Had clm today. Very tired today, but still fired up for God. Planning to do a really long QT and worship session today.
God has made me realize that my relationship with him must come first before all else. Not ministry, not studies, not even myself. God comes first. I have been doing God's work without God all this while. God has been a tool, not a friend. Thank God for this LC that he opened up my eyes to my mistakes and made me realize how much I need to quieten down and talk to God and really spend time with him, not just pray for spiritual fruits. I have been a plant, stuck under a stone, not able to grow or bear any fruits because my own growth is hindered. No matter how hard i try to scatter my seeds, they do not grow because they are not mature yet.
Well.. I guess it was God's lesson for me. Not just peserverence, but also that the relationship with God himself comes first. Thank God for people especially Pastor Angela,lisa and Arlene ( sorry if spelt wrongly ), who gave me a word, Pastor Brendan who shared the wonderful scientific stuffs, Pastor Jeff, Pastor Simon and Pastor PN who done a great job in their teachings. Thank God also for the various pastors like Pastor Willie who shared his experience in the Middle-East.
To my sheep Timothy,
Im really sorry for not doing my best as a shepherd. Often at times i found it hard to realte to you, as I was afraid you might look down on me. Many times i tried to speak to you, tried to encourage you, but i was afraid that you might not accept them. I just want to take this chance to say, I really love you dear sheep. Don't be discouraged. I have only just started to change. Dont give up on this yeah? Also, dont always have this view about people who always seem to ask you to become a leader. As your shepherd, I strongly believe God's plan for you is to glorify him through your drama talents.
You have an admirable ambition for Christ. Don't give it up! In whatever you do, do it for God. That's all taht matters! I don't care what CL, UL or DL you become, because at the end of the day, God cares about you, not your achievements. If you have failed to get closer to God, you have failed God. Dont give up yeah?
Don't lose your confidence or lose your focus. Your path is already lined up for you. Don't stray away from God's plan! Backsliding is not the best way for you. Im not saying this in order to keep you, but I hope you reflect upon this. God be with you in whatever you do.
The week i was away, many things happened. I finally realized how much self-discipline this group lacks. People die spiritually when im gone. Literally. Guys, give me one last chance. Ill set things right.
Father in Heaven,
I pray for a breakthrough and a revival in Central B 1. I pray that the people will open up their eyes to you and seek you for help in everything they do. I pray that you will reveal yourself to them as you did to me. I pray that you speak to them, encourage and empower them. Lord i thank you for the sacrifice. I thank you for the cross. I pray that as i serve you, I do not neglect you and keep closely in line with my relationship with you. Father help me in this, and i pray for a revival in this desperate moments. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen
