.: 100K Blessing - Living in Faith :.
The 100K blessing was indeed a “Faith Training Journey” for me. God has indeed taught me to step out of my comfort zone and bring blessings to people around me. Each week of the blessing, I experience a different level of faith. I started off with only 4 blessings on the first week to 34 blessings at the end of the 100K blessing.
In the beginning, I took up this 100K blessings with very little faith, thinking that 20 peoples are far beyond my reached. As it was held during my school holiday, I find difficulties in contacting and meeting up with my friends. However, God gave me a good start to bless the first person upon receiving the pamphlets. It was a long lost friend who is about to enter into NTU. He messages me to ask me out to pass him my NTU notes. At first, I was very reluctant to meet him as I was lazy to find my notes. Just as I was about to reject him, I felt a prompting from the Holy Spirit to ask me to bless this guy and so I did. I was quite nervous initially but was surprise by his openness. This indeed encourages me to take up a bit more faith to start contacting my friends.
At the third week of the blessing, I went back to NTU with my spiritual mother and brothers to bless the students there. We prayed to God for ground to be softened so that we will be able to bless more students. I was not very comfortable with it initially as I felt weird praying for people whom I do not know. But God’s hand was over us and I was led by the spirit to continuously pray for one student after another. I thank God that we didn’t even face much rejection from them. This increases my faith to a higher level.
At the approaching end of the 100K blessing, I didn’t manage to bless 20 people. I was quite disappointed, furthermore on the last 3 days before it end, 5 more pamphlets were distributed during the service. This means that I need to bless more people within those 3 days. Just as I was feeling rather dishearten, my 3 spiritual daughters approached me to request for more pamphlets as they wished to bless their class peoples. I felt ashamed of my little faith and was strongly encourage by them. And because of that, I was motivated to reach a target of blessing more than 10 peoples within those 3 days.
When school starts, I really ask God to lead me in my spirit to bless as many students as I can. And God’s miracle was upon me. I put my total trust in him and with strong faith; I approached anyone that come into contact with me. And thanks God, in just the last 3 days, I managed to bless a total of 17 peoples. Furthermore, my 3 spiritual daughters also bless more than 20 peoples in the 3 days. They just approached everyone in their class. I was so amazed at their greater faith.
I thank God for this 100K blessing. Not only did I learn the joy of giving but also putting my faith in God, knowing that only when I say “I Can”, God will use me to be a winner for him, doing things far beyond we can imagine. God has already sent us out to bless his people; it’s all in the state of mind for us to choose to believe in him.
“If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t;
If you’d like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you will lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find success begins with a person’s faith;
It’s all in the state of mind.
Life’s battle don’t always go to the stronger or faster hand;
They go to the one who trusts in God
and always thinks “I can”.
God bless and Love,
Sijia

.: reflection for 100k campaign! =D :.
hey dears.
100k coming to an end.
i think what i really took away from this 100k is the "nvr-give-up' spirit.
even through this 100k campaign, there are so many times where i wanted to give up.
but as i thought of the many lives waiting to be blessed and saved, i just couldn't not bless.
=D
This 100k campaign actually allowed me to know more about myself.
i used to think: "wah liao eh, go up to people and pray for them. siao! so scary lohh.."
BUT...
now my mindset is: " wah! didn't expect myself to conquer my fear and going up to bless is not so difficult afterall! and some more, i am so much more blessed in return! =D"
as i journey through this 100k, i learnt to conquer my fear of praying for friends!
and and...
one more thing. i didn't expect people to be so open!
people who i approach during the street blessing with huiyu, were all quite open. and they readily receive. although there were rejections, but i believe, through these rejections, i stood up and go forth to bless, with my spirit even stronger! =D
Praise God!
and can u imagine, one day, you walk on the streets and you go up to this person and ask about the 100k, and he/she tells you that already, they have been blessed?
((:
so amazing!
imagine this 100k campaign become the talk of the town!
the whole singapore talking about it!
WOAH!
dear family, there's still one more day to bless!
so press on!
dont give up!
(:
i believe this 100k has changed many of us, but do not let this change be just temporary but permanently. for life! =D
i thank God for this 100k campaign because through this, i have learnt. i have changed!
i've learnt to love people around me more.
i've learnt how not to look at people with worldly eyes, but through the eyes of Jesus!
i've learnt to be more guai and listen to the Holy Spirit.
i really thank God for this 100k!
let this not be a task but a lifestyle!
many hugs and love,
adeline. (:
