Testing WILL cOme! =D. pRaIsE GoD

Testing will come and yet i say praise God.lol. wonder y? u'll c in the end.

Nways lets start to deal with the fact that testings will come.

In Psalms 81:7 - "you called in trouble, and i rescued u; i answered you in the hiding place of thunder; i TESTED you at the waters of Meribah."

Well we Christians who have been saved noe wat it was like before we were saved. WE called out to God to save us n in His amazing grace He did! (you called in trouble, and i rescued u). We went on living our lives and we have seen the goodness of God, the wonderful miracles He has done in times where things seem impossible with men sumhow manage to happen. (i answered you in the hiding place of thunder - being answered by thunder is not sumtin normal.=_=).

And GUESS WAD!


WE WILL BE TESTED
(i TESTED you at the waters of Meribah)

U c.God will test His people coz wat is faith if it cant be tested? and this testing is also to show us whether we have actually been following God cz of the blessings and when He stops givin blessings to us would we still seek Him or juz turn our backs? =S. Testing also are also to produce perseverance as it says in James 1:3 - The testing of ur faith produces perseverance.

As we draw close to the 2nd coming of Christ, Testings will come all the more 2 an even greater degree! This is coz God wants to separate the weed from the grass, the goats from the sheep and those who have never genuinely love God will fall away to the cares of this world. I sincerely hope ur nt 1 of them. But nway, hope for those who dun fall away. As u go thru this testings, and u "pass" them, u are one of those ppl who God is gonna use POWERFULLY to do His work in the last days.

Noticed why i highlited the Powerfully? In Luke 4:1 it says that Jesus was led about by the Spirit in the wilderness. U c ! Some of us may be goin thru the "desserts" of life (testings) as we experience lack of resources and etc. I noe im goin thru 1 now with the assignments and all piling up n the lack of knowledge in how to do it all. BUt u noe. im NOT GONA WORRY! =)..cz if u read on in Luke 4:14, It says that Jesus returned in the POWER OF THE SPIRIT! dosent it juz make u rejoice when goin thru testings? it does me coz i noe as i yield myself more to God in the midst of this troubles, I will come out of it in POWER of the Spirit!!

So my bros n sis in Christ, let us not be down when goin thru testings but rather REJOICE coz our God has sumtin amazing installed for us as we go thru this testings and there will be POWER!! =D. so REJOICE!

Rejoicing in trials,

David

FeAr God ALONE!

yoyo..sori ppl 4 d long absence. due to reasons lik er..lab reports, assignments, and lazy =P, i haven been updating..sori ya..=(..

anyway i was reading my bible in 1 of my quiet times recently n there was something that reli reli spoke out 2 me..something we hear so often but YET find it so hard 2 apply in our lives..

In Psalms 76:7 it says; You(God) alone are to be feared. Who can stand before You when You are angry?

u c it says God ALONE is 2 be feared..noticed y i emphazise the word alone? its cz so many times as humans that we tend to fear so many other things such as "what ppl would think if i did this for God?", "would the outcome be ok?" and etc etc. BUT the bible says ALONE and it means ALONE! .

For example, lets just say something good happens in your life. Would u praise God's name in front of those who comes and compliments you despite them being atheist or non-believers? i admit there are times im afraid to bring God's name in the picture when responding to such praises especially coming from sum1 older (eg.aunt, uncle) cz u neva noe how they mite shoot u bac but this words really shot me! cz God ALONE is to be feared..in oder words we juz do what He commanded us to do and in this case is to glorify His name despite the fact that we could be ridiculed..

Now this is juz an example and there are actually many other ways we could stand up for God but yet we choose not to coz we fear what men might think.

Besides that, fearing God ALONE is also 2 show that we trust Him knowing that wateva He tells us to do, He will see us thru it despite there being opposition from men. i lik wat dis phrase "1 man + God = MAJORITY!" .and it also says that greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. so why should we fear those who are of the world? 0_o..amazing!! In addition to that, it also says fear not men who destroy only the body BUT fear God who has the power to destroy both the soul and the body! ..

Btw, this fear that i speak off is not that lik afraid or anytin lik dat but rather its awe and reverence, noe-ing that God is the ultimate power and His will will be done! =)..

so yeah! if u have been convicted reading this post about standing up for God despite what ppl mite think n u haven been doin so, 2day is the day 2 purpose in ur heart to be 1 who fears GOD ALONE! =)..join me as we proclaim the greatness and goodness of God to men not caring what they mite think bout us. And yes it wouldn't be easy as spoken BUT we are neva to do it in our strength but instead to depend on God for His strength to be bold! so yea pray 4 strength!

Unashamed,

David.
