Everything in life belongs to God

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Opps… yes, i am back to blog after a tiny break of absence. People are wondering why don’t i log on to msn anymore.. ehm… oh well… i have my reasons.. haha..

Ps 24:1 "The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it"

I was reading this verse before going to bed and it dawn upon me something. Everything i have in my life now belongs to God. The bed i am sleeping on, the pjs i am wearing and even the Bible i am reading belongs to not me, but the Lord. I am just a steward of His possessions. In natural circumstances, you won’t ask someone who cannot be trusted or irresponsible in nature to take care of ur things. However, God entrust us with His stuff because He have faith and trust in us even though we are imperfect.

In my lifetime, i borrowed alot of stuff from my parents, tons of it!! Never once did they reject me everytime i wanted to borrow something from them even though the thought of me wrecking their things is 50-50. When i first got my license, i drove my mum’s car alot and though i must admit, the scratches on her car are mostly because of my wrecklessness but never did she once screamed at me or ban me from driving her car. I think that this is love. It is not abt the possession but the character of the person being entrusted for responsibility being moulded. Just like God!! He entrusts us and believe that even when we fail, He will still trust us to take care of His possessions.

As such, we all have the responsibility to be responsible. Learn how to take good care of our stuff, our talents, even our own bodies. Remember, it is not yours but the Lord’s. Thats why the Bible says that we must prepare ourselves and come to Him as glorious beings when He comes back one day. I don’t want to be sloppy when He shows up. Time to clean up that room of yours matey!

Paying the price for anointing of God

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

Recently, these words keep coming back to me again and again, "Paying the price of anointing". I believe that every single one of us is called into greatness & shouldn’t settle for anything less. We see people anointed men n women of God around us, secretly envying them not because of they are wearing Ed Hardy Tee or because they are more blessed but because they have an anointing of God over their lives.

Usually i see myself in many aspects when i am dreaming… picturing myself doing things in what seem to be difficult in my situation now. However, i felt that God is speaking to me that if you want ur dreams to come true, you got to pay a price to achieve it.

If you desire to be a successful preacher one day, you must throw in hours of studying the Bible, listen to sermons, go to 1 year of Bible School, practise preaching again n again, build up ur spiritual life so on n so forth. That is the price to pay. People feel initimidated after hearing what they need to do to obtain the anointing and resort to the position of spectate & envying others instead.

Sometimes, i feel discouraged with myself esp times when i don’t play well during cg meetings, but God will speak to me on paying the price and i knew that i had to go an extra mile in order for me to become a anointed guitarist for my cg. Therefore, i made up my mind to practise the guitar for 1 hour every day and hopefully someone would volunteer to teach me and whip me up real good.

Being in the presence of CHC 17th anniversary celebration shows me one thing, the price that Pst Kong decided 17 years ago to pay was all worth it. Yes, it maybe tough in the beginning but seeing the fruits of labour, seeing people blessed thereafter surpluses all hardship one has gone through. It takes a big heart to achieve big dreams. God, give me a big heart
