What really is your walk with God?

Good day,

Seems that I have 4 viewers that view my last post. I'm glad... gives me reason to blog more about spiritual life.

today's topic is about Your Walk With God.

---------------------------

Let me ask you a question.

What is your walk with God like? What does it mean to Walk with God?

I was going through my QT and went to search the word walk. This verse stuck a chord in me.

2 John 1:6 And this is love; that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

So dear brothers and sisters what is your walk with God? Like what the bibles talks about the walk... its really a walk of obedience; of following his commands of love.

Here, I would like to inject some theological knowledge.

3 processes.

1) Justification - Accepted Christ and He sets us right with God

2) Sanctification - Made Holy with God with the help of the Word as well as the Holy Spirit

3) Glorification - looking forward to an eternity with Christ

So dear brothers and sisters I would like you point towards the bible and look how they constantly refer the relationship with the Father.

Thus we see these processes are a part of your walk with God.

So what actually is your walk with God? Dear brothers and sisters I believe this is what you must find and THINK what is really the walk you want to have with God.

To me this walk is about a relationship that compels me to seek his Grace. May this also be your definition of YOUR walk with God.

Regards,
Sherman

37th Mission Conference in Chen Li

Good day folks,

As I've promise Tommy to keep the blog updated there are many things that happened these few weeks.

They are as follows. ( Just the main ones )

1) Tommy went off to Ireland with his family on 10 Sept.
2)The 37th mission week was conducted on the 9 - 12 Sept.
3)Daniel Loh will be going off to UK to study on the 30th of Sept.

-------------------------------------------

So today's topic is talking about the mission week that has past. Well... I would like to post a rough summary about what happened.

In sum,

1) Prayers can work wonders

2) The passion for the gospel

3) Having the willingness is not enough, one must equip themselves with the word.

4) Being Gentle servants of the Lord

5) Tests from God is to help us know how much we lack and should compels us to seek the Lord.

So these are the main ideas that have been going around in mission week.

I would Just like to share with you all point 1; Prayers can work wonders.

Many of times we have heard people say how prayers have changed their lives. On top of that we just finish watching Fireproof, a show that show us how prayer was an important part in the show whereby it constantly gives hope to the main actor and his family.

One thing stuck a chord in me. The moment whereby the main actor was struggling with temptations and how he over come it. Well it is very surreal.

Let me share with you how God spoke to me about temptations.

These few weeks I've been struggling to fight temptations of purchasing things. So i decided to pray about these urge and seek help from God.

God spoke to me in 2 ways. Firstly was the sermon during mission week about how prayers will move mountains. Second, was what Sister Diana shared with me.

She said, "pray to God and ask him to help you. Shun away from the things that tempts you. You know, sometimes praying to God to help you is not enough... you must look at the rooted cause of the temptation. Is it greed? the desire that compels you to me tempted? If so pray about it and ask God to take away the greed."

These are the words of wisdom that she shared with me. I will continue to pray about it and DO pray for me : )

Alright this is for today. May the Lord watch over you dear brothers and sisters of Chen Li.

Regards,
Sherman
