it's been some time since i last udpated le.. just wanna share some thoughts here.. some verses that i read n left me thinking..

Lk 19: 1-4 - Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way

Does Zacchaeus remind you of the 1st time you had an encounter with God.. the eagerness, the passion to meet with Him.. that you would do anything just to be close to Him.. Have you lost the fire within you, that u have become lukewarm.. that you are no longer serious with ur walk with Him.. some other things have taken over the priority of ur life.. is it your ministry, ur work, ur partner, ur frens?

Num 25: 11 - Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My zeal.

The Israelites committed harlotry in Moab, n there was a plague in the land because of their sins.. but Phinehas stood in the gap for the ppl n the plague was stopped.. it was because of his zeal, his love for God that stopped the plague..

Zeal - Enthusiastic devotion to a cause, ideal, or goal and tireless diligence in its furtherance

Do you have the zeal for God within you today?
