Being Somebody - April 13, 2009

Out of an expectation that I will post this kind of topic, just because I recall who I used to be, where I used to live. But in God's grace, Amen, I am able and have the capacity to post this title, Being Somebody.

People often loves to think that how they hope to be somebody. Like fans of Jay Chou hopes to sing like him; fans of a rock band hopes to play like the band or etc. This kind of attitude is good and correct in this generation, just because young people will improve themselves by this.

Some other people may thought this is a negative attitude which is so called "copy-cat". Well but I don't think so. In the bible, Elishah learns Elijah, Joshua learns Moses, them both inherit the greatness of their leader and their ideal model and in the end, them both achieve a higher standard or level than their leader had achieved. Then the other benefit for being a follower is, they can polish the bad things or negative image or attitude which their leader had. Then finally not only they can be like how their leader is, and also greater than their leader used to be!

While I was reading the bible few moments ago, I read a chapter 11 in one of the 4 gospels, it was saying that if the city yet to repent, the city will be in trouble. After reading that, I asked God, how to repent? God answered me, "I will raise up watchmen for this city and you, Paul, you must pray and repent for this city before me."
Then I think, oh yeah, both Cindy Jacobs and Jaeson Ma was doing the same thing, which is they're willing to answer God's calling and obey the commands, then finally the place they was prayed are being saved by God! Amen! Let's me feels that I want to be like them and I want be achieve more than them! Like Pastor Philip Mantofa, he had great faith on God until he can bring up a great revival in Surabaya, Indonesia. I believe with the faith that God has given in me, revival will come into Malaysia.

I believe this post is for whom has ears and had heard to receive. Buddies always thought that I am being too holy sometimes or too into the spiritual man (属灵）, well I admit sometimes I am, because why? If you want to be somebody, you must think like somebody. If I wants to be a youth pastor, I have to think like a youth pastor! Amen!
