This is our great God

I would like to apologize to all my readers that I've not been updating my blog. Anyway I would like to Thank God for sending different people and different prayers in my life that touches my life and help me to continue to move on in his ministry that I'm in. Specially those youth who care and love me, for who I am and what I have in my life. And not to forget those who already left for further studies and supervisors and pastors and leaders of my church. Thanks you and I appreciated it.

Recently my life have been changed after half a year struggling. Although most of our life we are covered by lots of dark smoke which cause us blind, disappointed, being judge, being rejected, unable to trust, unable to love, hurts, insecurity about our future,uncertainty about our love relationship.

Well, I would like to share my testimony that I've been through recently. This is how I felt about what I've mention above. My life is in chaos, I have not consistently building a good relationship with God. What a shameful answer for those who would like to question my daily devotion as an example of a supervisor, leader and church staff.

I've been continue striking and fall and run away and heart harden from this relationship with God. Even though my body is in the church mostly everyday but my heart is far away from God. What is the meaning of continue to stay as a church worker? What I'm doing here? Why I want to trouble my life.

One day a friend also a leader of mine, pass me a copied of book entitled "Power of Praise" this is how I started seeing God change the way I think after reading it and allow me to be test and continue to move me forward naturally. God help me to overcome this struggle through this book, through continue helping people, continue going to young adult cell group and continue to serve, continue to build relationship with others and being prayed and minister by intercessors during last Saturday night Service. God used me and spoke to me. I want to Praise Him and He is indeed Good to me and every human being.

I'm thinking We as a supervisor, leader, church worker and missionary, how much effort we have place upon those who we need to nurture, we need to follow up, and love. How many ways we've tried a to help them or we've cried over night and day when we would not know what to do, so that they can experience our Great God. I've try many ways to find answer and to asking question and counseling and meet people for just to have close relationship with my God. But being a christian for 16 years. I still don know how to solve this problem which hidden me for so long. And I believe is not just my problem, in fact most of the christian face this situation as well.

Finally I've found the answer for myself, the reason why I've failed. It's because I do not know who my God is. When bad things happen what is my first respond? I will use my own understanding to deal with the situation, or I will panic and just ask God why this happen, or I will just ask people around me to solve the problem or share with Friends but not Praising God and Praying to Him and I might not know Who my God is. Just like you know Michael Jackson but you don't really know him personally.

I'm a lazy and proud christian, not that I've show my laziness in work or not being responsible or tying to show off my stuff or being proud when I've success. But in fact this apply to my trust and honor and allow God to intervene in my life.

So from this book it filled with testimony, people that praised God finds healing and ministered and the reason why we should praise God. After I've read this Book, I apply it in my life. When bad things happen, such as having judgmental or conflict with my college, which is a negative ways of seeing this person. I started to praise God for placing this person in my life, I thank God for this person's good personalities, and I give thanks for placing this person to bless others and ask God to continue to bless this person more and ask God to use this person mightily.

Of course God will look into our heart and see is this what you really mean? Well this is what I've been reflect the child's faith in the Bible. Children are pure and narrow minded. So I've learned to be a child, I don think about the person's weakness or what the person have done or the history or whatsoever that stop me praise God. And I just praise God sincerely for the good side of this person and I really mean what I've prayed. Then what happen is the next day, this person suddenly share that their problem have been solved and they're so blessed to see what God has done in their life. And I'm happy because of their Joy. Even though I didnt specify or mention what are the problems I want God to change in this person's life. But God already know how to move according to His own ways. So the more I praise God for the person with prayers. The more I know God. The more I recognize God's character. Not just knowing God from the bible but I've experience His Greatness and Lordship.

Well I guess, This is what I wanted to share. Life is a choice. I've make a choice to allow God to clean my mess and also remind myself to walk with God. Not faster than Him or slower than Him but just walk beside Him and see what is my God trying to do. And recently I see God in me and He is here with me. Praise God and Glory to God.

So I want to encourage brother and sister in Christ. Try and change our attitude towards our relationship with God. and make sure we have the consistency of praising Him listen to worship songs that encourage use to draw near to God and watch testimony and others christian materials that you are comfortable with. Surely we able to see our life changed.

Here is a good song plus preaching from Pastor Jaeson Ma. The album "LOVE" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73kZ6wBoqTk I hope this song may stir your hearts to God's love.

God Bless.
