Deja-Vu`
last week pst shared about the topic "deja-vu" and how our time; if fully maximised and used; is also our main financial source. although initially i was trying to settle myself in the service (as it is not easy to be able to pay attention when you're perspiring all over after choir duty), i felt a sense of peace in my heart and mind after the service. God spoke and clarified a few issues in my life which i prayed about it a few days ago the sat service. To me, it's not just another service last week. But it's one that is special in one way or another. The presence of God was hovering around the entire hall; thus though i was hot and perspiring all over, His presence just calmed me down and settled me in.
I'm really thankful and blessed for what God has done for me last week. :)
in this blog entry, i'm not going to use sophiscated words nor bombastic sentence structure to capture your attention. But it's simply what i want to say from the bottom of my heart; a new heart that God've given me. Before service last week, during my own quiet time, i was praying for guidance in my career path and which option should i choose in 2006? Don't get me wrong. I like my present job; working as an IT teacher in school. Because the interaction with the students alone is more than sufficient to make up for all the areas that others might find lacking in the job itself (lack of 13th mth bonus etc)..haha!
As i've always mentioned to my friends, i like my students a lot and i really treasured them. Why? Because i could see so much potential in them and if they're harnessed properly, we could be seeing a new generation of young adults in the next 10 years or so. Pst shared that most of us are just uncultivated. So true isn't it? Maybe even within the midst of our own social circle, there're future musicians, artists, bankers, teachers and so many more!
We've got to find our destiny and purpose in life!
Back to sharing thoughts from my heart. The bible says that as we come before His altar with an open and expectant heart, as we worship His name in spirit and in truth, He is going to draw near to us like never before. Last week, before i went for service, i purposed in my heart that i am not going to fulfil a duty; serve yet another day; sing another 2 praise and 2 worship songs on stage. But i told myself "Be expectant. Come before God with a broken and contrited heart" "So He is able to use you to touch the congregation" As we're doing the sound check on stage, His presence just came upon me and a few other choir members and we wept like never before in our lives.
It doesn't take centuries to change and pursue your dreams. All it takes is a touch from Heaven.
As i begin a new week, i want to purpose to live each day without time limits. To live with eternity in my heart. To dare to pursue dreams that He has placed in me. To walk in His will and thus therefore fulfil my destiny.
Dreams that are not fulfilled; Emotions that are not submitted to Him; A Life that is not yet changed.
Lift it all to Jesus. For He is the author and finisher of our faith.
And i believe that you can do the same too. God bless.
