What Got You Here, May Not Get You There

- God changes the way that He deals with us

- We find it easier when we were 'Baby Christians' as God seems to answer our questions/needs very fast but as we grow in Spiritual maturity, God expects us to exercise our Faith for bigger things

- God does not change His Word, God in nature does not change

- As much as we know what to change, we also need to know what not to change, i.e values in Scriptures

- There are always signs that tell us what/when to change, i.e Recognise the well that is drying up

- God is always interested in using new methods to create something new in our lives

Isaiah 43:19

See, I am doing a new thing!

    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

    and streams in the wasteland.

- Cannot purely use the 'love' during courtship/the 'love' during first 3 years of marriage to sustain marriage till we die.

Proverbs 1:32

For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,

 and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

- Sometimes changes are not to your expectation (may not make sense)

- When God wants to bring us from here and there, it often involves process, from Part A, A.1, A.2 etc to Part B.

- It's okay to put down your pride and say sorry: 1 step backwards = 1 step forwards

- God is always the Initiator with His Words

Matthew 4:4

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

*Bread = Resources

- Word of God: Sustain our lives

- Hear God's voice

- Read Bible -> Will of God (serving and sharing Gospel)

- Hear from Pastors'/Preachers' sermons

- Speak to matured people
