Inconsistency & Being Comfortable
- 1. Inconsistency & Being Comfortable “Comfort and peace are great blessing from the Lord.” “He loves us so much He sent a comforter called the Holy Spirit.” John 14:26 John 10:27-28 - We are also secure in Him Matthew 11:28 - We can rest in Him Philippians 4:6 - You don't need to be anxious for anything “Sometimes being comfortable can hinder our strength and dependence on God.” “Comfort can also cause routine in your life.” “If you are at a state of comfortability in your life, its possible that you are lukewarm.”
- 2. Revelation 3:16 “As human beings, being lukewarm is what we like...but the consequence to Laodicia will be the same for us.” “There is nothing wrong with being comfortable unless that comfort causes us to be complacent with the things around us.” “The other problem with Christians is a lack of consistency in their service and lack of consistency in their commitment, in giving, and being obedient. This makes people undependable and causes many setbacks and problems in their lives.” ”Many people are so inconsistent in their walk with God that people doubt their conversion and testimony.” “An example of consistency was Daniel. They knew he would not change his lifestyle for any person or anyone even when his life was in danger.” “God doesn't want anything to come between us and Him. He wants us to be so consistent that everyone (believers and non-believers alike) can predict our response and actions to issues and matters because of our commitment to Him and His words.”
- 3. Hebrews 11:6 “One of the most important lessons a believer can learn is the necessity of being consistent day by day in life.” “Being inconsistent can be the root of serious failure in many lives because of being away from God and His word. It most often does not start with serious offenses, but small things.” “Inconsistency means not being consistent, lacking firmness of constitution, or character. Lacking harmony of conduct.” “Inconsistent people like to remain comfortable.” Numbers 32:1-5 “People who are comfortable want other people to do things for them, and not help them.” “We get comfortable in what seems to be inherited to us, but we don't want to take possession of what has been promised to us.” Numbers 32:6-15 Genesis 12:1-3
- 4. Matthew 25:14-30 “Taking possession requires action. You can't take possession of something by being comfortable or by making somebody else do it for you.” “Being comfortable makes you inconsistent and inconsistency has consequences.” “People don't nurture their anointing, but they will turn to what they know.” “How can you be consistent if your feel like your stuck.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Don't be consistent with any random thing. Turn to God first to find out what to be consistent with.” “To be consistent is to be unchanging over time, coherent, reasonably or logically harmonious. In agreement to or with something, which is the word of God.”
- 5. “To be consistent is to be able to maintain a particular stance or repeat a particular task with minimal variation.” “God is interested in His people being consistent in their love, commitment, service, giving (which doesn't always mean money), sacrifice and obedience." “A Christians life must be in agreement with the Bible which he claims to believe in.” “Being comfortable is dangerous place to be and hinders the Lord and prevents us from doing what we should be doing.” Ephesians 5:14 Proverbs 23:17 Proverbs 8:13 “The fear of the Lord is to hate inconsistency and being comfortable.”
