εїз Stay in College Life Forever εїз

      Life as a christian could be compared to one's college life. Where we learn, we fail, we pass and we conquer different challenges. Every season of our life is compared to every semester. It brings a mixture of emotions: a nostalgic feeling for the past season and great excitement for the upcoming one. And there are also different kinds of students, the ones that excel; the average ones; the ones that always fail because their not trying; and the ones that chose to fail because their tired of trying .. similarly there are Christians that continually mature in their faith; there are those who become stagnant in their faith and stays in their comfort zones; ones that neglect their faith; and there are those who give up and let go of their faith when hailstorms of struggles and challenges come.

     Every semester, there comes a time where we pass and we fail. Every time we pass without cheating, the feeling of victory is always there, we feel relieved and refreshed, same feeling we have every time we are victorious over temptations, and when we surpass difficult challenges. And during our failures, we are often discouraged, and sometimes feel hopeless. Same feeling we acquire when we fall into temptation .. when we sin .. when we let Evil reign in a certain situation. We end up being discouraged, down hearted and worthless, but just like how our friends and classmates cheer us up, our brothers and sisters in Christ are there to lift us up , encourage us and lead us back on track and just how our mentors and professors never gives up on us and give us second chances, God himself, also never gave up on us and is always there to give us thousands of chances to make things right and to make it up to our failures, He stays and teach us more and more things we have not come to know 

(John 33:3 "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know"). 

     God will never give up on us, so why should we? besides, He'll be our strength .. with a God that strong and powerful, we can never lose any battle as long as we stay in his presence. With God on our side, we will never be in the losing end.
     We can stay in college life forever as long as we stay as a Christian forever :)) .. With God, the learning never ends :))

            (Isaiah 48:17) This is what the Lord says-your redeemer the holy one of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go (Proverbs 23:18) There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
            (Ezekiel 2:6-8) Do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house. You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. But you, listen to what i say to you, do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you. (Daniel 9:22-23) I have now come to give you insight and understanding. As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed! (Jeremiah 1:17) Get yourself ready ! stand up and say to them whatever i command you. (Jeremiah 1:19) They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you.
             (Jeremiah 4:23) I looked at the earth and it was formless and empty, and at the heavens, and their light was gone. (Isaiah 42:6) but I the Lord have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand, I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the gentiles, to open eyes that are blind to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. (Isaiah 43:8) Lead out those who have eyes but are blind; has ears but are deaf, (Matthew 23:5) everything they do is done for men to see but (2Corinthians 10:3-4) though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapon we fight with are not the weapons of the world, on the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds ! (Zechariah 8:13) I will save you and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid but let your hands be strong ! "

God's Presence Outnumbers a Multitude of Believers

     With the kind of work and schedule that I have .. I could say that the adjustment period was really the hardest part. With changing shift every week and a rotating day off I merely have the time to attend church gatherings, fellowships and even weekly services .. And as a christian, I know that it could cause one to fall back and backslide, as I've seen a lot times and heard from a lot of peoples testimonies .. they start backsliding when they spend less time with the church and more time with the world because it's during this time that they would be influenced to spend less time with God .. its under this situation that a christian tend to be stagnant and hindered from growing. Because it is during this time that you'd feel that your in a world where temptations and evil are all around you and you're weak and alone, you'll think that you'll have to fight the battle against temptation on your own . But think again !! You're not alone ! We were never alone ! Because GOD IS WITH US .. EVERY TIME, EVERYWHERE !! Stand firm in His presence and Be still under His guidance, Stick with Him, don't run away .. because He will not just fight with you ! He will fight for you !! His presence outnumbers a multitude of believers ! In times when the church is not there to help, God is surely there ! God is always there .. Depend on Him .. Run towards Him first .. seek Him first above anyone else for guidance and encouragement, the church is there to empower but the ultimate source of power is still God, it's always been Him.
