It's Time To Get Out-NOW!

Has it ever occurred to you how the great men and women of God could preach and cause hearts to stir? Of course it's the Holy Spirit who brings the conviction to hearts of the people but how is God able to use them? I mean, they are icons of lives transformed, testimonies of what God can do to and with those who believed in Him WHOLEHEARTEDLY!

Well, they ALL had a TIME when there was nothing; when they saw nothing but simply heard the voice of God calling and decided to take their chance to step out in FAITH. Yes, they all had a time of small beginnings... From small to significant!

Joyce Meyer is a classic example. Click here to hear her proclamation. Jesus is outside of the boat! Where are you?!!

Time to take your chance!! (2Kings7:3-4) Stop all the analysis and end your paralysis! ARISE! #nelle#

P.S. In case you haven't realised, faith is built in the course of the doing, not thinking!

To Whom Do You Look To?

We hear it so often, "It's so difficult to be a good Christian. I'm tired. I want to give up." At one point or another, everyone (I dare say) goes through a time of doubt. It could last for a split second, a few moments, a couple of days, some months, donkey years.... All because we didnt meet up to someone's expectations of the "perfect and good" Christian or because someone didnt meet up to our expectations of the "perfect and good" Christian.

The word of God says we are His workmanship; we are jars of clay; we are still in the making. Where on earth did we get the notion that we're perfect after Salvation, and demand perfection of others (dont tell me you dont :P)? We claim others impose their unbearable standards upon us that we cannot meet up to (or dont even attempt to stretch ourselves to grow and arise to) yet we condemn them and tell the world how they disappoint and disillusion us of what Christians are about when they "fail" to do what we think they "ought to". Sorry, but could you show me where in the bible God said the saved would be perfect creatures in Christ? My bible tells me the saved are NEW creatures in Christ. And the new comes with consciousness to dump the things of old as we are renewed in our minds and ways as God's word reveals. Yes, we're still CRACKED pots. Are we on the same page?

Let's not make life difficult for ourselves and others. Often, we are our own stumbling blocks, not others. When we choose not to seek God for ourselves, when we want to take the easy way out, hoping to encounter God in/through others (hello, man is not God), we end up in a spiralling-down of our faith in God.


The invitation and command have always been to look up to God and God only. Only Jesus is the perfect Man. Fix your eyes on the right Person. #nelle#
