How can one be fit to stand in the house of God saying his life is better than many people when he condemns others?
How can one go around telling others he serve a great and mighty god when he does not follow his master's instructions?
Yes we have all fallen short of God's perfect standard. Isn't it about time we ask ourselves if we have taken salvation for granted?
Haven't done this in a long time.. well... Read if you want, its wordy.
Mark 13 (signs of the end of age)
1And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
8For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
21And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
The day and hour unknown
32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
1)Have a sense of urgency (v10, v32-37)
Guess its simple? From v 10 it tells us that the gospel MUST be preached to all nations. Note that Jesus used the word "must" not "try to" or "do your best to". If we claim we are Christ's followers, that we acknowledge and pledged to love him as our one and only true saviour, think about it. How much effort have we actually put in to spread and preach the gospel?
The day and the hour is unknown and many of these signs Jesus has warned us of are already happening. Urgency guys?
Well God probably did not tell us when is the end of age to test our urgency.. Pass or fail? Your choice.
2)Build strong disciples (v13)
13And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
He who endures to the end shall be saved. When Satan finally takes over the earth, who with weak faith will continue to trust in God? Many are bound to fall away, and hence spend an eternity in hell. We cannot just expand without preaching and spending much effort on every individual.
3)Have Faith (v24-v31)
God have promised us that even if such disaster can fall upon the earth, his words will never pass away. God's promises never fails. It comes down to how strong our faith in him is? Will we persevere to the end, or will our wavering faith fail halfway and hence cause us an eternity in a place we don't want to be in? Now is the best time to build up our faith in him and put our trust in him. Allow him to be part of the picture in every picture we paint. Allow god to complete our masterpiece, evey puzzle. For God is the answer to all questions, and the one and only true way to heaven. It all comes down to this question, "do we trust god enough?"
with just one flash of light
Break the silence with just one word
One defiance starts a revolution
One life can save the world
On the steps of Washington
Sprinkled like confetti
Thousands of people sing
"we will overcome"
The preacher shouts:"Let freedom ring"
He gave his life for what he believed
You can be a withness
You can be a prophet
You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress
change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge where
foes can meet
Hope for the future
Shout it, don't whisper
Dreams are what we make them to be
There's hope in every heartbeat
Tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed
She's a pastor's daughter
She's only 16
But her heart and belly
are beaking at the seams
Her boyfriend blames her
He wants to pay
for the doctor to wash it away
She lays in the hospital
A Christmas choir is singing
About a child in a manger
fragile and small"
unto us is born a Saviour
"She looks at her baby and cries
as she sings him a lullaby
You can be a withness
You can be a prophet
You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress
change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge wherefoes can meet
Hope for the future
Shout it, don't whisper
Dreams are what we make them to be
There's hope in every heartbeat
Tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed
Every hope, every power
lies in the heart if a seed that flowers
Intertwined all across the land
we're all seeds in the maker's hands
Well, what can i say? Nice song.
"Talk to you is a waste of time"
Next day,
"Sup"
Argument continues with him starting it with a few insults and his impressive vulgarity skills
"I shan't talk to you since its a waste of time"
Next day,
"Sup"
Argument continues again with him doing the same old things which don't even affect my life. Why should someone so lowly even be fit to talk to me? Be glad your god's creation, kids. Hurt, not at all.
Stop calling yourself a child of God when you display such disgusting language and behavior. It disgusts non-believers and pollute them about their views on christianity.
"I don't have to talk nicely to b****** like you."
Sure you dont have to but you ought to as a christ ambasador.
"Love your neighbour as yourself"
This is part of basic christianity, isnt it people?
"ugly ****"
Sure so what if im ugly? If i am, someone is worse. Only morons think they are annoited by God to insult other children of God.
oh and sacarsm. Btw kid, no insults or such pitiful things you do work on me. If god says im perfect in his eyes, i am. If God says not to listen to unkind words coming out from another person, so be it. Yes there are a thousand and one things in my life to change right now, but who are you to judge me? Im better off as i am changing one part of me every day every week, thinking of moving ahead than people who cant even change after moving on to a new environment. As useless as ever, never moving on, always looking at things as it was in the past.
Such christianity is not an option. Say no to stupidity!
Hey we never lost till the last match.. Bah it was stupid
Isaac's team:
YK

Joshua Wong
Ian (my bro)
Oh well glad we made it that far. Good job guys... Though we lost by a little and the last match was handicaped since we did not have rest, we did well ^^.
Though we were like dying, we defended like our lives depended on it. Or though there were a few... Shant say but heh to all the 6, good job!
