Fufilling the God-dream in you
Totally Depressed
secret place
Came across this article at guitar4christ, find tat it quite inspiring.. therefore decided to share with all my dear readers.. hope tat u all will enjoy it and make an committment toward the Lord.. let us cling on to God and the seed tat He had planted in us..
"Where there is no vision, the people perish..." Proverbs 29:18a
This verse has been one that puts fundamental Christians off from time to time. Why would God associate this verse just before this:-
"but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."
Proverbs 29:18b
I believe that there is a reason that God puts it there. Vision is a seed that God puts into the hearts of believers. It can be of a certain ministry that God wants you to join or a certain group people that God wants you to evangelise to.
Notice that the bible did not say:- "but he who has vision, happy is he." It is not so much the vision that brings out God's plans for his children but it is when his children decides to fufill that God-planted seed in them that they are truly blessed.
It is not merely having that vision but doing and carrying it to completion. Moses did not stop at the point where he had the vision (burning bush) that God would save the Israelites but begin to travel back to Egypt and see that vision coming to pass.
I feel that there are 4 things that one must acquire in order to fufill this God-dream in him.
No. 1 : Faith
"Without faith, it is impossible to please God."
Indeed, we must have faith. Along the path to fufilling this God-dream, we will face alot of opposition from the Evil One and also from the world. It is not easy to walk this path. With men it is impossible but with God, all things are possible." Have faith in God cos faith like the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.
No. 2: Perseverance
"Let us run this race with perseverance..."
Don't give up. No matter how heard the goings, God will always be there for you. Fix your eyes on Jesus and the goal ahead. When you have finished the race, God will present you with the crown of Life.
No 3: Pray without ceasing
When you work, u work. When God works, He works. Commit your vision to God for He is the one who has planted. He is the garderner. Pray whenever and wherever u can. God hears!
No. 4: Keeping God's laws
That's the very reason God put the verse about vision with the one about keeping his laws. before you can fufill ur God dream, obey his laws! Hide it like David so that you will not sin against Him. When u do what is right and please God, I can tell you for sure, the heavens will open and God will just pour out His plans and purposes into your life for you have took the effort to keep his commandments. Do small things before you can be allowed to do the big things.
Have the joy of the Lord to be your strength!

after my paper, mani thoughts keep rushing into my mind.. had i not studi enough or wat? what have i been doing all this while? wat is wrong with mi? during power house, this is the first time tat i couldn't enter into God's presence.. there somethings deep down in my heart tat bother mi so much tat i couldn't even focus myself on Him..
Do hope tat i can somehow get over it or wat.. if this was to carry on, i realli had no ideas wat to do.. i had been crying 4 far too long le.. it time i pack up my feelings and set aside all this distraction.. i can't allow this to carry on anymore..
oh ya, i simply love bible studi.. realli learnt alot in the words of God.. perhaps the words of God could help mi to set my mind back on the right track.. i can't allow my mind to go on wandering around.. must get it back and focus on my coming exam le..
