Spirit vs body
I've been struggling with my body. My Spirit told me to write but my body is lazy and i procrastinated. Thank God, i choose to obey my Spirit rather than my body. The body is always against the Spirit of Christ who dwells in me. Since Adam falled, our body falled! But Christ came to give us life, a life more abundantly! In Romans 8:6, "If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace." That's where your mind decides whether to obey your sinful nature (usually the body is the cause) or the Holy Spirit. For me, i rather have life and peace. I'm sure most of you will agree with me.
Your mind must also be renewed everyday. How? By the word of God! The food of your mind is by reading and hearing the word of God. In Romans 12:2. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." By knowing God's word, you will see the heart of God and His intention. Then it'll be easy to differentiate the thoughts in your mind is from the Spirit or from the devil. But of course, there'll be peace and joy in the Spirit, and often sorrows and regrets and condemnation in the devil.
How could they? For, "Who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who can give him counsel?" But we can understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16
I went for an interview on monday for the post of Lab Analyst. They looked at me and i looked at them (like playing staring games), then they looked at my results and said, "your second year results not that fantastic." My eyes widened and i felt a little rejected. They looked at me again and asked me "why did you apply for this post since you studied process technology instead of analytical during third year?" They caught me again! Of cause i gave them an answer with wisdom from the Lord. I thought this job is gone because there are 64 other applicants eyeing for this post and after what i've gone through in the interview.
I was wrong (but it is good to prove myself wrong sometimes), during bible study on thursday, the HR from that company called me and told me i was shortlisted for that job. Hallelujah! Never under-estimate the favor of God upon you, it surrounds you like a shield!
Each time he said, "My gracious favor is all you need. My power works best in your weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Last night was a fruitful one, i fellowship with uncle joe and uncle andrew. i really received alot especially without kason around (jus jk haha =p). Uncle joe is going to US to study in a Christian bible school and will become a pastor! Uncle andrew is going to be the greatest giver into God's kingdom, why i say that? He shared with me his vision and his calling into the business which i foresee is going to shake the world. It's time to take back the economics of the world into our hands, us Christians! Both of them are really great man of God whom i well-respect.
Yeah, finally it's going to be sunday! I can't wait to serve in the children's ministry tomorrow. They are so cuuttteeee!
