Sermon Notes
Revivedwhats next?
What a week! My spirit has been lifted by pastor Fred Nichols speaking
to us since last Sabbath. There has been a moving of the Holy Spirit in our
midst as people are renewing their commitments to be devoted disciples of
Christ, allowing Jesus to transform us as individuals from within.
I thought of a quote that a writer for Gods church penned Before the
final visitation of God's judgments upon the earth there will be among the
people of the Lord such a revival of primitive godliness as has not been
witnessed since apostolic times. (Great Controversy, 464) Simple
messages, yet profound in practical applications, made me think about the
true godliness, which is simple, primitive, basic, accessible for all!
And I prayerfully asked what does it mean to us? In my study this week I
encountered few more definitions of what the revival of primitive godliness
looks like - the law of God is restored to its rightful position. Our daily lives
are guided by the Law of God. Our public and private acts, every word and
deed, reveal godliness and virtues of the character of Christ. I long for such
a church fellowship, where loving care, gentle spirit, disinterested
benevolence, allow trust to grow.
This week had also been a week of political changes in our country. By
the social media reactions I learned that our church family has diverse
opinions and preferences. Yet, we must consider that God is in charge of the
Big Picture. Daniel 2:28,21-22 there is a God in heaven who solves
mysteriesHe changes the times and the seasons, He removes kings and
also raises them up, he provides both intelligence, wisdom and
discernment. He opens up and reveals deep and secret things; He knows
what is in the darkness, and the light spills out of him!
As we move into the future there should be no fear of uncertainty. This
weeks Sabbath School lesson prompted us to consider that there are only
two ways in life (Jeremiah 17:5,7) Trust God, or trust men, receive either
blessing or curse. God guides history. Hes got the plan that none of us
sees yet. We are invited not to worry about tomorrow, but to live today to the
fullest, doing Gods Will, loving one another in Christ.
Pastor Nichols reiterated a few times you are ALL God has got in
Londonstop waiting for something, expecting someone to come and do
things you ought to be doing.You are Gods Plan A and there is no plan
B. A witness of one delivered person is evangelistic enough to deal with
whatever demons there may be in any place. Our victory is assured by the
Blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of our Testimony (Revelation 12:11).
Some of you shared how disappointed you are after witnessing and inviting
people, and they did not come, or that some church folks who could have
come did not show up either. I simply say Trust God! God know who came
and why. God knows the plans hes got for us. God alone knows the
environment He wanted and the impact it will have on our church. Live, Love
and Trust God.
