Co-leading Cell
I actually had the intention to write this post since last week, but work, as always, was and is still a hazard. At least I manage to steal some time off tonight to pen down my thoughts; not bad. :D
First of all, initially when Min Shiung and Yiyi mentioned the idea of co-leading the cell, it came as a shock to me. Me being me, I always preferred a lower profile regardless of anything that I do. I am never the kind to stand up and assume responsibilities. Never. *loL~*
As Min Shiung and Yiyi were sharing about why they chose me; the shock sank in, revealing something clearer. I remembered at that time, I was reading the book of Matthew, so while my memory still served, this verse came to me.
When the first disciples were called by Jesus, they did not ask, "Err... why me?" Nor did they say "Let me think about it leh..." Min Shiung and Yiyi were kind enough to give me time to think over it, but I thought it to be a calling from God, and I said "ok". :)
It may seem like a reckless decision; in fact it is! To a certain extent I still feel I'm not up to it. Reason? I'm such a young Christian!
I still remember five years ago, I was a staunch free-thinker who ridicules people speaking in tongues, that they were in fact babbling nonsense. I attended church very unwillingly, and what the pastors spoke gave me drowsy spells instead.
I still remember four years ago, God's Word started to make a _little_ sense to me. There was no revelation whatsoever, and I was still dwelling in sins with an ever willful heart.
I still remember three years ago, God's Word began to take shape in my heart. I got baptised that year, and though still stumbling along the road, I began to walk.
Two years ago, as I finished my National Service, was the fateful time when I joined this cell group. Through bonding and sharing, we grew together in our walk with God and with each other. Praise God!
Just last year, I finally began to serve after months of procrastination and prayers through the church's choir, Praislight.
That's my very short biography, and I hope it dint bore you. :P The other part which amounted to my unpreparedness-cum-initial shock is that I have not read the Bible from cover to cover, not even once yet.
Nonetheless, as I learn my way around in life, in work, in relationships, in the Bible, in co-leading cell, I believe God will always show a way in everything. That's another message that I can share with everyone: God always shows a way; He will not place things in front of us that we cannot handle. We just have to trust Him and always walk with His faith.
Finally, I'm very happy to be able to serve everyone in areas more than my usual weekly-long-winded-sharing. *loL~* As I learn to be a better leader for God, I hope that you guys will be patient with me if I do anything wrong.
And since you are reading this now, won't you do this prayer with me? :)

Matthew 4:19-20
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

***
Father Lord, thank You for all the wonderful siblings You have placed in our cell group. Through holy meetings and gatherings, we are able to grow and bond strongly together in Your Holy Name.
You set our days right O Lord, and we continue to trust that Your plans are there to prosper us and to teach us how to lean and rely more on you than on our own strength. Indeed Father, that it is only when we are weak, will we find Your mighty arm holding us together, giving us the strength we need, renewing our spirit daily.
Let us not falter in our walk with You Lord. Your Word is the lamp to our feet and the light on our paths. I pray that You will guide our way as a cell to bring Your Good News to the people outside our cell, into Your house O Lord.
Bless this cell group Father, that we may have the wisdom to do what's righteous in Your eyes, keeping Your faith, and seeking only Your qualification and praise. May your plans be revealed and Your will be done in our lives Father.
Glory and praise to Your Name forever and ever. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen!

You Have Our Attention, Lord
The recent financial crisis is apparent, and although in Singapore there's not much effect felt, people elsewhere are suffering under the pressure. Let's pray together for the betterment of everyone for the One who so loves us, Jesus Christ.
Here's a prayer by Max Lucado. :)

I Hate Being A Cry Baby
But can I help it?
Occasionally some things will come along the way, touches your heart in its deepest corners, triggers the emotion centre of your heart and the floodgates of your eyes will just give way.
I wanted to post this video yesterday, because it made me burst into tears when I was just trying to kill time over lunch before I head off to church. I just watched it again, and well... you already know what happened.
Stories like Team Hoyt are indeed meant to strengthen us through all kinds of difficulties and struggles. Like Dick Hoyt (the father) who gave his all just to spend more time with his son and allow him to experience more of life, the same way has God wanted us to experience more of life through the blood of Jesus Christ.
I love my Father, and I'm not ashamed to make it known to the world. Pray that His amazing strength will work in us, and let us not fail to continue to spread His Word and love to those around us. I had done so little for Him thus far, and I can do _so much more_.
We can do all things in Him who strengthens us.
When asked what one thing Rick (the son) wished he could give his father, his reply was "The thing I'd most like is that my dad would sit in the chair and I would push him once."

The Evangecube
My colleague was showing me an actual evangecube today. I thought it is really neat as it will help put across an important message to pre-believers of Christ succinctly.
However, since I have no idea where to get one of these, I probably can't show it to any of you. But well, praise God for there are videos already available made to spread this important message. :)
Wonder if we could probably get our church to buy in bulk, so that this may be one of our evangelistic tools? Just some thoughts. :P
