My journey

Sunday, July 30, 2006

Past month had been a futile experiment on the seedlings Ive germinated because most of them were contaminated. But God did speak something to me through the germination of those seeds. Some of the seeds appeared clean and sterilised for the first 2 days but grew up as contaminated seedlings due to the inner bacteria they hide underneath and i have to throw them away. It spoke to me abt 2 things:
1) we may still hide sins in our lives which may be exposed or we may face consequences later such as being a 'contaminated' Christian that stumbles others and grieves the one who 'germinated' us.
2) we have to break out of our seed coat dormancy and grow up as seedlings one day, performing whatever functions God has called us to do. Come out from wherever I am and start living for the present.


Even though my project does not look promising at this point of time, I will choose to trust in the Lord.

I thank God for the mountains
And I thank Him for the valleys
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through;
For If I’d never had a problemI wouldn’t know that He could solve them
I’d never know what faith in God could do.
Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His word.

- Andraé Crouch’s song, Through It All

Pastor Clement Wong came and preached at our service last evening and it was a powerful word from Luke 9:51-62. He challenged all of us to be commited Christians worthy to carry God's light and message to a world that needs God badly.
God spoke to me previous day when I was preparing testimony about v. 62 and P. Wong preached it on Sat!
1) Commitment w/o conditions
2) Commitment w/o delay
3) Commitment w/o strings attached

A lot of us reflected on our lives and re-dedicated our lives to God. It was a time of refreshing for many, including myself.

There's going to be steamboat event organised by dear kok chye. Really encouraged and pray that God will use him mightily in the days to come. Keep on praying for him to step out of fear and into love and commitment for the Lord!
