A people of Worth

24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
~Matthew 7:21-29

What kind of people are we? Are we a one dimensional people, who can only act without knowing, or knowing without acting? Does this sum us up as people, is this what God's people are like? ....
How do we respond to God? Do we wait on him and try to be intune with the Lord, or do we do our own thing, going by trial and error?
How do we live for God? IS he really the centre of our being...and if not, how come? What power therefore is there in being a Christian? ....
Who is God? How is he relevant?
Who is robbing you of your power? Is fear removing you from the glory of God?

As the eve of elections is near, many of you are nominated for positions. I come asking the question: Does your life reflect the power given to you being a child of God, or do you squander it, because of fear or worldly things.
I am asking each of you at this moment: are you able to serve? If not, will you prepare for what's ahead? ...I'm not trying to discourage any of you to lead next year, infact, i think it's a great thing. Rather, how many of you have hearts ready for what God is waiting to do? That i'm unsure about, and that is what i'm asking you to test tonight.
