Arise and Step Up!

Guess this is my first time writing a post on Properfaith. :D

I am from Christian Fellowship of Segi College Subang Jaya. Recently we had a joint CF Camp consisting of students from 3 of our campuses, namely Segi Kota Damansara, Segi KL and also Segi Subang at PeaceHaven Genting Highlands. Our theme was Arise and Step Up. We invited Pastors Alex and Shaun from Eagle Point Church to deliver the message during camp.

What I would like to share here today was the message that was delivered.


The Lord always has a plan for our lives. No matter how you plan, if its not according to the Lord's plan, things will never go well. Eventhough this is said, we must never sit around, idle. God never uses an idle mind. He uses an active mind and the people that we least expect it. The Lord works mysteriously in every one of us and in every way. We may be guided away from our plans gently by His hands and we wont know it at all. The Lord always has a Bigger plan for us and it will lead us to something similiar or something even better than that of our original plan.

People always have fears. They fear of being laughed at. They fear of being left out. They always have the thought of 'I am so small, what can I do?' All these are factors that are keeping people from rising and stepping up for the Lord.
It does not matter if we start small. No matter how small, it has the capability to make a difference. As the Lord had said, ''if you have the faith of a mustard seed, you alone can move mountains'' A mustard seed is extremely tiny. We as an individual have the capability to make a difference. As long as we do not give up trying, as long as we ourselves do not let our fire for God die down, we can continue to make a difference no matter how much time it takes us.

There are 3 main principles to keep in heart.
Conviction not Convenience
Its never about convenience but about conviction. Do not have a don't care attitude about things. Doing things out of convenience sake is never a good thing.

Truth not Trends
Make your decisions based on the truth and not by following trends. By following trends, means that you are following the trends set by others not the truth that is set before you.

Purpose not Popularity
Decisions that brings us closer or further away from God. Also, the Lord tells us to respect and honor other people.

Besides this, there were also a testimony from a friend of the Pastors, who stated that how broken his life was after a certain incident and it slowly began to piece back together after he accepted Christ. Now he is serving in the Campus Ministry, helping others to see that they too can make a difference. They too can Arise and Step Up for the Lord, just as he has done.

It is never too late, or too early or too small to Arise and Step Up.
