Flicker


Hey! Its me again hope my previous entry was encouraging...
Anyway, I'm not talking bout the internet photo thingy but i was observing the flickering light in my room.
Have you ever seen a flickering light? If you haven't, let me try to describe one for you... a light going off and on and off again, with a low electrical humming buzz that constantly buzzes sometimes louder sometimes softer. Well, if you've never experienced this before, let me be the first one to let ya know that it's ULTRA irritating.
My room has only one light which leaves me with pretty much no choice to stay in the darkness. As i was praying, God showed me something bout the light, that i was like a light that flickered, there sometimes but lapsing into fleshliness and self-centredness once again. So to not make this sound like my own blog, here's where it's applicable to all of us...

How do you fix a flickering light? Sounds quite in line with my previous post right?

Firstly, we need to realise where the problem lies.
The problem doesn't lie with the Source of power, nor is it because the casing is dirty obviously the problem lies with the filament! The core of the lightbulb! For us our very hearts!
As we sing the song "Inside Out", (I have a book by that title) , we must realise how we need to be changed, from the inside out. Our heart needs to be changed and our actions will follow. Only a working filament will be able to reflect the light supplied by it's source of power and it won't make you think of living in darkness when you've seen the light. Its the same thing!

Now how do we do that?
We need to ask God to renew our hearts and minds! And READ His Word and meditate on it allowing it to change our behaviour. If we don't get serious for God now and start spending more time with Him then we will always stay as a flickering light. Obey Him and don't change ya actions change ya heart. Trust God for the inside cause He can work there! God can't stand hypocrites who change only their appearance and what they do, look at the pharisees.

As I say this I mean it for myself! I'm serious I really want to change in my heart! I'm desperate, I really want God to change and transform me. I don't want to be satisfied with just looking okay on the outside cause I know God's still got so much more to deal with me in. And I sincerely hope that all of us will desire so.

Even as we have signed the covenant on the Masterlife book let's really keep our lives and the lives of our friends in check. Till the next time... Lookie at all those lights!
