title: Day X'mas III.. Truely. A Blessing in Disguise
Have you ever wonder why such horrible incident would happen?
Why now and why at that specific places?
'Cos its a wake-up-your-idea call..
Today my heart couldn't do qt.. the mood wasn't there to do the usual point-within-the-flipping-pages method, nor to read the purposes driven life book..
Cos He wanted me read my bible. (Colourfully highlighted pages binded by the dull looking cover.)
'They may trip seven times, but each time they will rise again. But one calamity is enough to lay the wicked low.' Proverbs 24:16
I was watching the news when the broadcaster kept on repeating the word 'calamity'.. den this verse just came to me.
I would say that this killer wave combined with the massive earthquake was not a disaster.. but a Prelude to the End days.
Why?
God is always fair and just.. Jesus' second coming will be a fair process without any favoritism towards the Christians nor the unbelievers.
This massive natural disaster portrayed the warning to His coming. As in the End days, more will come.. It's a promise.
I remembered somewhere in the Bible says,'I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake...' Revelation 6:12
I
doubt it will be worse and more lifes will be lost.
God wants to see who trust in God and who doesn't.. Those who trust in Him will not be concern about the disaster-to-come , but emphasize their time into spreading the Gospel to the nations and accomplishing the Great Commission. Thus pleases Him.
'Our purpose is to please God, not people.' 1 Thessalonians 2:4
How to quicken the End Day? by spreading the gospel to all nation. ( SOL's lesson)
In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, its all about the hope of the Resurrection, thus God is always fair..
People will be killed by the miracle that God does, which this time is the earthquake and killer wave.. its a blessing in disguise.
A warning for everyone that's alive.
Every action will have a reaction.This natural action will have two types of reaction..
1st reaction: a time for harvest; God draws to the people first by His 'miracle', den people will draw to God. A time for Revival as Pastor has mentioned is going to happen.. but who is ready to receive that harvest? The youths are like sleeping dragons, waiting to be waken.
2nd reaction:Natural action results im natural reaction. Government, communities and organisations cracking their peanut brains to solve this current problem and plan for a 'foolproof' plan for the next coming disaster..
However.. who can expect that? All these.. are in God's plan that you might know them, but dun understand at all.. the killer wave came like a thief..
' When people are saying, " All is well; everything is peaceful and secure," then disaster will fall upon them as suddenly as a woman's birth pains begin when her child is about to be born. And there will be no escape.'1 Thessalonians 5:3
Frankly speaking, what God is telling me.. I still need to register for a while.. den i can fully understand what His plan is..
Must mediate.. mediate..
