this reminds me of Sunday's sermon that Ps David mentions that we'll never know the power of God in us, unless we exercise it!!! How true is that? How would we know we can paint if we've never dare to pick up a brush before? How do we know our gifts and talents unless we use them? How do we know that we can study if we've never tried to read our notes?
and for the past few days, i'm just so excited abt the power of prayer! It was like, i prayed and the next minute, i see it come true before my eyes! It is so amazing....and it is true that we'll never know what God can do through us, unless we dare to do what God calls us to do in the first place!
I feel really honoured and privileged to be able to be God's vessel of blessing to others. A sense of joy always arises within me whenever i know that i've helped others, in one way or another. And through praying for people, God reveals to me his great love for his people, as well as His desire to use me, and for me to partake in his glory. woah.... sometimes, i don't understand how and why God will wanna use me? I'm not that holy (excuse me..), that well-versed in bible knowledge or spirit-filled (like speaking in tongues) nor am i an anointed leader.
But God calls me anyway...
Why? Because it is when i am weak, that He is strong. It is when i am weak, that i can be made strong by Him. It is when i am weak that my weaknesses can be made perfect. Amen.
and...God has the power to do what he had promised. Rom 4:21
sometimes when God calls us, we feel so inadequate, helpless or unworthy. But it is also true as what Ps David says, we are all inadequate! (anyway). God knows we are inadequate. Yet the difference lies in whether one is willing to step out in faith. only when u do that, do u experience God's power.
still don't believe the power of prayer, the power of God? Start praying today! God can work through u, if only u allow him to.
"Serene....i m so happy today. God answered my prayer and gave me opp to share gospel with my clinque who is a hard nut to crack. Praise God...." -an sms frm one of my church friends....
Do u believe that when u pray today, the sick will be healed, the blind will see and the lame will walk? That someone else's life will be different. that someone else will be blessed today. That someone else might be lifted out of depression?
and i'll say, u'll never know the power of prayer unless u pray..
