Whats With Your Msn Nick Ryan ?

Some people asked me about my nick, some already knew about it because they were there for the same sermon. Anyway, i felt like highlighting this 7Ups so here it goes.

7 Ups to Commited Christian Living

- Give up ;
Give up what!? Give up the world as in the lifestyle it offers, which is living in sin basically. Not to mention the bad habits, give it all up be it smoking, drinking, slandering, gossiping, and et-cetera. Some people have spiritual slavery, perhaps they went through some real hell in the past and it is not easy to let go. But the way to go is give it all up to Jesus Christ. We should also fight temptation, zero toleration in short~. We have to give up in order to go up.

- Grow up ;
Yes, please grow up you people!..... Well, all of us should grow up in our understanding on suffering and persecution. We always know that Jesus said "In this world you will have trouble", somehow we don't have this verse stuck on the back of our brains yeh~ instead then trouble comes, "Omg, Why does this shit have to always happen on me?" or some other similar response. The reason God allows trouble to happen to us is because simply he wants to mould our character. Sometimes, there are problems that God didnt put there for character building.. its because of our own mistakes, carelessness or misunderstanding.


- Shut Up!!
Human have a general inclination to reach negatively at any circumstance. So if you got nothing good to say, just Shut up!! If you start mumbling and worrying, it is most likely the people around you will be influenced by your exaggerated fear.

- Fire Up!!
We have to get excited over things of God.! Always burning whole heartly. Yes, even when you are sleepy or tired. Hallelujah!!!!

- Swallow Them Up

"The Lord Is With Us". Should not be intimidated by trouble, for the Lord gives us the capability to swallow up the problem. 'Problem and Obstacles are the things you see when you take you focus off Jesus, your goal'.

- Look Up
Look up to God, and the good things HE did at any circumstances. Thank him for blessings and obstacles in life.

- Rise Up
The enemy knows what you can be, thats exactly why they try to destroy you before you become what God said you can be. There is no retirement age to serve the lord, so rise up whatever age you are.

These are basically the 7Ups to a commited Christian Living!
