WHOA!

gosh...its intoxicating...i just had encounter with God..not really a miraculous one wherby i saw angels or had dreams or anything....lemme relate that encounter...i was sitting on my couch..clad in an army singlet and nike shorts...watching the soapy 'a kindred spirit' on channel 8, while reading becoming a contagious christianity. Prior to that i was looking through some of my old ocf stuff..reading some comments people made about me...for eg ' ding ure been such an inspiration and testimony' and other good things about me..then i started reflecting how did i change from been someone who is seen as a passionate christian to what i am now? well i ponder it for a while, and shrug it aside as the drama begin, during the adverts i read snippets of mark mittleberg's becoming a contagious christian...one sentence in the chapter 'a formula for impacting your world' struck me...it went like these when christians live out their faith with authenticity and boldness they put a little zing into a sometimes bland cup of soup. They catch people off-guard and make them wince' keeping in mind the title of that chapter, u would understand what the author was hinting at. A while after i read that sentence, a sudden surge in desire to worship God came upon me, it was so strong, it cldnt have been self induced. (i could never pysche myself up). I went into the room (my primary 2 cousin's bedroom) got down onto my knees and started praying talking and just crying out to him...i didnt weep..but i did tear...i kept on asking God for forgivenss for my sin..and i repeat it...then it dawn upon me...the very first time i asked for Forgiveness He alreaedy forgave! i didnt have to repeat! Then i realised, i have to seek His power so that i would be strong in times of temptation..and thats what He gave me...its indescribable..the sudden resolution that is imbue in me to hate sin and hate whatever i have been doing wrong and to advoid it at all course....i continue worshipping Him...it was awesome..its been soo long since i had such a worship session..it was more of my cry to Him...after a while i thought God was done with me, so i proceeded messaging all my christian friends...but once i left e room..all i cld say was...praise U lord...and i kept on crying His name...so i quickly send out messages..got back into the room..came back out...remembering that my bible was in the living room (untouched in a while)..and just started waiting...He took me to matthew 5...the beautitudes...i remember paul yancey once wrote in one his books, that the beautitutes was something lyrical..something beautiful...but seldom understood...at that moment on my knees...the meaning of the beautitutdes just transcend into my soul..albeit my mind cannot fully comprehend it...but all i wanted was to be what was set out in the beautitues..so i proceeded into praying each one of it...and what struck me was 'blessed are those who thirst and hunger for righteousness for they will be filled'.. i just wanted to be that blessed person who desired righteousness in my life....gosh...i just prayed and prayed...and the whole thing ended with me praying for my parents for my cousin for daphne for cheryl and everybody else. God is great...one week before my 22nd birthday...this could be the very present i need in my life......isnt God awesome!
