It's been a GREAT week. Finally the 6 School Combined Sports Meet is over! Praise the Lord!!! Everything went on smoothly. The weather was good! You won't believe this. The day before the Sports Meet, I prayed for good weather. During the night, I woke up several times unknowingly and each time I woke up, I prayed for good weather again. Indeed, God is a prayer answering God. The weather was hot but it didn't rain even though there were threatening dark clouds at about 12 noon. My kids asked me what happens if it rained. I told that it will definitely not rain. One said the weather forecasted that it'll rained. I told them, I trust my God not the weather forecast. Really thank God for the good weather. Also thank God that we came in 3rd for our teachers' race. Got a $10 World of Sports voucher each. Praise the Lord!
On the same day, I went for an overnight prayer meeting. Wow! The presence of God was so tangible. I didn't know why, but I just felt so burdened in my heart and I cried and couldn't stop crying. Thank God for releasing the burden in my heart after all the worshiping and praying.
Thank God for His word during service yesterday. It's not the 1st time that I heard Pastor Kong shared that he wasn't God's Plan A but God made him, a Plan B, into a Plan A. I'd heard it so many times. However, yesterday when Pastor Kong said it again, it struck a chord within me. Somehow the Holy Spirit reminded me that I wasn't God's Plan A too. I came to where I am because I was faithful in what He has put me to do in the past. I was so thankful when I realised that and I couldn't help but thank God for all that He has done for me all these while. He brought me back to where I 1st started of as a new believer. Someone who didn't even know how it feels to be in the presence of God even after 2 years in church, has finally come to a place where she cries buckets in the presence of God. What can I do without Him? Where will I be if not for His love?
The Word of God says, "Many are called, but few are chosen." I want to be the chosen one. I want to do all that He has called and chosen me to do. Although there are certain areas that I'm still not good in, I believe God will train me up to be the person He wants me to be. I have to be obedient, teachable and accountable for my actions. When Pastor shared that God offered Solomon a "blank" cheque that says, "Ask! What shall I give you?", how I hope I'll hear that from my heavenly Father too. God will only give such a great offer to people who are disciplined and trained. In my heart, I "shouted" that I want to be trained and disciplined! I want to abide in Him so that whatever I ask shall be given to me. I want God's wisdom to teach me to help my CG to grow. To help the members in the problems. I want my CG to multiply, that indeed we are making disciples and His name be glorified. I don't want nominal Christians in my CG. I want true disciples who are willing to go the extra mile for God. Disciples who will eventually become disciplers of God. I truly believe God is raising up a new generation of believers who will take Asia by storm. I really pray for everyone to catch the vision of the church and take ownership of the church, to build ourselves up spiritually for the work of God. I'm not just a person who goes to church just to enjoy the blessings of God. I'm a servant of God! I'm a minister in God's kingdom!! I go to church to bless and be blessed!
"Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put in your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." -Luke 6:38-
AMEN!
