Lord please help me =)….
today’s message was aswesomely from the Lord…my church elder…spoke about Cain and Abel…
Cain gave his best crops for the Lord and Abel gave his best sheep to the lord.. but why the Lord accepted Abel’s offering and decline Cain’s.
Cain’s was man’s way to offer for God…which is not what the Lord wants…most of the Lord people like us might think that we are doing and working for the Lord but it is most probably we are not doing what the Lord wants…
When we do it our way…we might go tired and it leads towards a lot of things like envy, hatred and leads to the next sin lying….today’s message was very good towards me because i’m a person who thinks as long as i work for the Lord…i’m doing will of the Lord…
but i realize how wrong was i…I needed to continue to seek the Lord’s guidance in any ministry that the Lord will put me in…til now have to focus on the spiritual life…is it well fed, happy and enjoying God’s company or is it just in recovery…just have to pray further for the Lord’s guidance….
bro and sis in christ out there…that is reading this blog…please keep me in prayers…tht i’ll be God’s useful tool…
been weak due to emotions lately…but today i’m getting better by the grace of God….the Lord has been very very Good to me…ministering to me through sisters and pastors and i truely thank God for that…
thank my friends tht some take the time to read my blog ….it really means a lot to me during this time…maybe it sounds silly…hehehe but everything to me is part of growing up…i learnt a lot through this sillinesss.. and now i’m still learning
do continue to pray and ask God to protect and help me to be a living tool for His glory…=). God Bless always….

Hey =)
I just happened to drop by here and read your entry. This morning I went to Hope church and the sermon carried exactly the same message as what you’ve learned. It’s about the story of cross and Pastor Ian talked abt Peter’s denial of Christ.
When Peter promised Jesus to give up even his life for Him, He really meant it. When a party of high priest and soldier went to arrest Jesus, Peter drew out the sword and struck the servant. He really wanted to show Jesus His sincerity in serving Him. But Jesus said No. He came to die, not to establish an Earthly kingdom.
Too often we are like Peter. We want to do something for Jesus, we make commitment to follow Him and serve Him in whichever way that we think best suits Him. But we do not pay attention to His Word. We overlook the importance of His will. We want to serve Him in our own ways. Peter was courageous and loyal, he loved Jesus. But unlike Mary, he didn’t sit down at Jesus’ feet to listen to His message. Therefore, he didn’t understand Jesus’ heart.
May we learn to serve the Lord in the way He desires us to be =)
