just. some things=)

share some things i've learnt on sunday when i listened to the podcast on Abraham and Joseph on Promises and Hope by pastor wayne.

PS: i really enjoy listening to their podcasts! hahaha!

anyway.. there was alot of which in the podcast that struck me. but one ultimate strike by God's word was this.

God's promises are always there for us to claim, but if u notice God's promises definitely requires some effort given from man. its always when you do this, God will bless you with this. as long as you do this, God will bless you with wad you do etc.

Galatians 6:9
Let's not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

IF only we do not give up, then will we be able to reap the harvest that God has promised us! the fruits that God promises us when we do His work.

so sometimes we cling onto God's promises alot which is good! but however, somehow here and der we complain of how God's promises are not coming to past yet. without knowing that we have not fulfilled the human part in God's promise! if you give up halfway, hw will God be able to let you reap the harvest that you are supposed to get from God!

and many other verses as well, such as..
Phil 4:13 i can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
only when you do things with God as your source of strength and reliance THEN will you be able to do all things !

so yeah God's promises are real and is forever there for us to claim! so we need to fulfill OUR part of the promise so God's part of the promise can kick in into our lives!




and today i listened to Noah: The man who believed God
this sermon is about obedience! obedience to God, His Word and what He calls us to do.

Agreeing VS Obeying
agreeing with God is doing the things that God calls us to do that we DON'T mind doing because its convenient for us
but obeying God is doing the things that God calls us to do that we MIND doing because its nt convenient

obedience is sooo important because this is the only way by which God is able to teach us on how to live life to the maximum and to the very full! making thoughts obedient to God's ways and many other ways! basically a whole life that is obedient to God in every possible way! heh yeah. listen to this podcast to find out more=)




lastly today we went to church office to listen to sermon tapes! a whole series of virtual speaking church! really a great time listening to it though the points were being gone thru super quickly tt we have to pause the tape for quite a few times to catch up hhahahaha. and.... we had a super great time being entertained!
well.. now we are equipped with the skills of.. saying what other ppl says is nonsense, gossip, mockery, slander hahaha. (nw tts nonsense LOL!)

senseless talk / nonsense = any talk that does not advance / extend the KOG in any way. even saying Hi to new people can be better compared to talking nonsense! well tts basically what i've been learning haha!

PS: i started typing this post at 10pm+ and its 2am nw haha! i fell aslp and woke up again=x

but once again im really inspired to apply what i've learnt mainly of holding my thoughts captives and making it obedient to Christ and nt just plain holding on of God's promise but fulfilling the human part of it that i need to fulfill. nites everyone! (daily qt is important! random haha! =D)