Was pretty angry since we fought the third best team and the best team consecutively and at least we emerged second without cheating. It was pure skill,peseverence and teamwork that got us so far. Hey lets win the next one!
"And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you, but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him"
Introduction: God has anointed you so that you may be equipped for every good work: to resist evil, to know the truth, to preach the Word, to be able to pray, to have fellowship with God.
1)You are anointed of God.
Have you ever considered yourself to be an anointed Christian?
Maybe you’ve thought that only certain people in ministry are anointed?
Maybe you’ve only considered that the O.T. prophets and the N.T. apostles were the only ones anointed and that you are not.
No matter what you have or haven’t thought about the anointing of God, if you are a Christian, then you have received an anointing.
Do you know this anointing is? Do you know what it means to be anointed?
According to Webster’s Dictionary, to anoint means to "rub oil or ointment on," "to put oil on in a ceremony of consecration." So, to anoint something or someone is to apply something, in this case oil, to an object.
Maybe you have been anointed with oil in a prayer service, or when someone has prayed over you for healing.
Maybe you’ve even done the anointing.
Then again, perhaps the idea of anointing with oil is foreign to you.
Whatever the case, anointing is found all over the Bible.
Prophets were anointed
1 Kings 19:16 says, "Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet" (NIV)
Priests were anointed
Exodus 40:13, says "Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest" (NIV).
Kings were anointed
1 Samuel 16:3,13 says, "Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate...13So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah," (NIV).
The sick were anointed.
Mark 6:13 "They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them" (NIV).
Objects were anointed
Leviticus 8:10 "Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them," (NIV).
For what purpose were they anointed?
Prophets were anointed to be able to proclaim God’s word.
Priests were anointed to carry out their duties of worship and sacrifice.
Kings were anointed so they could rule.
People were anointed for healing.
Object were anointed so they could be set aside for holy use.
As you can see, anointing is a very biblical concept and a common occurrence.
As I said, anointing occurs for a purpose: for proclaiming, for worship, for sacrifice, for ruling, for healing, and to make something ready for holy use.
In fact, that is why Jesus was anointed, so that He could carry out His ministry.
In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus quoted from Isaiah 61:1-2 and said, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor," (NIV).
Alright, so now you know that anointing is biblical, that it was done for a variety of reasons, and that even Jesus was anointed. You may ask why this is important. It is important because it helps you understand better your need for anointing.
2)1 John 2:27 says that you have received an anointing. You have been anointed, but with what?
For a clue to that, let’s go to Jesus’ baptism in Matt. 3:13_17 "Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" 15Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented. 16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." (NIV)
Have you ever wondered why Jesus was baptized into John’s baptism of repentance?
Some say it was to identify with us; there is much truth in that.
Others say it was to be an example; there is also much truth there, too.
Probably the main reason that Jesus was baptized was because it was at His baptism that He began His ministry and entered into the Melchizedek priesthood so He could become the High Priest and be the Holy Sacrifice.
Amos 3:7 "Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets."
Exodus 29:1,4_7 "This is what you are to do to consecrate them, so they may serve me as priests:... (after offering a blood sacrifice) 4Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water. 5Take the garments and dress Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself and the breast piece. Fasten the ephod on him by its skillfully woven waistband. 6Put the turban on his head and attach the sacred diadem to the turban. 7Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head" (NIV).
Numbers 4:3 "Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work in the Tent of Meeting" (NIV).
So Jesus was probably 30 years old when He began His ministry.
In Jesus’ baptism, He was anointed with the Holy Spirit that descended as a dove. Jesus was washed in baptism and He was anointed with the Spirit of God.
If Jesus needed to be anointed, then so do you.
Jesus said that He would send the Holy Spirit who would teach us all things (John 14:26).
John 14:26, "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
1 John 2:27 "As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit __ just as it has taught you, remain in him."
The anointing you have received, then, is the Holy Spirit.
3)What does this mean, then, that you are anointed with the Holy Spirit?
It means that you are anointed for Christian ministry while you live in this world.
It means that you have been enabled, entrusted, and empowered to accomplish God’s will. In my research about this I found about 40 things you are anointed to do. Ten of them are:
To be able to discern truth - 1 John 2:27.
To testify of the truth - 1 John 5:6 "This is the one who came by water and blood __ Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth."
To be able to pray - Rom. 8:39 "and Ephesians 6:18 which says, "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. . . "
To Live a righteous life - Romans 8:4 "in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit."
To be strengthened with power in your inner being - Ephesians 3:16 "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,"
To be led by God - Romans 8:9 "You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ."
