General Service in Malang, August 29, 2010 (Sunday Morning)
Matthew
25:16-30 is about ATTITUDE
TO THE TALENT.
The
positive attitude was shown by the servant receiving five talents and
two talents.
On the contrary, the negative one was shown by the
servant receiving one talent.
Matthew
25:19
25:19
"After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled
accounts
with them.
Our
attitude to the ministry must be accounted for before God when Jesus
comes a second time, whether it is a positive one or negative one.
The positive one will get reward from God but the negative one will
be judged with everlasting judgment.
Matthew
25:20-23
25:20
"So he who had received five talents came and brought five other
talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I
have gained five more talents besides them.'
25:21 "His
lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were
faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.
Enter into the joy of your lord.'
25:22 "He also who had
received two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two
talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.'
25:23
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant;
you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over
many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
We
learnt about the positive attitude last week, namely BEING
FAITHFUL and GOOD
(Please check in General Service, August 22, 2010).
The other
positive attitude is BEING
FAITHFUL and WISE.
Luke
12:41-43
12:41.
Then Peter said to Him, "Lord, do You speak this parable only to
us, or to all people?"
12:42 And the Lord said, "Who
then is that faithful
and wise steward,
whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them
their portion of food in due season?
12:43 "Blessed is that
servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
Being
faithful and wise must begin with a pastor that is faithful and wise
in feeding the sheep.
A faithful and wise pastor will feed
the sheep on time and the preaching of God's Word becomes spiritual
food growing the spirituality of the congregation to the
perfection.
The
spirituality of congregation will be grown up although the spiritual
food is hard, as long as It comes from God.
If a pastor, the
ruler over the shepherding, is not faithful and unwise, all servants
in the shepherding must be unfaithful and unwise.
Being
faithful and wise cannot be separated. One may not be faithful
without being wise or be wise without being faithful.
Being
faithful, we minister seriously, nothing may hinder.
Being
wise means as follows:
-
Knowing
the limit.
We
must know the limit in our saying that it may become blessing for
other people.
Besides, we have to know the limit in our
friendship, especially for youth. The limit is real in righteousness
and purity.
We
have to be righteous and pure in trading, in fellowship, in all
matters in life, including not eating food which is prohibited by
our doctor.
- Being
patient.
Proverbs
14:17
14:17.
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And
a man of wicked intentions is hated.
We
are patient in suffering through not murmuring or
grumbling.
Besides, we are patient in waiting the time of God. Do
not seek your own way outside the Word of God! There is a dead-lock
and perdition outside the Word.
- Being
obedient.
Matthew
7:24
7:24
"Therefore whoever hears
these sayings of Mine, and does them,
I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
1
Peter 1:22
1:22
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the
Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently
with a pure heart,
Being
obedient, we will be sanctified from hatred, bitterness, envy, et
cetera until we can love one another fervently with a pure heart.
One who is faithful and wise will be employed in the ministry of
building Christ's body, beginning with a marriage. Obedient
marriage will become beautiful. On the contrary, a marriage without
holiness and love will be vain. After being employed in the
marriage, one will be employed in shepherding, inter-shepherding, up
to the perfect body of Christ.
We
may be rich or intelligent but God seeks His faithful and wise
servant.
Luke
12:43
12:43
"Blessed
is
that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
As
a result of being faithful and wise, one has
heavenly joy
nothing in the world may influence.
2
Timothy 1:6
1:6.
Therefore I remind you to
stir up
the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my
hands.
Romans
12:11
12:11
not
lagging in diligence,
fervent
in spirit,
serving the Lord;
The
other positive attitude is being
faithful and fervent in spirit.
The
servant of God who is faithful and good, wise and fervent in spirit
is as the flame of fire. Such servant of God has Holy Spirit or the
spirit of glory.
Hebrews
1:7
1:7
And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits And His
ministers a flame of fire."
Revelation
1:14
1:14
His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His
eyes like a flame of fire;
God's
eye is as the flame of fire.
Thus, the
servant of God who is faithful and good, wise and fervent in spirit
is the apple of God's eye.
