in the book of 2 kings.. the king of israel visited elisha the prophet.. at tt time elisha is goin 2 die liaoz.. so he told the king, "ok.. u take arrows and shoot outside the windows.. the arrows u shot is equal to the no. of times u will kill and strike ur enemies.." so the king take some arrows and aim at the window and shoot.. then he shoot 3 times liaoz he stop.. then elisha was so angry and told him, "y u shoot 3 times onli.. assuringly i sae 2 u u will onli strike ur enemy onli 3 times!!"
alrite mayb the king is tired.. mayb he has some doubts.. thinkin tt, "sure anot.. can i realli strike my enemy??"
but it is the contentment of ppl!! when we 1st receive salvation.. naturally we came 2 God broken and we wan Him 2 help us mend wif our lives.. so slowly and surely.. God has done miracles and miracles time and again.. and we were verii greatful.. we praise God.. we thank God.. but as time goes by.. we tink tt, "ohh.. God u hav indeed blessed my life.. im realli happi wif wat i am now.." and they stopped and refuse 2 press on..
ok wat im sayin here is not steppin out into the realm of faith.. but steppin into a bigger realm of faith.. steppin into somethin u completely dunno.. completely lost.. in the book of 2 kings.. the king of israel stepped out in faith 2 shoot the arrows.. but he did not step into the greater zone of impossible.. becoz mayb he's tired after pullin 3 bows of arrows.. or he tinks striking the enemy 3 times can completely destroy the enemy..
and i tink mani ppl also tink likewise.. they tink, "ohh.. as long as im happi.. i no need 2 do things tt is beyond MY means.. as long as im happi.. i'll jus do this and this and this and tt's it!! im not goin 2 do anymore.. it will realli make me unhappi.. all those pain were indeed consuming~~"
the past few daes realli slapped me awake.. God has put me into a realm tt i mus take in realli hard knocks from my leaders so tt i can withstand the blows of the world.. no more nice counseling and talkin.. in the future my discipleship will b jus blastin and heavy scoldin from my leaders.. and i believe by makin this decision.. i stepped into another level of impossible tt is to take in these heavy words even if it wasn't entirely my fault..
but if u wan 2 b a history maker and a world shaker 2dae.. u mus make a decision 2 step into a greater impossible!!
