It's been a great weekend for me! Blessed and happy! 1st and foremost, FIR came over to our church to perform. for the children and in the adult services! And I can tell you, the children are like super duper high to the max! I nearly got squashed by them when FIR gave out free CDs to them. harhar.. ok la, actually, it's only FR, coz only fei-er and ah qing came. I'm really blessed by both of them, not by their singing, but really, its by their testimony! Both have such a busy career, but yet, they manage to squeeze time out to attend church service on sat n sun, attend cellgroup on wed, find time for prayer meetings and discipleship sessions! So people, sometimes, if you really feel that you are so busy and have no time, look at them! Look at the people around you. It's not that you do not have the time, to serve, to be God's servant, to be used by Him, but it's because that YOU CHOOSE NOT TO!!! so stop giving me excuses!!

Anyway, the highlight of the week was really the sermon that Pst Kong preached! I seldom blogged about the sermons that was preached, even though we have awesome sermons every week. BUT this week's sermon was really just for me, at least that's what i felt.

I was reading this book that I borrowed from Joyce, Excellence in Ministry, by Robb Thompson. And there was this chapter about "preparing for the call with excellence' It talks about the preparation, a time of preparation is necessary before you are going to step into your calling. Another chapter talked about authority. About how we are to relate to our leaders, people of equal status, and our disciples.

Pastor Kong shared 3 simple and yet powerful points.

1) Servanthood is the key to PROMOTION
2) Servanthood is the key to AUTHORITY
3) Servanthood is the key to your DESTINY

Yes, how important it is to avail yourself to serve! God looks not at our talents, but at OUR HEARTS! Are you willing to be around, to be there and ready when God calls?

Pastor went on to pray for those who are open to go full time in future, if God calls. I answered the call, yes, i'm definitely open to the idea about that. And why i said that this entire sermon meant a lot to me is because God has been speaking to me about this for the whole of the past week.

It's not easy to put everything into words about everything that happened. But all i can say is that our God is indeed an awesome God! He moves in ways that are beyond our comprehension. Thank you Jesus!

Sone people are asking me a question. Which i have no absolute answer yet. Time will give you the answer that you are seeking. harhar.. :)
