2 days ago on the 24th during Arrow service, Pastor Daniel was the one who ministered to us.
He came out after the worship and HC by Deacon Lionel and instead of going straight into the Word, had an extended time of worship and just lingering in the presence of God :)
The anointing was very strong and one could feel like Jesus was just right beside you wherever you were!!
After tat Pastor Daniel started preaching after some introduction on how he had encountered the love of Christ as a teenager when he first walked into a youth service!
The youth leader had spoken over him and told him of a big hole in his heart, one which he had tried fitting many pieces into but somehow could never find the right piece.
What blew me away was his opening verse:
'Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.'
- 1 Cor 2:12
This was the exact same verse that a few days ago on Wed I had mass-sent to the cg after I felt a prompting to do so! Nothing extraordinary happened on Wed; I was juz on the way to sch inside the MRT when this verse juz suddenly came to mind and I felt that I wanted to send it out to encourage everyone :) Looking back now I am certain that it could only be the Lord Himself who told me to do so! I had hesitated cos I thought of a super long msg to send together with that verse and it was to like almost 20 ppl!! But thank God I followed the promptings of the Spirit, cos He showed me that the Holy Spirit is really dwelling inside of me!! And it doesnt have to take lightning and thunder for God to speak to us, many a times its juz that still small voice or knowing that you juz have to do something! :) Praise God for this wonderful experience!!!
After Arrow we went to one of my fav places to have dinner: Aston's! But we realised that the prices have gone up by a dollar!! Got the chance to share abt revelations in serving with Weiling also. From serving due to need to serving cos you want to advance the kingdom to finally first understanding the heart of the King before realising with joy that you get to serve n that He is always setting you up for something big and good whenever you do it :) All 3 result in the same outward action but with totally different motivations and feelings within!! God is really good all the time!!!
Now, as the recess week begins, there seems to be much to do. From Math assignments to researching on my Econs project to settling travel and hotel bookings for the year-end trip to extra tuition lessons for my students to finding time for leisure and rest... The list never seems to end! N we all know that once the recess week is over time starts to accelerate somehow. Nobody wills it to but it juz loves to pick up speed, bringing us through the 2nd half of the semester faster than you can say 'accelerate'. But well this sem I'm ending the earliest I ever ended: one full month b4 Christmas!! :D Its God's restoration to me for ending 4 days b4 Christmas last year :P
