God really opened my eyes to the importance of the Word of God today. It is really the Sword of the Spirit when the devil starts to put thoughts into your mind.
Rae's advice: Never accept any responsibilities without the Word of God to cling on to.
I would mark today as one of the most turbulent days of my life. Rejection - Doubt - Faith Leaked - Apologetic - Remembrance - Warfare - Triumph! All within the short span of 5 hours. *Phew* Roller Coaster! I guess the devil is really a tricky one. He timed everything so quickly! Within a few minutes, I slipped into "momentary depression" (if there is such a term...haha). Thoughts of questioning my abilities and questioning my years of prayers rushed through my mind and honestly, I was on the verge of giving up. BUT GOD turned up. Wow, it was really the BUT GOD moment for me that turned the situation around.
Thank God for bringing to my remembrance a verse that Yuzhen gave me and that was my cornerstone verse ever since I became a CGL...
Jeremiah 50:4
..."The children of Israel shall come, They and the children of Judah together; With continual weeping they shall come, And seek the Lord their God."
At one point in time when I was about to give up on this ministry, Yuzhen encouraged me that the children will come...they will come! For near 2 years, I've been praying for the children to come and God moved! They really came and I know more are coming.
I was convicted by my own CG sermon last week! When God moves....
1) I choose to have Faith that even when things don't really turn out the exact way I want it to be, it is a work of God and I'll choose to trust in Him.
2) I choose to Focus even when thoughts of rejection come, I choose to hang on to all that He has spoken. It is all for the Kingdom of Heaven's sake.
3) I choose to remain Faithful. It's a new chapter, new beginning. Although things may got to start all over again, it is for His glory and I'll never get tired of radiating His glory!
When God moves, I move - No other agenda - Just an obedient and submissive child of God. :)
