KNOWING & BECOMING:

What do we need to do, what is our calling in this life:

• Colossians 3:10: "and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator"
• This is our calling, to be like Him, to be like Jesus. We are believers

• Philippians 3:10-11 ESV - "That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead"
• In God we found our real purpose
• We need to "die" before we can "resurrect"

To become like the father, we need to ensure we prepare ourselves: "It is no longer I but Christ in me" (to make an "I" to a "C", we need to bend the "I", we need to bend ourselves).

It is the human nature that we all like to be served. Be it at work, in restaurant, at home and even at church. It is the human nature, who doesn't like to be served?

This is why a lot of time in our spiritual life, we need to be frequently updated. Just like a software update. This process allowing us to be refreshed and uplifted, to become a servant leader, to be the change in this world, to be like Christ, to change the "I" to "C".

FRUITFUL INTIMACY:

Psalm 1:2 ESV - "But his delight is in the law of the Lord , and on his law he meditates day and night"

• To know Him, to become like Him, to be blessed by Him, one of the key step in our life is to be near to Him by reading His words, to reflect in His words day and night.
• It sounded hard? Imagine this is as your courtship period. When you are with your love ones, we tend to wanting to be near to our partner. Day and night we look forward to meet, hear and near to him or her.
• It is the same! That is how we can delight Him!
• That's the true communion. The fruitful communion.
• To have a fruitful communion: Read The Words, Pray and Do it regularly

Another day full of blessing.
