Trust in God

It's in this time of the year again that some will be leaving for further study and some will sacrificially stay on. I am truly glad some had finally decided what's best.

It's also a time to let go and let God dictate and direct the path of those leaving and some who have already left. The question that I always asked was if they've been sufficiently grounded with the word to withstand the lure of peer pressures out there. Very curios to finding out if they are still professing the same faith and living an uncompromising Christian life.

Or...have they fallen? defeated?

A lesson that I always have to learn - to trust in God.

burned out?

We always hear of this quote either in similar fashion or that word totally. "Thirsty? Drink 100 plus!" or "Burned out and feeling stressed? Take a nap!"

Why do we feel stressed out and burned out? For those serving out in the youth or any ministry in the church, they can tell you stories of what it's like to feel burned out and stressed out. It feels empty inside of them. They feel depressed and pessimistic of projects that will be taken up. They will always ask the question "Why do it?" This is because they have seen their fair share of troubles and are not happy with the results they achieved. Thus, they release it all out in splashes of cold water on people willing to take it up and do it.

For those serving and already feeling so, praise the Lord. It means that you have finally know that you can't do everything by yourself. It's a constant reminder to go back to the Father for help and guidance. Do you know that a prayer can be such a powerful tool in helping us solve our problems when we most need a solution? Don't ever underestimate the power of prayer. From a personal experience, just one prayer help shifted all unbalance into order again.

For those not into serving yet and new to this burned out feeling, praise the Lord too that you are reading this. Though i won't give you tips to avoid or overcome it, i can tell you that no one works alone. The church is a body of believers, each playing their respective roles. SO no one works alone. The Scriptures also say that how can the eye say to the ear i don't need you? So there you go, word from the Lord prompts us to work together. Let us know your frustrations and we can solve it together.

this post is short but i hope it will help the rest of us to constantly ask for the Lord's guidance and our fellow believers as well. A good day and God bless!

God decides

For those who followed football recently you must have heard about an English football club Manchester City interested to sign Kaka from AC Milan FC. If Kaka agrees to join this football club he will become one of the world most richest footballer. But he did not.

In an interview with him he said that for him to make this big decision he has spent a lot of time praying. Kaka happened to be a very devoted Christian. After reading his interview I personally find this short sentence has really summed up the way of a devoted Christian. He said, "I'm currently celebrating this decision at home with a couple of friends. I'm a religious person and I believe the path God decides for us is not always the most logical one.

This has made the bible verse "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these thing will be added unto you" comes alive! It has also suggested to us a question and a point; The question is - are we willing to submit to God in making big and important decision? The point is - Although the decision may sound and looked illogical but we can be rest assured God knows and wants the best for His children.

May you be challenged and be motivated knowing that God is Almighty!

separated by a line

As youths of our own church and a youngster having the time of their lives with outings and gatherings with games and laughter, sitting down quietly just don't come easily don't they? Honestly speaking, how many of us can boldly say, i'm always sure that there will always be a short period of time where we will sit down and do our daily devotion?

Not to belittle those who can do it and have been doing it all this while. Good for them. However, i'm referring to the youths in general. Forgiveness given, all of us are busy with our lives and our own activities. It's not wrong to miss one or two sometimes. The problem is not that you're not doing your devotion but can you bring yourself back to doing it?

AS some people always say that a habit can only be done when someone does something again and again without fail. It may sound easy but it's not as easy as you think. Countless people have failed in understanding their own failures and wish to ignore that. Not a good sign.

However! All is not lost. With just a small thought of repentance, you can come back again to the fold and continue doing it as before. Men are weak therefore, we need God's intervention and help to ensure we live to His commands.

So youths, me included, let us persevere knowing fully well that we are backed up by a divine being that wishes to see us face to face. Let us all take one single step forward and the journey in our daily walk with the Lord will start! So what are you waiting for? Pray and repent and do it!

God bless all of us!
