HEY brothers and sisters
here to update on the last message on 2008
i know i'm late for that
DO NOT LOOK BACK!!> Luke 17:32"Remember Lot's wife"> Genesis 19: 12-13, 15-17 - Lot and his family were told not to look back nor stay anywhere plain, if not they will be destroy.
> Genesis 19:24-26- Lot's wife look back and hence became a pillar of salt.
Friends,
lets not look back or desire what you have leave behind
because
our walk with God is always FORWARDwe got to step forward and be prepare for what is ahead of us.
The 4 things that you should not look back at:1) Don't look back at the OLD SINS that were already been forgiven.> Psalm 103:12all our sins had already been forgiven by JESUS on the cross...
2) Don't look back at the OLD DEFEATS that get you down- even thought you had fail, but at least you had give it a try! =]
> Psalm 37: 32Remember**
Failure is never the last word!!3) Don't look back at the OLD CONFLICTS that make you bitterwe are not prefect yeah?
As no one is prefect, there will not be this SOMEONE here on Earth that knows you so well that there will no be conflicts.
Hence, the more you look back at the OLD CONFLICTS, the more you feel the pain, the more you will get hurt from it
** release it, God will disperse it**go and talk to Him yeah??
> Proverbs 19: 1** the key to FORGIVENESS = FORGETFULNESS!!- i came across this verse which i think is also one which can be put in here =]
> Colossians 3: 13-14
it states that even if Christ had forgave you, you most also forgive and bear with one another
PUT IN LOVE!!> Genesis 41:51Joseph named his firstborn as
MANASSEH (which means forgetfulness)He said "For God has made me forget all my toil ans all my father's house"
God has made him Forget all those things
which hence also made him to Forgive it.
4) Don't look back at the OLD VICTORIES and think you have arrived.> Philippians 3: 13-14It is just like running
imagine that you are now on the track
you are now running
you can do one of the following:
1) recall back what you have done the previous time when you won and this will pull you back2) dash forward not recalling anything but just with this in your mind "just move forward!"if you were to choose 1, you will indeed lose out as the "THINGS" in you head is pulling you behind.
Is like when you are in your primary school, you got 1st in class for your math
and in secondary, you still think that you are goo din your math and not moving/ trying hard enough.
Which end up you will still be the same as you are in your primary school, only know how to do simple mathematic like plus, minus, times, divide. What about algebra, factorization etc?
