.: Mid week... :.
Went down with Si Jia for the church wide prayer meet today. Since initially wanted to meet some of you all, but most cant make it. Furthermore Si Jia also have not been to such a event, hence thought it would be good opportunity to let her take a look. Anyway it was a blessed time and so wonderful to come and pray for the family as a body. I remember our tribe used to go down almost every month for the prayer meet in the past. Being back there again definitely brings back memories.
Anyway the session was once again recapping what Pastor shared on sun, but we spent more time praying for the individual areas. The 3 areas are
1. Going deep in Character: Willingness
2. Looking far in Commitment: Rooted in the Vision
3. Asking Big: God’s destinyEven as Pastor Bellchin lead us in prayer through each of this section, one thing which caught me was she mentioned even through this year, as we want to grow more like Christ, we want to grow in the fruits of the spirit. She mentioned that it is not only God who will mold us in these areas, but He will also use the family to mold us, teach us, show us these areas of the fruits of the spirit. I believe situations will come along the way which will put to test these areas and hence God uses them to develop us in our character.
Even as we were praying for the last section on asking big for God in His destiny for us, Pastor promted us to move out to do something which God have already spoken and told us to do but we are still waiting. This will be starting some sort of a prayer group in my Sec School starting with the other 3 FCBC teachers who God has blessed the school with. It was so timely as well as I set next to Laural today in assembly, and we started chatting more on church matters, which I rarely do last year, even just casual talk with her. Many thoughts were exchanged and I believe God is building our relationship up. Furthermore I am starting to know more staff beside those in my workroom and also taking more steps to go out to interact with them. I mean I know this is definitely not of me, as I really hesitated much last year, and found it rather difficult to interact with the teachers. I believe it was this change in spirit and also wanting to be Pastor of my school, which just gave me that inner motivation to move out of my comfort area to talk with more teachers.
Even among the students, there was more confidence in interacting with them and also greater sensitivity in when I should talk further on God with them. And amazingly, just yesterday, as I had to stay back to watch over the vollyball team till they finish their training at 6pm, this girl who came once to church during the miracle catch came up and asked me if she can talk with me about church stuff. Off course my first reaction was amazed! This is what it means by God will just send people to you. I cleared some doubts she had and encouraged her to join us this Sunday at service and she readily agreed. And to think about it, I actually was very tired and knowing I had to stay behind did not make things better in anyway. But as I obediently stayed behind, God just blessed.
There are more thanksgiving to share, but I realized as I continue to just go deep in the Lord, and trusting in Him, He is just moving and blessing me. Amazing! Therefore the first thing I should do tomorrow when I return back to school is to try to bring up the idea of starting a mini prayer group with the other FCBC members and then to believe God for a breakout in the school!
Lets really be desiring for the Holy Spirit! Like I shared before I am really not living on my own now, I want to be living in the supernatural! Just moving by the spirit in every area of my life!
