Think about what you are thinking about

2007-11-10T06:23:00.000-08:00

It is very beneficial to think about God's Word. The more time a person spends meditating on the Word, the more he will reap from the Word.

Be Careful what you think Mark 4:24
The more time we spend thinking about the Word, we will get from the Word of God what we put into it.
However, the truth is that I really don't put much effort of their own into the study of the Word. I may listen to the sermons occasionally yet I seldom dedicate to making the Word a major part of my lives, including thinking about it.
Prov 4:20
It says that we must spend time thinking about it and remember "Practice make perfect"? we really do not expect to be expert at anything in life without a lot of practice, so why would I still expect Christianity to be different.

Eph 2:3
Paul warn us here that we are not to be governed by our sensual nature to obey the impulses of flash.
Although I'm Christian, but I am always overwhelmed my mind with a mess and hardly think positively. I had not learned to control my thinking seriously. Having been listening so much the word of God, but not always take those words into my life into practice. My mind is the important site of the battlefield to the victory and God's word is the most important element to win the war.

Think on these things Phil 4:8
Our thoughts certainly affect one attitudes and moods. Everything the Lord tells us is for our own good. He knows what will make us happy and miserable, and the person is full of wrong thoughts he is miserable, he usually makes the others miserable also.
For many times, when I came across misery , I would blame someone or the circumstance. Until I faced the truth , which was that none of these make me unhappy if I chose to have the right attitude. My thoughts were what was making me miserable.

Finally remember this " Think about what you are thinking about. You may locate some of your problmes and be on your way to freedom very quickly.

Be positive

2007-10-25T07:44:00.000-07:00

Positive minds produce positive lives. Negative minds produce negative lives.

Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope.

Negative thoughts are always full of fear and doubt.

Some people are afraid to hope because they have been hurt so much in life. They have had so many disappointments, they dont think they can face the pain of another one like me. Therefore, they refuse to hope so they wont be disappointed.

This avoidance of hope is a type of protection against being hurt. Disappointment hurts! So rather than be hurt again, many people simply refuse to hope or to believe that anything good will ever happen to them. This type of behavior sets up a negative lifestyle. Someone asked me if breakup, separation could hurt you, would you still try to searching for love. But I guess my answer is revealed within my title, I dont want to live a life with fear. I was a person who think ” if you didnt expect anything happen, you wont be disappointed when it doesnt”. After I become a Christian, I found out God is Love, God has a prefect plan for me which may involve lots of challenge and I believe everything happens has its purpose and under His control. Roman 8:28

Sometimes I could feel my emotion getting upset with the situation as you dont get what you want, our feelings will rise up and try to get us into self-pity and a negative thought. I got to recognise that I have a choice to make : be “+” or “-” to the situation.

I realized that even a person who is really positive wont have everything work out the way he would like it to all the time. But the positive person can go ahead and decide to enjoy himself no matter what happens. The negative person never enjoys anything, they always seems to spot the one thing that could be a potential problem.

Be an examplery leader

How learn to be a leader of example

Being a good example is a long lasting investment

1. Need for discipler - the need for making people who make disciple

young believer need guidance of God Jn 8:31 Lk 9:23 Jn 13:34-35
telling is not teaching , listening is not learning

4 steps

tell him what and why
to show him how
help him get started
help him keep going
2. The need for pattern
1 Jn 2:6
3. Show them the need for continuing example
1 Pet 2 :21
Prov 27:17
by who he is ,not what he said
4. need to know how
there is not short cut in discipleship we need to be continuous example

Leadership

2007-09-27T04:48:00.000-07:00

1. Position - real leader dont need position to need, people will follow although they are not obliged to.

Boss drives people to work, leader train people (boss say "go" , leader say "let's go")
Boss requests people to work, leader do it together
Boss inspires fear , leader inspire enthusiasm and passion

Leader poses security on God not on the position itself.

Greater position requires greater humility

2.Permission - they are willing to follow you

3. Production - How we grow people
If not productive that means problems maybe in their side or in our side

Always show confidence in God that God will make the way for it.

4.People development - do you train people to

success without successor is a failure

How Jesus develop people .

Heb 1:1-3
Jesus is superior than any angel and any prophet .
Jesus is the radiance of God so He is God himself.
Jesus is the image of God, through Him we can see "the image of invisible God" (Jn 14:9)
(v.3) The universe came together in order not by chance but by God power and the son hold it together the created order perserving it from destruction until the day he come.

Last night I was waiting for people outside the house and looking at the moon ,suddenly my mind came out a thought that I felt so tired of talking alone if you are real please show me something to secure my heart. Where were you when I was talking to YOU, are you listening to me. Sometimes I found hard to trust you when I told people my God is real, yet I have not seen HIM and not truly experienced HIM. God Are you real ? Are you listening to my prayer ??
One thing I miss out is Jesus, He just come not long time ago to the world to show us the master of the universe, our Almighty God, King of the King. Ya, that's Jesus . Jesus is something telling me that the manual of the life and make my "invisible God" to be visible.
