10th December 2005,
1.43pm- still in the office. It's Saturday and tonite is Huey Meng's wedding. Will be helping in Reception. This morning wake up 5.40am, for morning prayer (leaders). This morning message is good- to prepare for the new season. Ps mentioned one thing- the new sanctuary getting ready soon. God is about to do new thing, whether we want or not. Got to get ready, or else some that could keep up to that will get retired. Probably I'm sensitive, or is it God that speaking in my Spirit. Ps preached before about the sermon "How to Run", whther we run with purpose, carrying the news. Or else even tho' we run, David said, "Move aside, You don't have news for the King". Am I faithful with the little God entrusted in what he called me to do? Am I faithful in that? How should be the change for 2006? A new season- return to the basic- Loving God, loving People.
When Ps shared about the mission for church, am quite fearful. More things, more commitments, a lot required from the people. It's time for commitment and there should have some sacrifices made. And what can I offer? To expand our heart, to enlarge our heart- willing to allow Him to expand us. That's huge challenges ahead. But a success begin with small step, a step to commit. How should I commit? How should I do with my time, where is the area God challenging me?
About old wineskin and new wineskin, what will happen if the new wine poured into old wineskin? What will it happen if the church remain just old wineskin and venturing into new church, new season? Can we take it? How should we take it into that level? Consecrating our lives, ever be ready to be pour out like a offering for Him... that is what he wants our heart to response. Am I responding? Am struggling- to commit, to give, to be tender to allow him to use me. 2006- what's the challenges ahead?....
