Sunday, August 07, 2005 || +==BLESSED==+
- This post is specially dedicated to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who's special touch I've experienced with more prevalence over the past few days. U may call it a personal REVIVAL.
The Bible says: "The joy of the Lord is my strength." How true this is when we learn to take hold of His promises. Life truely will be like this blog topic mentions. I mean... it's a peace that passes all understanding, justified far beyond wat words can describe.
However, when we experience more of God, we experience more of spritual warfare, cuz the Devil a.k.a S.A. Tan will wanna rob us of this touch. Dats rite, my life is expriencing spiritual warfare RITE NOW. Its juz like wat God told the Apostle Paul (then called Saul): "You will have to suffer many things for My Name". Still, we gotta to keep movin, walking by faith not by sight.
A recent instance of a challenge to my faith: Anger, when it comes to competition. In ytd's Heart.Sports (which is my church's sports section that takes place every Sat.), I was cheesed-off by remarks made by a fellow church member who gave extreme, negative remarks on my team's performance. (We were playing Super Captain's Ball, an experimental game conjured up by our church). This team member was from the opposing team (obviously...). Anger completely overwhelmed my heart there and then, and I started wishing for the other team to lose. Juz then Lord Jesus spoke to me in a still, small voice, and I was stunned. He said: "why do u habour these thoughts against ur brother? If smth like dat were to be spouted by your a fellow team-mate, do u think u would want me to stop ur team from winning?" How naive of me to think dat none in my team had such a discouraging spirit. As soon as happened, a new church member in the substitute stands ( whr I was standing in) spouted a bad word! I shan't expose wat vulgarity it was, but at dat moment, I really asked God for forgiveness.
Its in times like these dat we haf to be careful not to throw away our testimony. The Bible says dat in the last days, "Brother will turn against brother", and dat does not exclude us Christians. I encourage all of my bros' and sistas' in Christ readin' this... DUN THROW AWAY UR TESTIMONY WATEVER THE COST. U may think its easy for me to say this rite now, but the truth is, it isn't. I could haf easily, spouted smth foul back in response to dat church member's comments!
Peepz out there, wat spirit do u carry w/ u today? Carry a spirit of encouragement, no matter who or wat entity u believe in. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and He came here not to judge the world, but to save it.
We are blessed for a reason, so dat we can bless others in return.
Peace out and GB!
