yup, i've come to the conclusion that i need to get brainwashed by the Word of God. That's probably like the only way i will ever live my life God's way or even be like the 'perfect' Christian. For me to move forward and live out my destiny, the one thing that must happen first is for God really to be in control of not just my life, but to be in control of everything. In the daily choices i make, the words that i speak, thoughts that go through my mind, and things that i just do at every second of the day. I rather be a zombie that fulfils and be all that God wants me to be, than to be my fleshly self who gets to do everything my way, and at the end of the day getting no where.
What i find interesting is that God gave us a freedom of choice to allow us to choose how we want to live our life, basically two ways to live. But what comes after that is a million other little daily choices on how we live our life that ultimately depends which path we really choose to walk down. I've never been good with making decisions, and one reason would be that there's a high possibility that the decisions i make are never the best ones available, sometimes even the worst.. So the question is, is it possible for me to not have this freedom of choice, and let God be the one who is in control of everything, be in control of everything? I find it easier accepting whatever gets thrown at me compared to me choosing the way I want to live.
God, don't let me be like Jonah who at the start ran away from Your calling.
1 Tim 2
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
We know that it is God's desire for all to be saved, but we know that it is not possible too. because it is said in Matthew 24:9-11[NIV]
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
There will be a great falling away, this is what Jesus had said of His second coming..We are working towards making His name sound through all the earth, but still, in the end, we will be hated, and persecuted, and many will turn against one another. That's a pretty big job to take on if you ask me, considering the outcome is one that will cause such sadness and grief.
Lord, give me strength to live this day, and help me forget not Heb 10:26!
