Pursuit of Happiness

Just bought a book yesterday call Desiring God by John Piper.

I can't comprehend how simple words written on pieces of paper

can have such a magnificent power and profound understanding.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

He is glorified not only by His glory's being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.

Worship and praise is not merely to express but for us to enjoy his presence 

and to be satisfied in that enjoyment.  

C.S Lewis states that a football fanatic would praise their favourite players;

readers praise their favourite authors, lover praise their other half.

We delight to praise what we enjoy.

So it should be no different that if we enjoy His presence,

We will praise and delight in Him.  

They come in hand in hand, because in 

'whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God'

- 1 Cor 10:31

Let us find joy in everything we do 

for we are doing it for the Glory of the Lord.

Breakthroughs - Are you living on a Saturday?

It has definitely been a while since I've been on this blog.

And to be honest, I have no excuses. 

I have been shunning away from God and now, I guess He has found me again. 

Planetshakers conference 2013 has been EPIC. 

I could feel the presence of God so vividly.

Just yesterday, Reggie Dabbs was speaking on the issue of Saturday.

Whilst many preachers talk about Friday when Jesus died on the cross,

and Sunday where he rose again; no one really talks about Saturday...

so what exactly happens on Saturday?

Perhaps, it is the day when God is silent in your situation.

Those are the days where we start to question God; 

Am I so unworthy that he refused to speak to me?

Have I done something wrong?

Why is he letting me go through these?

Where is God when I need him the most?

I start to doubt, to fear, to worry; and even let anger to consume me

But the amazing thing is;

Saturday is the day after your prayer and the day before your answer. 

God trusted me with Saturdays; the pain, the sorrows, the neglect and loneliness because he knew that one day, he will be able to turn my Saturdays into a trophy. 

Right now, I am praying for a breakthrough in my life.

And although it is silent and the water is calm; 

I believe that God is getting ready to stir up a tsunami of blessings. 

And I will stand still and not waver.
