hmm todays message was kinda... interesting. about like the three points thingy. like conditions of the land, conduct and i forgot the last one. but it was good la, about the cannan and CANNOT thingy. like sometimes we try to shy away from responsibility and all that and go like "ai ya cannot la, very busy, got commitments, pai seh la, very shy" its like, excuses ah. and like being enemies with the world and all that. it kinda shows us like how set apart we are in God ah, and theres this really big family we can fall back to and know that theres someone thats gonna be with us all the days of our lives and even more.
i duno about the rest of the other stuff la but the things that kinda spoke to me was like when yer going into the promised land like u dont have to worry about family and all that. something around those lines la. then it kinda started something. cause like before i was preparing for church i was bathing la, then God kinda asked me "so are u going to yer parents church today?" then i thought and went "do u think i should?" then God went like "its up to you." then i scrubbed my hair then i said "i think i will go cpbc today." then God said like "good. thats your place." then like for me i guess God kinda wanted me to know like cpbc is like MY PROMISED LAND AH! like where God wants me to be and just to build his kingdom and being like a "interprising hub" that attracts people and work from there. its like, God just showed me like how even if me and my family, we may attend different churches and stuff, it all eventually adds up to God in the end so yea, it may be good too. like building more territory or something.
then there was this part about like how when God gives us the promised land and stuff then like sometimes we end up becoming the king instead of God. and then we end up doing things with like our own strength! i guess sometimes pride plays a factor in such things i guess. or when we look at the circumstances then we become too trying and we forget that God should be in place. i guess sometimes like in our lives, we become really trying and end up making our own decisions and stuff and God becomes like a servant! which shouldnt be so....! its like what that guy said that, it made me think like in everything that we do, we should always let God be in control of it, like in church, we should commit things to God. and the best kinda way to commit things to him is prayer and to just leave things to him and learn how to heck like your own ways and realise that Gods the king! remember the part about him talking about moses and the people in the wilderness and how God was the one that brought them out of egypt? "REMEMBER THE LORD THY GOD!" its like we should always have God in our minds and just remembering him and like how in every single thing he has blessed us and eventually we will start noticing Gods power and just relying on him for every single thing and being dependant on him and not on ourselves! and also that God is for us and not against us and no weapon formed against us shall prosper!
then like after that the pastor guy was talking about doing miracles, healing the sick and people will go like WOW! then i thought to myself "i want to do great things like that too" and i kinda told that to God too. for me, lately i have been thinking about like doing great stuff like that. but sometimes i just feel as though i get stuck in that wilderness, like im that joshua generation kinda thingy. like everytime i see something cool, some success happening and like Gods doing something in my life, its like i conquered something, but eventually i go back to the wilderness again and yea, that cycle keeps happening ah. maybe sometimes i feel inadequate about doing great things, and all that. sometimes i dont know how to go about doing things like that, like i get discouraged easily and sometimes i becoming trying. but i duno ah, like i have this damn strong kinda conviction that i wanna do great stuff, but i duno how, but i just feel it! and like i just wanna bring Gods kingdom to like everywhere i go ah. so today made me think abit la.
hmm i guess thats everything.. oh ya. pray for me so that ill have more discipline to have the habit of sleeping and rising at an early hour from now on and also to really absorb what im studying. its like my stamina for studying is damn lousy HAHA. its like i can study la, but when im tired, my brain dies and i hate looking at words. its like the determination is there but, my body cant tahan or something. wa jia lat i got like this time constrain ah, only left 3 weeks to study. its kinda stressful la, but yet im glad it makes me study HAHA. its like something to TRAIN me.
