your faithful partnership cannot be underestimated. It plays a vital role in our lives and ministry. Thanks again for standing with us. Keep pressing on for His sake and for His glory.
