Just came back from a fantatis movie-300. It is a mind blowing movie, great drama, heart warming and totally awesome. I strongly encourage all to watch...pls do watch if you're above 18, cos its M18 rated. It's truly an agent of God's common grace, which God used to powerfully impact me. Men! It made my day.
Im at lost of words to describe it. It's simply awesome. I really really would wana pen down the story here, but i guess i should not. Cos you should watch it yrself. =)
"Your King requires you to stand upright and fight, while all i ask is that you bend your knees and bow... I am such a king and caring king..." said the evil king of persia in an attempt to seduce the weary.
Would you rather fight, for liberty to stand upright and free or would you give in to the easy way out of bending your knees, to bow- and unknowingly make the greater mistake of your life;to give up your freedom in exchange for salvery...?
Three things the weary requested from the king of persia: " WEALTH (which speak of Financies), WOMEN(which speaks of Lust) and...UNIFORM (which speaks of presige and honor)"
The fact of the matter is this, these are the three ares where we struggle in life with. The same temptation that every godly men faces wilderness.
There would come a time in life where you find yourself cornered, alone and no way else to go. You are faced with two choices ahead of you.. To bend and bow down or to stand upright and fight,with death in anticipation.
Would you have such courage? When the odds are 300: uncountable. When the chances are so slim, you're in fact guranteed of failure, defeat and the inevitable death. Would you?
Courage is really the decision you make, doing the things in life that are more important than life itself.
Isn't that what Jesus did. Im sure He knew before time regarding His unavoidable death, to save mankind. yet in all the days of His earthy ministry, He yeiled not to His own life...but to the cause which He tasked with. To Him, the cause and purpose of His life...is more important than life itself.
Live for the cause...
It takes character
For it isn't a task for the weak in heart
Only the elects are selected, and put to the test
Discouragements would come, even from people in the same boat
But it takes faith to see through eyes of faith, the opportunity hidden behind the troubles ahead
Arise, and shine!
For we're chosen elects, The best among the best
The creams among the crops...
Let not your heart fail you, nor your strength bewildered
For God's the strong and mighty fortress that can never be shaken
Stand your ground
Mark your goals
And run like there's no tml
For God is seeking such that would run in this race
One with holy fear and unquenchable fire at heart
One who purposed within him to never turn his heads to the side of the road
And the question comes...
Would you stand or would you bow...
Make your choice
