The night before, I read the newspaper just before i did my TAWG (Time Alone With God).When i was reading the part about the lady who died in Mumbai,i suddenly remembered what i read in Ken Seah's blog :
"Father I ask that Lord, you will open up the eyes of all the Ignyters that they must know that the world is ending, incidents like these happens very often, and You are coming back Lord."
And this came as a reminder for me that "Jesus is coming back !!! There is not much time left." So i started to do my TAWG seriously and even started to read the weekly bulletins that i have received for the past one year.How time flies ,it has been 1 year since i first came to my church. For each weekly bulletin,there will always be a section called the Pastor 's pen. The two verses that spoke to me are
John 15:5
Jesus tells us,"I am the vine,you are the branches.If a man remains in Me and I in Him,he will bear much fruit;apart from Me,you can do nothing."
This verse tells us how important it is to walk closely with Jesus,each and everyday of our lives.
Just like what the pastor illustrate in his example:
Running partners need to stay close and pace with one another.You would not be a very good running partner if you sprint way ahead without mutual agreement or choose to lag behind.
This is the same with our relationship with God.
The moment we distant from God,we have either chosen to sprint ahead by doing our own things at our own pace or chosen not to keep pace with God.
The second verse is Galatians 5:25
"Since we live by the Spirit,let us keep in step with the Spirit."
So for this coming Christmas,let us remember the REASON for this Christmas ,to know Jesus and to live a life in Him.
And do remember that, "
JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON !!!"
