WHO AM I?
I’m Marie Ate. A SELAH MOMENT WITH GODChristian blogger. I started blogging on May 29, 2020.
A Student of the Bible, Worker of the Church, Writer from SELAH MOMENT WITH GOD.
WHEN I BECAME A CHRISTIAN?
I became to attend church, a Christian fellowship when I was five (5) years old because of our Mom who led us always to go to church.
Become a true believer of our Lord Jesus Christ when I was in my second year of High School. I could still remember what the Lord did to me that night. How the Lord moved in my life. How the Lord changed my mind and heart toward Him.
After that experience, I want to be used by God in many ways. God knows what is the desire of my heart, God knows that my heart longing for Him, His mighty work moved me and increased me.
I become a youth leader of the church that I attended; after many years God increased me, He promotes me as an Officer of the church at a young age. But God was not yet finished increasing and promoting me I become a volunteer worker of the church at the age of 23.
And now A student of the Bible. Preacher of the word of God. All of this I acknowledge by the grace of God. With His mercy and abundant grace, I am where I am now. Praise be to God!
DID I PLAN THIS OR DID I EVER DREAM THIS?
The answer is NO!!
I remember when I was a kid it is the time when my mom and I will go home. I took a glimpse at the front of the church where the stage was. I saw a church worker standing at the front and making an announcement. I remember I said to my mom, "I want to be like her." - words that I never planned. Words that I never take as a serious matter.
But you know what? It is the Lord who took this seriously, it is the Lord who planned all of this.
Why did I say this? Because when the first day of the class in school where I am taking my class as a Full-Timer at the Chruch I attending to, I was sitting and waiting to start our first Praise and Worship before the first subject we have to take that time. God reminds me of that day (me as a kid). It is like a clear movie before me. The words that I said we're like the sound of water. Clear as I speak it.
The second encounter with the Lord as He revealed His plan for me when we have a Youth Spiritual Retreat year 2014.
I remember when I ask God, about His plan for me, I saw a clear vision of mine standing in the crowd preaching the word of God. My heart jumps as I saw the vision. It was clear in my heart that I need to do it at that time. It was also clear what I should do at that time, it is to quit my job and follow what the Lord planned for me.
I believe the plan of God is better than what I have planned for myself. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
My plans are the opposite of what the Lord planned for me.
I never planned who and what I am now, I always recognized the fact that who and what I am now is called REDEMPTION AND SALVATION by God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
DID I REGRET THIS?
I never regret what I have followed especially when it is for the Lord. What I've done is the most perfect choice I ever did.
Do you believe that so? YOU MUST BELIEVE IT!
WHY?
I was in darkness but now in the light with our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to be used by God and to be a vessel unto honor for Jesus Christ, my Savior.
LAST WORDINGS JUST FOR YOU, MY BRETHREN
I believe that, if God did these to me, He can do also these things to you. He is never a respecter of a person. Whosoever, whatsoever, you are He is waiting for you to come.
Let this blog be your guide towards our Lord Jesus Christ, I hope you experience the touch of God through this blog.
Let’s run together with the race that is set before us!
ALL PRAISES AND GLORY BELONG ONLY TO THE MOST HIGH GOD.
