Audio sermon - How big is your God?

Was cutting my nails... For the first time in 3 years (estimate) I took my own sweet time to cut the nails in nice ovals... Then it struck me.. for three long years.. I was so busy trying to contribute to my taekwondo club that I had no time to look after myself adequately.. Started to look hagard and distasteful.. no boys were after me.. sad.. and after all that sacrifise.. I was still chased out.. go figure...

Due to training every sunday.. I am unable to attend church service... however... I have asked my sister to purchase the recording for the previous week's sermon every time I am unable to attend church..

The audio sermon was about.. how big is your God? It speaks about the feeding of the multitudes... how a meagre amount of fish and bread was able to feed 5000 men not including the women and children... Philip (a disciple of Jesus) said that it was impossible to feed so much people and that Jesus should stop preaching and allow them to go and feed themselves.. but Jesus had other plans.. he broke the bread and fish offering of a particular child and managed to feed all the people with 12 basket fulls of leftovers...

The moral of the story.. if you are christian... the rules are different for you.. you are NOT of this world.. you don't have to operate based on the limitations of the world.. Jesus is able to work supernaturally to exceed all your expectations and give you more than you ask for... more than you thought possible...

So.. you got to stop being a Philip and judging God based on worldy principles.. Have a good opinion of God and start believing that God can provide over and abundantly for you.... he will give you all that you need and more... it is easy to write such things when you are me (free enough to take time to cut my nails into nice ovals)...

But this message is meant for all of you out there with areas in your life that you are struggling with.. whether it is in your job.. your hobby.. your relationships.. trying hard to forgive someone.. just remember that God is able.. Nothing is impossible.. if you think it is impossible to forgive this particular so and so.. just commit the matter to God.. leave it to him.. see it nailed to the cross.. walk away from the problem.. let God settle it... I mean.. seriously.. if you have tried so many times and failed... its about time you start trusting God... and if the problem is so big God can't solve it.. then what makes you think you can.. so just leave it alone.. stop probing and probing and making it worse..

Was at ballet just now.. Have been feeling quit shitty at ballet lately... With my knee aches and back pain from training too hard (6 days a week)... I started to convince myself that I am too old for this.. I should quit ballet.. it doesn't do me any good..

Glad that I heard this sermon.. I believe that God will make a way.. he is healing.. All my injuries are healed in Jesus name... my youth is renewed like the eagles.. All I have to do is trust God... and just leave this matter to him.. don't just quit like that.. I feel there is a purpose for me in ballet.. I might not know it yet.. but God works in miraculous ways to bring you to the precise spot at the perfect time equip with all the wisdom.. knowledge and enthusiasm to do his good works..

So I am a happy chess piece of God.. since I have no real control of my circumstances (as seen from the fact that i was forced to leave my old club)... I might as well be a happy and relaxed chess piece.. afterall.. however much I struggle.. I can only be moved by God for his purpose.. so.. I should just stop struggling and enjoy life like a rollercoaster ride.. *chess piece isn't a good analogy.. remember this.. God has a good plan for all of us.. not like chess pieces really... chess pieces can be sacrifised now and then to save the king and queen.. but we are INDISPENSIBLE in this eyes of God.. importantly enough to sacrifise God's son in order to redeem. =)

I am praying that God heals me of all my injuries and allow me to practise and taekwondo to the best of my ability.. most importantly to keep my spirits up.. to keep me positive and trusting in the LORD especially in the face of adversity...

Sometimes.. the bitterness of one's heart.. only one can enjoy (from the bible proverbs).. no matter how aptly I describe my fears and thoughts.. it is impossible to make you really understand it.. similarly.. I cannot understand your fears and thoughts.. but God can.. Jesus can.. he understands you perfectly because he was himself a man and he was tempted and abused in all the ways imaginable... he will understand you.. so if you ever need a confidant.. turn to Jesus..

Sounds sad right? Turning to a 'make belief' person.. It really is not... You got to try it to understand it.. and read the bible to understand Jesus more.. understand God's purpose more.. afterall... we are all sheep of God.. the only difference is whether we have been found by Jesus or not.. =)
