In the month of May, I was reading the book of Joshua and one thing really stood out to me. In Joshua 7, a man named Achan did something bad. Basically, God had given Jericho to the Israelites but He told them explicitly and clearly not to take any accursed item from Jericho. Achan did exactly the opposite. Achan’s sin separated the entire Israelite community from God.

Why?

The item Achan picked up was accursed (carried a curse) so it rendered the people impure. God is pure and holy and He can only dwell and move in the midst of holiness. Moving forward, when the Israelites found out that Achan had this item, they stoned him and his family and burnt both the people and all his possessions.

Someone might think this is extreme and what about the mercy of God and so on.

Okay, God is merciful, yes, but the Israelites were bound by a covenant to the Lord and God had explicitly stated what to do and what not to do. When you’re in a covenant there’s a greater responsibility to remain faithful. There’s much more to understanding covenants and why sometimes people have “greater” punishments but that’ll be for a later message.

Anyways back to our main focus for today, just like Achan, many of us have blatantly done what God frowns upon but we do not term these as “sins” or “ disobedience to God” so we ignore them. But God doesn’t and what this does is that it prevents the Holy Spirit of God from dwelling in us. As a Christian, the Holy Spirit must dwell within us to be our ultimate helper. Therefore, we must make an intentional effort to make Him comfortable. Just like the Israelites, we must aggressively (lol might be too harsh of a word but you get it) rid ourselves of impurities. We must intentionally say no to sin and no to the flesh because we cannot afford to lose the Holy Spirit. We cannot afford to lose intimacy with the Holy Ghost. In the same way a fish needs water to survive, you need fellowship with the Holy Spirit. You are a Christian, a follower of Christ. The Holy Spirit completely consumed Christ and so He should do the same with you and me.

From today, let’s kindly make the effort to make the Holy Spirit comfortable by aggressively taking away those impure parts that prevent us from going deeper in the realms of the spirit. If you do not know what might make you impure, ask the Lord to reveal it to you :)

One night, probably at dawn, I quickly woke up and my heart was racing. The only things running through my mind were "the rapture is soon and many are not born again", "Jesus is returning very soon and people are not fully surrendered to the Lord". I was so scared and it kind of felt as though the rapture had happened but it obviously hadn't happened because I was still on earth but I just felt so uneasy. I am now understanding that it was the Lord burdening me with the fact that there are many lost souls. Christ is coming so soon and I don’t think we understand how soon He’s coming. We are always telling people to evangelize more and that’s great but this message is not necessarily for that. Today I want to talk to those who are living double lives, those who know the truth but are intentionally disobeying the Lord and satisfying the desires of the flesh. When rapture happens, I don’t want anyone regretting. Knowing the truth and not following it won’t be easy at the end. I’m pleading with all those who fall into the category of being lukewarm to shine your eyes. This is not a joke and now more than ever eternity seems closer than ever. Your eternal destination depends on how you live your life here.

This is not to scare but to remind you of the truth. Scripture says what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul (Mark 8:36). Stop chasing after these fleeting things and seek the King of Kings. Don’t miss the rapture, the Lord is calling His children back to Him. Like the prodigal son, it is time to turn to the Father.

And when it comes to seeking the Lord, it is not necessarily about cutting a,b, and c off but intentionally seeking His face. It is you trying to understand who God is and who He is to you.

I pray the Holy Spirit reveals to you the urgency of your eternal destination and reveals to you how precious it is to be intimate with the Lord.

Simple thoughts pt.5

I remember the day I realised I was sinner and I needed Jesus. What a moment that was! When I was faced with the undeniable truth. What made the moment more memorable was encountering the love of God, coming face to face with the manifestation of God’s love, Jesus Christ. I came to understand that I was finally fulfilling my purpose, to be in communion with my creator and I had never felt so complete. Being at His feet is where I belong and beholding His beauty is all I want to do all the days of my life.

Reminiscing on that moment when I said yes to Jesus brings me unexplainable joy because that is the day I changed my life for the better, for “the best” in fact.

He won my heart, He picked me up, and that’s why I’ve given my everything to Him. He’s freed me and transformed my life so I lay down my life for His glory. And so should you. Christ came to die for me and you and realising this changes your life.

We chase after fleeting desires and are never satisfied. But my oh my, Jesus satisfies like no other. He fills my heart and makes me content even when everything is empty. With Him, I am complete and don’t need anything because He is my everything.
