Hi all,

I am Alvin from EastD2 and just want to share with you guys somethings I learnt along the week. I was listening to a Podcast by Wayne Cordeiro and the few points he mentioned in his sermon served as a health check to most of us as believers.

1. Performance is doing your devotions out of guilt, but Obedience is seeking God with your all.
2. Performance is quickly scanning the passage quickly so you can end your bible reading plans but Obedience is really dwelling in the words and allowing God’s richness to dwell in you.
3. Performance is being your best but Obedience is doing your best.
4. Performance is doing whatever people ask of it but Obedience is doing whatever God asks of you.
5. Performance springs from the fear of failure but Obedience springs from the fear of God.

Are you performing for others to see or are you obeying God?

I think as believers, it is important for us to check our hearts from time to time if we are really following Jesus wholeheartedly. Many of us as we continue to serve, especially when FREEDOM is coming, we tend to just serve out of serving or even lose our own spiritual walk with God in the midst of serving, lets always remember that It is because of his love that's why we are evangelising, It is because of his love that's why we are doing our shepherding, It is because of his love that's why we want to win the schools for Jesus!

With God's power, we can do the impossibles and 13 shall be done!

Alvin
