Italy & Hot Seat part 2.

ITALY
Hah. Guess what. Italy won (old news now). I'm such a low frequent blogger. It's either I'm really busy or not stressed. Or stressed till dunno what to say/haven't digested. (side tracked) ;P

So..i gotta ask God, what now? hmm.. I haven't really wait upon his answer or press Him for an answer.. Coz I'm trying to capture and reflect upon what He might have and already done in my life all these while. Trying to piece things up. (me sounds like I haven't been spending time with God/praying yeah..)

Oh, so now I also have to predict the next winner of the champion league and EPL to prove to my 'boss' my spiritual 'gift'..
Sigh. Okloh. If God want to tell, He'll tell. If not, He'll not. I can still try ask lar.
Haha. On one definite condition. NO betting allowed! Else God definitely will not tell.
I wonder why Italy came to me when I didn't even ask. There must be a purpose. (Well, it's in God's hand. I just need to follow Him - as in obey Him and His Words, and so not fall Out of His will).

Of course many times I fall. Recently, actually for the pass months or almost a year soon (gasps..) God revealed to me my areas of life which I have yet to surrender to Him, or fully. Surrender as in to let go of that area and put it in to His hands. Entirely. And to trust in Him. The entirely is the hardest and biggest faith needed

One are is the area of finance- my complete faith and security in Him. (falls in this area):

Oh so the idea I had in my (previous part 1 blog). Was to go buy on Italy and earn money out of the betting (talking bout SG Pools). I even immediately told the one who could help me - which happens to be my CL, the idea I had and ask him to buy for me. ;P (also to account to see any blind spots or hit me back to God's will and alignment and principles of the bible),

Note at that period I was in a slightly distressed condition plus PMS perhaps.
By late afternoon, I realised something quite wrong with that idea which initially sounded fine and good to my mind. yah, eh..quite funny leh,and got more convicted that it isn't something biblical or God would approve off. Don't think I'm able to testify bout God through it if I win any money. Nevertheless, I also got another opinion from another Christian financial agent at night. just to see what he says.haha. Although I already decided more or less not something I would do. No regrets even if Italy wins.

Why?
-how will ppl see me as a Christian? ppl in their mind thinks Christian don't gamble. Yeah. (we don't trust in luck, but in God to provide) Though I thought I was only gambling with God then..with faith ;P

-Gambling's associated with vices, the root of many social and family breakdowns, greed, temptations - definitely not a place/channel to testify of God's goodness and greatness!
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way or sinners or sit in the ways of mockers…..

Because the fact that I don't bet, God through this gave me something to test and show how vulnerable or much I could fall into temptation caused by the area of finance or at the spurr or moment how can we fall. Pastor Jeff on Sunday's sermon said that the opposite of greed = is faith.

Oh yeah, the other conclusion - gonna test out my gift of prophecy still. :)
Purpose- to help and ministers to others, and to edify/encourage the chruch.


Hot seat- to be con't later
