Total Surrender

Our forefathers made a very huge impact in our Christianity today. They gave their lives for Jesus. They are willing to surrender everything. How about us?

Today, we talked about a christian emperor, actually the first christian emperor in Rome, she is the headquarter of the Roman catholic church. Her city is known for pagan practices and worship. Sounds ironic to think that a christian emperor will reign in Rome, but that is just how God works, mysteriously.

Constantine, argued by different people if he is indeed a christian or not, was the first christian emperor in Rome. He declared that there is only one Rome, one emperor and one God. It came into my mind upon hearing and absorbing the life of Constantine that the Lord can use anybody for His glory and for His people. He can use normal people. Prominent people. Anyone. The thing that we should keep in mind is whether you are used by God for good or for bad. Pharaoh was built up to be destroyed. Esau He hated and Jacob He loved. Judas was meant to betray Jesus. Can we question God's sovereignty? Of course not! He is God. He can do whatever He wills. We might not understand it but one thing is sure, He has a grander plan for all things that had happen and are happening.

The Christians, upon declaring that ought must have been relieved because of years of persecution and death for standing for the Lord. It must have been very hard for them to live on life when death is chasing them, for what? Standing for the Lord and not recanting their faith for they know that God is worth it, that He is able to save them but if He wills not, then they will continue to love Him until the end.
