A Great Week has passed but a better one is coming...

A great week has passed.. I'm so thankful to God for all that has happened.. so so thankful for the past week.. you might be thinking, what happened? Was I blessed with a car? Did i get a financial bonus? No, nothing like that, what happened last weekend, no amount of money can buy...

So what did happen? 3 of my friends came for service... 3 people who have not been coming to church for sometime came for the weekend service... I prayed to God for them to come for the service, I prayed day and night, fasted for them, believed in God that they would come.. and they did.. God is always faithful.. that I have no doubt..

It was not their attendance that mattered, what mattered was did they have an encounter with God during the services?. Out of the 3, I can say without a doubt in my heart that 1 of them had an encounter with God, I believe the flickering fire in her was ignited again, burning so strongly after the end of the service, I could sense the passion n desire to know Him all over again.. All the prayers, all the sowing into her life was worth it..Thank you Lord for touching her ... Now comes the hard part,for her to keep the fire burning.. But i'll continue to pray for her, continue to believe God for greater breakthroughs for her.. I'm so thankful.. for i know a life was changed on sat night..

of course i was deeply impacted by the message as well, how could i not be? How could anyone who believes in God not have been touched, inspired and motivated by the message? But it is not how I feel that matters, it is what I do now, after hearing the message that matters..

I' m not sastisfied with bringing 3 friends for a big day, how can I be, when I know that so many people around me do not know the Lord, I need more of His anointing, i need more of His presence in my life, I need more of His Love to love others...

I probably invited close to 30 people, only 3 people came.. of course there is a time and season for everything and everyone.. but I realised that I lacked the urgency, I lacked the love for the lost, I was so caught up with my career, my private life, that I neglected the work of the Lord, I neglected what was so precious to Him and to me.. I'm sorry Lord.. but I'll not just stay sorry, i tell myself that I must have the fruits of repentance, and so it begins..

For too long, I've allowed myself to dwell in the defeats of the past.. but no longer shall it be so.... from last week, I told myself that it was going to be a new beginning, I've put on my running shoes, I've started on the race of faith... again..

Everyday is another day to reach out to a new friend, to try to meet the needs of people around me.. God will give me the grace to do all that I need to do.. His Kingdom come, His will be done..

There are so many needs in the CG that needs to be met, I pray that God will give me the wisdom to meet the needs that I can, to prioritise... I will always remember what Bro Victor shared," How can your members bring friends and how can a CG grow if the needs of the members are not met?" Indeed, the priority will be to build up the members..

China....a Missions Explosion... words spoken by an Apostle to our church, a Wave of Healing... Words that I will claim in my heart.. a prophecy for the church.. It will come to pass.. when the man of God has spoken, it will come to pass..

This week begins on a tuesday, I will invite 2 of my friends back to church again this weekend..december is coming... i want to win souls for the Kingdom before the year ends.. and I'm believing in God that He can use me to do that..

Had a good time of fellowship with Pastor Ryan and Sherene on Sunday at the airport before he left, was good to hear about the situation in Kuala Lumpur and the challenges that they face.. made me appreciate our church even more..

God is good, I've sent out 7 letters to some architects last friday and today I've already got a confirmed appointment with 1 architect firm to promote my company's latest range of product. God indeed is faithful, as we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, He will sure take care of all our needs..

I remembered Pastor Ulf sharing on sat how miserable people are without the Lord, especially those that have tasted the goodness of God before in their lives.. I remembered when I was far away from the Lord, how miserable I was .. all the activities, all the holidays, all the luxuries in the world that u can indulge in can never compare to a moment in His presence.. indeed all I want is Jesus ... when I have Jesus in my life, indeed, I have everything..

Thank you Lord for your faithfulnesss even when I'm unfaithful...
