Short Exhortation # 2 — Kindling of the Flame

-

I was weak, yet Christ's strength was made perfect in my weakness that gives me the courage to endure. I had a house yet there's not a home to live in. I had an abundance of food, water, clothing and shelter yet I was naked, hungry, thirsty and homeless. Physically healthy, but spiritually dead. Knowing Him with my mouth and yet, I do not know Him by heart. Having the the strength and opportunity to fill His glory and yet cowardice takes place. Provided with good news etched into our faces, yet the outcome was bad news to us sinners. A loving and caring family, yet no brother nor sister to take refuge in. A God that laid His life for me and yet I kept my life as my own. 

What is my purpose? I asked the LORD.

Every event was ordained by the LORD has endless meanings. The breath we take, the steps we make, the very challenges in life that God has given to strengthen us to glorify His name, yet we don't acknowledge Him.

The LORD has made everyone through His creation due to His goodness and yet we chose to rebel against Him. Loving ourselves just to gratify our carnal desires instead of Him being glorified.

A mere prayer is useless if we do not know Him, if we do not believe Him and if we do not serve Him, if we do not love Him. 

As the LORD's creation, we are made to glorify Him. We would have to set our hearts and our minds in Him and yet we only call Him when we need Him the most instead of preaching His Word and walking according to His will daily. Those who do not know Him, those who do not serve Him and those who do not love Him thinks that sharing the good news is not worth laying our very lives which Christ freely gave us due to His grace and mercy.

Passing through the storm, we continue to fill our pockets with earthly riches. Something we can not bring to His kingdom, something that can not glorify His name.

At the end of the day, we would have all of our actions taken into account. For much is given much is requiredthins

The LORD would ask His very creation:


What did you do with the blessings I have given to you?

Who is Christ to you?

And does Christ know you?


Mat 16:25 KJV For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.

 LORD, I thank you for the provision. You never lack.  I am the one who steered away from you and I only went back to you when I needed you the most. I have been complaining for the physical pains I have experienced for the past months foolishly fulfilling my own desires and going through my way. The bigger cancer was ignored, the cancer in my spirit. Thank you for your mercy that I am still here typing this. Help me endure Father God.  Today, I had gone out with my friend in gaming, David P. We went out to UP oblation only to see that it was closed. We sat nearby an available bench, a bit isolated. He was downcast due to his recent breakup. I did not know how to to open up but the LORD knew. The gospel was given to one of the closest person I have been close with ever since we have met (04/07/2025). There were some questions that was answered that I MYSELF cannot even answer unless the power of the LORD intervened. Have mercy on this lost soul Father God.

James 1:8

Living through the life God has given me, I always pondered why I exist. Strolling through the days and pondering about my past, I thought to myself, I am a useless servant living in sin, living by the desires of the world. The perfect candidate who broke the God's  laws resulting in the destruction of my soul when I should be the one who deserves to be laid on the cross of Christ. Worthy to be condemned to eternal death when death itself is looming around the corner. Separated by Christ, I fear the inevitable moment that I have to take into account for what I have done. Mercy is the only action that I plead. To pray for strength and to lead me away from my hypocrisy. Every moment we make, every path we take, the very breath of life the LORD gave us, only for me to waste it for our own selfish desires. For the every moment that we sinned and every moment that was entrusted to us would have eternal consequences.  And yet here I am. The strength that Jesus gave  me fingers ...

Conviction Over Contradiction

Asking the LORD for wisdom and guidance through my journey of uncertainty, seeking direction on my next step, knocking on people's minds, how they know the LORD, I pondered. "Am I a part of His church?" The times when the Holy Spirit clearly tells me what to do. Finding every stepping stone that has been laid for me, yet I chose not to stride forward, a LORD who answers every question I have asked, yet I kept Him shut. Sleeplessness nights knowing I have sinned against Him. A sin worse than a non-believer despite knowing what to say but chose not to due to cowardice and narcissism. And then, reality hit me.  After a 5 year hiatus, I decided to login to an old messaging app I used to frequent in. Connecting with gamers who do not know the LORD. A place where crude humor runs rampant, breakless vessels running at a speed of light and wickedness, a place where the devil flourishes and a killswitch centimeters away. A former friend of mine from Finland, who is a year younger ...
