Worthy Cause!

Entering mid-way into the 14 days of Fast and Prayer, i come back to a conclusion of God wanting to deepen convictions, drill it, lodge it and anchor who He is firmly in my heart. Serving God isn't really a very hard thing to do. However, the extension of God's kingdom and building disciples is a tough and pressurizing task. My priorities, heart attitudes and security are constantly being challenged. Many times though not directly by God, but more through people and situations. Sometimes it seems that the more you pray and fast, more seems to go against. Many years since i started the path as a a disciple maker and servant of God, i went through many seasons of discouragements, doubts and disappointments, sometimes coupled with guilt of not 'trying hard enough'; frustrations when things are not moving, group not growing, individuals not responding, worse is when i feel that i'm not growing or having breakthroughs etc and the list extends.

I came before God today with my heart and mind filled with many events that past and things that are about to come. But holy spirit immediately put within me a sober mind (not that i drank any alcohol, but a sober mind that is not drunk with my own thoughts) to Praise God for His victory, greatness and almightiness. I know that He is building deeper convictions of who He is because He reminded me of His sovereignty and that i know i find encouragements not through people around, not through situations that happens but through Him, the giver of all. I can gladly seek for HIS will to be done even if it requires the constantly re-shaping of my will so that He is enlarged and i diminish.

God multiplies in the most oppressed situation, we can be knocked down but not knocked out!

Be encourgaed!

7But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9
