No other gods before You

God spoke to me in many different ways, I want to share with you a humorous one which I have received recently.

During the Praise and Prayer on the 22^nd of February, when we were worshipping and singing to the Lord with the song “I will have no other gods before You, only You will reign as my heart’s King, I will have no other gods before You, I will put You first in everything….”, I have memorized the lyrics of the whole song, so I just sang it out with my eyes closed and didn’t think about the words or meaning of the song.  Since the day I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, He has reigned in my heart, and I thought of course there will be no other gods before Him.

Just as I continued to worship Him, a very interesting vision appeared, I saw small crown on top of my television, another on top of my computer, still another on top of my CD player, my book shelf, my car and everywhere and everything which I owned, I smiled at what I saw which I thought was a funny scene!

Later I realized that God was revealing to me the things I have put before Him sometimes, the gods of my everyday life.  What I have sung to Him I have to obey, to put Him first in everything. 

Praise the Lord for He has disciplined me in such a humorous way.

A book

Among all the things displaced on the table, the book attracted me, so I took the book.

I quiet down my heart and asked the Lord :

“Am I a good book to you, Lord? You have read me through and through”

Then the Lord spoke to me:

“All my children are like a book to me, I’ve read them from the beginning to the last page, but is it pleasing to me? Some books have no content inside, empty and a waste of time in reading.

I want you to be a bestselling book, a good book that people like to read, you must live your life worthy of me, if the inside of the book contain rubbish and meaningless paragraph, I will edit and take it away.

Be prepared, don’t hold on to it, let go and let me take over if you want to be a good book, to be read by Me and all those around you, I also want you to edify, encourage, heal and share your joy and love to others.

Continue to spend your time in reading my Word and also books that can make you to be a person with Christ-likeness.”
