Yesterday when I was reading the book of Revelation, in facing many uncertainty of reality of my life, I was awakened, encouraged, strengthened and uplifted again by the below verse:
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says......"
"These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens."
- Revelation Chapter 3: Verse 6 & 7 -
There are many doors / gates I have been letting myself open and exposed before I came to the Lord. For the past few years, I had been shutting down the doors / gates so as to allow God to open its paths in my life.
The gates I had been shut down in my life and the fire of Holy Spirit burnt away within me:
My sensual pleasure through my senses - entering into cinema to enjoy movies; watching TV programs from channel to channel; playing computer games and surfing Internet in adult website; window shopping in complex aimlessly and occasionally went to pub.
My past believing in Buddishme teaching and meditation practice which is against the will of God.
My thinking pattern: I was heavily influenced by the society in making money is the primarily goal. I had been involving in Multilevel Marketing and Direct Insurance Selling. I was indulged in imaginative thinking without solid reality foundation.
My life style: My life was not centered on god principle. Shopping complex, internet surfing and playing computer game are the norm of my life.
By shutting down my doors, God begins to open His doors in my life. The doors God open for me:
* Fellowship in the church functions such as Sunday service, Jesus Heals function, cell group, bible study, outing and leadership development camp.
* Life style is centering on reading Bible, praying in tongue, sing praises and fasting for spiritual growth and maturity.
* Thinking pattern: Aligned and renewed by the power of Holy Spirit, the blood of Jesus and His word.
* Service for the Lord: I am now serving the Lord in the Mandarin service of EPPC (Penang) as well as writing word of encouragement through the blog.
