Unleashed with Action | Part 2

Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:21, Exodus 3:8, Exodus 16:35, Joshua 5:12, Exodus 14:10-12

Key Notes: In this sermon, Pastor explores Exodus and Joshua which illustrates the importance of taking action with the talents and skills we possess.

• God has equipped us with abilities, and it's up to us to use them effectively.

• We delve into practical applications of theoretical knowledge, emphasizing that action should always be the outcome of our learning.

• Reflecting on the Israelites' journey, we see a generation marked by faithlessness and entitlement.

• God withdrew mana to encourage the Israelites to stop perceiving Him as a magician and to engage in sowing seeds.

• What we are capable of doing should not rely solely on miraculous intervention. Understanding the role of labor is crucial in our journey of faith.

Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:21. Exodus 12:51, Exodus 13:17-19



This episode explores the powerful connection between faith and action. Drawing from biblical passages and real-life examples, we emphasize the importance of intentional, purpose-driven action in fulfilling God's plans.



Key Points:

1. Do what God has empowered you to do, avoiding blind copying and recognizing that God doesn't call against one's will.

2. Carrying virtue into a space creates impact, and the lack of it has the opposite effect.

3. God commissions us for His work because some things in the kingdom require human action.

4. Your actions activate a reaction from heaven; a dormant church produces no heavenly response.

5. The first human action is a seed that must bear fruit and endure.

6. Faith should rest on the character of God, not just miracles.

7. Battles extend beyond the physical, requiring intentional human action.

8. Faith in chaos means carrying God's virtue in a Godless world and believing in Him.

9. Vulnerability is when God strengthens us the most; weakness becomes strength.

10. Divine and physical work go hand in hand; pray and then act towards the prayed-for outcome.

11. Human action is not an affront to divinity; act in alignment with God's approval.

12. God has opened doors, but people must walk through them; laziness won't receive divine opportunities

Pastor, on this episode explored the role of believers as mediators between Christ and unbelievers. We discovered the transformative power of being a bridge for others, just as Jesus bridged the gap between God and humanity.



Scripture Reference: 1 Timothy 2:6 and Hebrews 9:15.



Key Pointers:

1. If the righteousness of a man could save a man, job would have qualified because God declared him a righteous man on earth.

2. ⁠Just as Jesus was a middle man for us ( Christians), we are the middle men between Jesus and the unbelievers.

Message Title: Anointed & Unleashed | In the Valley of Elah 2

Key Pointers:



1. The power of faith lies in one's mindset and understanding of their identity.

2. Believers should focus on developing their skills and purpose, rather than copying or competing with others.

3. Discipline is crucial in sustaining one's faith journey, as it provides consistency and spiritual growth.
