Week 3 - STEP UP IN FAITH
Week 3 - STEP UP IN FAITH
INTRODUCTION
- These numbers are the people who profess that they want to follow Jesus and
telling that they love God and they want to obey God
- Kasama po dito yung mga nasa life group, nasa church, ano mang Christian reli-
gion.
- Ito po ay nakuha sa kabuuang bilang ng Christian sa bawat denomination
- Ito po ang statistics.
- Ayon po sa World Christian Community Organization… Approximately…
- And yet normally po pag tinanong mo po ang isang Christian if he or she be-
lieve in God, definitely po ang sagot niya ay YES.
* One philosopher who is unbeliever said this quote…
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike
your Christ.”
* Believe me po, what we project outside is just a result of what is happening in-
side of us
* Now for us to understand this topic, let me first give you things about WHAT IS
FAITH AND WHAT IS FAITH FOR…
THREE THINGS!
- Recognize means:
- to acknowledge formally
- give the floor to
- to perceive clearly
- I-acknowledge mo na may plano Siya….
- Maniwala ka na may ginagawa at gagawin Siya!
- Sa buhay mo, sa ministry mo, sa campus mo, sa community mo, sa Bahay niyo,
at sa bansang ito…
* FAITH ON!!!
- The reason why our country is suffering because of lack of Faith in God.. we
don’t recognize God and his plans!
- The reason why YOU are suffering is because you don’t recognize GOD and his
plans!
* FAITH MODE ON!!!
* Minsan naka Faith mode: OFF tayo kasi feeling natin mas matalino tayo kay
Lord.
- Feeling natin mas alam natin ang mga bagay bagay kaysa sa Kanya.
- We fail to recognize His plans, that is why we are doing it on our own.
* But in
Jeremiah 10:23
“For I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their
steps.
Romans 10:17
“Consequently, faith comes only from hearing the message, and the message is
heard through the word about Christ”
* There is no other way to have Faith! It is only thru hearing the Word!
- Hear God’s word for your life, for your ministry, for your family and for the na-
tion
- You want to turn ON your Faith?
- Read your bible!
- Do not missed Life group!
- Wag pagpapaliban ang Sunday worship service!
* Pagbalibaligtarin man natin, Kaya po naka Faith mode OFF po tayo kasi hindi
natin nabibigyang halaga ang salita ni LORD!
- Sabi po jan oh… Faith comes ONLY from hearing the word of God.
- baka kaya wala kang faith kasi hindi ka nagbabasa ng bible.
- Asa kapang lalaki ang pananamapataya mo e hindi ka nga consistent pag sun-
day?
- Faith ON faith on ka diyan e baka nga next week wala ka sa Life group?
* We cannot please God without Faith and we cannot have faith without knowing
the word of God!
- Kaya Basahin mo ang bible mo! Makinig ka sa Mentor mo! Maniwala ka sa
salita ng Diyos! Simple as that!
- Remember Peter in Matthew 14: 24-29? Noong sabi ni Lord na lumakad ka sa
tubig?
- Now bakit nagkaron ng faith si Peter? Pano niya na ON yung Faith niya?
Narinig niya si LORD!
CHALLENGE
Pray today:
LORD, forgive me for running my life, my own. I recognize that You have a plan. I
submit to that plan. You are now the master of my life! Increase my Faith thru
Anointing my ears so that I may be sensitive to hear your voice, to know more of
your plans. I want to Step up in Faith and make a difference. My Lord, I really
want to be part of what you are doing in my campus, in my family, in my commu-
nity. I want to receive this God-idea; so that I can be a campus, community, corpo-
rate transformer! Increase my Faith in You, in Your works and in Your plans.
So help me God!
in Jesus Name,
Amen!
