Sermon by Ps Chia
Who am I?Ever asked yourself this question? What on earth are you here for?
In Rick Warren's book 'The purpose driven life", he stated that:
- we are all not here by accident. We were in God's care before we were born and life is made to last forever.
- we were made to glorify God
- we were created to be more and more like Christ
- we were shaped for serving God.
Anyone can serve God as long as he/she is willing to avail himself/herself to God. God is looking for availability not ability.
In order to fulfill God's purpose, Moses remove obstructions that prevented him from following God. He gave up his position as the prince of Eqypt, he gave up position, pleasure and popularity.
It does not mean that having a position in society is not good. It is good to have success, but not for our own satisfaction and not when it compromises our status as the child of God. Our success should contribute to building the kingdom of God. =)
When is the right time to serve God?
- When we finish our studies?
- After we have a stable job?
- After we start a family?
- After our children has grown up?
- or do we wait till we become too old and have no strength to serve God?
