Serving Man, serving God

Who ever says that life is a bed of roses once you become a christian? That person deserves a thousand spanks and probably even ............anyway, its never easy to live a life without any trials and tribulations. Didnt the bible, even Jesus himself, tell us that once you become a christian, be prepared for trials & tribulations are on its way?



Well, so why are you so surprised now that you are faced with tribulations? Remember, the moment you make a decision to get serious, asking God to enlarge your capacity, to enlarge your tent, strengthen your cords and expand your territory, there is only one thing for sure....THE DEVIL IS PROVOKED! Oh come on, its does not take a genius to understand that isn't it? The devil would never want another strong christian to be risen up and be a threat to his kingdom.



But yet, we should know one thing. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and a sound mind. Who ever says you cant conquer the devil? All the more, STAND UP AND FIGHT THE DEVIL. I have learnt the lesson. No one can fight the battle for you except God. And no one has the obligations to fight the battle for you unless you take the first step , take up the weapon and all you need is to place your faith in God to fight on your behalf.



I feel tired, so tired, so tired at times when the devil challenges me to another battle. I ask myself, why do i have to go through such battles? Is it worthwhile for me to go through the pain, the pain of being accused, the pain of being misunderstood, the pain of aloneness, the pain of not knowing what is the next step that you should take. But I like what brother isaiah shared with me. At the end of the path is always the light. But if you choose to stop where you are right now, you will never see the light. But if you pick yourself up, continue to walk and persevere, God promises that there will be light.



Yes, its time to stand up and continue walking. I will walk, cos I will not give in to the devil. Never will i allow him to come and destroy my life, cos I knew that there is a greater purpose to what I am going through right now. Jehovah God, thank you for giving me the strength, cos I truly understand that whatever that i am doing, I do not and need not please man, but pleasing you makes me happy and thats enuff!



"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom". Oh Yes, Lord, Abba God, I want more wisdom, I want to love you more, I want to have the fear of the Lord, I want to know your heart!" That is my prayer today!
