just had the first cell mtg at my place a few hours ago. I led worship while Sis Ervina led word. A total of 9 people attended... of which all the confirmed members turned up! what surprised me the most was actually the fact that most of them arrived before time at the mrt. it was surprising cos i expected some pple to be late, in fact i expected most to be late. and i was on time...so wehn i saw them, thou i was punctual, i was very paiseh la. and then all of us walked to my home...
i dunno how other new cell leaders might feel but i feel weird leading a group of people to my house, esp walking a 10mins walk with them. i feel a great sense of responsibility being the person in front. it is like a burden that i have to carry through. it is not neccessarily in a negative way. i view it as a challenge, a mounding process, a chance to learn to be a servant of God.
to lead is to serve.
i am very encouraged by my cell tonight. i am glad for the numbers that turned up..i am glad for the enthusiastic and light atmosphere. i am thankful that Sis Ervina helped me a lot by leading word. I am exhilarated that my members would want to come for cell again next week.
all in all, i am encouraged by what i see.
and for the things i do not see, i believe in faith it will come to pass.
God will provide.
i really thank God that He gave me the faith to believe in Him.
without faith it is impossible to please God...
yet even Christians may not have the faith to believe God sometimes...
and i find it saddening that some Christians dont even trust God...then who do they trust?
i may not be a good testimony...but in my days as a Christian and believer, i have never seen God fail me, nor forsake me. I have never seen so much love in someone, as the kind given by God. It amazes me still.
sometimes,perhaps,
it only takes that little belief in God, on ur part, that makes all the difference in ur life.
i'm not exaggerating
nor do i want to boast
but all i am today, and the reason for my existence
is due to the fact that God gave
and lives today.
