Just came back from the LC @ JB. We spent most of the time eating and sitting... but it was a good spiritual getaway. The theme was "A Reproducing Church". A few considerations ...
Am i the right prototype/seed?
If the seed is right, its natural for the harvest to come and the harvest to be "right" as well. I was challenged not to set exceptions for myself. One aspect that God challenges me is the aspect of obedience. To say "Yes" to God immediately. Obey immediately. I find that many a times when God promps me to do something, i will tend to bargain with Him... so many times :( and i know that as a result God cant use me...
One of my "idol" is Cindy Jacobs.. haha.. i think that she rocks! She is a prophet, greatly use by God. Heard that her prophecies were so accurate. When she first met Ps David Chan, she told him "Africa, Africa, Africa!" She didnt have prior knowledge that he was involved in the African missions... how cool is that? Then she also gave some sharp prophecies to Hope BBK. From her book, i discovered that she didnt start off this way. She started off with God prompting her to give a prophecy to the congregation. She was so afraid that she didnt obey... then she repented and asked God to use her again. This time, God prompted her to stand up and speak. When she stood up there were no words coming to her, she realised that she got to speak tongues! She was scared but did it nevertheless God gave her the interpretation after which...(seems quite familar...hahahaa)
Then another time, God told her to go to one of the light shops near the street to buy lights. So she drove her kids to that shop. There were many "Sale" signs outside the shop. She thought to herself "maybe God is helping me to save some money". Upon buying the lights, she met the Jewish owner and asked him why he wanted to close down the shop. He told her that he had a terminal disease and he was left with only a few weeks. She sensed that God "was up to something". Immediately, she turned back to leave the shop. As she was walking, God spoke to her to go back to pray for the man and tell him that God had healed him! She was so frightened by that thought and mind you, he was a Jew! After some internal struggles, she walked up to him and asked if she could pray for him. After praying for him, she told him that God had healed him. She fled from the shop. She went back to the shop 1 week later after much courage and told the man that she was the one who prayed for him. Immediately, he broke down into tears and told her that when he went to the doctor for check up, the doctor said that he was completely well! From then on, she realised the importance of immediate obedience.
I felt so inspired reading her book. GOd wants to use us but are we willing? So the question is not "God, will you use me" but rather "am i willing to obey?"
God is true and so is His word. If God is who He says He is, if His Word is true, then obey completely and live for it fully! Is God's kingdom worth building? If it is, then go all the way... why start and not complete it?
Gosh... seriously Eelee, you only have 1 life to live... make it count!!!
