And God often chose the "fool" in order to shame the "wise", in order to show his glory

All happens because of the anointing of God.

1 Samuel 16:13 (NIV)
So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah.

You'll noticed that David changed from being a simple shepherd boy to having Kingship quality in administration and leadership. He didn't acquire that by mere self effort.

Same with Moses.

All as enabled by God and the saying is true, God will not call you to do something without enabling / providing you to do it. They became who they are because of God.

Yes this showing of Glory is something that help us understand God is for the destitute and unwanted; not to show off God just like that as how sceptics might think.

And another reason is to magnify God's Grace. Meaning Moses is basically represents you and I. God delights in choosing unqualified as well as qualified people, He does not have prejudice.

The world only expect the best to be on top, the fastest, the smartest, the strongest, etc etc not so with God. God can enable anyone as long as they are willing.

Yes

Wah ini newspaper clip where is it from? It's so honest, people need to see more of these.

I found that from my friend's Likes in FB.

And why I like it, is because it's 100% scriptural correct.

That is what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth.

To be honest before God in our live that we don't have it all together and yet

recognizing despite of our failings, God has remove all the condemnation and judged it finished and complete at the Cross.

In that sense, when we come before God, ALWAYS recognize it's because of Jesus's Blood, NEVER our ACT of obedience that qualify us to be in his presence.

And God wants us to be confident of that Grace. The Bible says Come Boldly to his throne of grace....

yes..yes..yes lol

Yeah RIP.

Oh I watched it last night. You are right. CGI was horrible.

I read about King Solomon. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

Eventhough God was angry with him, but for the sake of David, God did not entirely destroy his kingdom.

Because 1 chosen tribe of Solomon's son was going to be the descendant line of Jesus.

Did I get it right?

Actually God is just using the failures of Man to magnify his Grace. That is the point, not so much for David's Sake but for his only begotten Son's Sake, Jesus who personify Grace.

If you study the Bible; in the linage of Jesus Christ, God uses people who have stigma of Sin for his Son to come through. Why is it, God never uses more honorable people who are of integrity.

One of the Linage was a prostitute another was because of Lust, and Murder.

I don't see tithing that way. When I give, I don't give it to the Church. I give as an act of worship to God because if it wasn't for God, I would have no income.

When we understand whatever remuneration, first came from God, you'll understand too the 10% never belongs to us in the first place. So when we give, we need to understand we're not contributing to any Church organization or to the staff working there.

I believe we need to have this holistic mindset when we tithe. When I tithe, I just pray a simple prayer, saying God, this belongs to you, I tithe because I believe in you and what you say.

With that being said; I leave it to the Church to handle the finance. I don't worry about it because they will have to answer for it if it's abuse, God is not blind.

You've been the treasurer for DUMC?

Bible Study

YOU WILL FIND HIM!

Deuteronomy 4:29 (NIV) - But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.

This is a promise from God since from the times of Old till today, it stands offered to everyone, that if you would seek Him with everything you got, you will definitely find him. You don't need any scientific apparatus to discover God. You don't need to go through complex processes. You don't need to have superior intellectual capabilities above others to discover Him.

God has not made it difficult but has made it simple, you just have to seek with all your heart. God make things simple and yet Man wants to complicate things, the vanity of Man.

There are many people out there seeking God but unable to make that contact point. There are Christians as well, who religiously comes to Church, even pray but have not really seek God with all their heart and thus only see God from afar.

Let's get down to business. What does it mean to seek God with all your heart?

Does it mean I have to live religiously righteously and never make any mistakes or sin then only I will find him? We have that from the Pharisees and it didn't work.

No. Though that is something in process of change but God does not want superficial religion from you. God wants personal relationship. Why? So that you know Him.

To seek God with all your heart is to treat God real and come to Him in everything that you do, whether you have a good day or a bad day, you come to God and communicate to Him like a real person, pouring out your heart in all honesty. And it's daily. That's it. When you do that on a daily basis, you will start to see God day by day working, moving and answering you in your life. See when you do your part which is to act in Faith, God will do his part and reveal himself to you. When you keep doing this consistently, the problem of doubt dissipates day by day.

It is not this; trying to be holy, this striving and struggling, beating your chest, confessing till you're blue in the face at the altar. People can do that for a show and go away unchanged.

Dear Friends, let us seek God with all our heart, with all simple honesty, to seek God in a real relationship. not half hearted superficial seeking. As One who seeks God because you know He is real.

When you treat God as real, it pleases God because that is Faith. When God is pleased, His face and countenance shines on you.

God Bless.
