Chris.

Burdens only hinder us in our Life as True Believers and in our walk with God. He wants us to be free from burdens. Burdens can hinder us in the race that God has for us to run. Jesus actually invites us to give all our burdens to Him. We are told in the Scripture to cast all of our burdens to the Lord, in other words, we need to strip off our burdens by Faith and surrender them to Him.

Preaching the Word of God is a most important function in the Church, the family of God. The desire of the Lord is that those preaching the Word of God preach with unction. This unction can only come from the Holy Spirit. The Preacher is not an entertainer; the Preacher is a Messenger from God and needs to be well prepared in order to deliver the Preaching effectively.

Do nothing in rivalry or competitively, for this will make us proud. Do nothing conceitedly; this will make us proud. Count other people better than yourself; this will help to keep us humble.

'Faithless And Perverse.'

Matthew 17:17.

a) Faithless who?:-

i) Disciples, because of their unbelief at that time.

ii) Father, who only trusted in the familiar (Jewish cultural) environment, than trusting Jesus and bringing His Son to Him. If we stay locked inside cultural things, even though we are Christian by religion, we will remain faithless and become more bound. This is the time for faith and Biblical Internationalization.

iii) Multitude, slow to believe in Jesus.

b) Perverse Who?:-

(Not Disciples - they already were disciples of Jesus, endeavouring to follow the lifestyle of the Sermon on the Mount)

i) The people who are influenced by perverse opinions, hindering them from receiving the Truth.

ii) The people who are corrupted by the world system.

iii) The Jewish leaders and teachers of that time.

(This Meditation challenges me to be far away from being Faithless and Perverse, by God's Grace)

--------------------------------------------

Chris.

Faith is essentially a part of the life of a True Believer. It is Faith that connects us with God. Faith has to be alive; it is always expressed by something. Faith and love, faith and obedience, faith and patience, faith and works; always, faith needs to be expressed through something. We live by faith, walk by faith, pray with faith, and want to share our faith with other people. The Scripture simply tells us those clear Words of Jesus Christ, who tells us to have Faith in God.
