Our duty as the rising generation of Malaysia.

Hey guys, for the sake of updating this wonderful blog of ours. I adopted this post from one of my own previous post on my own blog. To go to my blog, please click HERE.



For those young christians that lives in this wonderful world that God created,

As you know, we youngsters, from toddlers to the age of young adulthood

We are the rising generation of this world,

Sooner or later, Jesus will decide to come,

to rid the world from evil.

The world is about few centuries or maybe decades from extinction,

many people are expecting the Messiah,

prophecies in the Bible are slowly being fulfilled,

some already are, and some are yet to be fulfilled,

Jesus will return to this sinful world for the second time,

And He will take us by surprise.

"So be prepared, because you don't know what day your Lord is coming." ~ Matthew 24:42

And the questions is not WHEN He is coming,

But, are we ready?

Are we ready to take a stand for Jesus?

Are we ready endure the coming suffering that'll happen in the future, and yet maintain our faith in our Lord saviour?

"Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because of your allegiance to me." ~Matthew 24:9

And lets be real,

Jesus said that he'll come when he is least expected,

there will be movies, books and prophecies proclaiming the time and date when Armageddon arrives,

Recently, we have authors saying that in year 2012, that'll the earth will perish,

BE REAL!

That's bull! Seriously.

Jesus said to his disciples: "Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah,' or 'There he is', don't pay any attention. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great miraculous signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones." ~ Matthew 24:23-24

Therefore, do not believe these people who are proclaiming false prophecies.

Mayan calendar all wrong. Ignore it.

We must be ready for the second coming,

as the world is getting more and more screwed up,

we must stand firm,

and keep a sharp "lookout".

"Don't let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning." ~Mark 13:36

But don't worry,

if we keep our duty to God,

He will plant our feet on rock,

And by God's wonderful grace and mercy,

we will survive the second coming.

"He will keep you strong right up to the end, and he will keep you free from all blame on the great day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns." ~ 1 Corinthians 1:8

You see, we're the rising generation of this world,

and we shall stand for God 'till the day comes,

and Satan will do his very best to avoid this from happening,

Satan is a coward,

but also very cunning and as sly as a fox.

It's already happening,

Satan is using technology, money, materialistic things, peer pressure to decieve us,

and let it be pornography, drugs, alcohol, smoking and etc.

Satan is entering our minds through these things,

and preventing us from rising up against him.

And I'll say this,

Satan's temptations are unavoidable,

but it can be overcomed,

by wearing our armor of God,

which is the Gospel (God's word).

Even during the time when Jesus was born,

Satan entered King Herod's mind,

and he sent all his soldiers to kill all the male boys around the age of 2 years.

Funny isn't it?

How scared the Satan.

God once said to Satan that the seed in the mother's womb will crush his head,

then he sent his little puny grunt demons to use the most hardest material they could find to make a helmet for him.

Satan is a coward,

that's a fact.

And lets not forget God's love for us all.

During before the birth of Jesus,

God's standard was so high,

that almost everything that man did was sinful,

to even thinking of sinning or to look at woman lustfully,

was considered a sin to God,

and the old testament said that only the righteous, pure and holy souls could only enter the Kingdom of heaven,

then there would be no hope in mankind,

because they will all go to Hell,

no one would enter Heaven.

Then, by God's most wonderful grace and mercy,

he sent down Jesus to earth so that even God himself could experience the same things that men did, he then entered to the same standard as men,

and then a bridge was built between man and God!

Try to imagine a two mountain cliffs,

the left cliff is Heaven, God's kingdom, the holy side

and the right cliff is men the sinful side,

and there was no bridge drawn between them, so how would men reach the other side and have eternal life?

"For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." ~ John 3:16

Jesus was God's one and only Son,

he sent Jesus to be with man,

and thus a bridge was created between man and God!

You see, God's love for us all is just indescribable,

he sent his one and only son to be cruxified,

so our salvation would not be taken away from us!

But lets not forget, Jesus rose again on the third day!

Thus, proving he is indeed, the Son of Man.

WOW.

My friends,

Jesus is coming!

He may decide to come tomorrow, maybe next month, or maybe the years to come,

Who knows?

The question is not when he is coming,

But are we ready?

I will like to challenge you this day,

that you do your part and duty,

and together lets welcome Jesus to come.

"Isaiah had spoken to John when he said,

'He is a voice shouting in the wilderness: Prepare a pathway for the Lord's coming! Make a straight road for him!'"~Matthew 3:3

Lets fulfill our duty to God.

Basically, our main duty is this.

Jesus said:

"Love the Lord your God will all your heart, soul and strength"

and

"Love your neighbour as yourself".

"We know what real love is because Christ gave up his life for us. And so we also ought to give up our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters" ~1 John 3:16

Personally, I think this our main duty to God.

(This is also the reason why the Christians didn't win the war against the Muslims)

Secondly,

obey God's teachings,

do not lose your grasp on the commandments.

"Loving God means keeping his commandments, and really, that isn't difficult."~1 John 5:3

Thirdly,

above all,

we should make God our first priority,

make God above all,

if you don't have time for God,

then make time!

God should always come first before everything else,

let it be outings with friends, computer, sports, entertainment, luxury etc.

"and He will give you all your need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern." ~Matthew 6:33

Sometimes not only our personal concerns,

but even our duty to God and our duty to the country clashes.

Despite, the Bible saying that we should love our country and be patriotic, God STILL comes first.

Peter once said: "We ought to obey God rather than men."

I will like to show a video of our duty to our Lord Saviour Jesus that touched me. I advise you to pause the songs that should playing at the right side of this blog, if you haven't yet. I seem to have problems with putting the video here. But, you can still watch it by clicking here. Please do. It is a very interesting cartoon created by Youtube users. Its awesome.

My friends,

we are not born here by accident or by coincedence,

we are born here for a purpose,

a purpose for God,

we are the rising generation of Malaysia,

and God is no doubt working in our country,

Satan shall not hinder our rising,

he can try but it'll all be in vain,

we have the power to make difference,

lets put on our armor which is God's word,

and make a stand for Jesus,

we can make a difference,

lets welcome Jesus to our land of Malaysia,

lets dedicate our lives and this country to our Lord Jesus,

let him take over the politics department,

there will be revival in our land!

Lets stand for God's word!

Before I'll end this post, I will like to pray for the readers:

Dear Lord, I will like to commit this time in your hands, I thank you for allowing me to use this blog to share your love and hope that exist in me because of you. I will like to dedicate this blog into your hands, and I will use it for the expansion of your Kingdom. I pray that you'll lay your mighty hands on whoever that is reading this blog, that you will touch their hearts and open their eyes so they can see the glory of your name and what you have done. I'll also like to pray for our country, Malaysia. I dedicate the land of Malaysia to you, I pray that you'll touch the hearts of our people of Malaysia, and that despite the circumstances that exist in our country, I pray that our country will one day open their eyes to your glory and surrender their lives to you. I pray in Jesus precious and beautiful name, Amen!
