Do You Really Believe What You Believe?

haha It's been such a long time I've not blog. Many things happened.

Anyways, this thought had been lingering in my mind for quite a bit these few days.

"DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE?"

You heard from the news reports and read from the newspapers or learn from school that lightning strikes are dangerous and can be fatal. So, you heard it, and you believe it, and because you believe it, you avoid going swimming or standing in an open area when there's a thunderstorm. IF you do so, you really do believe that lightning strikes are dangerous.

You heard that fuel prices are hiking up by tmr. You believe it. Therefore, you refill your fuel tank before midnight in order to save some money. You really believe what you believe.

You know and believe that fire is capable of burning you. Therefore you stay away from the fire in order to avoid getting burn.

As Christians, we know and believe that:

God is

• awesome
• infinite in power
• infinite in wisdom
• sovereign over all.
• holy
• hates sin
• King
• .....

SO, as you can see right before the list, everytime we believe a certain fact, it's follow up with an action. When we believe in something, we tend to do something to act according to it.

hmmm.. Let's go through the list up there about what we believe God is..

It would be nice if we say that we believe it.. but do we really believe what we believe?
It's a question we should ask ourselves..

For example, if we believe He's infinite in wisdom, why sometimes we human don't trust that God knows what's best for us and we still do things our way?

If He's King why do we sometimes approach Him and act as if we're the boss instead?

do we really BELIEVE what we believe??

lets take some time to ponder through this question, of course all of us have failures and it is by God's grace and by Jesus' sacrifice that we are saved. Yet, it is best for us to take sometime to think through these now. SO, If we really believe, lets not just say we believe but lets seek out and really believe in it.

Do You Really Believe What You Believe?

Issue #1

Stressed up during exams? tired and worried?

I decided to write this because many of the youths are having exams these few weeks. Hope that there'll be people who will read it. I hope that all readers will be reminded of how Great is our God and will feel refreshed.

Exams are suppose to do good to us. haha but, I guess there'll always be people that slacks off and get stressed up during exams, it really isn't a good thing to but somehow it's just that person inside of you that is too lazy sometimes. Yea i know that feeling. That causes you to slack off and get tensed up during exams right? lol I admit that i am one of them.

So how do we deal with it?
There's no way that we can turn the clock upside down anymore to go back to the past and study. SO?

So how?

Trusting that God will bring us through and be encouraged that He is always with us till the end. God promised us that He'll never forsake you.

Acknowledge and realize that by ourselves we are nothing. We only have 7 ounces of brain or brain juice or whatever you want to call it, working right now. Besides that, that 7 ounces really is nothing at all compared to God. God wants us to depend on Him in whatever we do. So that in all things, God will get the glory that He deserves.

When we are weak, that's when we are strong. Because it is then God gives us strength to do His will. And God is the everlasting God that gives strength to the weak. Whenever we're feeling tired, He's the one that will sustain us and go before us.

Results really isn't all the important after all. When you die you won't be carrying all your certs with you. But in all things we do it for Him so that through us people can see that God is a great God. I know we always fail in doing this. That's why God said that my grace is sufficient for you.

So just trust God, pray for strength and wisdom, depend on Him, study, believe that He'll be with you now and always and say:

BRING IT ON!

give God all the glory that He deserves.. Amen!

Sermon Notes

My school went for a choir competition today, we've been preparing for it for weeks.. skipping classes and staying back in school almost every single day.. we are quite well prepared and we were quite confident as well.. we thought things will turn out good.. we thought we can get into the finals.. It wasn't a joke at all when i say we really put our hearts into it.. but it just ended like that.. our journey just ended like that the moment the results are out.. We couldn't get into the finals..

But did the journey really ended there?
No.

Even though we couldn't get into the finals, i was still glad i spend much time and effort on it. Because i am happy to be with them and to spend time with them.

During that period of time when i first join the choir. I thought it will be another rubbish that my friend pulled me into. And i was having a hard time too. Dealing with all my emotions and feelings. I hardly could imagine how things could turn out to be good, especially when I know that I am not a good singer and I am not good at dealing with people to be honest. Lol I was almost ready to blame my friend for wasting my time. But still I hope that God would bring something good out of this.

And indeed God is good.

God had brought me many friends in school. Younger ones that I can reach out to. People that I can reach out. Knowing people that belongs to the Lord yet i never know before. Finding out many things that I never know. Getting closer with my own friends. Taught how to sing properly in choir. So much things happened. And of course got to visit my friends' school for the first time. lol. all in all, it was good. Although we didn't win, but I believe things that were meant to be are meant to be. I believe that God don't simply make things to just happen.

So no matter where you got yourself to.. the journey never ended. There could be sadness, pain, wrong steps, thing that you never wished it happened too. But as long as you are looking heavenward and loving and trusting Him.. You can fully trust God that He will bring you through it all.. All things happened for a purpose.. And God can use it for good.

You just walked passed a street that was filthy in your eyes. But like the bible says, All things are made beautiful in its time. So no matter what you go through..

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Living in a world..

Living in a world
Flowing with it's flow
And wonder is that all they have
And wonder is that all they can offer

Broken hearted people
Each with it's own 70
Beginning a journey of life
That ends when it should be

When my heart has ceased to beat
What will my eyes see?
When I come before the Throne
What will my words be?

So I stop and seek with my heart
To see what's this life all about.
To find who was the one that gave me breathe
To find who was the one that gave me life

And all i found was Jesus
All i see is Jesus
In Him I find..I find..

I find myself
Wrapped in the Love of God
I find myself
Playing in an endless play

I found a Light
That shines through the storm
I found a source
That quenches these thirst of mine

Living in a world
And going against it's flow
For a treasure that's in a field
That's too worthy to be even be compared with the world
Broken hearted people
Each with their pain and suffering
Finding their comfort and joy
Everlastingly in the arms of the Uncreated

But what had God shown to me...
People who do not know the treasure...
People who are missing out so much...
People who do not know that love...

SO what about you?
When your heart has ceased to beat
What will your eyes see?
When you come before the Throne
What will your words be?

3 Mins

Just A Short one.. i only have 3 mins.. I've not been blogging lately cause there are just too many things happening.. so I'll try to keep up with my blogging the best i can..

When you see the word "LOVE", what do you think of? I've been thinking where did Love came from.. And what i always hear is I love you cause you love me first.. somehow or someway.. i think Love comes from Love.. and God is love..

When I stop looking at myself, I see alot of people hurting and crying and lost in this world.. My heart breaks each time i look back at my selfish self.. So let us Love.. with the Love that God gave us..
