Being a good missionarie
Just got back from City Harvest Church, the service was great! I sang with all my heart, on top of my voice, prayed and prayed.. God is just so wonderful! Learnt a lot in today's conference, the topic is about "Missions and Missionaries". All along, I have wanted to be a missionarie and serve God, but I never really knew what it takes to be one. Tonight, is the night God planed for me. I reached church at about 5p.m and had a super duper hard time finding the rest. First I went down two wrong staircases, then I have to climb all the way up to get myself a drink! My leg was shaking when I settled down. But, oh well... Let this be a little exercise for me. We waited for like 2 hours before we get into the main hall. Before worship starts, there's the healing tape playing. Adriel sitting beside me was telling me that it is very touching.. Indeed it is! I teared.. Worship was wonderful, I sang with all my heart, even when my voice is not well yet. I sing for God, not for any others.
Sermon was magnificent! My favorite pastor, Prof. Ulf Ekman, came to speak! The last time I attended his sermon, I recieved the gift of speaking in tounges. As mention, in every nation, the harvest is plenty, but the workers are few. Each believers have been called the sent ones. Looking for missionaries, look into the mirror! If there's a place that don't recieve you, there WILL be a place that will. Amen! Where Jesus is, you shall be! Yeah! For me, I have always wanted to visit Myanmar, one of the reason is En Hua Lao Shi and the other is, to reach out to there. Prof Ekman mention this which I agree to a great extent: I am not a Singaporean, I am a citizen in God's kingdom! Heaven is close no matter where you are. I can be under the drain, under some tunnel, but heaven is close.. I can die in some unknow country, but I'm not staying there! I'm going up to heaven!
Many times I am discouraged, I feared for no reasons, I worried for small things. I know this is the work of satan. Often I forgot God's promises to me, but from today.. I shall not. Fear not, because fear is defeated! Satan cannot stop me, satan is defeated! My ultimate purpose is to spread the gospel! Yes, I may be doing my business, but that won't stop me from fulfilling my purpose. I can be an entrepreneur, at the same time a missionarie. Faith is not a feeling, faith is a fact! Amen!! There's a world out there waiting for us to help, there's a world out there waiting to hear the gospel.. Instead of always preaching to the ones who have already known God, give the chance to those who haven and is waiting!
Becoming a missionarie is not that easy also, must be able to endure hardship and have the willingness to serve. Pastor Kong once mention, to become a real leader, become a true servent. Also, we should set our mind on heavenly things, not earthly things. Nothing on earth will endure or even last, only God's love!
Things learnt today is great. Never worship blessings, worship the blesser, our God! Jesus will provide! When Jesus plans, He will provide! Amen! When Prof Ekman finishes his sermon, I thought about the company. As I was thinking, God spoke to me. Prof Ekman was telling us publicity stuff that his church did, and don't know why I thought of IM Learning Technology. God says, "You are doing this for me." Amen! Praise the Lord. Yes! What I am doing now is for God. I may not be a good testimony now, but I will be a good one. As I touch the hearts of the youth, I want to share with them my "hope" that came to me in my lowest point of my life. Might not have to do with the business, just me. But I vision IM Learning Technology will spread gospel and warmth too.
At the end of the service, we sang "Shout to the Lord", I guess the whole worship hall really shouted. We are singing for joy! This is what it should be like, brothers and sisters gather together, praising the Lord, lifting His name on high! As we sing, I can feel our spirits united, out hearts united. God is just so wonderful! I Love You
God!! I'm going again tomorrow!
Oh ya.. one more things. As Pastor Kong was asking for offering for their mission trips, I was like, "This is not my church, should I give?" God gave me an answer. So what if CHC is not my church, they are doing God's work! They are reaching out, helping people, spreading the gospel! I gave offering. Amen, Praise the Lord.
I'm going to bath now and enjoy my ice cream! Oh ya, this few morning, I have been experiencing stomach cramp when I woke up in the morning. Don't know what happen, usually my cramp would last at most 2 days, but I have been getting it when I woke up. God, heal me, take the pain away. I know God you know what to do. I put my faith in you.
