Reflection from John's message on Fri and Sun

1 Tim 1 :18- .... so that by following them you may fight the good fight, holding on to fatih and a good conscience....

1) Fight the good fight.

I need to fight the right fight, spiritual fight and not small petty worldly things ... like how ppt will think of me... will they listen if i tell them the truth,,, will they don't like me...

I just need to decide to fight for their souls and get them right with God. Not only for friends in world but also christian in the church.



2) Dont' get shipwreck

1 Tim1: 19... some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith.

I'm convicted! This give me a great alarm! A wake up bang too! My faith will get shipwreck if I'm not careful!

I need and must be humble and open about my sins and struggle. Not only open but must be humble to get help and discipling, so that nothing will shepwreck my faith.

I know alot ppt, because of lack of opening and humility to change, they got bitter and prideful and faithless in God. and they left the church and God.


DO I RUN AFTER DISCIPLING AND TAKING INPUT IN MY LIFE?


3) Practise and purge as we seek God

2 chron 34:1-8

Josiah practised as he went along in life.
I got to keep seeking God till the day I die.
But at same time I need to purge along the way.
There is power when we pracitse, DO IT!
We can be intelligent but spiritually dull.

I think I'm spiritual dull, cos i dont' have great faith like Josiah doing what is right despite anything!

I'm so convicted about this point too..
I need to purge my negative thoughts, lack of faith, selfishness, loving the lost and christians and leave my comfort zone.!

There're other points which are also good for me, but i guess i need to stop here for today...

Luv,
veron