The
practices of being the servant of God who is as the apple of His eye
and has the spirit of glory are below:
- Being
endurable in facing the fire of sanctification in
shepherding.
Exodus
3:1-3,5
3:1.
Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the
priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert,
and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
3:2 And the Angel of the
LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So
he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush
was not consumed.
3:3 Then Moses said, "I will now turn
aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."
3:5
Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take
your sandals off your feet,
for the place where you stand is holy ground."
The
bush refers to fragile carnal men.
The fire points to the fire
from heaven, namely the fire of God's Word, Holy Spirit, and God's
love.
The bush was burning with fire, meaning the
sanctification done by God's Word, Holy Spirit, and love. It
happens through our patience in committing three main services in
shepherding as follows:
The
result of the sanctification is we can take our sandals off our feet
[Exodus 3:5], meaning the
sanctification for our outward and inward life until we become as a
newborn baby.
Baby
means as follows:
- One
who humbles and makes himself of no reputation, no right but duty
only.
It
is as Jesus who humbles Himself until He descended from heaven to
die on the cross.
Isaiah
49:3-4
49:3
"And He said to me, 'You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I
will be glorified.'
49:4 Then I said, 'I have labored in
vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; Yet surely
my just reward is with the LORD, And my work with my God.'"
Being
willing to become a baby, we do not insist our right and our
right and reward are in God's hand none may charge against.
We have them for our present life in the world until our eternal
life is in His hand. He
will never fool or give us any disadvantage.
- One
who is sanctified until he is neither sinful nor be able to sin. He
is righteous and holy as Jesus is.
- Being
endurable in facing the fiery trial.
Daniel
3:16-18,24-25
3:16
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O
Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
3:17
"If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver
us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your
hand, O king.
3:18 "But if not, let it be known to you, O
king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold
image which you have set up."
3:24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar
was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his
counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of
the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "True, O
king."
3:25 "Look!" he answered, "I see four
men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt,
and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."
The
fiery trial can be in these forms:
- Temptations
in all impossible matters,
- Sins
up to the peak, namely sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying
and giving in marriage,
- False
teaching, et cetera.
Only
the fire from heaven may face the fiery trial.
The
temptations come from Satan to make the faith of the sons of God
fall.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego kept on worshipping
God and loving Him, and believing and entrusting themselves in full
to Him.
Here
are the results:
- God's
hand preserves and protects us in the midst of impossible
matters.
The hand which formerly has helped Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-Nego will be able to preserve and protect us now.
- God's
hand is able to finish all our problems even the impossible one.
- His
hand gives us beautiful future life.
- Being
endurable in facing the fire of glory at the time of Jesus' second
coming.
Being
endurable in facing the fire of sanctification and the fiery trial,
one will appear as what is written in Revelation 12:1.
Revelation
12:1
12:1.
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve
stars.
This
is the perfect and blameless Church of God at the time of Jesus'
second coming.
Revelation
12:2-3
12:2
Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in
pain to give birth.
12:3
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red
dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his
heads.
Actually,
the condition of the Church is as a pregnant woman who is going to
give birth. She is so powerless and faces the dragon, referring to
antichrist.
We only need to
cry the name of Jesus
in such condition.
Revelation
12:14
12:14
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might
fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a
time and times and half a time, from the presence of the
serpent.
As
a result, God will give us a way out of problem through the two
wings of a great eagle He gives us which will fly us to the
wilderness far away from the presence of the eye of serpent. We are
preserved there.
Romans
8:22-23
8:22
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth
pangs together until now.
8:23 Not only that, but we also who
have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our
body.
Besides,
we have to cry in pain to face Jesus' second coming so we will not
be left. We have to do that to have the renewal of life from carnal
men to spiritual men, beginning with being
strong and of good courage
to wait the time of Jesus' second coming. We are renewed to become
as glorious as He is at the time of His second coming.
The
Lord will come with fire and only God's servant who is as the
flame of fire may be endurable.
2
Thessalonians 1:4-7
1:4
so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your
patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that
you endure,
1:5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous
judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of
God, for which you also suffer;
1:6 since it is a righteous
thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you,
1:7
and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus
is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,
God
blesses you.
