I was in my office, have nothing to do but to wait for call. I sat on my desk, trying Facebooking but seems like not much can do. So i decide to watch video posted in Youtube. Straight away come across my mine to watch preaching video from Joyce Meyer. I click and listen to two videos. This is the synopsis of both videos.
Joyce Meyer mention that, the biggest mistake we make is when we always look at our weakness. When we always look at our mistake, we tend to did not appreciate who we are, knows the best out of us, and thus hate our self. This is what it's meant by loving others as we love our self. We can't love others if we can't love our self. We hate others when we also didn't love our self. That is God greatest second command, to love others ad we LOVE OUR SELF. People always try and struggle to achieve something or becoming like someone, doing what others capable of. But never tend to do what we can do, what we capable at, and most of all let GOD mold us! This is real life! Real life not what people see us, what and how we live, or what people say about us. Real life is what real thing happen or going on in us! Our struggle is our real life! Joyce Meyer suggesting that, STOP COMPLAINING our self. Pray and love our self. God will transform us and made us individually unique!! Not as the other person is, but OURSELF! Special one, capable in our own capabilities! So love our self!
Second video is about FAITH. Again what an interesting topic. Faith is believing in things that unseen. For instance, we did not see Sunday, but we believe there is Sunday. We wait for Sunday, prepare, most of all EXCITED about Sunday! When people organize something and tell us about it, we are so excited! We prepare, we yet talk about the event! BUT yet, we did not see the event! When come about God, we tend to hardly believe. We did not excited, yet we begging. We did not prepare about it, yet we worry. BUT He is God! He is man of His word! If we can trust there is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and if we trust in person's word that there gonna be big event or special one; why not TRUSTING God too!! The One who create us and know the best for us?
In God, we should expect HIM! Meaning, we look and long for God!
Faith is an active mode, not passive mode. Faith have to be released. Faith needs action, that's why in the Bible mention, faith without action is dead! Employ our AFFORD in exercising faith! BUT HOW to release Faith?
The minute we encounter or have problem, go to God! Pray, Seek God! But also remember, while exercising Faith don't forget about love! It have to come together with love (Gal 5:6).
In ministry, or in doing God's business, attitude also plays important role. That is why we see many people, easily break down, tired and event few days or months after that, can't be located! This is due to attitude too. Why attitude? There is Hope, Faith, Love and Joy. The word of God says, the Joy of the Lord is my strength! This strength we're talking is physical strength! Those who wait upon the Lord, delight in the Lord shall renew their strength. This happen when we have not enough joy of God in doing our ministry for God! We tend to force our self, tend to push our self doing it. Wait upon the Lord and delight in Him simply made us receive a Joy of the Lord! We will receive that joy! In Psalm mention that He is our Joy, He is our Strength! When we delight in Him, we will receive Himself. We will have Joy and Strength to control our life, for He is that Joy and strength!
This i encounter it personally. This year is totally a pack year for me. I have so many preparations to be made and involve in so many events that need commitment and involvement. But when i do it with joy, i start to love it. I start to enjoy it. When i'm driving, i pray about it. When i think of it, i pray about it. Pray for all events i involve in. When i lean and focus to Him, I totally renew my strength! Doing this is not only about what we capable or experience in, but also to experience new thing in God! But to lean on God, depend to God and have FAITH only in Him! Our attitude have to be right also.
Thanks and GBU!
