Title: Peter's response.
Sunday, August 21, 2011 || 11:38 AM
Er, I kind of forgave my brother already. He's still my brother after all. I was just worried about him. To be honest, that latest post was just me releasing my anger :)
Church was awesome yesterday. The preacher was Senior Pastor Dr Daniel Ho. It was funny as usual. :) And I've learned something so I decided to share.
Apostle Peter's response to challenging times :
- Do not be surprised/shocked. (v.12)
God is definitely teaching us about trust, faith and fearlessness. If you're anxious about tomorrow, it means you're lacked of faith. It kinda defines me. You know, I'm always worried about everything surrounding me. If something bad really happens, it'd be God's work, all I can do is pray that bad things will get better.
We shall all rejoice in suffering because it will build us, to be a stronger person. It's to build our perseverance, characters and maturity. Apostle Peter also said that if you suffer, it's not supposed to be because of your sins. That means if you've stolen something or have murdered someone, and you get punishment for that, you definitely deserve it ; but if you suffer for God, you'll be blessed.
We should rejoice because:
- We believe in Jesus (1 Peter 1:3-9)
- We are partakers of Christ's sufferings (1 Pet. 4:12-13)
- Christ keeps us from falling and presents us faultless (Jude 1:24)
- We have salvation (Ps. 35:9)
- God is on our side (Duet. 33:29)
- God has helped us (Ps. 63:7)
- Our names are written in heaven (Luke 10:20)
We should rejoice in:
- Every good thing from God (Duet 26:11)
- The Lord and His salvation (1 Sam. 2:1; Ps. 9:14)
- The hope of the glory of God (Rom. 5:2)
- Tribulations (Rom. 5:3-8)
- Hope (Rom. 12:12)
- Other Christians (1 Thess. 2:19-20)
- Do not be ashamed but praise God.
If you go to jail because of justice, you'll blessed. 'Cause truth, righteous and justice will always be with you when you're with God.
- Commit yourselves to your faithful Creator. (v.19)
The word 'faithful' is underlined because apostle Peter is proved to be unfaithful to God, he denied Jesus. Three times.
- To continue to do good. (v.19)
Even when you're in trouble.
- Know that there is joy. (v.13)
Don't complain. Because joy is independent.
- Know that one is blessed.
- Know that there is judgement and therefore vindication.
That's all I guess. I gotta off to get ready for lunch. And I shall continue conquering Science world :)