To live in joy - Romans 14:17 "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,"
To live in hope - Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
To receive spiritual gifts - 1 Corinthians 12:4 "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit."
1 Corinthians 12:7 "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."
To bear spiritual fruit - Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
It is this anointing that opens your mind, teaches you, guides you, calls you to pray, empowers you, and enables you to be stronger Christians, more powerful Christians. Not just people who are saved, but people who are saved, indwelt, and empowered.
4)How, then, is this anointing received
The Cross
The Holy Spirit is received by faith in the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross.
Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit would indwell His people.
It is only because of the cross that you have forgiveness of sins, and the privilege of the indwelling Spirit, no only in you, but upon you.
5)Conclusion
You are anointed vessels of God. You have been cleansed by God and been filled with the Holy Spirit.
Not only is He in you but He is upon you.
As the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples at Pentecost in the upper room and anointed them for service, you too have been anointed by God with the Holy Spirit for Christian service.
I have taught you this so that you would learn about your anointing.
Hopefully, with a better understanding of what God has given you in Christ and by the Holy Spirit, you will be better able to live for God, better able to pray to Him, love Him, trust Him, and better able to dwell in hope and joy.

Call this love? Unconditional love of parents? I call this how we love our pets. We keep them in a cage and we feed them whats necesasasary to grow. Their dreams are all bound inside the cage, bound to your will. You want them to do this, they do you wan them to do that, they follow. Unconditional love? I cant even believe what i want and live with it. I have to live with such hate, such discrimination. So what if i believe in christ, so what if i do this? Is it even your choice? Cmon its me, and its my choice not yours. Why do i have to even go through any permission for things i wana do when you dont even have basic respect that i am too human?
"oh i love you so much you shouldnt go out, I scared you kena bite by dog."
Oh that gives them permission to go out then? What sense is there? Im a grown up, I know self defense? Whats her damned problem? Love? Bullshit.
Honour my parents! Honour them! How hard is it? They dont even treat me like a human.
I've lived in more bullshit than you guys have. I experienced loneliness for most of my life and till now you cant see much difference in me. Have I even improved? Man of God? I cant even honour them not that I dont want to, but I cant. I cant stand being used like a dog, taking up every single blame for every single small mistake. I cant stand them staring at my friends thinking that what kind of people would be my friend.
Yes you guys look at me as a monster, as someone you cant depend on, talk to when your down, bored, angry, whatever. Im just a person who just exists and longs so much to be recognized that i truely exist for a reason.

Yet you choose to beon the side of me

Ambassadors of Christ? The children of God degrades themselves over the years. It gets worser and worser as days goes by. Brother against brother, all fighting for the title of "i have been blameless." What's the use of apologizing when someone even insults the creation of christ? If he who claims that Christ is his saviour, no matter how bad someone can be, he is still a creation and any act of discrimination should mean dishonouring God? If we are the only examples of Christ, aren't we supposed to set a good example for others? Look at those people out there, who claim to followers of Christ when they do not even have basic self-control over their speech and emotions, who don't even think before they act? Was God ever in the picture? Yes, for salvation and for forgiveness? Dont you all find that people are taking forgiveness for granted?
For he who insults the creation of God have done it unto that of the holy father himself. Hasn't this been made very clear to evey single believer? What's the point of being a believer, trying to leave a Christian life when you do not even care what the bible deems sinful? We are God's chosen vessels, each vessels have their uniqueness, own specialty. Whats the point of going to another church, cursing and swearing at the person who have been your leader after you gone, knowing that they will not be able to do anything to you? Does that make one happy? Does jumping church, still believing in God but doing such things make one eligible for salvation? Isn't the standards too low? Aren't we all taking this salvation for granted? I may not be even fit to say this, but at least I have been trying and I am blameless for what I have done. If we as God's vessels cannot even work together, what kind of christianity do we get?
Father in heaven,
Help me, Help me, Help me, Help me, Help me, Amen
I got no time to talk to people who cant even speak with the least respect for themselves. People who think higly of themselves but talk foolishly, having in mind that whatever argument they get into, they are never at fault. I apologized for someone insulting me? Does that make sense to you guys? Oh and someone thinks im trying to act pitiful. Im filled with stress nowadays and people just dont get it? I barely promoted to s4 and i need to study, play piano, go meeting. Oh maybe they were right that i should just slack and let someone be the Cl. Im human too? I make mistakes. And again, if you dont like it, do something about it instead of trying to insult me. Thanks kids for entertaining me so much. It just tells me one thing, that you guys have not matured at all.
