Heavenly Student



Why do you go to school? Why do you sit there for hours every week listening to your teacher? Why do you take out your pen and paper and take notes everyday?

Obviously, to learn…right?

If you have a doubt you ask the teacher – s/he clarifies and you go ahead. With each lesson, as you apply yourself, you progress, you grow and move forward. And because you work hard you excel...right?

Well, the same is with God!


"God is teaching you everyday but if you don’t take
in the instructions and don’t do anything about it,
how can you be a testimony?"


When you come to the meetings, it’s like going to school. You hear, you are taught various thing such as how to use your faith, how to have a good character, how to be an example etc. When you are not sure about something, you seek advice and through the pastors and assistants, God is able to help you.

As you put what you learn into practice, you see changes in your life and consequently you not only grow in your faith but also become a testimony.

But if like that rebellious student, you hear and come to the meetings but don’t do anything about it - how can you expect to see change and progress in your life?

God is teaching you everyday but if you don’t take in the instructions and don’t do anything about it, how can you be a testimony? How will your life ever change?

Think!

That is exactly what we talked about in today's service.
We need to be the good soil from the Parable of the sower. If all we hear in church just stays in paper, our life can never change.

Just like in school, even if a a person gets good grades, if she doesn't apply what she learned in her profession, she won't be a good professional.

Hi Pastor Luke,

God is always there willing to teach us new things everyday that will lead us to Him and towards strengthening our faith, it is completely up to us whether or not we make the most out of this opportunity and we listen to His teachings and apply them to our life. Thank you for the message.

Sincerely,

Kenia Rivas

This is so true!
This is a really strong message.
If we don't apply God's word in our life then nothing will ever change and we will never grow just like in school, if we don't do our work then we won't get any where!
