revived
haha charles is rite. This blog is almost dead la. haha gonna revive it! PLS HELP!!!!SOS!!!anyway today was the last day for SOTM, and i think its really one of the best and most important series Pst Kong has done so far, i've learnt alot frm it and i'm sure all of us have been blessed by it too. But more than that, i think we need to ask ourselves how our lifes have changed becos of it? Or has it not reallie changed at all?
I'm sure many of us have made sacrifices one way or another thruout our walk with God, and i'm sure there are many others out there, and perhaps some of us who are unable to comprehend why we want to embark on this journey, learning to live not for ourselves but a life that is Christ centered.
And sometimes i think subconsciously we feel that it seems more like "work". Every saturday becomes a day of battle in both flesh and spirit as we try to serve the best we can, bring as many friends, and then rising up to stand in the gap to pull down the presence of God. But yet, like what the song says "in the end, just to hear you say well done". We all have a cause to live for, and we are where we are today for a purpose. And i believe God has not made me go thru so much, just to put me in SIM, and then not empower me to fulfil the purpose he has for me there. But yet, i also know what it feels like to feel so "stuck". Theres so much i want to do, but things just dun seem to be happening the way I want it to. Am i fighting a losing battle?
2Cor 10:3-5
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowlege of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to christ.
How did Job manage to praise God when everything was taken away from him? Because his centre of gravity is not in those things. Its in God. After that cgm when bro d talked about our centre of gravity, i remember asking some of you what is an area in your life, that if the devil attacks, there is a possibility that you may not recover frm it. Yes we talked alot abt knowing our nature so that we will not be caught unaware when it happens one day. But when it does happen, have we found that friend we can count on to talk to and pull us back when it actually happens? Cos by that time, we 'll probably not be in the right frame of mind to make decisions.
And thats where the battle lies. Bro d once said, the devil does not even have to make it come to pass, he just have to make you think of it in your mind, and thats enuff to get you down. And all the devil has to do, is shake that centre of gravity. And whatever can be shaken will be shaken, and only what canot be shaken will remain.
haha but fear not, God will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. He knows our limits too and he will provide a way out. So, be of good cheer! For our God has overcomed, and we can be overcomers too!
It may seem like a losing battle now, but we will ultimately win the war.
fighting the fight of faith w u,

hey jme!
just wanna say this blog entry of yours is really revelational to me.
you are really a woman of faith. always strong in the lord. that's where i gotta learn from you. i'd always aspire to be like you, strong yet fun...
anyway...thanks for blessing me that day at the soup spoon. it made me realise you are someone i can really look up to and respect (hmm...i don't look up to many people)...thanks again...
God will prosper you in SIM since you found out that focusing on the lord is more important than focusing on serving Him.
well...all the best! have fun!
