Blogging while waiting for Mushmom to spawn. lol.
Alot of things happen lately. Bt i learnt alot.
Sun's sermon is abt gg into the deep. Jesus told Simon Peter to go out to the deep to fish.. Bt all did Simon Peter did was grumble n move out to the shallow. Clearly disobeying Jesus. Bt Jesus was calm, n told Simon Peter to continue gg out to the deep. Reluctantly, Simon Peter went out.. n let dwn one net instead of 'nets' tt Jesus told him to. Clearly stubborn tt he will be wasting his time since he's been fishing all day n couldn't get any. Bt then, sth realli wonderful happen. Simon Peter's net started to be filled wif so much fishes tt he couldn't bring it up to his boat wif the risk of sinking it.
Ok.. i just killed it wif Ye sheng. lol..
Well.. many times in life. God wants to bless us. If onli we r willing to do deeper. Sum of us r just disobedient that we refused to listen to Him. Even when He called out to u. Ur heart remains cold to Him. It's sumtimes comes to tt pt whereby due to ur own convenience. U decide to delude urself by coming up theories of yar own. Tis is wad i learnt outta the story.. nth to do wif the sermon.
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice
And to heed than the fat of rams,
For REBELLION is as the sin of witchcraft,
And STUBBORNESS is as iniquity and idolatry. (1 Sam 15:22-23)
Many Christians may have unwillingly sinned similarly to those who practice witchcraft. Unknowingly due to the deceptive veil of rebellion tt covers them.
I'm nt here to judge who is rebellious n stubborn. For u cannot deny it's from the bible, the living Word of God.
Well. After the svc.. we went to East Coast park for fellowship.. Our cgl told the helpers to go out to the deep.. which is the waters.. Many were unprepared. Sum brought onli one piece of clothing. Bt they all went dwn. After sum moments, they came to shore n ask us. Who is willing to step out wif them. Looking at how the cg reacted to it. I pulled myself back. Social fear struck mani of us. Sum the reluctance to step out of the comfort zone. "huh.. one clothing onli.. how.. dun wan la.. tt's stupid." I'm sure mani had tt tot in their head. After sum time, i decided to step out in faith.. n went dwn the water wif them. It's realli sth tt struck me. If i'm nt willing to do such a simple thing, how dare i tok abt running the race together? I started to asking arnd.. whether they r willing to do dwn wif them. Sum shunned.. but ltr all went dwn.. sum reluctantly. Bt still.. we went dwn the water. In the water.. Andrew started telling us sth. Hey, u guys try swimming as far as u could.. we started gg deeper. then he told us to look back. N he said, u guys realised sth? we r nt FAR from shore at all? no matter how far we tot we are, we r still near to the shore! IT just shows tt we r realli nt trying hard enuff!!! Tt shook me.. N changed me.
Shall continue tis entry after dinner. Post first for the benefits of those who waiting to read tis.
