Flying High

Flying high

I had coffee this week with my twin named Don, we aren’t really twins nor are we even related; but we did used to look alike before and I guess that’s where the title of us being twins emerged. We learnt a lot from each other, but overall I figured out something; that everyone in the world has their own battles and situations to face, but it’s your decision in that  certain situation that will ultimately shape your life. So make the right choice and if you’re unsure which is the right choice to make then simply ask God. I’m 110% sure he will give you the answer your looking for and it’ll always be the correct one!

 

JEREMIAH 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

 

According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, there are 6,792,112,816 (12:53 GMT (EST+5) Oct 22, 2009) people on earth and your obviously part of that 10 digits long numeral. Are you simply living your life following that crowd or are you making a difference in this Generation? To glorify God and his magnificence!

There’s one thing about me and it’s that I’m a pusher; I like to push people beyond their limits. This is both a good thing and a bad, before I would push certain people in telling me the truth about themselves but I’m slowly realising that I shouldn’t seek for true facts from people, but seek truth in Gods’ word and I do. What he does is amazing and I was just so blind to see it before.

 

Let me tell you a story of how Gods power and glory can be seen and reflected through a lady.

 

     A father of a daughter is desperate for some cash to support his family. His broke due to the global financial crisis. He doesn’t know how he can find way get money, and desperate times call for desperate measures. So one day he decides to obtain a gun so that he could rob a helpless lady at work whom he sees working by herself. He puts his hood over his head, walks in with the gun raised high, points and makes threats. The lady immediately steps backs and later on starts to cry due to the situation taking place. But instead of praying silently to herself for God to protect her, she prayed for the robber! The robber comforts her and hugs her to calm her nerves; she then talks to him about God and as he falls to his knees to ask God to help him over come his hardships, she prays for him. He slowly takes the only bullet in his gun and gives it to the lady. After realising he has to get out before the police arrive, he takes only what he needs to survive for the day and leaves with a change in his life. The next day he gave himself in.

 

This is God’s glory and power in action! He can be in the most random location where you never thought he’d show up but he always will without fail.

 

This is also a true story and here is the link to watch how amazing God is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJCq90OwprA&feature=related

 

                                                                            

How incredible, if you where in that situation would you just think for your self and ask God for protection? Or would you make a difference in another person’s life? Which he obviously needed a change of direction and purpose. Will you be the reason that someone changes their perspective of the worldly life and seeks a life of serving God with joy?

 

Someone pointed out to me that I had hit rock bottom and when I did they only thing left to do was to look up and elevate; now I’m flying high. I came to realise that I actually did hit rock bottom prior to SOS, I did not have God in my life and there was a point where I pushed him so far that I didn’t even know. But now that someone gave me the opportunity to receive Jesus Christ in my life, I can say that I love him and the affects he has upon my life. It’s both GREAT and hard to be a Christian, so if you say you are one, mean it. After wasting 6 years not knowing what it takes to be a Christian who loves God I’m slowly learning and trying to change. Don’t expect people who say they’ve change to be perfect because no one is expect Jesus. We ALL fall short of God but by picking ourselves up after the fall and not making the same mistakes again, that difference between the old you and the better you.
