Anybody out there? Was thinking today while at church as to the motive I have in writing here in this blog. For all I care, no one may be reading it. I think when I started, I had wanted to add taste and flavour to whoever cares to visit... on further examination I believe that there exist a need for me to write regardless if anyone out there is reading. As I write down my thoughts, my unhappiness, my experiences, my ups' and downs, I am really talking to myself, discovering a little bit more about myself. Evaluating my performance in the short time I have on this stage of life.
There is a slight hint of fear on my part if I had inadvently hurt or offended someone. Well, if I had then I must 'pohon' your ampun. You may find my 'garam' too salty or my 'Pepper' too panas for your liking but seriously if at all there is offence, it is not intended, at least not in the wrong spirit.
Had a good time worshipping the Lord today. For the first time in many months, tears just roll down my cheeks while I stood before my creator. I am grateful he did not give up on me... while I wander around the desert, still undecided if I want to enter into the promise land. I now realise that the notion that once save forever save does not hold true. There is a battle going on for our souls from the day we perform the sinners prayer. We are subjected to various forms of attack from the enemy and often we retreat defeated from the battle ground. However I believe we ought to continue to put up a good fight, so long as we fight on we are assured of ultimate victory as Jesus has already remove the sting of death when he gave up his life on the cross. The war has been won and a few battles remains, while minor, could still claim casualties we must not allow ourselves to drop our guards and let the enemy drag us to hell. Pardon the language... I truly believe in the last days many believers will be rendered so weak that they can't even resist anymore. Having only a form of godliness but totally devoid of any power.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
2 Timothy 1-5
My meditation tonight is this, we had been called to remind one another, encouraging and even to warn one another even as we see the day approaching, like a watchman we must act in love, failing which many of our love ones will surely fall as the devil is vile and cunning, he comes like an angel of light, difficult to resist as he looks beautiful, he is also described as a thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy.. he certainly would not announce his coming. I encourage you to seek to enter God's rest, there you find him, there you find relief, there you find his word, sharper than any double-edged sword, the lamp, the light to dispel works of darkness.
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.
Hebrews 4:11
I would encourage all to read the book of Hebrews this week. Have a good week ahead!
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1
You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.
Galations 5:7, 8
