was a hectic day(s).
where i slept for less than an hour the following morning.
the sequence of events, in back-to-back fashion, were as follows:
24/3, 6:45am - Simei ITE S-L, prayer meeting, mahjong with ex-classmates, service, visit XQ, - 25/3, 9:00pm
in the morning of what was to come, the Holy Spirit led me to,
" So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem. " - Genesis 35:4
i felt it was a reminder for me to check my life: do i have any foreign gods to surrender?
the scariest thing about these gods is that sometimes we don't even realise we have them!
anything placed before God in importance is a foreign god - we have adored something over God.
anything that hinders our relationship with God is a foreign god - God demands our all. anything less is a compromise.
anything that is in conflict with God is a foreign god - a water tap only produces one kind of water: clean or dirty.
the law was written to convict us of how far we are from adequacy.
but grace was demonstrated by our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross.
so repent. cast down ur idols. bury them. and God will surely forgive.
TAKE OFF the old clothes. be RENEWED in the mind. and put on the fresh garments of righteousness!
do u have a foreign god in your life?
computer games?
your girlfriend?
money?
food?
music?
enjoyment?
unwholesome talk?
friends?
yourself?
so many possible things..
have they come between God and u?
Lord, let us not be mere hearers of the Word, but doers.
les us cast off everything that hinders so that we may be closer to you.
is God first in EVERYTHING?
