This day started off badly as I was late for CH meeting cus the bus 88 i took stalled 2 stops after i got on. More importantly, CH meeting was great, it really refreshed me on my purpose on joining CH and a timely reminder that CH was MY ministry. What really gave me the most enlightenment was when P.Gary mentioned that we as CH are the first to be sent into the battlefield, weakening the grounds, in this case opening the hearts of the newcomers with our warmth. This is shall strive for from this day on!
Fuel was marvelous that day though many turned up late ;P we touched on the aspect of prayer, this was also spot on for my mates on that afternoon as Pi Wei who is pretty new, learnt the truth about prayer and what it meant to God, it was also really a great time of sharing within the buzz group as everyone shared the significance of 'The Lord's Prayer' to them. It really made me relook at what I do during morning assembly, especially during the morning prayer. Never did I really place any significance on it cus it was more of a routine, one that was boring. But from now, morning prayer, well at least for 'The Lord's Prayer' part, shall now bear a significance to me. But ultimately, i believe everyone learnt something yesterday.
In service, P.Gary spoke about how the World is stealthly influencing our walk with God, it really served as a stern reminder of the boundaries we ought to live by, not even threading by the grey lines. Well, I also have to relook at the music i listen to cus music some music have a certain meaning behind each and every verse and chorus. Therefore, till further notice, my blog music shall be changed to one that is of Godly worth. The example of how David almost fell from glory was a great example of how one would lose it all in just a moment of folly [2 Samuel 11:1-4]. The three main point that would be derived when one falls into this trap would be:
-Abandoning of purpose
-Fousing on own desires rather than God's desires for you in life
-Sin deliberately
Keys to build defensive line:
1.Flee from temptation [1 Corinthians 10:13]
a.Run from compromising situations
b.Run from Godless conersations, no values, very rampant in schools
2.Guard your mind and emotions [Proverbs 2:11]
a.accountability
b.Fear of God [Psalms 119:11]
c. Giving your best time to God
I practically summarised what P. Gary was preaching about haha. Awesome words.
