i've been thinking about people lately, and sometimes thinking about the right things gives you right conclusions but only when you evaluate them the right way. well in my case all these happens in the brain.
for a really long time i've been thinking about people who cant seem to hold on to God, i wonder about them and sort of compare what they do to what the leaders do. i think of those who seem to cant grasp things in the spiritual realm and who are weak Spiritually. somehow its an apparent relationship/decision that pulls them into that weakness - i believe its all linked together.
i dont want to talk much because i cant say i know much. but i guess all i can say, and i have come to a conclusion regarding this, is that one needs to choose between giving all or giving nothing at all.
Psts gave their all to God, im really sure of that. Their past, present and future shouts one Name and one Name only. Dominic gave his all too, everything he is and everything he stands for is for God. Lester Sumrall gave his all too, he left everything he had at all and went preaching to the nations when he was still a teenager. Jesus spent time even as a young boy in the temple and among the teachers. Great men and women of God gave their all, they dont even give 90% of themselves. 100% and 100% it is.
i've never knew of any great Godly people who takes a liking to the world. they were in the world but not of the world. i dont think they liked secular music, obsessed about latest fashion, cared much about the hypes of the world. really, all they cared about was God and God only. i doubt they did things which the world would label as 'normal'. these people were radical, radical, radical on-fire Christians. from the bottom of my heart, i think the only secular songs Dominic really really knew about can be counted with 2 hands only. HAHA. the other songs he sings were most probably made up from his ultimate fun element with a speck of Holy Spirit.
see, its a decision we make that determines who we are. you reap what you sow. i so much believe so.
dint you read from the bible that God is a jealous God?
Exodus 34:14 - (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
like the bible says so, i cant bring myself to any other thing that can place itself over God, even if its temporial. God first then God first always. God is a jealous God so i'll fill His emotional tank. HAHA :D
from a human moral standard, how'd you think God feels if you gave 50% to Him when He Himself gave His 100% to send His Son to die for you 2000 years ago? something not quite morally correct right?
but of course God feels perfectly fine. He's a God! of course He feels ok if you shortchange Him, people have been shortchanging Him since the start of time.
but from my moral standard, i dont feel right giving 50% to God when He gave His 100% for me. no one deserves 100% when they dont give 100%. For my relationship with God, i would sure want to match Him, so today i give my human 100% and God gives His Godly 100%. no one loses when everybody gives their best (:
so what is 100%? well, i'd throw that question back to you. think and seek God about it.
let Your Presence fall. on me. on you.
