Following even through the Clouds of School

Summer break has ended for me and God has blessed me with classes I enjoy. I just thank Him for putting me in school, that I may continue to exercise my mind for His glory. School has helped with my time management, keeping me away from idle time. But school has also brought me back to worldly thinking. Pray that I may overcome these distractions with the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.

The classes I'm taking are Architecture 64, Draft 202 and PEG Basketball. I really enjoy these classes and none of the studies are that difficult that deals with holiness. Their are some issue with some classes. In basketball, during games, I can get really prideful and self-centered. May I be reminded that I follow Christ in everything I do, even in basketball.

The people surrounding me can get really dangerous for me. For they express things that may effect my holiness, involving lust, blasphemous sayings, worldly philosophy, even just simple rudeness. I need to continue to follow my King even how I deal with these things when I cross by them. Sometimes I just get really mad and begin to hate them when I should pray for them and for them to repent for their sins. I even have to be aware of not letting them influence me. I must remind myself that school is also a ministry given by God. Pray that I may share the Gospel to my school and may the seeds grow through the power of my King.

(readers) My this post assist you in your studies at school. Summer is ending for you students as well. May you continue to follow Christ and for those who don't know of Christ. May these post reveal to you Jesus Christ.

Lead On, Oh King Eternal, may you strengthen us through our studies

From the day before, I'm suffering from my sins. I can understand this, for all sins must be punished by God personally. Because of what I did last night, it continued when I woke up, first I woke up at 12pm which is really late. Then from their I was not productive at all. I just watched TV and stayed in a lazy posture. By 2pm, I knew this is following my Lord, so I called one of my accountability partners and confessed to him. He helped me through not by holding my hand or just listening to a sob story. He directed me back to whom I am following, Jesus Christ.

This was so humbling to hear for all sin will eventually cause you to break down just like me. If you do come to a point like this (I assure you, christians will come to points like this in there life), remember your Savior. For He went through suffering that was unlike any other. He was betrayed, denied, abandoned, spited upon, crowned with thorns, beaten, lashed, nailed to a cross of wood, speared, and even more horrendous things. He did not deserve any of it. He could have ran away or given us all what we deserve, eternal death. Yet He endured all those things because He loved us. He took the punishment for us, so that we may be saved by His righteous wraith.

After I made that call, I prepared to go to prayer meeting. Our church has prayer meeting scheduled once a month. I brought my cousins and headed off to the church. We had a devotion with one of our leaders and He made me realize something, others are suffering as well. I had a broad understanding of this but to see that others are suffering for there sins is such a hard thing to view. For me, people who do evil things, I would conclude that they either 1.)Don't know of it. 2.) Accept it. Then I found out a third one, they struggle in it.

Its so ridiculous how I couldn't see that. For I'm in that third category, yet I never acknowledge that others are in this category as well. Usually I conclude that they are fighting the struggle so it is obvious they are not in a deep hole. Now thinking like that is just ignorance on my part, being very biased, prejudicial, stereo typing, etc. I pray that I may have eyes to read the people around me, instead of just looking at the cover. My King shows a perfect example in observing Peter. Peter rejected Jesus three time yet Jesus still held Him as one of His followers. I know their is a difference in the fact that Jesus is omniscience, as for us if they don't how a complete rejection of Christ, we should continue to see them as christians or people who don't know Christ.

Lead On, Oh King Eternal, pray for your children to follow you

Night Journey

I feared my greatest desire, to proclaim the Gospel to my loved ones and to the world. This I know is what my King wants; for people to know of my righteous King, Jesus Christ and to know of His good works.(Matthew 28:19-20) So I asked a brother of Christ to help me in this matter. He gave a simple yet effective example on how to evangelize to the world.

First, to share the Gospel you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and be reborn by faith in Him, not by your works. For all are sinners and all need a Savior to be saved by the Wraith of God. Second, you must repent of those sins to God so that you may be forgiven. As you continue to do this in your life, you must sanctify yourself with His Word and through the Holy Spirit. Then basically as you evangelize, this is what you must share with those who you are evangelizing to; Share the Gospel, and reveal to them their sins so they may repent and be saved. Notice that you have to understand your sinfulness before you share to others of their sinfulness.

This was a wonderful lesson, even though it was just out of a conversation. As the night went on I was with my cousins and my sister. We went over to my cousins house to enjoy the rest of the night with them. From there, I felt that I compromised myself from following my King. For it was late and I should have been sleeping, and I was in a worldly household. Nothing bad really happened but as I got home I failed to follow my King.
Praise God that I was able to speak to one of my cousins who I have been sharing the Gospel to. I am so blessed to see my cousin grow in Christ and to have a biblical understanding of the Gospel.

Once I got home, I failed to share the Gospel to myself. I ended up committing a certain sin that I have been struggling with; impurity. This is why I started this blog, that I may be remind to share the Gospel to the World and also to myself. For ALL are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. I pray that this confession my convict myself and maybe other who are reading this. I pray that this blog will continue to glorify my Lord.

Lead On, Oh King Eternal, even through dark nigthts
