DARE TO STAND UP FOR GOD?
DARE TO STAND UP FOR GOD?
oops..guess its been more than a month..approaching 2 months real soon..again..well,shall revive it for now again..with a post..a random post..yeah
Find it hard to proclaim the name of Jesus, to stand up for what's right or to just simply admit theat you're a Christian among friends?
Many times I struggle trying to stand up for God whether it be directly (verbally and immediate) or indirectly (through everyday's testimonies in school or at home etc).. We live in a defective world and its getting tougher and tougher to stand for God. But its necessary..
Ian shared a message not too long ago " No more school as usual". One thing that i remembered was that God WILL give us all a chance to stand for Him in school, its just a matter of how and when..many times these chances come along but we don't even notice and it just slips away silently and a chance to shine for God is gone...
It is hard, undeniable, esp among friends that aren't Christians.. we know that we should grab an opportunity when it comes..like grab it fast! but when it really comes..?? Do we stand there and think..should I or should I not? (And the clock goes..tick tock tick tock tic tock..) Many times I pray that I will be able to shine for God no matter where i am, that God will give me a chance to do so..and God answers prayers and so He did..in many different ways which i didnt even notice for some..but yeah He did..and my reaction..? watch the clock tick away..
I have let many chances slip away in the past few years...was thinking about it last yr and the beginning of this year.. there's no more time to waste..its my last year in SCGS..the 10th year as well..it better be well used i told myself..but soon I found myself letting chances slip by again...
Just last week, a topic on homosexual love was brought up in during one of the literature lessons that i was having as one of my classmate , like what my teacher or friends will think of me etc..but giving some thought to it.. I took that step wrote about how she felt abt it in her lit journal, she was very persuasive and she won many people to her side, soon I found many of my classmates agreeing that homosexual love is perfectly normal as long as u really love that person.. a time to stand up?? I thought it was obvious that i ought to stand for what I believe.. so I decided to write in my next journal entry about how i felt about homosexual love and wat i believed..it was a tough choice for me, knowing that it might be read out in class if the teacher decides to print it out but i just decided to write about it. Not denying, I am afraid of what will happenof faith and God will meet me there, from the time i decided to write on it to the time im goin to hand it in ( btw, I just finished writing it..yeah) God's in control..whatever befalls, Jesus doeth all things well..
Giving it deeper thought ( i think alot..haha..cheryl will agree..rite?) This was not only a temporal time for me to shine for God but its goin to last through at least the year as if my classmates read my entry, im sure that they will notice every word and action of mine after i made that stand.. its a challenge for me then, to live a life a Christian ought to live, one that is Christ-like, one that wins souls to Christ, one that glorifies God..
Where is a Gideon?
This is the time when idols are worshipped
Even God's people are trapped in their snares
Good man have fallen, standards have shaken
Where is the answer, who even cares?
Where is a Gideon?
Where is a man, who'll be a leader and follow God's plan?
Where is God's champion?
Who'll be the one to stand like Gideon?
I'll be that man.
Where is the man who gives up ambition?
Worldly desires are all set aside.
Where is the man though lonely be service
Who satisfies only in Him to abide?

In this world, in this time, good man have fallen, man's standard of God have shaken, Christians are trapped in their snares...
A few last words, when we honour God, He WILL honour us..afraid to stand up? why? we're not alone for God is with us..
