Philippians

September 9, 2009 in Challenges with 13 Comments

This morning, as I started my new way of spending time with the Lord by prayer jogging, after reading the Bible, I read Philippians 1, and the verses that stood out for me was verse 27-28

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel

without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved–and that by God.
This just got me back to the point where I realised, yes God has a major plan for my life, and He is not sitting back and not doing anything, but in the mean time, I must do whatever I do, in order to glorify Him as well as the Gospel.
This gave me strength for the day, and today I am expecting great things from Him, while being content with what I have and with what I am able to do.

Prayer jogging

September 8, 2009 in Challenges with 26 Comments

Ok, so from tomorrow morning onwards, I am going to start a new routine in trying to get closer to God and to really make time in my day to just connect with Him.

This is an idea I got from JR Briggs, even though I know that it is a commonly done routine, known as Prayer Walking.

Now, I need to get myself back into shame, and quickly by that, and time is a bit of a problem for me, so from tomorrow morning at 4:00am, I am going to get up, do a quick bit of Bible study, and then I am going to go prayer jogging. At this point in time, my focus while doing this is going to be what I need to do with regards to my job and everything, and I really believe God is going to speak to me in very interesting ways while doing my Prayer Jogging.

Later on, I also want to start to pray for my community that I live in, and really bring God back to the people around us.

If there is any of you in the Centurion, South Africa area that would like to join me in this challenge, feel free to contact me, and we can arrange something to make this work.
