It all begins with you --> part 1

Again I was reminded from last Saturday live @ 5 services that what we do today and what we decide to do or act today determine our future. In Deuteronomy 8: 7-9 & 1, it is not about the vision from God or about whether God can do it or not, but it is about the step that is taken from the vision. You see, God gave each person a different vision & mission that needs to be completed, but the outcome depends on the respond and what action that took place.

Do you remember about this verse: “what you soar is what you reap?” I bet this sounds familiar to everyone who know and or read the bible hehehe.. Any way there’s a verse about that… It is important for us to know what kind of seeds we planted and how we water it. It all begins with our attitudes toward situations and people surround us. Are we giving a good example? Are we holding on to what we believe is true according to God’s commandments? When we are able to identify this, we will be able to go to the next level. However, going to the next level is not as easy as flipping your hand. It takes preparation and it better be good.
It is important for us to stay focus. What does it mean by focus? Well, literally you probably know about it, but there is more to that. FOCUS also means offering up our life to Jesus. Offering means give a full authority to God to take control in our lives, in any circumstances in life, including relationships, family, financial, study, work, etc. When you love someone or when you actually hate someone, you can over that person or people to God. Offering does not mean you want God to take away that person from your life (a.k.a ask him/her / them to die hehe), but it simply means to surrender that person/people in God’s hand and believe in Him that He will take care of it ☺.

And this is the sentences that strike me most:
“You have to start to do something that you don’t like to do; it begins with the small-small things in life”

I thought to myself, wow that is so true. Most of the time I only do what I want to do, what I like to do and what I’m comfortable to do. Most of the time I reach out to my close friends and not to my friends that I know she’s in need. Reason being because I was too tired to go up to the 13th floor and just have a short conversation or even go to another block just to be their friends (such excuses!). I guess I’m already in my comfort zone. Having to take care 4 children is tiring enough...adding another 2?
But then this message really waking me up. I realize that I needed to take action and starts to enlarge my “family” in Millennium where I stay. I realize I needed to start giving responsibility to my eldest & second daughter, Maureen & Hester to start to seeds, and I myself have to over up my tiredness to the Lord and ask for strength and wisdom to lead more people to God. I was reminded to be more responsible, to overcome my flesh and get out from the comfort zone.

So in conclusion
1. It is important to have the seeds in our hands and to know what God want us to do in our life. To realize what kinda seeds you have.. Atttitude, dude…that’s what count…
2. In between seeding and harvest there’s watering time. How can the seed grow is you don’t water it. This is about how you gonnna soar? Again God is after our attitudes & character.
3. You gotta plant more seeds & meet more needs. Expect more of God’s work. Don’t just stop anywhere. Acts 20:35

IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOU…
