Sermon by Pst Aries during Overnite PM

Went for Prayer meeting today and Pst Aries message really hit many of us present over there.
Today sermon is abt Grace and Trust which is this week's cg sermon.

*Below are the message that i received under my perception:

He was mentioning that even though we, Christian always say that we walk in grace, but never did we know that by just walking in grace is not enough.

It is great to know God is graceful to us but its another thing to know God deeper.
Therefore we are to move from Grace to the truth of God/God's Word.

He carries on by saying abt the 5 loaves & 2 fish story in the bible.

On that day, 5000 men were being fed with only 5 loaves & 2 fish which all of us know that it is nothing more than a miracle.
So after the miracle, Jesus went to another city and the 5000 men who experience the miracle followed. At the second part of John6 onwards, it mention that Jesus speaks to the multitudes and talking abt the partaker of His flesh and blood.(I'm getting very brief over here as that's not the main highlight)
So many who heard that and left Jesus as they(multitudes "Christians") couldn't accept what Jesus had just spoken.

Ask yourself why those 5000 men followed Jesus?
They followed bcos of the miracles that Jesus performed and they are expecting it again.
But to Jesus, His intention is not for them to follow after the miracles but to let them look behind the miracles and know who is the miracle performer.

So just like Pst Kong always mention during service.
"Dun just look at the blessings but rather look at the bless er"

So the Grace and truth thingy is really talking abt knowing the Grace(Miracles) is good and beneficial to us, but we got to look beyond the Miracles(Grace) and see Jesus(Truth of God) is working on it.

Truth of God is also = to truth of God's Word. (The Word is God and the Word was God)
We are to have the WOG in our life by hearing and meditating on it.

So the story mention that those who experience the miracles soon did not follow Jesus at the end. That means when we walk under God's Grace, we might experience backsliding as grace can't keep us spiritual in God. Grace is something that reflect on how God is graceful and merciful to us and that's all.
So to keep us from backsliding it all comes back to the WOG = truth of God(God's Promises).

So when we speak the WOG it will bring life back to us. Amen.

In the last part, Pst also shared abt his revelation he had today.
As he was listening to audio sermon, a preacher was talking abt the Hand of God brought Ezekiel to the valley of dry bones. Ezekiel did not know what to do with those dry bones in front of him and then God told him to speak forth life(the WOG) onto the dry bones and the bones start to join back and flesh starts to grow.

So this story could be link to some of our current condition on Christians or CG.
Pst was mentioning that the (valley = CG's not growing), (bones represent the dead = spiritual "dry" members) and (the word "dry" could represent no presence of God during CG).

So if a CG that is not growing, members starts to backsliding and worse, when there's no presence of God during CG, could you imagine how the CG leader and members will feel...

So coming back to Pst revelation, he was mentioning that the preacher says that even when we are in the valley with dry bones, God grace is still there for us and the revelation part is the "dry bones" are not yet buried.
Funny right.. Bones by right should be buried and not just left onto the ground.
So the point is that no matter how worse our situation is, as long as we are not dead and buried, the grace of God will be there for us.

And all we need to do is to speak the WOG(life) into our lives and we'll be revived once again.

Guys, even in the mist of trials and problems in life, we still have the grace of God over us and all we need to do in our part, is to live on the WORD OF GOD and turn back to Jesus.

I've just received mine a few hours ago.
Thank you Jesus.
