.: Is Jesus Lord of our Life? :.
" And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in everyway: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light" Col 1: 10-12
The key verse which Pastor Khong ended the LN1728 meeting yesterday was to tell us to Walk Worthly of God : worthy of God in His calling, His grace, His blessing, His giftings on us and also His salvation plan for us. The Question which would follow is then How do we walk a life worthly of God? As it was being mentioned, we live a life worthy of God that may plesae him in everyway, in all circumstance and through all obstacles. We should walk this journey with God in such a way that we love God so much, that our only passion is to please Him! Just like what was mentioned about loving Jesus and serving Jesus, we should place Jesus as number one in all that we do.
Hence the final question is Is Jesus the Lord of our life? Has something else, someone else, taken over that rightful throne in our life? Have we been guilty of spending a great deal of our energies, time, money and resources on ourselves? Have we magnified our own needs beyond proportion, hence we have forgotten to care for others. Come before the throne of God now to confess your them and ask for forgiveness. But then again it might have been the hustle and business of life which we are in that make us replace Jesus being the Lord of our life.
Even as I poundered through all these, I realised that I can truely say that Jesus has yet to be the Lord of my life, especially in every area and at times I do not do things with the only desire to please Him, but to also please men and to please myself. It will be a constant reminded and renewing of mind for myself to really enthrone and place God above all things and I only live to please Him.
Just like the prayer we made as we kneel down as a body, that we do not want our family, do not want our work, do not want our relationship, our ministry our own desires, and the things of this world, money, fame, name, but just want to live a life that pleases God!
Daughters lets work towards living a life that we can say, Jesus is the Lord of our Life!!! :P
