Worship Service on 31 July 2011

Doing hostel duty which required me to stay in the hostel. Hence, I have my own time of worship with the Lord. Very blessed time.

Singing:
All the way my Saviour Leads me
Constantly Abiding

Sermon By John MacArthur
Taking the Mystery out of the Will of God

Closing song:
Abba Father let me be
Yours and Yours alone
May my will forever be
Ever more Your own

What's the conclusion of the whole sermon?
God's will for us is

1. to be saved


2. to be Spirit-filled (controlled by the Spirit)


3. be sanctified


4. be submissive


5. to suffer


6. to say thanks to Him

Then, which university should I go? which woman should I marry? which job should I apply for? What is the will of God for me?

God loves to reveal His will to those who love Him, this means that His will is
not hidden - so where to find His will?

Know His will in His word. But true lovers of God will not just want to know His will, we'll plead with Him to help us DO His will.

'Teach me to do your will, for you are my God' Psalm 143:10a

Are you doing God's will? Just to paraphrase the above 6 points briefly:

1. Do you embrace the Son and obey Him?


2. Are your thoughts, actions and words controlled by the Spirit?


3. Are you separated from sin and your body is managed to please God?


4. Are you submitting to authorities and one another?


5. Are you living so righteously that the world reacts?


6. Do you always rejoice?

If you're doing all the above 6 points, then do whatever you want. Because God's ways are thus:

'Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart' Ps 37: 4
