Character Stability

Living the values ​​of the human soul will be marked by: first, a serious effort to change ourselves. Second, a willingness to offer whatever we have to God. But honestly, we who have surrendered everything to God, still feel that God has not used us to the maximum. Why? The answer is: character stability. Today we are holy, have no moral violations. In the future, it is not certain that we will not have moral violations. So be grateful if God holds back the gifts of His Spirit, the explosions of service, as if God is inhibiting those explosions, because God wants us to prepare ourselves.
Don't let us grow old, have good service achievements, have a magnificent church building, but are money-minded, fall into moral sin. It's better not to. And this is a gift, a blessing. Because the reality speaks, there are not a few servants of God who until their old age are successful, their path is smooth, rich, honorable, but they do not bring people to heaven. The quality of their congregation is not the quality of the children of God, the standard of the Kingdom of Heaven. So we must have a stability of character that cannot fall again and that takes time.
Especially young people, if you don't start having a humble, gentle heart and loving God, then God will not trust you. Being honest is not enough. You can be honest, but you can still trip people up, be greedy for respect, and not like others who are more advanced, so that also does not make you trusted by God. So, you have to be as high as possible like Jesus. And this is what we should be very worried about, "When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Our world today is already corrupt. Look at our young generation today, corrupt. From ethics alone, it shows arrogance. How can you become a member of the Kingdom of God with such manners ?
If we can still change, change. Our lives should not be exemplary. Try to see today, how many people truly love God and are willing to give their lives without limits? Everything is calculated, even though the human soul is expensive. If all the wealth of this world were collected, it would not be enough to buy one soul. Why don't we really fight? Why are we still looking for profit in ministry? Why don't we sacrifice seriously? We are looking for people who can cry together for the salvation of souls.
We should be in a sense of crisis seeing the world drifting towards eternal darkness. Fix ourselves first. Come on, let's pray, because what we are facing is a dark world. Using logical calculations, calculators, it can't. God must be present with His power and we must be the media, the complete vessel for God to work in and through our lives. Our lives must be clean, our motivations must be straight. A doctorate in theology cannot be used as capital. If it can be good for sermons, it can also be good for self-actualization. Especially with social media, we can preach as much as possible, read as many books as possible, then people will be interested so that we can get many subscribers or viewers , and that makes us happy. Satan works that way. Even though that is not our focus.
Believe me, we definitely have strengths that God can use to save souls. This is not a matter of organization, or for the church to advance, but it is a matter of saving souls. Let's each ask God, "What should I do, Lord? Where is my place?" Then we must continue to improve ourselves, continue to build ourselves. Not only a process, but also progress. And each of us definitely has strengths or specialties that others do not have. Let's build ourselves. God is looking for troops who can join together to become people who are used by God earnestly to change others.
If it is just to create a noisy service, many churches have that ability. But we want to be a movement that truly changes. When we grow in character, in closeness to God, become people who are more like Jesus, and have stability of character, then God can entrust His feelings to us. God will not entrust His feelings to someone who is not worthy of being infected with His feelings. We become His vessels completely, meaning let the room of our hearts be filled with His heart, filled with His feelings, so that we feel what God feels. Like Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, we want to have a heart like that, one that can weep for souls. Not just small talk, but a heart that truly loves souls. This is not just about service activities, but souls who must be evacuated from darkness.
