Romans 14:11-12, 17-18<\/cite> For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God \u2026 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One day, Jesus will come back to earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every person, in every country, speaking in every language will bow down before Him as Lord and King.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we wait for that day, we can bless many people and bring them to God, so that it will be one huge gathering on that joyful day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It sounds like a big job to bring all these people together and it is! How do we start?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible verse today tells us: \u201cFor the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,\u00a0but of righteousness, peace\u00a0and joy in the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In Singapore, we often think about what we are going to eat or drink. It is not wrong to think about those things but they should not be the most important thing to us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important should be on the Holy Spirit, which gives us:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Righteousness, to help us do what is right in God\u2019s eyes<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Peace and joy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Power to live the way God has planned\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    With the Holy Spirit, here is how you can make blessing people a part of your life:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Think about how you spend your time. What do you spend most of your time doing or thinking about?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Ask God to fill you more and more with the Holy Spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Encourage one another. Let\u2019s look at the needs of those in church, in our schools, neighbourhoods and even around the world. Let\u2019s think about how to encourage and help them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Blessing people in all countries starts with looking to God. Let\u2019s look at His Word, hear His promises and love Him with all our heart.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
