Pastor Prince is away on holiday with his family.
So Pastor Liam was standing in for the service.
The devil will attack us in a 3S formula.
Self-Reliance, Self-Conscious, Self-Pity.
Firstly, we'll be overloaded with work causing us to lose sight of God and start turning to ourself to get things done: self-reliance.
Then when we are over-worked, we tend to make mistakes and become more aware and fearful of ppl spotting our mistakes: self-conscious.
When we finally give up trying, we start to feel sorry and miserable for ourself: self-pity
When we are looking inwards to ourselves, we forget to look to God and recieve his gift and blessings.
Stress is nothing more than Fear under another disguise in this new era. just a constant sense of fear and worry about anything. it removes the sense that we are under grace.
The devil is unable to remove God's grace, but he is able to make us feel as though, we are not under God's grace and when that happens, we turn from God's grace on our own record.
That does means that we are not under God's grace, but we try even harder to make things work, not letting God help us.
I will not give in to Stress, I will not give in to Fear.
I am blessed, I am in God's grace, I am the righteousness of God.
Amen!