Who agrees that kids argue like this. "you big fat liar, skinny piece of shit **** **** ****"
And how should someone matured react to this? "ok, alright. Anything else?"
By insulting others it just shows how much you love God. If you treasure the things of God and agrees that every creation is a wonderful masterpiece, nobody would be left out.
A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom, even the kids could understand
The hours passed so quickly, the day turned into night
Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox, at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do, there were thousands to be fed
But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus, the kindness in His smile
And the boy cried out with the trust of a child, he said:
"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it allTo feed them all.
"I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small
And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all
But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands
And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer
So I'll give You every breath that I have
Oh Lord, You can work miracles
All You need is my "Amen"
So, take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small
I trust in You, I trust in You
So take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
No gift is too small
I apologized many times, but i guess there is no hope left for me. A disappointment leads to the end? I'm not very experienced in shepherdings, so its kinda impossible for me to do perfect.. All i can say is sorry? I have not been perfect, but Im at least blameless and accountable for what i do. I may seem like a strong believer but there are things i haven't experienced. Without your acceptance, i cannot function as a cl at all.
Forgive me oh lord, for i have not produced positive results, but thank you for the chance..
These holidays are totally packed for me.. No time to blog..
Time to practise the piano.. on my new song, memmory...
Haha lose another sheep? Is that less workload for me or am i supposed to spend so much prescious time to settle things I did not totally do wrongly and apologize even though the other dosent?
Wow not bad as a new shepherd. You dont even ask for tips and when i told you he was your sheep you didnt even ask me how to handle that one. Not interested? How many times did i tell you to arrange with me instead of me asking you all the time? Seriously if you think shepherding is a waste of time, then you dont deserve any sheeps.
Yeah im a bad shepherd i dont have a good background and im no god. I dont do things according to the bible sometimes and i dont fufil your expectation as a shepherd who totally sucks up to you. The more effort is put in, the more problem it causes. Hah who was the one who desired a sheep? I could have not given him to you, so be greatful i still had faith in you.
Yeah im a sucky shepherd like ming said. Every piece of effort put in is seen as junk comming out from a piece of shit. To start with, Im a human, my tolerance extends to a limit ^^. Why would i care for junky diciples? I could chuck them aside and totally not bother to help them unleash any potential. I could just sit there and spend time correcting myself, enjoying myself instead of prepairing shepherding, planning caregroup and trying so hard to make the caregroup an enjoyable event and having biblical people to serve together. My effort is pointless? I could have just slacked off and maybe things would'nt be like this today. Yeah yk was right, that it is not the junky people in the low class who destroys the organization it is those shepherds and leaders who do. Yeah thats me im destroying it despite how hard i try to fix it. Im stupid aint I? I cant even handle things properly? I could have just NOT raised up my hand when they asked who wanted to be a CL so badly. I could have said NO to sheeps i disliked and is lazy to take in.
I took up the damn challenge to serve God and i followed through to the very end. This is the end? Sheeps leaving one after another. Old sheeps who cant stop being sacarstic. Oh please i cant stand nonsense.
I should have slacked, so i wouldnt have to take the blame for all this today. For trying so hard and screwing up so hard. Well i screwed up 4 lives. You all still dare to entrust things to me? Stop giving me pain Oh lord. Challenge me some more I'd be dead tomorrow. Need to hand in my stupid letter tomorrow. Screw it if i retain. My life is worthless? I cant even do things well even when i believed i'd do if i put in all my effort. I invested my time and life into things of christ which i could have spend those time working. I could have earnt a few thousands by now if i hadn't sacrificed it in hope to save more lives. Church? Is that meant to be my home?
Tell me oh god assure me im not the son of the devil. Father cleanse me?
Your voice is fading away, my heart is sinking. The end of days draws near, my heart is beating fast. The end is near, so many is unsafe, yet so close to the edge of the pits of hell. Throw me oh lord, into the very gates of hell, in exchange for another worthy soul. I deserve the tortures in which hell offers as a payment for my sins. I have not been blameless, for i have not been doing well.
Father redeem me from this hell. Father open the doors of my prison, for i would very much like to try again. You have been faithful, i shant ask of anything else, for i do not deserve anything in your name.
