CHANGE IS NECESSARY FOR GROWTH
REV TAN YE-PENG

This new year we must make a decision to reflect ourselves and see what are the changes we need to make to better improve ourselves for this coming new year. Be it Christian or not, let us be open to change as this sermon can changes ur destiny in life.

[Mt 18:1-4] UNLESS
We got to be willing to make changes and adjustment in life.
Repentance => in essence mean change, to change your life, cause of direction. It is not juz abt sin or condemnation. Re-, means to go back to sth. -Pent mean the highest places you can go. Repent means to go back to the highest way of thinkings, also mean to go back to the original source of God's thought, getting your thinking in line with God. Change in the mind and thinking and laid hold of wat God has in store for you.

Without change you cannot change your destiny. You cannot enjoy the promises of heaven when you do not change. Only changes will bring abt peace, joy, hope. You got to change as changes is necessary for progress. More thing will change as you progress and grow. Changes is constant and continual. The moment you stop changing, you stagnant in life and die off. Every thing in life requires changes.

Without changes there is no growth. Progression is only possible with changes, that is why company have to restructure, education system have to change to the modern world and etc. Change's greatest enemies is tradition. When you become tradition and stick to tradition, you are refusing to change. As born again, tongue-speaking believers, we got to know how to change. If we refuse to change we will be left behind, and called lack of innovation. Transformation is vital, inevitable. You got to be discipline to change, appreciating every opportunity to change, seizing the moment.

3 steps to changes
1. Decision – all changes begins with a decision. Ppl wun change when they have not decide to change. When you n=made a decision to change, tt situation of urs is no longer an option.
2. Dedication – it requires commitment. With commitment comes responsibility, and responsibility comes accountability.
3. Discipline – stay focus and courages & filled with faith.

5 reasons for resistant to change
1. Pride – I'm alright, I dun need to change. Understand that changes is not a one time event.
2. Fear – I'm afraid to change, what if. You are not able to launch out into the deep to take action but be paralyse by your limitation.
3. Rebellion – I dun care, I juz want it tt way. Stubbornness, stiff neck, in denial to change your situation.
4. Laziness – I'm oki with wat I have now. To be in juz enough or in lack, not willing to go the extra mile.
5. Ignorance – I din know I need to change. Fools din change and the death can't change. When change is necessary, not to change is destruction.

Dun change only when u hit a crisis, but changes as n when it is inevitable. Be wise when you change. Change is inevitable, either you lead the change or change will lead you.
My ability to lead the change will determine my success.
