Taking the Risk - Neil Anderson

Stepping out in faith is a risk, but life is a risk

 

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental

To reach out for another is to risk involvement

To expose feelings to another is to risk exposing your true self

To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss

To love is to risk not being loved in return

To live is to risk dying

To hope is to risk despair

To try is to risk failure

 

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

 

Rev 21:7-8  He who overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will by My son.

But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

 

We would expect murderers, sorcerers, and idolaters to be on the list, but how many would guess that the list would be headed by cowardly and unbelieving? God does not look with favour on those who limp along in unbelief and never take the risk of living by faith because of fear of failure. It is the mark of a Spirit-filled Christian to be strong in the Lord and courageous.

 

The Greater One Is In You

Rom 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. [Amplified Bible]

Extract from adevotion.org 10/8 post:

1 JOHN 4:4 NASB
4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them;
because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the
world.

There are two vital points in this verse, which is addressed to
believers. (If you have not welcomed Jesus Christ and the Holy
Spirit into your life -- none of this applies to you.)

FIRST, God is IN you -- not far off somewhere.

Yes, God is in Heaven -- but that is not the only place He is.
By the Holy Spirit, God now has His dwelling place in you! You
don't have to "try to reach God." He is right there! What you
need to do is to cultivate an awareness of His presence. This,
along with communication, is the way to develop a closer
relationship with God.

Knowing that God lives in you, and that He loves you, should
banish all fear from your life. Fear of failure should have no
place. Fear of what other people think should not bother you.
Fear of problems that may come up should be of no concern. You
have God living in you!

2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 LB
16 And what union can there be between God's temple and idols?
For you are God's temple, the home of the living God, and God
has said of you, "I will live in them and walk among them, and
I will be their God and they shall be my people."

SECOND, God, Who is within you, is greater. Greater than any
problem. Greater than any difficulty. Greater than the devil.
Greater than anything you will ever face.

1 JOHN 4:4 ICB
4 My dear children, you belong to God. So you have defeated
them because God's Spirit, who is in you, is greater than the
devil, who is in the world.

This is the Word of God. We must embrace it and live in the
light of it. We must meditate on it and speak it. We must
resist any contrary thought the enemy might try to place in our
thinking.

SAY THIS: God, Who is in me, is greater than anything I will
ever face. The Greater One is in me.

We Are A Purpose-Built Generation

Follow on the previous blog on the topic of Salvation, Jesus constantly reminded his disciples (disciple = the discipline one) about the Kingdom. Jesus himself carried the cross to fulfill His mission to free you and me.

Why we need to be freed?

From the secular perspective, we are taught that our finance holds the key to happy life - money will pay off troubles and buy things we desire. In the process of fulfilling our "dream life", we fall into all kinds of miseries and corrupt lifestyle. Jesus came to save us from the fallen world, free us from the bondage of the darkness and put us back into the light.

How can I transform my wretched life to an abundant one?

We always want instant answer and result. Faith and patience are two key ingredients in every victory (Heb 6:12). Faith is the key foundation in our victorious lives and it births Patience in the process (Heb 11:1, 11:6, Rom 10:17, 2 Co 4:16-18).

Only through the renewal of our minds, we uncover the roots of our sins, rebellion and iniquity that hinder our success in life. As faith and hope increase within us, our friends and relatives will notice the change and wonder why.

I have Jesus in my heart, what is the purpose of my life on earth? How can I handle work and ministry work?

Mat 6:19-21 and 16:19 reveals God's views on our dilemma. The marketplace is the ministry, Jesus was the full-time marketplace minister.

Abba Father, we declare our birthrights as the sons and daughters of the Most High God. You have revealed your purpose in us and grant us the daily wisdom to exercise our faith pertaining your kingdom advancement. We are holding the keys of your Throne and our confession of Your words are binding our finance, health, job and family in the heaven by releasing our faith. We thank you for your grace and praise your name forever. In Jesus name. Amen.