Father in Heaven,
Your child, who have been determined to serve you from the very day of believing in your name, has failed you. I have not been doing things the right way and often made mistakes. Father bring me out of the darkness, bring me out of my prison. Too long have i stayed slumber behind the gates of my prison. Father awaken me, open the door.. Save me, for i refuse to acknoledge satan as my God. I serve you and no-one else. Father aid me to do things in your way. Cleanse me for I have shed innocent blood. My soul is so stained with innocent blood. Help me oh god.. Help me in jesus name, Amen
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
(1 peter 2:9)
Disappointment has a way of turning prayers into silence. It can be hard to pray when you are bitter and angry toward people you believe are ruining your life. It can be even harder to pray when you feel that God Himself has let you down.
God understands our feelings. Yet He has made a way for us to come with confidence to His throne of grace.
Our Identity in Christ
Identity theft is a problem most of us didn’t think about 5 years ago. Today it is common to hear the stories of victims who are trying to salvage their name and credit rating after learning that someone has stolen and misused a password, social security number, or charge card.
Knowing the danger of identity fraud will help us think twice before giving personal information that could permit others access to our bank account. Being informed can also deepen our understanding of a spiritual principle that I have often taken for granted. According to the Bible, we are not the only ones who have reason for concern (Romans 2:24). God Himself takes a risk with His identity whenever He allows us to use His name. When we identify ourselves as His children, and even more when we let it be known that we are followers of Christ, His credit rating gets mingled with our own. Yet by endangering His own reputation, God gives us the greatest of gifts.
The use of His Name and credit is at the heart of what the Bible says God does for us. It is not a privilege we would expect or ask for. It’s natural to want to take care of ourselves, to solve our own problems, and to be obligated to no one. Yet, from a biblical point of view there are compelling reasons to see our need for access to God’s name and credit. According to the Scriptures . . .
In ourselves, we have problems we cannot solve. That’s one reason Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” (Matthew 6:12). These words remind us that there is something wrong with us. With endless excuses and rationalizations we live for ourselves at the expense of others. God knows this better than we do. Without His forgiveness, we have no ability to get out of the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into. But . . .
In Christ, we have solutions to our problems (Ephesians 1:3-23). By having access to His name and credit, our spiritual obligations are paid, and our legal problems with the law of God are cleared (2:1-10). Fear of rejection, ultimate failure, and death are all solved when God sees us “in Christ.” Struggles for personal meaning and value are no longer burdened by our own flawed efforts. In God’s eyes, no one is more important, and no one is more secure, than the one He has entrusted with the name of His Son.
One with Him. According to the New Testament, being “in Christ” doesn’t depend on our own efforts. We can’t do this by ourselves. When we believe in Him, we are placed “into one body” by His Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). As a result of being joined to Him we become one with Him. His Father becomes our Father, His family our family, and His inheritance our inheritance. “In Christ” we are forgiven, accepted by God, and assured of never-ending life. Because we have become one with Him, we will never again be alone.
One with each other. According to Paul’s letter to the Galatians, those who are one with Christ also become one with one another. So the apostle writes, “As many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (3:27-28). Race, status, and gender have nothing to do with the value of every person. Those who are in Christ discover that the oneness they have in Him is far more important than their differences.
Remembering who we are. Because our identity “in Him” doesn’t change what we see in the mirror, we need to work against the inclination to forget our family relationship to Christ. Unless we consistently renew our thoughts, we eventually make the mistake of thinking that our well-being depends on the affirmation of those around us. Visible circumstances incline us to become so obsessed with our physical health or financial independence that we lose our sense of security in Christ. We forget the One who says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
Protecting His name. Living in the name and presence of Christ is life’s greatest opportunity. It means more than the hope of being forgiven and accepted by God. Our position “in Him” means even more than being able to use the “charge card” of grace in every moment and circumstance of life. Beyond assuring our own well-being, it means we have a family and moral obligation to honor the One who has entrusted His name and credit to us. The privilege is priceless. It is greater than having access to the world’s deepest pockets or bank accounts. If handled well, we have an opportunity to reflect well on the credibility of God (Titus 2:10). If we abuse the privilege, we take God’s name in vain, not in profanity as we usually think of it but in a way that hurts the reputation of heaven (Romans 2:24). Because of these opportunities, and with deep concern for the family and credit rating of God, the apostle Paul wrote, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:1-4). The message is clear. God doesn’t give us the charge card of grace to waste on thoughtless purchases. He gives us the name of His Son, so that at His expense we can buy a whole new way of living and loving.
Father in heaven, You have given us so much. The miracle of life is beyond our understanding. The opportunity to know You is a gift beyond comparison. The people around us are priceless. Please forgive us for losing sight of what is most important. Please forgive us for ignoring You, Your will, and the hurting and lost people for whom Your Son died. May today be the day that Your kingdom comes and Your will is done in us, as it is in heaven.
