Things I’ve learnt over the past few days:

I want start a course for young men in the future. They may be entering into marriage, already in marriage, or not even married. Those who want to want to learn more on how to be “The Man” in marriage. “MAN-ning a household” – Practical and Spiritual applications in running your household.

I should do something for Monash CF committee 09. Make some gifts / words of encouragement.

3. I have been predestined and called by God to be a servant leader. He will pull me through. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

4. Ezekiel 3: We are called as watchmen over our Nation. When the enemy comes, We must sound the alarm. This is to deliver ourselves. If unbelievers doubt, and we fail to blow the trumpet, THEIR blood is in OUR hands. Be bold. Be full of courage. Be ready in season and out of season. Be watchful. Be on alert and cautious. Even though people may ridicule and persecute, our job is to sound the alarm. Be sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit. If we blow and others scorn, they will be punished, but you would have delivered yourself.

5. Story of Esther and Modecai. God will have His way accomplished whether you want to be a part of it or not. What matters is, do you think you are placed where you are “for such a time as this”

6. “Sometimes in life, you gotta get your hands dirty”. The work that needs to be done needs to be done. Be humble to obey and have a servant heart. Think of the needs of others rather than yourself. Be fruitful and productive. Life moves even whether you like it or not.

7. Put to death the deeds of the flesh and you will live. Treat your flesh as your slave and beat it into subjection as paul did. Treat your slave like a slave. Works of the flesh, its lust and temptations, be gone, shut up, listen to me, i rebuke you, LEAVE!. Don’t entertain your slave (weaknesses of your flesh); don’t treat it with respect and allow it to fester in your life and cause you to sin and go to hell. Take your rightful authority over your sinful nature and beat it into subjection. Only then will you live.
