the struggle
i have a struggle right now that was raising a disciple and forming a cell group..
i know what to do.. share the gospel, follow up, train them, and even pray for them. i have now one contact who is faithful and committed but her lola is against Christianity. her lola had a religion strongholds, though i talked to her a lot of times and visit them whenever i was there and i felt that i'm not welcome there. a big mountain to climb up just to know God and grow maturely in faith.
another thing was my classmates and friends, not to name them but i'm always with them, they were my follow-up's too but it is really hard for me to establish my authority since they were my classmates and everyday i am with them.
the first girl, she really wanted to grow in the Lord but now she was influenced by those groups who doesnt know God, some of them were transgender and some of them were smoking and even drinking alcohol upto their limits. i cant rebuke her because at this moment we have no time to talked to she was too busy with that grouped and when i texted her she didnt replied.
then the second girl was really attached to boys, she cant live without it, she told me that she love this man and the other day another man she loved, she was a Christian before, and when we talked.. she told me that she wanted to change but she cant rid of herself with the things that she enjoyed. she liked it, enjoyed it.. and when i gave her pieces of advise she doesnt even manage to listen or to do what i say. in short she's not willing to surrender.
i think this one is the last. she had another church, she was committed to their church together with her family. she asked me one day that she wanted to have a bible study with me, we met and talked and listen to her problems. i knew right then that she was beautiful and surrounded with boys flirting her. when she started telling me the story of her family i listened that when her parents were fighting they will not attend the church. and last, because of her physical beauty and being close with guys, many envied her and she heard some gossips behind her back. i was confused whether to still have a bible study with her. i want her to grow in a personal relationship with God but she was committed to other church and i want her to grow deeper in her walk with God, she gave me permission to have authority in her life but right now im still confused.
the last was i myself. in this case, regarding with these different people and their problems, i too have a problem on my own but there was a peace in my heart that Christ is the one who is at work, he prepared everything ahead of me. right now i just have to be still and know God personally and desire to grow more deeper, trusting God that he will lead me to the right path and give me wisdom in everything i does. right now i want to spend time talking with God regarding these matter. i know that it is God i needed the most this time. when the roads i take is unclear..
