My exhortation.

Hi all,

Today I read the bible and have a thou over it.

1 Thessalonians 5 : 14 to 22;

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.


These verse explain to me that this is the true way to be a Good Christian.

This remind me of a friend which I tried so hard to keep the relationship yet time after time, he stabbed me on my back...

then there was once I really felt painful and I wanted to let him taste of his own medication. but immediately this verse came to me during my qt...


See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone;
do not return evil with evil


hold fast what is good;
if you think you did not do it, why did you feel misjudge.


and lastly;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you;

Knowing his existance is something God had planted in you to overcome it and win it!

Which path is the right path?

Hi,

2 post ago, I was in the topic of Attitude and Decision, so what is the things we are required before we know what we are doing (attitude and decision) is correct.

then God came to me with this verse when I was praying one night.....

Gen 17: 1 "I'm God almighty, walk before me and be blameless."

The word "Walk before me and be blameless" got me thinking....
How do we walk before God? took me awhile till I came to realise it during lunch....
I was walking to foodcourt for lunch then however today my friend wasn't with me...
But I reaches the foodcourt without my friends with me.

This give me some understanding of the verse;
To walk before God we need 3things;
1) hungry and desire (Dreams and vision)
- Like going for lunch, you are hungry and you knows what you want to eat, and you lead off heading to the direction of your food/foodcourt having the same flow with your colleague which have the same flow in your mind.
Likewise walking before God, we must know the vision of our God had for us... This is done by reading the word of God, and keeping it in mind...
2) knowing what is behind you
- After knowing what you need(food), next you will need to know where to find them (FoodCourt)..
knowing what behind you also means that what are the things you had... information and experience...
In life, wrong path may not be wrong totally, it also can be see as a way to help you making the right path the next time round.
and everytime the road that people had walk you through is an experience for you to remember it.
3) Always turn back and ask!
With God always behind you, he will answer your question if you are lost.... always look back and check your information if it is correct. gather all the information and exp before you keep walking again.


This week, the 3point helps me in my career advancement, I learn for example, before any meeting, I will read up the meeting document knowing the objective of the meeting(point 1), then before the meeting I will need to know all the information I needed, and gather all my experience I had before.. do not only trust either 1...(point 2) lastly, when I met any situation I had no idea with, I will asked others for a suggestion(point 3). so that it will lead me to the correct path. I know sometimes I still get it wrong, but I'm still learning and I know one day the path will just be right...
