Impossible is nothing
In the beginning, the plan was for the cell to run this marathon together and to achieve something significant together as a body of Christ. However, sadly, due to overwhelming responses from the public and procastinating notions from many of us, I didn't managed to sign you all up for it.
Nonetheless, I still went for the run myself, although of course I took back the same 10km distance as last year. I didn't go for the 21km because I felt I didn't train enough and was not ready to jeopardize my body. And true enough, I actually didn't managed to last as well as I did last year when I trained. This year, I only managed to make it to the 5km mark before my legs started to give way and I feel the joints hurting and the muscles tensing under the pressure of the run.
However, I continue to walk of course. Even if I can't run, as least I can walk back to the finishing line and still complete the race. So there I was, along with Steven and a few of Guanghan's boys too, walking, talking and sometimes jogging together from the 6km mark to the 9km mark. Nearing the end of the race, I finally mustered up enough strength and endurance to finish the race strong. And so ran all the way back to the finishing line and crossed it in truimphant style!!!
Praise the Lord for a good race and I'm believing God more and more that impossible is nothing. Even when we feel that we may fail, or have not done enough to do well, we should never give up and think that it's impossible. it's not our own strength that determines how well we do but how much we trust God that makes it happen.
"... everything is possible for him who believes"
Mark 9:23
Reminder from the sermon yesterday, that the power of the Holy SPirit doesn't come because there is unbelief in your system. If only you will choose to beli
eve that God will deliver you from your studies, your family problems, your relationships, financial woes and whatever else that may be plaguing you, you will never be able to have true freedom and trust in Christ.
Are you still burdened??? Always worrying about this and that??? not being able to surrender to God and trust His plans??? Not submitting to His plans and purposes???
Time to re-evaluate our lives and committ them to God once again.
On 6:39 PM, Bangbang let go.
