Tuesday, August 19 Last year 2007 has been a fruitful year to me in learning of God’s words. Life wasn’t the same anymore when I’m convicted by the Holy Spirit to strive for God! To be frank I don’t really know that I’m change till some of our fellow YML and also fellow youths told me about it. I came to know Christ in year 2003; I remembered Aaron was the first person who shared Christ to me but I did not accept Christ into my life. Till year 2004 when I’m in sec 2, I went to church to collect some BB stuffs. Isman came to me and my friend and settle us down and once again shared Christ with me. It was then I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. But I did not start to attend church at that point of time. Only till 2006 when I went for a seminar “Chicken or Egg comes first”. Vivien was the one who coordinate with us to meet and go for the seminar. After the seminar I felt the urge to attend church and want to know more about God! So Vivien encourage me to attend Youth Ministry. The first time I went I felt quite uncomfortable as I don’t really know any people there except for Jorim, Isman and Kelvin (I still don’t really know Vivien during that time). Then followed by few weeks YM issued Sermon On The Mount (SOTM) PUP studies. At first I was like ok. Just try it out. But after I gotten the PUP I was super lazy to do it and spent time on it. So I started skipping YM. Till we reached the last week of SOTM I realize I only attended 3-4 weeks out of the 10 weeks. During the summarize of the whole series I felt that I really lost a lot of precious lesson! But I still didn’t really attend church after my N’ level exam. Instead I went to work and became very hot tempered and using of vulgarities became something very common in my life. In the mid of December I quit my job as I had chalet and didn’t really wants to continue. During the day I receive my N’ level result I manage to got into sec 5 I once again thank God for it. But sadly I went to chalet that very night and got myself drunk. But thank God I didn’t do anything foolish. During the Winter Wonderland it was then I set my heart down that I want to commit myself once again to the Lord. It was truly amazing! In year 2007 I started to be very interested to YM and every week the only desire is to look forward to Sunday! As days goes by we once again had PUP studies on Becoming a friend of a faithful God. I realize I really learnt a lot when I spent my efforts to get to know God! During that year YM organized CROSSROAD 2. After been thru CROSSROAD in year 2005 I was super excited so I sent out invitation to my friends. I was so shocked when 10 of my friends agreed to go for CROSSROAD 2. By then I had got to know Oliver and Arnold they had really been a great brothers in Christ till now. Well also not to forget Wei yang, Dickson, Isman, Kelvin, Zhe hao, Shuyi, Jolin, Shuwen, Claire, Vivien, Lois and also many more! They had been there always to keep me in prayers and encouraging me! I truly thank God for placing them into my life! I actually get to know more friends through Youth Ablaze! After Youth Ablaze, God gave me this conviction to serve in Project Timothy. After I went to Camp Mishkan, once again that is another turning point for me. Especially after the special night, I commit myself to the Lord once again that I shall not use anymore unwholesome talk. Times files I gotten back my result of my O’ level, I didn’t made it into poly, but at that point of time I felt the presence of God that he is proud of my result as I had done my very best! God then sent Zhe hao and Isman to speak to me how God can make use of me even in ITE. So during my JAE, I went for ITE course and didn’t make any appeals to any of the polys and I indeed joined Project Timothy under the guidance of Zhe hao. And something I learnt in Project Timothy about evangelism is “DARE TO ASK!” and never asks a question that allows people to rejects you! Just to share I used to have very negative mindset towards evangelism. Till during Project Timothy one afternoon when I’m having supervision with Zhe hao. He guided me to know that we wants to share the gospel are not because we had to, but is because of God’s grace! And don’t like evangelism = don’t wish to talk about Jesus Christ. His grace is everything that spurs me up for evangelism. Having his grace we are able to share the GOOD NEWS to others who have yet know the Gospel and we are God’s ambassadors to sow the seeds in this world! So my encouragement to those who have negative mindset of evangelism, think back on what God had done for us, God by his grace and mercy had used Christ CLEAN record to replace the BAD record we used to have before we accepted Christ into our life. And it’s something we truly don’t deserve it! We do evangelism is because we LOVES God! Labels: how wonderful God can work in my life:) Giving All Glory Back To God! 8:27 PM |
