I'm Amazed!

I was browsing through one of Huanyan's blog posts, when I came across his post from last Thursday. And then I came to this part:

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

A lot of times we want to be at the top and be the head. This is understandable. But the question here, are we following God first? The pre-condition here is obvious. Pay attention to the commands and carefully follow them. Jesus was to substantiate this with a famous saying:

But seek first His Kingdom and righteousnes and all these things will be given to you as well

Are we following God? Are we putting His Kingdom as our priority? Or is it that the girl that you have been going out with had taken over God as the priority? Or is it that you have treated your job and your success more important than God?

Gosh! It's the same thing that I was thinking about last Saturday (see my previous blog post)...

And yet another brother (I can't remember whether it was HQ or Jiehui or Ps Jeff or someone else) also mentioned the same thing on Sunday...

Somehow I have the feeling that it may have started from Ps Simon's sermon on returning to our first love... and the call to repent of our sin of compromise..

You know what this could mean? That the Lord is somehow giving a whole bunch of us in our church the same fresh insight at the same time.

Gosh! And the message that God may be giving to our church, both corporately and individually is: Return back to Jesus, our first love and seek first His kingdom and His righteousness... we want success in ministry, in work, in relationships and so on... but God wants us, first and foremost, to consecrate our hearts to Him and Him alone first and foremost!

And that sounds like a fresh wind of revival is starting to take us by storm!

Like the first buds of spring, so shall our hearts be!
