Following Closely Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:01 AM hey everybody (: i just got home from dinner with the other leaders and pst josh and georgie kelsey. we had a great time talking to each other. there is so much in common between us and ain't it amazing how God can connect people in different geographical locations together just like that? the world believes in profitable networking but in God it's a spiritual network. we are bonded by similar vision, heart, values and purpose. that is such a cool thing. today's service impacted me to my core. it was just straight forward and simple but every convicting. you can feel and sense the conviction on pst josh as he preaches throughout the service. that totally moved my heart. but ain't it so true? following God is one thing and following God closely is another thing. people follow God generally but zone, let's not follow God afar. Follow Him closely. Value the things He values. Love the things He loves. Hate the things He hates. Listen out to His still small voice. When we follow from afar, when something comes across us, it's easier for us to drop off the race because humanly we feel that God is too far away. It's like you get sick of catching up with the person walking so fast, you do your thing and when something entertaining pops out by the street, you get in and you're lost. it's harder to fall off when you follow Jesus closely. let's follow Jesus closely. Listen to that still small voice. That's your navigator. That's your compass. if you feel a little far off, catch up this week before you're too far off which makes it easier to backslide and give up. track well... run your race well... keep close... in the army, during route marches, the key is to always keep close to each other. once there's a gap, people being using fall out and give up all together. Stay close (: when the symptoms show, you got to catch up, not ignore them. stay stay stay very close. FOLLOW JESUS CLOSELY See you around!
