29/1/11-Some thoughts about daily life

God isn't looking at giving you a fool proof long term plan
He's calling you to walk with him on a day to day basis-meditating on his word, obeying him and being open to his leading.
There are bends along the road-but those are the ones He uses to guide you along his path for your life-
They are opportunities for growth.
He uses every single incident to bring you to the place He wants you to be
Only trust and obey Him-daily
Study his word-day and night-meditate on it and obey it
Walk out all and with your head held up high-you are a child of God-walk in faith
You can do all things because Christ strengthens you
Practice self denial
Work hard -coz work is God's plan for your life
Fast and pray-it is necessary
Lose time from daily life-sleep, friends, pleasures- to study the word of God
God the extra mile for God-He loves it when you do
He sees your sorrow and He promises to restore your fortunes
Is He a God to be doubted-Is He not able t o do just as He has said He would do?
How do you bear fruit if there are no adverse circumstances?
How do you bear joy if there are no adverse circumstances?

Jer 1:18-19

Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land- against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land.
They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you, declares the LORD.

Challenge

You want to do big things yet you do not want to start small or well- you do not want to be faithful in small things- who will give you big things to do
You sit here and think you are depressed
Are you so ungrateful taht you do not appreciate all that God has given you?
Do not rob God-He has invested in you and must reap your fruit.
What account of yourself are you going to give God when He calls you?
Do you think it was just your own choice that you stayed on campus?
Come out and let the glory of God in you shine out
Why do you delight in grieving God and his Spirit?
You must speak the word of God
You seek happiness-find it in God

I have placed you here as a light, a torch, a servant, a prophet, a role model.
Do you want mey people to perish because of you? Because you did not speak? Did not do? Did not live?
Come to me-I am THE LORD, the Almighty
What can I not do?
Come to me and surrender all you are and all you have
Come and surrender all to me

Quotes

You can mention the name of Jesus and there'd be no power attached-It's all about a relationship.

My children do not proclaim my message-they are only concerned with asking for favours from me. Even when it's proclaimed, it is diluted

There's too much activity-give me room to operate
How can you ask me to do something new in your life when your hearts are so hardened to my word?
How long will you cry out to me yet refuse to obey my word.
What more must I tell you
Are you so hard of hearing?
The only gods you worship are yourselves and not me.
You are trying too hard and all is not working because you have not surrendered to me-surrender to me and walk in my ways-in obedience that you may be renewed and the church as well
Open the door of your hearts and of your group that I may come in to reign-You cannot worship me and serve your own gods

Even now return unto me your first love with weeping and mourning.
I have longed for you.
I have drawn you with loving kindness and loved you with an everlasting love.
Come to me and find rest.
Come and obey that you may eat the best of the land
Come and I will show you great and unsearchable things you know not.
Come and see the new thing I am doing.
Come and let me shower you with my love.
Can you not see how I long for you?
My heart weeps and longs for you.
I made you for myself- why do you rob me by chasing after gods?

Woe to you who do not weep about the ruin of my body but are instead busy with your studies, families and boyfriends
Repent lest my wrath come upon you also
Have you forgotten so soon-
your tears, your prayers and all that you used to do for me?
Is your love so fickle?
Do not make me repent of blessing you with your heart's desires.
Why should you not care about the ruin of my house?
I tolerate no other lovers-stop chasing after those gods- they bring no satisfaction.
I am the only one who satisfies.

You have spoken about me superficially but neglected my true life transforming power.
Your sacrifices are an abomination to me.
I detest your songs, your hypocrisy and your frivolity.
How long will it take you to turn to me, repent and be forgiven?
How long must I wait while you chase your own gods?
Beware lest my wrath come upon you suddenly.
Have you no fear of God?
Let righteousness roll down like a stream; let justice, mercy and peace reign in your hearts.
How can you serve me Sundays and go back to your old ways during the week?
I tolerate no rivals-I want all of you.
Weep for your sins and those of your fathers.
Weep; Perhaps I may relent and not down my wrath.
How can you not see that all is not well?
Are you so hardhearted and hard of hearing?
Have none of my words penerated your heart?
The punishment will be worse for those who know but did nothing-beware
