Have we, as Christians, re-evaluate our relationship with Christ? Many a times, we didn’t know or didn’t realise that the lifestyle we lead is pulling us apart from God. Or that the things of this world, aka Idols, take God’s place in our hearts instead of Christ. Sometimes, we think that God’s presence is with us whilst in reality, it’s NOT due to the fact that we continue to live a sinful lifestyle or we allow Idols to take the place of Christ in our hearts.

Why am I blogging about this? Let me tell you a secret. The past 2 months has been really low for me, especially my spiritual walk with Christ. I’ve been having problems praying and reading God’s Word. When I pray I tend to lose my focus and my mind drifts somewhere else, or the Bible seems to be just another mere story book, instead of God speaking to me through His Word. This issue seems to be bugging me and I was so discouraged spiritually that I came to fear that I would fall away.

Well thank the LORD, Pastor David Goh came today and gave us a huge wake up call. As usual, being the man he is, he delivered his God-inspired sermon straight-to-the-point. Though unpleasent it may sound, I was happy because I felt God speaking directly to me. In his message, he shared that Jesus is after our heart, that He wants to change us, our heart. If we allow Him to. (On a funny note, we always think that Pastor Rennie steps on people’s foot, but Pastor David steps on people’s head!) I like speakers who are straight-forward and uncompromising. Though unpleasant it may sound, as long as it is meant to correct us, I’m find with it.

Also, he stated that if we Christians, if we don’t hunger and thirst for Christ, we will naturally hunger and thirst for the things of this World. He also states that we are living in the Last Days and that in the Last Days, there will be a great shaking in the Church and it is meant to purify His Church. Those who remain will be overcomers. ‘The remnant will be saved’.

So to my brothers and sisters-in-Christ, once saved is NOT always saved. We as His disciples must set our hearts right before Him and let God change our hearts. So I urge you all to start thinking seriously and re-evaluate our relationship with God. Don’t only experience God but also allow Him to change our hearts. Use the life that God gave us for His Glory!

Life is like a coin, you can spend it in anyways you want, but you can only spend it once.
