Courage

In life, there are points where we are to make choices, to make plans, to decide our directions. The critical question here is whether you have the courage to conquer the anxiety of our heart to proceed with the choices with no doubts.

Proverbs 19:21

“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”

In Subang Rally 2009, I learned that purpose is more important than plans, more powerful than plans and exists before plans are even made. It is important to know WHO WE ARE before we can know WHAT TO DO. (A big hand of applause to the moderators of the subang rally webpage to put the sermons into notes) For anyone who is interested in visiting the official webpage, please click here)

Courage is of great importance when we yield to make a difference, to make a change, and even to live our days! Millions of thousands of people out there in the world face an issue receiving the adequate amount of courage to make that crucial step. Opportunities are everywhere in this world, the problem is whether you have the courage to grab it and not to let it vanish.

As Christians, we look upon God for our direction, we desire the confirmation before taking an act, BUT, wait a minute, how many of you out there have the courage to do as He commands?

Again in subang rally 2009, I heard a story of this 15 years old girl who went up to her guru discipline (Malay) and ask her if she could be of any help (purely based on God’s calling) and despite a “NO” from the guru discipline, she had been a blessing to her. I don’t really remember the details but in the end, the guru discipline agrees to make official the school’s CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP with just full credits in SPM.

The message sent to me is just like what pastor Andy said, it is not utopian, and examples need not to be drawn from distant nations like the U.S. but just around us. The courage of the 15 year old girl to obey God’s calling made a difference, can we do something similar?

And for non-Christian readers of this blog, I would just want to bless you guys and totally appreciate the care to even bare to read it. THANK YOU!!!!!

If you’re those in a phrase of deciding whether to believe or in certain areas unconvinced, I just pray for God to give you the courage to speak with Him, and pray that God will sent his Holy Spirit to guide you into living a life with Him. It takes minutes to receive Him, but it takes a life long journey to learn, understand and try to be like Him.

If you’re those who is persistent not to believe or for any reason unable to take this step, I pray that God will take away spiritual blindness that is casted among you, and that He will still bless your lives throughout until the time that you have the courage to proceed into taking another step to understand.

For my fellow Christian bros and sis out there, I pray that God gives us the strength to obey His commands; I pray that we will go our limits to reach to even that one unsaved soul! I pray for mutual bonding among us, even if we’re far apart, and that together we can change the world, because I am convinced that a Christian world would be a better place to live in. In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN!
