Forsaking the Lord

Forsake God then suffer the consequences of forsaking Him, but if you have faith in Him that is developing and growing, you will rejoice in His love and grace.

There are many ways of forsaking God and it was done before and is still being done by the people of this world up until today.

TO FORSAKE GOD:
  • Committing sin  (Jeremiah 2:13)
"My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."

You forsake God by trusting on your own and building your own foundation of faith that are not strong enough to sustain the state of being strong spiritually, physically and mentally.

  • Worshiping other gods/Worshiping idols  (Jeremiah 2:28)
"Where then are the gods that you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in  trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah."

Worshiping idols will lead to nothing! Only the Almighty God can save you in times of trouble and help you when you are in need. Can a god that is not even real, save you from danger, trouble or a sudden attack? NO. Only the true and Living God can save you from the depths of hell and still make you His son/daughter and write your name in "The Book of Life."

REBUKING (Jeremiah 2:17)
"Have you not brought this on yourselves by forsaking the Lord your God when He led you in the way?"

MERCY AND CORRECTION (Jeremiah 2:19)
"Your wickedness will punish you; Your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how bitter it is and evil for  you when you forsake the Lord your God and have no awe of me," = LOVE
                                             declares the Lord
                                            the Lord Almighty.

Don't ever try to forsake the Lord for He is the Almighty God who is angry yet merciful and abounding in love. In every sin and mistake that you do, there is rebuking and correction. All of this is because of LOVE, love that has no condition and love that is undeserved, undefined and mostly the perfect love that nobody else can give.

JUDGEMENT and HOPE: The Ending

The world is full of people who are blinded by ignorance. Each person is continuing to pursue his or her own imagination, continually they are provoking God. The people of this world, rely on their own and they are being servants to this world, being sucked in to this world full of worldly things and the works of the enemy.


-JUDGEMENT-
The Lord's wrath is not like any other. Truly "sin" is a bad situation and needs to be ceased. To sin is not a joke. Sin has a bad consequence ... The eternal fire burning you forever until you cry for repentance but sadly IT'S TOO LATE.





Isaiah 66:3-4
They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations; so I also will choose harsh treatment for them and will bring upon them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me."

Yes, the world is the Lord's creation but the world is also full of "satan's work", "worldly things", and "sin." People actually rejoice in their own work of wickedness, things that defile God and Christianity. No one is exempted, everyone's a sinner. You and I are a part of it.

Isaiah 66:1-2 (To Creation and the World)
This is what the Lord says:
"Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hands made all these things, and so they came into being?"
                                                                                declares the Lord.

The world is God's not ours. This world has been changing through time, because of the different people of different time trying to change the world and even some tried to conquer the world, when in the first place, God made the world and the things in it and so we came to being.

Isaiah 66:3 (To The People of this World)
They have chosen their own ways and their souls delight in their abominations;

We often trust our own and rely on our own strength for all the things that we face in life. Having our own way is not the way to success and a good outcome. Trusting our flesh only leads to downfall but if you trust God, there is revival. 

-HOPE-
Isaiah 66:12-16
For this is what the Lord says:
"I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem." When you see this your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but His fury will be shown to His foes. See, the Lord is coming with fire, and His chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with His sword the Lord will execute judgement upon all men, and many will be those slain by the Lord.



As a mother loves her child, so is the love of God for us. The word "hope" is sometimes also spelled as t-i-m-e, "time" ... We don't know when the Lord will come but there's still time to work for God and reduce the number of souls that are going to suffer in hell. Where there is still time, there is HOPE.



-THE ENDING-
Isaiah 66:22-24
As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me," declares the Lord, "so will your name and descendants endure. From one new moon to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me," says the Lord. And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind." 

You should:

A. Repent (Pray with the fullness of your heart)
-Pray and ask forgiveness of your sins.
-Pray that your sinful heart will be transformed.
-Pray that you will be changed and never go back to your sinful life.


