Last Crew's Call to Action

God calls for us to forgive while maintaining boundaries necessary to steward and nurture our souls. This week, lean in to the wisdom of Solomon and study the book of Proverbs to help you develop tools for cultivating Godly relationships while asking God for the courage to forgive.

Palavra

Mateus 6:19-21“Não acumulem para si tesouros na terra, onde as traças e a ferrugem corroem, e onde os ladrões arrombam e furtam. Mas acumulem para si tesouros no céu, onde as traças e a ferrugem não corroem, e onde os ladrões não arrombam e furtam. Porque onde estiver o seu tesouro, aí estará também o seu coração.”


Referências bíblicas adicionais:
Mateus 6:5-6, Mateus 6:16-18, Mateus 6:2-4, Mateus 20:1-2, Mateus 6:31-34

Ideia Principal

Você já contou os dias para receber seu próximo salário como se fosse a manhã de Natal? Ou faz planos sobre o que vai fazer com seu pagamento em dois meses, dois anos? Em um mundo governado pela correria e pelo excesso de atividades, é fácil nos encontrarmos lutando e enchendo nossas vidas com mais e mais coisas, sem deixar espaço para o único que sabe e pode nos dar o que precisamos - O Rei Jesus. No Reino dos Céus, há uma ordem para as coisas. Jesus está sentado no trono e, quando o buscamos em primeiro lugar, não precisamos nos preocupar em não ter o suficiente, porque Ele nos proverá o que precisamos para investir em Seu Reino.


Deus quer seu coração. Ele não pode moldar o que não tem em Suas mãos.

1. Buscando o Seu Reino

O Reino de Deus não é construído com base em receber, mas em dar. O Pai nos deu Seu Filho. O Filho deu Sua vida. E o Espírito Santo nos é dado como um presente diário. Os ensinamentos de Jesus nos mostram claramente que o Reino de Deus opera com generosidade. Quando Jesus diz que os primeiros serão os últimos e os últimos serão os primeiros, Ele demonstra como Seu reino é “de cabeça para baixo” e não se conforma com a forma como o mundo pensa sobre poder ou sucesso. Sua misericórdia e graça nos são concedidas em abundância, não por causa do nosso esforço, mas por causa do Seu amor generoso. Assim como recebemos, agora temos a oportunidade de investir na embaixada de Deus aqui na Terra – a igreja local.

O Reino de Deus não é sobre justiça, é sobre Graça – todos são qualificados para a vida eterna.
Semear no Reino de Deus faz de você um colaborador em trazer aqueles que estão longe de Deus para perto d’Ele.
Quando buscamos o Reino de Deus primeiro, TODAS as coisas nos serão acrescentadas.

Buscar o Reino em primeiro lugar começa ao colocar o REI em primeiro lugar.

Como ser generoso com nosso tempo e recursos pode mudar a maneira como interagimos uns com os outros? Ou como você coloca Deus em primeiro lugar ativamente na sua vida?

2. Submetendo-se ao Seu Reino

Quando entregamos nossa vida e decidimos seguir Jesus, isso não é algo que fazemos uma única vez. É uma decisão diária colocá-lo em primeiro lugar e negar nossa carne. As Escrituras nos dão maneiras de ajudar a lutar contra nossa carne e crescer em nosso espírito; algumas dessas maneiras incluem a oração, o jejum e a doação.

A oração é como comunicamos nossas preocupações diárias enquanto pedimos graça.
O jejum é uma forma de negar nossa carne e nos lembrar de que Deus está no controle, não nossos desejos.
A doação alinha nossos corações ao propósito do Seu Reino aqui na Terra.

Não há maneira melhor de quebrar o domínio da ganância do que dar e ser generoso.

Quais são alguns sistemas que você coloca em prática para ajudar a implementar a oração, o jejum e a doação?

Conclusão

A moeda do mundo é o dinheiro, mas a moeda do Reino de Deus é a generosidade. Embora a vida seja cheia de momentos difíceis, muitas vezes consistindo em grandes pressões financeiras, Jesus nos pede para focarmos nossa atenção n’Ele em vez das preocupações que temos. Mateus 6:30 diz: Se Deus veste assim a erva do campo, que hoje existe e amanhã é lançada ao fogo, não vestirá muito mais a vocês? Deus não apenas conhece nossas necessidades, Ele as entende. Quando colocamos Deus em primeiro lugar em nossas vidas, Ele não hesita em prover. Ele é o doador de todas as coisas. Ele é o doador da vida e da vida em abundância.

Chamada Para A Ação

Você sabia que…

● 77% dos adultos entre 35-44 anos dizem que as finanças são a principal causa de estresse?

● A pressão financeira é uma das principais causas de divórcio?

● 16% das vítimas de suicídio enfrentaram perda de emprego ou problemas financeiros?


Reflita onde a maioria das suas preocupações está enraizada – reserve um tempo nesta semana para anotar as vezes em que o dinheiro vem à sua mente. Faça um esforço para entregar naquele exato momento a preocupação que vier à sua mente, lembrando-se de que Deus é Rei e Ele está no controle dessa sua preocupação.

Scripture

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭5:12-14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”

Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity….” ‭

Additional Scripture References: ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭9‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ 1 Peter 2:9, 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Samuel‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭NIV‬, 1 Samuel 16:18, 1 Samuel 17:15, ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭17:38-40‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Main Idea

Have you ever tried to run a long distance? If you have, you know that it requires real and consistent training to achieve your goal. No matter what your intention, without training, you may find it difficult to arrive at the finish line. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. In the same way, our journey of faith is one of endurance. Training at every stage of our development is important. Time does not dictate maturity, but our training will. You can be old and immature, and young and mature. It’s not about arriving, but simply starting. We can trust that God will give us everything we need at the time that we need it. We’re not delayed, we’re destined!

If you want to win the battles of life you need training.

1. You Are Set Apart

Our becoming comes from our believing. Do you believe that you’re called? That you’re chosen? That you’re cared for by God? Securing our identity in Christ allows us to develop and mature with him. If we don’t know who we are, we will never know who we can be. You’re not like the world, you’re not like everyone else, you’re not missing out.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. [1 Peter 2:9]

What God has for you is for you
You can’t be like what you are called to lead
It’s not about being more gifted, it’s about being more disciplined

You are not delayed, you’re being developed.

In what area do you find it difficult to believe what God says about you?

2. You Are Growing

You are called and chosen by God. You are anointed but may not yet be appointed. Maturity prepares you to steward what God has called you to. An untrained David could never beat Goliath. He was able to fight appropriately because he had trained for years. Spiritual maturity is the process of becoming more Christ-like in character, attitude and behavior. You can’t go where God’s taking you without maturing along the way. 

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” [1 Samuel 16:7]

Time will not dictate your maturity, your training will
The mark of maturity is not just hearing the word, but listening to what the Word says
Although you might have not walked in it yet, you are it

If you never train, you will never become

What are you doing today to mature for tomorrow?

Summary

Availability unlocks the door of maturity in our lives. King Saul was supposed to fight but David made himself available for growth. His willingness to embrace the season he found himself in and make himself available to be developed allowed him to step up when he was called upon. Are you open to maturity? Are you open to growth? Are you open to change? The world will try to put on fear, insecurity, and failure. Pick up courage, security, and peace. God’s strength is with you as you daily surrender to Him.

Call To Action

Reflect this week on how you are investing your time to mature. Commit to spend time in one of these 5 areas:

  1. Dedicated time to prayer 
  2. Time off of social media
  3. Sabbath/Rest 
  1. Reading the word
  2. Serving others 

Be prepared to share your experience at Crew next time!
