Words of God

by Handoko Rahardja

Psalm 119:105 - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Word of God is divided into 2
Lamp : your daily life
Light : God's promise in your life

If you focus too much on the light, you will fall -> dreamer
If you focus too much on the lamp, you will fall -> no vision

Lamp: Brighten up your day, Ensure you take the right step

To reach the future, you need your daily life

God will not give you something if you are not ready. Every red light is a place for reflection of where you are now. Are you in God's promise yet?

Don't be a dreamer. Get back to reality.

Integrity: Say what you mean, mean what you say

Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

When you are in the darkness you have to turn on the light.

Why people persecute the church?
Don't fight back when you are persecuted because revenge is God's

Word of God is sharper than two edged sword. People persecute church because they can't stand the light in the church. The light cut their spirit and exposing the power of darkness and they will be criticized.

1 John 5:4-5 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

If you've never been attack by the devil, maybe you are the devil
If you've never been criticized, maybe you are the one who criticized.

Never swear! Matthew 5:37 - Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Psalm 119:165 - Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

Doesn't matter what you know about the bible, what matters is how much you love the bible.
