VALUES! (Penny for a thought)
haven't been blogging here for quite awhile..
but hope this will bless you all...
=)
the surrounding will change...
circumstances will change...
a person's character will change through time...
according to the times and seasons...
we often hear about "Change is the only constant in life"...
but yet there are somethings that will not change...
VALUES...
where you are positioned...
everything you do...
how you react to a situation, circumstances or problems...
is very very closely related to what are your values...
what are the things you cherish...
and these values WILL determine how you view a situation...
and bring about a reaction that might change the situation...
in life...
we always talk about priorities etc...
our priorities ARE SET by the different VALUES we place on the different things in life...
are you will to pay the price for the word of God...
if today...
you are to be put behind bars if you admit you are a christian...
or holds a bible...
what are your values? your stand?
bring it closer to life...
take for example the business breakthrough dinner with Dr. Rev. A.R Bernald...
you may not have ABUNDANCE at that moment...
but will you say that you are willing to even go without food..
eat home more for that few weeks...
just so that you can attend the session and recieve an impartation...
if today...
all you have is a few $10 dollars for the next whole month and God ask you to sow them all into the building fund...
will you choose to obey the voice of God...
or to look at the circumstances...
let's bring it closer to life...
building fund is coming...
if all you have after paying all your monthly bills etc...
is let's say $200-$300...
and maybe God speak to you...
to give $200...
which means you will not have much to spend..
eat home more...
no more cabs...
late night movies...
no more supper...
no more chilling out...
no more shopping...
will you put your trust in Him...
our God of MORE THAN ENOUGH?
or talk yourself out of it..
saying that it cannot be God...
let me tell you...
i SERIOUSLY don't think the devil will tell you to give more to build God a house...
and it is only the devil that will talk you out of giving...
if today...
you know that Jesus is coming back tomorrow...
what will you be busy doing?
praying for yourself to go heaven..?
reading the bible as much as you can and try to be spiritual..?
repenting of all your much accumulated rebellious sin hoping God will overlook them..?
let's bring it closer to life...
we are ALREADY now living in borrowed time...
Jesus is delaying His coming back...
and what we are you doing everyday..?
busy with every other things exceept the reason why He is delaying His coming back..?
or will you be urgent in spreading the love of Christ...?
touching lives...?
will you just be overly concern with the 99 you have...?
or will you be like Jesus, to seek for the 1 which was lost..?
take tme to think through...
reflect on what you would be doing...
because your actions are determined by your VALUES...
So what are the VALUES you have in your life...?
maybe you are can take some time...
reflect through and share with one another waht are some values in your life...
so that yo all can help each other to grow too..
love all of you...
=)
