I actually felt quite lazy to blog, but felt that even at the start of this week God has indeed develop me into someone stronger. Therefore, I really thank God and would like to blog it down and praise him.
As the year begins, I told myself to work in a spiritual way – meaning living in the spirit of the God and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. “God, help me to go deep in my character and be filled with the fruits of the spirit!” This is something big that I’m going to seek the god for, and I ask God to develop me by his power and not by my human effort as I knew that if I didn’t seek him, and work a way out by my own strength, it is impossible for me.
Sometimes, when you want God to work powerfully within you, you need to surrender – Enthrone God’s right over your life! [Been preached by Pastor Melvyn during the service today] I question God this morning on the way to my Post encounter lesson, “God, how am I going to listen to your words and allow you to develop me?” He refers me to:
- 1 Corinthians 1: 7-9
“Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for
Our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will keep you strong to the end, so
That you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ
Our Lord is faithful.”
Sometimes, you may be so confused by what is the message that the lord is telling you. Seek him and question him, he will give you more and made it clearer to you. I was so amazed by even when I’m blogging now, I ask God how am I going to express the message you are telling me and Guess what? God refers me at this instant to read 2 Corinthians 12: 1-10 [Paul’s Vision and His Thorn] and it clears the picture in my mind.
In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
“But he said to me,” My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about the weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong”
During the worshiped today, the word “weak” also flash in my mind and in 2 Corinthians 12, weakness was also strongly emphasized. I think God is telling me that we should delight in our weaknesses and do not conceal or be afraid of it. For when you are weak, the lord is strong and when only you boast about your weaknesses, Christ power can then rest upon you. Aman!! Praise God and thanks God! I think this is the thing I’m lacking and should work on it. I’m always finding excuses to hide my weaknesses and I believed God is asking me to surrender it so that he can lay his hand upon me!
