personal and travels
Some Christians asked me why they experienced terrible life in spite of turning their life for God. I told them, Serving God and knowing Him more and more is not easy, the more we draw our self to Him the more Satan will harm and tempt us, he wants to destroy our life so no one will believe us and believe Jesus name. As Christians we have to be careful and take heed about it.
We just arrived at home from our work but we pass-by at mall for a while and bought a piece of sleeper and dress for our daughter. This is one of so many ways of expressing our love to her. We love our self, we love our brothers and sisters, we love our husband or wife but loving our children surpasses everything.
I find gardening as one of my hobbies. I really enjoyed seeing the flowers in our yard, it brightens up my day and gives me inner feeling of joy. Every time I see my flowers bloom, I always look up and say Thank you Lord for the beautiful creations you let us enjoy. This flower named Gerbera, I bought this in the flower shop a year ago, this came from Malaysia according to the sales lady. this was so tiny but now it grows more beautiful each day. It never stop giving me beautiful pink flower. This is only seldom to happen to give three flower at a time. That is why I took a shot!
Honestly speaking, I’ve learned a lot about homiletic especially during the discussions because of the questions rises. As a teacher I considered the two ways of learning and there are the learning coming from the teacher and learning from the students. Both have a unique and stored Ideas that are applicable to the place where God puts us. Never stop learning.
What should we do? First we have to understand that God loves you, and He died at the cross for you and me to save us from the penalty of sin, and was buried but resurrected to give us hope. Next, we must have an understanding that faith in Christ leads us for salvation of our souls and this is a gift from God as stated in Ephesians 2:8, and also in Romans 10:9 say “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.”
A saying that says, same feather flock together. There is a point behind this statement for it tells us if what you are, what like most and what you do always, the same people you met and be together. I like music, this is my life and I have many musician friends, we used to hanged up together and playing musical instruments, practicing and developing new songs are our hobby. These help us fulfill our life and make us happy.
*What is the most important for you? This is a question that we need to know. For most of the time when I spent for evangelism and ask the same question, most of the answers fall to the following;
Good health and wealth, they say that if you are in good condition for both that’s enough. Others also say that if I can finish my education and can practice my degree, and some choose to be famous. As a Pastor, I’m not saying that those mentioned above are not important, those enumerated above are partly important for we are still living in this world that demands both physical and material aspects. But you know what? The most important for us to know and obtain is the salvation of our soul. For it is stated in Mark 8: 36 “for what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” Physical and material things are passing and gone, we can’t bring them to heaven. Our body will turn to dust when our soul and spirit apart.
