I. My Beloved Sisters and Dear Brothers, grace be unto you through Christ Jesus' name. Beloved, have you ever felt like your Christian walk has become stale and routine? Are you going through the motions of attending church, reading your Bible, and praying, but you are not feeling the excitement and passion that you once had? Or are you starting to feel like God is distant and uninvolved in your life? But today, I want to challenge you with a profound truth: Christianity is not a routine activity, and God is not a routine God. He's a God of surprises, a God of miracles, and a God of transformation. When we reduce Christianity to a routine activity, we are in danger of missing out on the vibrant, dynamic, and life-changing relationship that God wants to have with us.
II. Son of Man, when we become routine and make our Christian service and relationship with God a routine, we are in danger of becoming like the Pharisees, who were more concerned with outward appearances than with inward transformation. But our God is not a routine God. He is a God who initiates surprises. God is a God of surprises, who often does the unexpected. God wants us to have a passionate and intimate relationship with Him, not a routine relationship. Beloved, God requires us to have faith in Him, even when we can't see the outcome. God promises to transform us into the image of Christ if we surrender to Him. And we all, with unveiled faces, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
III. Daughter of Zion, we must avoid routine Christianity and experience the vibrant, dynamic, and life-changing relationship that God wants to have with us. To avoid being routine in our relationship with God, we must seek God's presence in our daily lives and ask Him to reveal Himself to us in new and unexpected ways. We must also learn to take calculated risks and step out of our comfort zone, trusting that God will be with us and guide us. Pursue intimacy with God, and ask Him to reveal His heart to us. We must also expect surprises from God and be open to new experiences and opportunities. Christianity is not a routine activity, and God is not a routine God. He is a God of surprises, a God of miracles, and a God of transformation. Let us avoid routine Christianity and experience the vibrant, dynamic, and life-changing relationship that God wants to have with us.
IV. Precious in the Lord, let us take a moment out of our busy human schedules to reflect on our Christian walk and identify areas where we might be experiencing routine Christianity. Let us ask God to forgive us for reducing Christianity to a routine activity. Let us make a conscious decision to seek God's presence, take risks, pursue intimacy, and expect surprises from God. Let us also be bold to share His message with someone who needs to hear it. This is the DIVINE Word for transformation sent forth through the authority and power of Christ Jesus and served to the brethren through God's Vessel Francis Ameyibor, Yes! Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
V. 2025 MY YEAR FOR MY STAR TO RISE FOR THE WORLD TO NOTICE—If— If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
PRAYER: Gracious Lord, we need your grace to forgive all those who have trespassed against us and grant us the spirit of humility to confess to those we might have offended.
