Cultivate Order

Written By Sandy Quang

Things that can hinder our upgrade…

  • past

  • failures

  • comfort zones

  • old wineskins

  • relationships

  • uncompleted assignments
               

There isn’t any one of us that isn’t tempted in some way to SETTLE where we are currently at in God.

“What is behind us is nowhere near as important as what is ahead of us.”

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 [NLT/TPT], “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” 10 But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit.  Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things.

4.  Altar Ministry

5.  Outreach. 

Titus 1:5, “For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—”

•   If we are going to be successful in cultivating Order in these areas, then it will require your involvement.


What happens when we choose God’s Order…

  • -God shows up w/provision  [Gen. 22]

  • -People were set free  [Ex. 13]

  • -He devours the enemy  [Jdg. 7]

  • -People received the victory

  • -God’s fire fell  [1 Kings]

  • -God’s presence filled the temple  [1 Chron.]

  • -God’s glory came down  [Ex.]

“Glory always follow order!"

“God is a God of order, therefore when His people follow His order great things happen.”

1 Chronicles 15:12-13, He said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it. 13 For because you did not do it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order.”
