The Watchmaker

Bluetooth watch by Sony Ericsson

If you watch 'Heroes' series and know who Gabriel a.k.a. Sylar is, you'd get a clearer picture on this next post. Enjoy!

A watch proves very obviously that there was someone that made the watch. And a watches primary function is to show the time. There are watches nowadays so hi-tech that it even functions as a communication device, like a cell phone. But most often than not, people buy a watch for its primary function, which is to show the time. So we can come to an equation that a watch was created for a specific purpose by someone.

What I'm trying to get to is, your existence proves that there is a Creator and there is a purpose you are living. Earning money is definitely not the primary function of a human being, it is part of what we need to do but it ain't a humans primary function. If earning money was the primary purpose of our existence, you will feel complete satisfaction when you earned your first cent and you would never need another penny again. You've probably heard people saying, or if not yourself, "When I earn my first thousand, I know I'll be happy". But we all know, especially if you're working, that that does not happen. Though we are joyful for a moment, but moments, mind you, never last. It's called moments for a reason (duh!). This applies for travelling, coffee drinking, video games, excellent results in examination, popularity, amount of facebook friends and etc..... You can try, but rest assured you will find that, at least for this area and topic, I'm right :)

If you've been wondering about your purpose in life, let me tell you, everyone will wonder about it sooner or later. Don't pacify or numb that feeling, it will only lead you to more sorrows and fake happiness.

There is a solution to everything. Every problem, every sickness and deceases, every hurt, every wound. The solution is Jesus. I don't say it because I'm a Christian and that I want to convert you (if you haven't accepted Jesus into your life). I say this because, I've tasted an awesome "hamburger" and I'd like to recommend this "hamburger" to you. I would be a selfish imbecile if I had a million dollars but didn't share the moments spending the money with people (friends).

All you need to do is long for an answer of your purpose here on earth. He'll definitely answer you.

The Value Of Mystery

An intellectual gospel is always in danger of creating a God that looks a lot like us—one that is our size. The quest for answers sometimes leads to a rejection of mystery. As a result mystery is often treated as something intolerable, instead of a real treasure. Living with mystery is the privilege of our walk with Christ. Its importance cannot be overrated. If I understand all that is going on in my Christian life, I have an inferior Christian life. The walk of faith is to live according to the revelation we have received, in the midst of the mysteries we can’t explain. That’s why Christianity is called "the faith."

All too often believers abandon or dilute their call in order to feel better about the things they cannot explain. To allow what we cannot answer to downgrade what He has shown us is to be carnal minded. Too many only obey what they understand, thus subjecting God to their judgments. God is not on trial; we are. A true cross-walk is obeying where we have revelation in spite of the apparent contradiction in what we cannot explain. To obey only when we see that there will be a favorable outcome is not obedience. Obedience is supposed to be expensive. To embrace what He has shown us and to obey what He has commanded us, often in the midst of unanswerable questions, is an honor beyond measure. It is a great privilege to be a believing believer in the midst of a culture of unbelief. We must embrace this privilege. No Christian should be unmoved by the Lord’s question, “When I return, will I find faith on the earth?” I have set my heart to be His pleasure by living in faith.

God hides things for us, not from us.

The Language Of The Holy Spirit

When we were young Christians, the Holy Spirit often speaks in our language. We hear things very specifically, we are guided and lead by the Holy Spirit pretty much in detail. Things are going great but as time goes on, suddenly it seems as if the Holy Spirit isn't with us anymore. It seems like He's not speaking to us anymore. Many Christians would question in their mind, "Am I doing something wrong?" Some might think, "I must have sinned, maybe that's why I don't get blessed anymore."

This post is gonna help you a lot, whether you've just accepted Jesus into your life (awesome! [Luke 15:7 & 10]) or you've been a Christians for some years, or if you've been a Christian for ages. Here are some answers to your 'hows', 'whys' and 'whats'.

First of all we've got to understand that the Holy Spirit's first language ain't English or any other tongue that you might be speaking. So if sometimes you don't hear the Holy Spirit speaking, you're probably on the wrong channel.

Another thing that might help you is knowing why the Holy Spirit is here with us. What is the purpose of His coming here on earth. Well, the Holy Spirit is not here to help you overcome your sin. Some of you are going, "WHAT!! THIS IS FALSE TEACHING RIGHT HERE!"

Let me say that if you think that the Holy Spirit is here to help you overcome your sin, you're totally getting it wrong. Jesus has already died for your sins and He has rose from the grave and given you righteousness. And when you accept that fact, you can get what all Jesus has to offer. The Holy Spirit was sent not to do again the thing that Jesus already did. The Holy Spirit is here to bring you to look at Jesus, grace!

You've got to understand that you are no longer a sinner the moment you accepted Jesus into your life [Hebrews 10:10 & 14], and your old man (nature) died and was buried when you we're baptized in water, and out of the water came a new man, a saint, a holy person, a child of God, a royal priesthood [Exodus 19:5-6 & 1 Peter 2:9-10]. What Jesus did, Holy Spirit doesn't need to do again. Still often many Christians go around preaching an inaccurate gospel and live their lives trying to overcome their old man, (which by the way already died in the baptismal tank) as though Jesus didn't do anything. Please do not dilute the value and effectiveness of the blood of Christ just because you are struggling with a certain bad habit or sin [Hebrews 10:29].

Some other Christians believe that they have a new nature but they believe they still have another half with them, their old nature. This is also an inaccurate understanding. I call this.... identity crisis, split personality or a case of CS (Christian Schizophrenia). People that have this mindset live lethargic Christian lives because they believe that although they have victory in Christ and they are an overcoming new man, they do not live lives like that. Its like saying, "Oh I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength, I can overcome but the fact is I actually can't. Oh I'm wonderfully made, oh but no, I'm a sinner and I'm not worthy of anything coz I'm actually a sinner." [Romans 5:12-21]. Come on people, Christ made you worthy. The Father does not see you as you were anymore, because He looks at you through His perfect sinless Son, and you are now WORTHY! You are seated together with Christ in the heavenly places. How can you be in the heaven but you're a sinner?

I'm not saying that you cannot sin anymore as a new man (trust me, I've tried, hahaha), what I'm saying is, is that you're not prone to sin. A sinner is prone to sin. But you are a saint and you are prone to righteousness and glory [Romans 9:30 & Romans 5:1-2 & Romans 6:1-14].

Now having said this, the Holy Spirit purpose is none of the above. He is not here to help you overcome your problems but He is here to empower you to overcome your problems [Acts 1:8]. We have been given a mandate to multiply and subdue the earth. Heaven is God's but the earth is ours for the ruling [Genesis 1:28]. Let us not create a doctrine that gives us permission to not be responsible for the things we're in charge of. The body of Christ for too long, in the name of humility, have castrated and emasculate the call and identity of the Church. It's time we take responsibility and answer this call. Will you?

People are hungry and thirsty for a power that leads to salvation. We have this power within us when the Holy Spirit CAME upon the Church two thousand years ago [Acts 2:1-4]. Let us not disappoint them.

If you are reading this and you wanna have this life as well, come, pray this prayer with me. Salvation and eternal life is but a second away.

Jesus, I believe You are real and true to Your words. Forgive my sins and come into my life and make me new.

If you want to know more or have prayed this prayer, give me a call or any Christian friend you know. Be sure to read more on the authentic gospel (good news) here on daniel wong's blogspot. God bless and bye bye.
