Voila~!



And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
- Matthew 11:12







I will take it by force.

After being a Christian for some time in Heart of God church, many of us would have found our place.
Doing what we do best.
But sometimes, doing all these things makes us a tad too comfortable.
We remain in our comfort zone.
Unwilling to get up and get out.

Sometimes, we do the wrong things so often, that we get a little sick and tired of it.
So we end up in a vicious downward cycle.
Going down and down and down and down...
Till we land with a huge 'thump!'
And we tell ourselves, 'There's no point. Let's just stay here. I'm comfortable here.'

So in doing so, we lost the energy to fight back.
We gave up the spirit that used to be inside us, screaming, 'Get up and do something about it!'
We ignore it often enough, till that spirit gets a little tired of screaming.
And we go a little deaf to it's screaming.

So what happens next?
You're not a bad Christian.
You still go to church every week.
In fact, you still go to church many times a week.
You're involved in some ministries.

But you see that most of your friends have risen up...gone on to do bigger things.
And you feel a little, well, wishing that you were like them too.

Sounds familiar?

Everyone of us has gone through that, some point of our lives.
But the key is not to stay too happy in your comfort zone.
Learn to get up and get out.

If you want to move ahead, you gotta stop ignoring that voice inside of you..start listening to it.
Make a decision to do something about it, and keep to that decision.
Things don't happen immediately, but you just gotta keep on keeping on.
You will get there...
If you want to.

Hope this has ministered to some people. :)
