God the main contractor, sub contractor and everything else
Today's service was awesome. And something my CGL said struck me too. Many times, people judge the quality of the sermon according to who the speaker is. However, if they do this, they veer away from believing that it's God's message and not the speaker's. I'm guilty of that as well...but today's service totally changed my entire mindset.

In Prince's absence, Pastor Joshua preached a fantastic message. One thing that particularly struck me was what he said about God being the main contractor, sub contractor, as well as the electrician, plumber and everything else. People (including me) are always quick to correct others about their wrong-doings, behaviour, saying "why cant they do this..do that", often forgetting that we ourselves are also "under construction". Pastor also mentioned how we always say we want to be better in this and that, without stopping to think that we are "trying" with our own efforts....and many a time by trying hard, things take a turn for the worse. Upon hearing all these, i felt free. Felt that there's no need to pretend or even "think" i'm good. In fact, nothing good dwells in me. It is through Christ that I can do good. Through Christ that i can be righteous. Through Christ that i am everything im not.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong"

The more cracks that can be seen, the more opportunities for His strength to flow through.

So beautiful....
