Dedicated time of spiritual feeding





Since the past and the fact has never changed, people do draw closer to God in worship and prayer. Apart from that, fasting is also spiritual discipline. With the growing demand to be busier each round of work and studies, we can easily become unclear of our purpose and lose sight of what's eternal. BUSY have a interesting way of meaning, Busy Under Satan's Yoke. Every new day, as students, we often find ourselves always saying, "very busy, no time for anything". Trust me, it will forever remain that way until we find a CHANGE and adjustment in our lives.

In our current context and affairs, who's not busy at all? Everyone is and it has become the 'in' word of our time. Satan is also rather versatile as time passes by. The past familiar word is actually this, stress. This kind of stress back then causes the mind to break down and becomes tired to push on. Today, people are smarter and full of intellect, so does Satan and his kingdom. Instead of stressing us with the work, which we can easily overcome with knowledge and wisdom, he makes us really busy for even spending time alone with God. Try asking yourself this:

Have you loved God more today than yesterdays'?

We're in bad shape. Often, left wounded in a battle fighting for academic and cca excellence (because these things cannot satisfy our eternal longing). Our spiritual life? Who cares? So as long i fulfill it on Sundays and just stay away from troubles. Where was the last time you ever weep for your wrongdoings and found conviction in the Lord for a change? When was the last time you challenged your bad habits and overcome with the Lord's strength? When was the last time you cried like a baby because you needed the touch of the Lord so much? When was the last time you ever got so lost in the presence of the Lord because you're deeply immersed in holy worship? When was the last time you gave thanks in great and sincere gratefulness?

Do we Have a Hunger for God today? Have you got a longing to reach God in a whole different level and spectrum? So as long we lose sight of the gospel and God, we lose sight of EVERYTHING.

It can be simply put into illustration of a small circle and a outer bigger circle. The small circle is our core (hearts) and the outer bigger circle is influence (studies,work,social life,friends,etc). You guys sang 'centre of my life' before? That God is the centre of it all and your Majesty, i surrender all? Our core is God, and the influence is your surrender. Often, we operate in a way, outer circle in, instead of inner circle out. It cannot be influence determining who we really are, should be who we really are to determine what our influence will become right? Spend some time thinking about this.

2 Chronicles 7:14~if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land

I'm proposing a day of dedication for spiritual feeding especially personal and corporate worship where all the leaders can come humbly before our Almighty God and seek a deeper relationship together through proper fellowship and support. So, i need you guys to reply in the comment under this post which evenings in the week is better for you to meet up k?






I assure you (with my conviction in God), it'll be a great time with God and won't be a waste.

......n i would love your presence
