More Like Jesus

Author: Theresa /

So we are to be more like Jesus ya? but what actually are we suppose to be? I know we all heard this, we are to be more like Jesus. But what more like Jesus??

Let's see, He preach and He teach, He seek for his disciples and disciple them , heals the sick raise the death,give to the needy, oh and He pray, He fast, casting out demons, He heals the blind, He did all this miracles like walking on the water and all this and last He sacrifices Himself for our sins.

John 14: 12 - I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing.He will do even greater things than these,

Yes this is Jesus Himself who said this, anyone who has faith in Him will do what He have been doing! and even greater things some more! So we're suppose to do the things that He have been doing and even greater stuff? We should share the good news, disciple,give, PRAY, and fasting. Heal the sick, raise the death, casting out demons and all this miracles! and look! Jesus said we will do even greater things! WOW.. I wonder.

You know, the basic is to share the gospel. That's what Jesus did at the first place. Correct me it i'm wrong. And let's not forget teach. He teach alot don't He? The Great Commission- Matthew 28:19 Therefore GO and MAKE DISCIPLES of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and TEACHING them to obey everything I have commanded you.

I think Jesus means what He said. As we are the children of God we are made to be able to do all this, of cause only by Him through us. In Jesus Name there is authority. Jesus said this,"All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Matthew 28:18) "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (John 14:13-14)

Do all these things in Jesus Name and it shall be done. But do not take advantage and use it wrongly, for this name is so powerful that no one can assure what will happen what you mis-use this name. That's what i think.

All glory and honor belongs to Him. No pride. You are doing a great job for God, that is because God choose you and you obey. All wisdom comes from Him alone. When Jesus asked the disciples who people said He was. Then He asked them who they thought He was. Peter answered correctly, "You are the Christ." Then Jesus made a very significant statement to Peter,"This was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven."

I guess that's basically what you're suppose to be doing on earth?

God forgive me for my selfishness. Make me more like Jesus. Amen

Because He is a God who remembers

Few months back, I have some trouble playing my guitar. A 12strings classic guitar with a wider gap between the frets and the wider neck it has, i suffer from terrible pain on the bone and also the muscle that connects the thumb to palm on my left hand(forgive me if I describe this wrongly, i'm not good in all this what name of the bones and muscle that connects to where), so every time if i've playing a harder chords or on that guitar for a longer time it will gives me all this pain. This pain is actually cause of an injury 2years back when i was having all this practice for my bowling competition, unknowingly i was actually injured and i didn't seek for any medical advice immediately. That cause me to have this pain not only when i play this guitar of mine but sometime when i use my hand too much to draw, which is like my assignments. So from time to time i will have to bandage my hand, the worst case was there was a time it's so much pain that i can't even use my hand to draw anymore. Yes.

So i was asking God for healing that time and some time after that i was asking God if it's possible for me to get a guitar. I don't see the possibility at that time so I just pray that God will take away all my pain when i play my guitar, and indeed God took away all the pain. Praise the Lord. THANK YOU GOD!! There was once i ask God again if i can have a guitar that i can just enjoy with( i actually told my parents that i think i wanted to buy a guitar when i am able to, they agreed and supported me to get one when i starts to work, cool)

I can't stand playing 12strings anymore because it's hurting so i put on 6strings only. At the process of changing and tuning this 6strings, God actually showed me that i've got the best just right in front of me! This guitar that I'm having is actually a Yamaha, bigger body part, the melody that created by this guitar is beautiful when it's 12string it create amazing tune, melody or whatever you call that. I was so amazed by God! I mean, He was like, "hey! the best is here!" When i look at my guitar and i agree, yes this is definitely the best among the best. So after that I've never asked for a guitar anymore but of cause my hand still hurts sometimes, but it doesn't matter because God have given the best, i really appreciate all that. Last month i think, Joy was asking me if i wanted to buy a guitar because she is selling hers, i would love to but i can't afford so i told her i can't and i will help her to look around for buyers. Her guitar was the music to our prayer meetings all this while in college. THANKS JOY!=]

Yesterday, i went to pick up Joy to go to church together, on her way to my car with her was her guitar case. So i was wondering why is she bringing her guitar along. I was thinking is she giving me that? is she crazy!? haha. When she open the door she said "i'm giving you my guitar, do you want it?" I was like YES! the best part is she even give me the guitar case! now how cool is that! I thank her and really, words just can't express how thankful i am and how blessed i am. gosh.. thanks JOY!! Right after that i thank God, all this while i was just thanking God for the guitar at the same time i wonder why this guitar? I totally forgotten about asking Him for one.

Awhile ago i was reading Joy's blog, she was talking about why she decided to give me this guitar instead of selling it and giving me even the guitar case that she treasure so much and how she got it at the first place. It was God all this while! She was prompt to give this guitar and the case to me and it's confirmation after confirmation that leads her to do this. I was amazed! I ask God, "God, what do you want me to do with this guitar? why give it to me?" and He reminded me is because i asked for one. HE REMEMBER!

Even tho it has been quite awhile since i asked for a guitar and after awhile i didn't actually ask for it anymore, but He, remember what i asked for before and satisfy this desire of mine in His own timing and He always gives better and more than what i asked for. AWESOME GOD!! THANK YOU GOD!!

Again, words can't express how thankful I am. A special shout out to Joy. This is what God is doing in both of us!! gosh!! thank you Joy! it's because you obey=]

Peeps, i do not know what is the desires or the dreams that you had, have or will. One thing i know that is He remembers, He gives the best to you, sometimes just not what you asked for but it's the best for you. Trust Him, because He is a God who remembers.

Blessings,
