remnant of godly sorrows

" s i g h "

judging judging judging..

felt whenever you stand with someone you just wanna stay away?
your guts tells you , gosh this person stinks?

many at times we look at only one point of view : how people will change , act, think &judge like us. pride is the beginning of downfall . are you tired of being drained hanging with proud people?

familiar with these?
-------------------------
they never think they are wrong..
they seem to be always - -right.
their face is always craft in lines of sarcasm and silent voices in they minds are all out to wit, laugh and disrespect you?
they judge and condemn everything that moves ..(sadly even the very ones who feeds them )

we have heard of too many casualities of judas in the midst of our leaders .

ungrateful and greedy.

but even before we streamline these judas or so called religious teachers why not start first with us? what kind of judas' value could we be adapting consciously/unconsciously
- what has rob our focus from God's kingdom to our kingdom?

notice how God is not in the business of condemning but correcting.
He rebukes .He dont retrenched his own creation..haha..

when will there be a rise of peters than judas?
when will the time of repentance come?
how can revival come when there is no repentance.. how can we shout "repent" when we ourselves didnt check our very attitudes that stink?

teachers are always sharing than keeping "reserved" teachings of God.
we sing , "tell the world that Jesus lives"

how to tell?
when the ultimate purpose of sharing for some is to elevate self than shout out loud credit to Jesus who is the ONE brought about their change?
why condemn His creation, the people around them?
when He repeatedly taught us compassion?

how can He be shared when the very nails they plunge in their teachings or preaching per se are fruits of hate , dislikes than "compassion" and "repentance".

where has our focus steered to ?

thank God for our senior pastor who is a gracious father and his rebukes has brought about changes lives of many,including mine, but somehow there are a few judas seating in the crowd waiting to nail him out for the pride in which is eating them up by bits.

my question to leaders out there is this: have we checked the times of despair :

what went wrong, what have i done wrong God to produce offspring like these?
the best teaching ever and I quote from Ps Henry is " 2 nations are in the same womb" . God is gracious and slow in anger. all in all , another great papa Ps Charles shared his thoughts :

circumstances helped in shaping character in built by God
waiting to be activated.

many times groanings in my spirit for opened spiritual eyes.
to see that the more they are in service , the more they are to give than "reserved" God given insight. (Thank God they werent chosen to write the inspired words of God.imagine what kind of cult it would be? gosh ! )

its sickening to know believers are all out in their armour, polishing they armour, stand out in a crowd and forgetting the people with them..they stink in their armour.
do we stink in our armour ? are we questioning ourselves , checking ourselves first before labelling ourselves as imitators of Christ?

do we still dare to condemn or judge others in our "preachings" cos when a mirror is put upfront: they themselves are the one who is holding the stone than being so called teacher presenting preachings which they have not experience the pain of being stoned?

groans of a leader is always present crying for change not only in others but THEMSELVES. there are times we need to go on our knees . check ourself first. have we checked what are these groanings?

can we present them to God?
the anwer is : YES! thankfully , phew!

Godly sorrows brings about repentance.

God is gracious > > patience is one of the tools God is forming in our lives when all the hardships come. in Ps Charles Popson's book, " God is not finish with you" connotes that we have to go through wilderness seasons. if we arent careful we might just think it is our PLACE OF PROMISE, it is a deception of the enemy.

let us not be like the Israelites thinking they will never enter their promise land.
always grumbling and complaining.
Let us not give up or be weary in doing good.
let us be assured of this: God is able to steer all channels of challenges to channels of growth in our lives.. we need to check our attitudes. we need to humble ourselves and turn our ways and start having compassion than judgments lenses.

what remnant remains in you?
good? or otherwise?
