Today Rev. Lee Tak Vui preached on Victory After Victory.
Victory is a process. God does not give us victory after victory.
Exodus 23:27-30 God told the Israelites He will give them little by little.
God does not give us everything because we will not be able to bear with it.
1. Inquire of the Lord beginning with setting aside the past success and sorrow.
Joshua 9:14
If we rely on our pass success, we will become arrogant. We may not be able to secure our victory.
If we remember our past sorrow, we will dwell on it and not move on.
Phil. 3:13-14 Forgetting our past – success, glory, failure, sorrow
2. Listen to the Lord through the Scriptures, Still Small Voice, Servants of the Lord.
Obedience always precede our hearing (or was it action?).
Joshua 5:13-15; 6:2; 10:8; 11:6
God can speak to us through our inner voice ie. through the Holy Spirit.
Ecc. 4:12
3. Step out in faith with a paradigm shift and renewed strategy.
Step out in faith involves action.
Paradigm shift – a change of mindset.
Joshua 1:11
Changing strategy according to the Word of God.
Joshua 6:3-5; 8:1; 10:8-11; 11:6-9
Old strategy will not work in new battlefield.
I may have heard wrongly some parts of the sermon. I was preoccupied with something else.
Basically I was about to give up on something and was wondering would I ever have victory on that particular area of my life. Due to this dilemma, i had been feeling down for a couple of weeks. Only God knew how I had been feeling and suddenly a sermon like this really spoke to me.
I can only depend on God for the victory.
