"For this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His spirit in the inner man." (Ephesians 3:14,16)
Welcome to the last month of 2008. This month, our focus is on growing in our personal devotion to our Lord. This year so far, we've been challenged to go, give, pray, do and see beyond our immediate surrounds. And now, we need to take time and reflect on where we are in our relationship with our Lord. Let us treat the month of December as a "pit-stop" _ a time to restock our tanks with spiritual fuel, re-evaluate our position in Christ, re-focus on the true meaning of Christianity and reset our main goal, which is Christlikeness.
The key to power, effectiveness, longevity, perseverance and endurance is the power of the Holy Spirit in the "inner man". We can only hope to fulfill our commitments faithfully if we have the inner strength to do it with. Let us adopt the"iceberg" mentality_ all you see in the surface is just the tip. May we all together learn and re-learn how to spend quality time with Jesus. Let us re-commit ourselves to having our "inner man" renewed day by day. This is accomplished by having quiet moments with the Master.
I encourage all of you to take time to listen quietly to the still, small voice of God's spirit. Endeavor to uncover spiritual nuggets or gems in the Word of God. And then look at other people through His eyes of love.
God bless you.
Pastor SD Ramos