B. Accept (Accept God in your life with all your heart)
-Let God into your life.
-Accept God as your Lord and Saviour.
-Let God be your Father in heaven.


C. Commit / Re-commit (Don't be afraid to commit or re-commit)
-Commit/Re-commit yourself to God and have an intimate relationship with Him.
-Commit/Re-commit that you will make God your 1st priority.
-Commit/Re-commit that you will live a life, living for Jesus and because of Jesus.
-Commit/Re-commit that you will not live by your accomplishments but by your relationship with God.

D. Give Thanks
-Give thanks because of His mercy and grace.
-Give thanks for His abounding love for you.
-Give thanks for He is a kind and merciful God.
-Give thanks because He loves you more than you know.

There's still hope in this changing world. It all starts with a stepping stone and that is YOURSELF.

Colosians 1:27 
"Christ in you, the hope of glory!"

The Light of Salvation

For so long this world is covered with darkness and thick darkness is over the people, "but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you." Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. (Isaiah 60:2-3)

Many people know that God is a God of commandments. They see a God that lays them down in fear. Christianity is never about emotions! If you're afraid to present yourself to God, don't be! If you think you're too dirty, unclean and sinful to be represented to God then go think again!

Isaiah 60:18-20
Although we were all hated and forsaken, the Lord will make us His everlasting pride and the joy for all generations. Though in anger, the Lord strucked us but in favor He will show us compassion.

Christian life is not about being sin conscious nor is it being afraid by a God that you may or you may not believe in. But know this! In anger there is also compassion.

Psalm 145:8
"The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works."

Do not be afraid:
  • To Commit
        Isaiah 26:4
        So trust in the Lord commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently   
        in Him forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting rock (the Rock of Ages).
  • To Re-commit
        2 Corinthians 5:17-18
        Therefore, if anyone is in Christ , he is a new creation. The old has passed
        away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ 
        reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 

I Peter 1:3-5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Stop living a life full of sin.
Start living a life full of hope.

Stop the acts of wickedness.
Start the acts of godliness.

Stop living the life of condemnation.
Start living the life of justification.

"What Makes a Person Complete?"

What does make a person complete? Complete is being whole, having everything you want in life or for some if you drink centrum, you'll be complete. There are many kinds of being complete. Each person has their own opinion. Being complete is a rather great thing to be. "Complete", is a word that everybody knows yet not everybody is one.

For me, being complete is finding the main purpose in life or in other words, finding God in your life. For me, you can only live life to the fullest with full purpose if you finally start living for God. There is a saying, "What will a man do if he gains the whole world yet forfeits his soul." Yes, you can live life to fullest without God but you won't find the true meaning of living life to the fullest as a complete person. For me, I am complete because Jesus is in my heart and God is the center of my universe. But still, that was only my opinion. The word "complete" still remains a mystery. Being complete is not an act but a situation where in you are complete.

What is being complete for you?

The Connection of Man to God

Having no connection with God leads to evil thoughts, evil deeds, destruction and blindness to light. Being in this situation is far more worse than blindness or having cancer.

(Due to no connection, sin covers the eyes of the people of this world. Truth is nowhere to be found, honesty cannot enter and righteousness stands at a distance. People are becoming preys of of wickedness and evil surrounds them.)

Connectivity! There is salvation for you and me.

Isaiah 59:1
Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear to dull to hear.

Connection is easy. Start your connection. Connect now!
  • Turn on your DSL
        -By turning on your DSL, you'll have the assurance that you can definitely         be connected to God.

  • Connect to your DSL
         -By connecting to your DSL, you already have the connection. You are now             connected to DSL (Direct Salvation from the Lord). :D

  • Buy a Router
        -By buying a router, you are spreading the connection. The connection of      
         many different people to God. The connection of one or more human beings
         to the most high.

Spread the connection of direct salvation from the Lord! Connectivity .. Hold on to your connection. Start connecting yourself to God and help connect others to God. 

The Lord can be reached. Connect your all to God.
