One in a Billion Faces:

One day, the world will stand still. One day, it will be just you standing in a pile of your own ideas. You will be just one in a billion faces. There will be no story to tell, no fairy tale. There will be no epic, neither will there be any poetry. There will be no major hero, for at some point we will all become heroes of our own destinies. There will be no Science fiction, neither will there be a fantasy flick. It will not be merely an action movie or an adventure series. It will not be an animation either, because it will be as real as it gets. It will not be a drama, or a musical, or a thriller, or even romance. It will be you, as one face amongst a billion faces.

One day, you will choose your own path. One day, you will declare your choice. One day, you will choose your own destiny.

Being different is often a taboo. We often want to roll with the crowds and be seen amongst the the best, and it isn't such a bad thing either...sometimes anyway. But I tell you, you will be just one in a billion faces when you decide to do it God's way.

This year, you are going to make a lot of choices, really hard ones. I feel very strongly that this year is different. Not because a prophet told me so or a pastor said it, no. It is my very own feeling. A deep feeling I have had since the year began. I feel that a lot of us will have to make very difficult choices, and we will have to do it either God's way or the world's way. As it is, the world consists of six billion, seven hundred and six million, nine hundred and ninety-three thousand, and one hundred and fifty two people.

The world seems to have the majority vote on your life. The world seems to know what's best for you. The world and its lovely fashion; the world and its intercontinental exotic choices of foods, the world and its multicultural sense of feeling; the world and its seven wonders; the world and its kings, Queens, and Presidents...the world and its beautiful way of life.
.
Yet, although it may sound incredulous and insane, today I boldly present to you an even greater wonder: the Creator and Architect of this world of wonders. It is His way that is the majority, although in the facade of this world you may not see the direction of His hands. This year, you have to find it though. Take it upon yourself to find Him. Let Him give you the direction that you truly deserve for your life. You have been running around the SAME MOUNTAIN for too long now, there is actually a better way to do it. That idea or vision you have needs a touch from Him, this is the best time ever to get that touch. The woman with the issue of blood waited for twelve years, but when she realized that it was her moment, she touched the hem of the garment of Jesus. Could this be your time to touch the hem of His garment too? I don't know, but you do.

Don't be one who is lost in a sea of a billion faces. You can find God this year and be a unique face, even among a billion faces. Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find. You may feel like you are all alone when you make that decision, but I stand boldly to say that you are in the majority, first on earth and then in places of your wildest dreams.
