Praise God for the answered Prayer

21th October 2007

This sunday morning, as usual Justin and I go for morning prayer for sunday school at 8.30am. We prayed for the children to come and come punctually. Then wow in the midst of our prayer, we heard a lot of children coming, wow most of them came before 9 where normaly they will be there at 9:15am really breakthrough lolz .. praise the Lord. Then some more got one more new comer, Rachel and those children who stop coming for sometime also showed up. Wow God is so real. This reminded me bout last months also during one of the sunday school prayer, where pastor Lily sorethroat untill can't really pray, then we pray for her then wow, she can pray already then at the service she go up the pulpit to make announcement that time she's completely healed!!! Amen hehe ... well not to boast, just want to testify that God is so real and good to us..

Integrity Upheld

Integrity Upheld

Psalm 41:12

As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
and set me before Your face forever.

At times, God will be the only witness to your righteousness behavior. Sometimes God is the only one who will understand your motives. Sometimes you will do all you know that God has asked you to do, only to face ridicule from others. At such times all you can do is maintain your integrity, trusting that God always keeps His eyes on you. God looks favorably upon those who walk with integrity, doing what they know is right, regardless of how others perceive their actions.

The most important thing is not that people know the truth.
The most important thing is that you are a person of integrity before God.
When no one seems to understand why you have done something or when others question why you have done all you should have done, your confidence should not be in the hope of vindication in the eyes of others.
It should be in the knowledge that God keeps you in His sight.
If you have this confidence, it will be enough to sustain you.

This passage toched and comforted my heart a lot, especially in times of trial, times where been accuse for doing something good which is so hard for people to believe. Well, no men are truatable except God , why should people believe everything i said? There is not much people know me well.. indeed .. things that i think or do is hard to believe as well cannot blame people for can't understand lolz cause there are times i also tent to judge or accuse people . cause when i do that wow makes me feel i'm more superior or righteous than them which is bullshit haha another lie of the devil .. .. sometime i also wonder .. whether i really like what they said , just another excuses? well , it maybe .. but i guess i want to be persevere in things i do that i believe i do for the good course and be integrity before God instead of man and let God judged, even that time God said i'm failed then i failed. no regrets. Hope if you reading the passage above will encourage you guys to walk in integrity hehe .. God bless...

Keep Going

October 01, 2007

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

He said
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. "
."In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.

In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said.

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots?".
"I would not quit on the bamboo and likewise I will never quit on you."

"Don't compare yourself to others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned.

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.

God Bless You
