What a Fruitful and wonderful day it is!!
Sunday... I just when and hang out with my friend in a park after grabbing a drink from 7-Eleven.
It was such a fruitful and encouraging time together. We were just chatting about "how are we" doing. We talked about our struggles and what is in our heart and our vision for ourselves and for the church. What can we contribute and what are we called to do. We determine to "do the right thing". Living a life of no compromise and going with the flow of Christ as our example. Since we both are men of action. We just didn't sit down there and chat. We just walk a few rounds in the park and spoke in tongues and pray for our lives, our church, our personal vision and dreams to be filter through God. Because we don't want our vision and dreams to be just another "good idea" and not God's idea. And so it begins, this journey of holiness and righteoussness my friend. Because we both love God, we want to make a change, as we see how a junk we are and how much God still hope in us and not gave up on us. We are motivated by His love and His kindess that leads us to repentance.
We want to stop gossiping, slandering, cursing, living up to people's "expectations" on us (indirectly), pulling people down, discarding our IDOLS, get rid of sins in general and INSTEAD of that, we really wana bless, uphold, encourage, built, love one another. Because He is such a holy God and because He love us so much. Because there is so much more satisfaction in following Christ and to be committed to Christ than doing unedifying stuff or saying unedifying words.
We basically had enough of nonsense and toys. "Give us a life", for Christ sake who died on the cross for us! Getting back to the basics without even noticing it. We started praying there in the field and we just thought about our church's mandate and calling to be a worshipping and praying church. And living out lives of prayer and worship unto Him. Acting out in reallity of who we really are in Christ. Not who we are in the world.
I have a vision... For people, for Christ. For our church. But I will give myself to the end of the year with much fasting and prayer to confirm whether or not this is of Christ or just another of Joshua's random ideas. (Which are mostly rubbish). I'm feeling kinda lonely to be honest. I'm feeling lonely because I feel like I'm alone in this journey of holiness and righteousness and wholehearted commitment to Christ. I know I'm not a pinch close to where I wana be. But I wana start some where. Back to the calling and basics of Christianity or Christian life:
Read your bible
Pray everyday
If you want to grow
There is just so much stuff clogging in my heart that I just feel like pouring all out. I know how I am now. And I also have a vision of how I wana be like down the road.
And the best thing was, when both of us were there at the park, I just sense the presence of God was present there. It was awesome. No such hype but plain honest people hanging out together with our aim to please the Father.
It's a journey of dependancy on Christ, faith, courage, uncompromising love, unselfishness, perseverence, and long-suffering to see Him glorified and His kingdom establish in our lives.
Anyone wana join us on this journey of living this kind of life?

This phrase strick a chord :)
Walk of holiness and obedient is never easy. But it is worthwhile to know that we are walking with God and in the center of his will.
Thanks for the encouragement.
