By The Spirit Of God, We Claim The Nations
Praise the Lord, I really want to praise God's name. He is ever wonderful! Amen! Just came back from the conference, the sermon today is magnificent! Talks about pride, the number one sin. People would usually think the number one sin is killing, rape all that. But world's number one sin is pride. Pride can kill, cause a downfall of a nation, of a person, of a company. As mention in the Bible, God hated pride and proud people. Humility is the gateway to success. Amen yeah! Learn so much today and took down so much notes. Praise the Lord. Tonight, I grew to love God more, more passionate about Him. God, thank you for giving me the chance to know you, the permission to love you and be loved. Praise the Lord, Amen!
Jesus often teach us to be humble, to be meek. Today I leant that, meekness is not weakness. Meekness is strength! Blessed are the meek. Prof Ekman speak about Matt 11:28-30, come to the Lord all those who are weak. Come to Him, and he shall give you rest. Jesus gave each of us the right to seek him and find rest.
Once again I am taught to be humble, this time it's for real. My new journey has just started, it's going to be refreshing, filled with God's grace and armed with God's strength. I am going to lead my life with humility, be like Jesus. It's not going to be easy, but I can do it.
Isn't it funny? Humans are the ones that made his/her life tough and difficult. All because of one reason. Pride. Pride can cause a meek person to become a beast. Life can be good, can be easy-- just live with humility. Humility makes life easy. At the back of fear, there is pride. We are dead in Christ Jesus, people cannot judge a dead person, dead man have no fear. We shouldn't fear, because we are dead in Christ Jesus. Fear not, because fear is defeated. One interesting fact that the speaker mention, if people don't like me, God bless them. If people like me, God bless them too. Great huh? Amen! Humans have pride because of the lack of trust. They want to show off what they have-- What's the point? It's just like when you score good results, you go around boasting. but once, the report book is close, who cares? Pride kills and God resist the proud. Don't fight with God, be humble and God will fight for you. Pride is reacting to the lie, where humility is reacting to the truth. Humble people are strong in the spirit.
People might think, a humble person is week, but no! Humble people is not meek, they are strong! Humility is resting on somebody bigger, our God! Often we tend to blow things up, make it big when it's small at first. Reality is exciting enough. When we have pride, we will always be nervous. Nervous that others will overtake us, people will do better than us. Do not compare, for whenever you compare, there will always be someone or something bigger and better. One thing that Prof Ekman mention, which I never did take note. We all know that Jesus didn't die for nothing. He died for something yeah?--- Jesus didn't die for nothing, we are that something. Amen! If everyone hates me, I know God loves me still. Mary, Jesus' mother is an example of a humble servent. Obedience is humility, to be humble is to obey.
The speaker did share with us, about an incident that he didn't comit. He was taken to court, he was depress cause he didn't comit the offence. God spoke to him, "be like Jesus." He didn't know what it mean, so he asked God. God told him, "Jesus died for the sins he didn't commit." Jesus' love for us, who or what can compare to Him?
Don't have to prove anything when you know who you are and what you are doing. This message is powerful.. We are nothing in Christ Jesus, but we are everything In Christ Jesus. We can't do anything without Jesus, but we can do anything with Christ Jesus. Amen, Praise the Lord!
When the sermon end, I felt that I have learnt a lot. I was so touched at the end of the conference, while singing the last two songs, I teared and teared. When things seems impossible, run to God. When you feel that you can't go on, run to God. When you feel you are all left alone, God is there. When you feel that everyone hates you, God loves you. Jesus said, come to him. God opens His arm to all that is willing to go to Him. Yes, Praise the Lord. I truely understand tonight-- God will always be there, and that's a promise. God never break His promise. No matter how weak I get, how tired I get of my life, of my career, God will always be there for me to run to. Jesus said, come to Him. I'm loving Him deeper, deeper then ever. Now, I can say from my heart, I TRUELY love God. Not only do I obey, I love Him too, much more deeper. Amen!
Many times I broke God's heart, He forgave me. I broke mine and He mend it for me. I hurt Him, but He forgive me. I hurt myself, and God is always there to wrap my wound, to heal me. God, I don't deserve all this, but by your grace, you set me free, you love me and you promise you will forever be. God, all that I do, I do it for you. Let me learn to be a true servant, to serve with humility. I Love You God! Amen..
