King and Kingdom

Quoting from Darkseid ( a super-villain character from DC universe, one of Superman's arc enemy).

"What good is a king, when there is no kingdom?"

Just to give you a little information about Darkseid. As a super-villain, of course, he is all power hungry. He want to rule the world, control the universe and have everyone under slavery. That is the bad guy point of view.

Now let's take that quote and maybe use another point of view to analyse it.

King Jesus.

The Kingdom of Heaven.

I want to make this entry a reminder that a Christians life do not just revolve around going to church, serving actively in church, doing a lot of Bible study, reading up and gaining up on the knowledge of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. A Christian's life should not be so individualistic. All about MY knowledge of God, MY experience with God, MY relationship with God. Do you remember the Great commission? This is exactly what I am referring to. What is the purpose of getting to know God, (know so much for what????). Know so much so that we are able to spread the word. Our Biblical knowledge is not for own application only. It's for us to tell the world about Jesus. A lot of Christians nowadays just live "Christian Life" by behaving and following "Christian teachings". They kept on equipping themselves but did not use those equipments. It is like wearing layers and layers of armour without going to war.

"Yes we can see that you are a soldier with so many military gadgets on you, but why are you not fighting the war? "

"I thought being a soldier means learning all about the weapons and vehicles, go for dry practices, know how to wear and use those gadgets. But we are not required to actually use them, right?"

Well...

"Yes, we can see that you look like a Christian, saying all the graces before meals, going the extra mile tohelp the others, always quoting Biblical verses to support your decision. But why aren't you spreading the gospel to me?"

"I thought that being a Christian means that we have to do Bible study, be a very righteous person, be Holy Holy, know and live like a very good person and following the Bible. I do not really have to literally talk everybody around me to be a Christian, right?

A lot of of Christian do forget about the importance of the Great Commission . That included me. Very often, I thought that by attending Bible Study and serving in Church means that I've done my part living out the Christian Life.You know that part where they say about your relationship with God being very close and all, and em, living and acting like a Christian. I used to place too much emphasis on how to gear up myself to behave like a Christian, and using the excuse of "living-walking-testimony" and not talk to my peers about God and Jesus in my life. And assumed that what people see of me is "oh, he is such a good person because he is a Christian, Then I want to be a Christian too." We got to start out by using out mouth to tell them about God and Jesus.

So, dear people out there. If there is no such action of spreading done by you, this Kingdom will remain this radius. What good is Jesus's death when not all of the people receive the salvation? We ought to spread the word, the Great Commission, with God's grace, Jesus do not die in vain.

主我跟祢走





主我跟祢走, 往普天下走,
天涯海角紧紧抓住我。
主我跟祢走, 往普天下走,
死阴幽谷紧紧跟你走。

因祢是万王之王,万主之主,
有祢一同走, 我还怕什么?
因祢已战胜死亡, 得胜君王,
这信心的路我永不回头。

开啟我的眼,信心的双眼,
看那天使天军在身边。
塑造我的心,谦卑地聆听,
祢地话语深植在我心

因祢是万王之王,万主之主,
有祢一同走, 我还怕什么?
因祢已战胜死亡, 得胜君王,
这信心的路我永不回头!

Overdrive

My stomach has not been feeling quite good since the night of the Day1 of Chinese New Year. I couldn't really fall asleep despite I was on my bed since 10. It was not until 1plus that I finally turn in. The second night was worse. I just felt like as if I'm the character on TV that you saw just got hit by a strong bully; almost knocking the sense out of him. I thought I could pass out, but God put me into overdrive mode. I just snap right out of it and remain standing upright, then I walked to my bathroom for my shower.

I've been thinking, I've never fainted before. And whenever I fell sick, I still could do a lot of daily activities. I still could hang on to my consciousness and thoughts. I could think properly, I could talk. I just felt not good during my sick times. It's either my body has not reached it's limit such that it will pass out, or that it has already overshot the limit, but God put me on overdrive mode, so that I can do things with his help. Such as talking to my family, do a little work catching up on revisions.

I think so.

Anyway, I'm trying to learn this song.
It's the first part of the "Worship Medley" on the right hand panel.

Night Light That God Created


The Moon is there as a reminder that there is a Sun. The Light that God put up in the sky which shines during daytime is present even in the darkness of the night.

Shine.

Let's shine, and lift up that bowl; why do you put the light under the bowl in the first place? Find a stand and start giving out light to the others!
