Yesterday Pastor Bill Wilson changed my life again.
I guess this is the season for sure. God is reassuring me it is time to launch to my call. Kinda nervous, yet feeling that every step of the way, I have God. Whom should I fear? What should I be afraid of?
Pastor Bill Wilson is the living testimony of how being in the dangerous streets of New York City, yet he still survived and doing well now.
Yesterday marks the defining moment yet again. To rededicate and position myself for the call. Pastor Bill was right. The 700 did not leave, did not get offended or gave up when their right hands no longer serve them well. Instead, they trained themselves hard, so much so that they can use their left hands much much more better than when they had their right hands.
All because they knew how important it was to be in the significant battle, they positioned themselves and prepared themselves, because they wanted to be in it. It is a privilege. Pastor Bill is right. We shouldn't be a sissy generation of Christian. We should position ourselves. We either stay or leave. God is not hard up for anything. We should see it as our privilege to be able to be in the battle for the Kingdom of God.
So, here goes....I am in this for life.
Shirley shared something really precious with me after the whole thing. And I think it is really significant for us to understand this. We only have one life to live. Don't invest on people who will not position themselves for God to come and use them. Yes we still love them, but we must not shortchange our energy and the people who are readily positioning themselves for the works of the Kingdom of God. In other words, how our lives should be from now on, is neither in the devil's hand or God's hand. It is in our hands. Our CHOICE.
I hope to live a life fully lived. Carvings all the way up to the top of my staff. Leaving a legacy for the generation after. This is the least I could do for God. For all that He has done for me. I hope I am determined enough.
Laying down our lives is not easy.
I am beginning to pick up the habit of writing journals and blogs again. Shirley gave me a revelation yesterday. In modern days, our carvings and markings on the staff...could be our journals and our blogs. Things that we can read back and see how faithful God has been in our lives.
Gonna pick up this habit again. The best is yet to come. Settle for nothing less than that.
