Why am I blogging bout all this? Its not for you, no offence, but more for me. I feel that each time I go to service or hear a preaching, I need to review what God has said to me. So that I'll learn from it, and apply it to my life.
Oh just rmbed, the title of his message is Dead Dogs seatings on the dining table if im not wrong lols.
Last week, Pastor David Doery from Bridge Church in Richmond Australia, preached as a guest speaker. Wonderful, impact full message. He wasn't boring, as in, his voice was not mono, and the jokes were good.The message, most importantly. So Pastor Doery preached about living a Christian life that was boring, even though it was filled with prayer, Bible reading, and going to church. Reason why it was boring was because that person didn't serve. Another way to say it more understandably, is that we're not engaging in the church. I loved how he used the word engaged. btw, 2 words that was imprinted into my head that he used was engaged and rescuers.
He goes deeper into what he means, and explains how a Christian should serve and when they gave their time to God, their workplace and life will follow after. Like, we think that we don't have time, but if we gave time our other stuff will fall in place. Thats awesome for those who don't serve.
Then he goes into the subject of serving and not for ourselves but for God. Being rescuers.
He uses the example of the Titanic. And how when the titanic was sinking, there were only 20 lifeboats. Only, if I'm not mistaken, 200 people were saved from the 1000+(my numbers are utterly wrong for sure.) Anyways the fact is that only a few were saved, and the reason was that not because the lifeboats did not have space but because then people that were in the lifeboats were already "satisfied" with saving themselves, they were afraid that their lifeboats would sink or get sucked in by the sinking of the Titanic. *Okay, he really made it important that we got this. That they were only satisfied with saving themselves and the little they had* Only 2 boats out of the 20(10%) went back to try to save more people.
His point was, we must not be satisfied with what they had like the 90% of lifeboats but be rescuers like the 10% who went back. And gosh, I was like "I WANNA BE A RESCUER!!!!!" It was so impact full to me. Because my life was so boring, and monday (is it monday? its some word that sounds like that) and I was wondering, why? why is it so boring?. I just studied, eat sleep, routine. day after day, and at one point I was like, I'm so lazy to go to church its just not speaking to me.
Anyways God spoke really clearly to me, I guess at the brink of everything falling apart, God comes and saves me. After all this years of filling myself with all the worldly things it finally just became boring and nothing to me. Life changing, Life changing. I wanted to get out of the boringness and make it fun and enjoyable. After I heard Pastor Doery, I found out why my life was so boring was because I didn't have God. Man, I was like on fire burning like oil. Wanting to go home and just pray my heart out. Owh just remembered, Pastor Doery also said that when we pray it shouldn't be all about me me me, but when we pray always try to pray for others more.
So after that service, I felt good. I prayed that night like one of the longest prayer I had by myself, praying for God to help me in every area of my life, for His help, but most importantly for Him to be working in every aspect of me. I didn't wanna lose out in my studies, life, etc, so I prayed that He'd helped me in everything I could think of, everything lol. And it has been 5 days I have prayed consistently each night, which is awesome. Its hard to pray, but I have this thought that if I don't pray I might not be able to get through the next day alone. God makes my hardships easier.
Walau testimony. Anyways okies this is reviewed nicely.
Then one more on todays workshop, Pastor Mark. Really need to review that for sure.
Guess I'll do it now. Then tml got the workshop again, man I pray that I hope I get to be 1 on 1 with Paradise band's bassist, I mean that would be sad if I was him conducting the workshop, but hey for me thats really awesome then I get to learn all I want. yes better pray i get 1 on1 =P, selfish =P.
Hmmm if I review like this each week that would be good. Then I should take notes! =D then its like posting the whole message here lols. well in a way thats good, then other people could read it and be blessed. HMMM!!!!!!!! okies this is done, damm stomach ache =/, ill post the next one now.
