God's Power

I thanked God for yesterday. The message by Pastor Edmund touches much. He mentioned many times, "Is God in the Equation of your life?" After much self searching, I am glad to say that the Lord is always in the equation of my life in whatever I do or when I make my choices for anything.

There were times I did not make right choices, having a desire to do something which I didn't know that the Lord doesn't want things to be so. As the day and time draw near, I quickly recognised that it was not in His will. I obey quickly and this save me from much pain, hurt and emotional disaster. I have encountered this many times in my life for the past 5 yrs. I believe the Lord knows that I have put Him in the equation of my life. I praised God for this discerning spirit and mercy He bestowed upon me.

Pastor Edmund taught us how to spell faith, for the first time we spell faith - OBEY. I begin to realise that I have walked this journey with God many times. Obeying is having faith in Christ. It is no stranger to me, yes, I have taken steps of obedient without knowing what's ahead of me many times and that's faith. It is indeed very challenging when you just simply believe that what God's plan for you is always right and His will is perfect. You can only be this sure when you have a great relationship with God. Otherwise, don't ever imagine or try, you will get yourself in hot soup.

Yesterday, was an amazing Sunday, words can not described how happy I am that I have make the right choice to attend service instead of going on a cycling trip with my family which was organised by Anthony's company.

I have peace and joy, just blessed. I saw God's mighty hand working deep in the life of one of my friend with great awaking. Just too amazing to witness it. The prayer was answered less than a week, I can't imagined it.There was victory over darkness. My faith builds up and confidence increase, my inner man strengthen. How is it possible, only with the Lord. Amen. My eyes behold the mighty power of God and my spirit rejoices. I only need to be a channel for the Lord.

In the afternoon, I joined the Basic Counseling skills training . A few of my friends feel awkward as I had already had a dip in counseling and wonder why I choose to join it. I think this is the only way to know the counselors in Covenant and learn from them.

Well! My friends do make me feel a little awk at first but when the class finished the 1st session. I was too amazed by Pastor Kay Kiong. He just delivered another Sunday message which was not on record, it was so powerful and real. I heard his sincerity and honesty before God and men, it so authentic. It was really no basic training but spiritual christian counseling. I am still amazed by his discernment and wisdom. The way he waited to hear from God and depend on His direction. He and his wife have a very close relationship with God.

I could identify with him the many incidences and his encounters with God. Though just a simple message like this, it gives me affirmation that this is where the Lord wants me to be.
He mentioned that counselors need passion and the most important a calling. There are some people's personality are not suitable for the ministry but some people have the gift. And being a Lay counselor, our walk with God is a must.

I fully agreed with Ps Kay Kiong," You can not do what God has not done." When God has not make His moves to do anything in a life, there is nothing we can do. Therefore, we have to listen very carefully when to go in and when to hand's off.

It is no basic, the training is very intensive. We will be attached to equip counselors on taking real cases. And all counselors are covered by prayers and accountibiilty with a good net work. I thanked God that the past 2 yrs, God had been equiping me and I didn't realise much until yesterday. In fact, the great counselor is still equiping me. How amazing? Our God is real.

After the break, 2nd sessions by Alice Lee. She wrote a book on teenagers. This lady is so experience and professional, she just has a way in counseling, is her gift. I seemed to see another Prof Fred toke. At first, I thought, if it is so basic, I will miss some lessons but now, no way. I will not miss a single lesson. It is just so special on its own. I have learned and heard much, just a mere 2 sessions. It was almost 6pm when the training finished, supposed to feel very tired but I was filled with excitement. I am so blessed by the lives of the two speakers yesterday. And will try my best to finish well with the Lord's directions in 7 mths times.

I have not blogged for 20 days but actually I have so much, so much to praise the Lord for that I didn't have time to write and share them out. The Lord has blessed me with daily revelation, most of the time from His words, many times through circumstances and alot of times through prayers. There are also times through the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Isn't this amazing enough? Yes, it is very amazing and joy unspeakable.

Just this evening, I was thinking of Puspa through the week. Wondering how is she in Cambodia and why she didn't send any report so far. Has anything happen to her, I just feel uneasy.

Out of the blue, my friend called regarding Math Tution while I was preparing dinner. She mentioned that she heard my friend came back to Singapore if she was not wrong with some medical problem. I was too shocked. This friend of mine don't even know Puspa at all, she only heard from someone else that someone came back from Cambodia, sound like her. I met her in my women's breakthrough weekend group. Is a long story, I felt so divine that the Lord will reveal to you stuff, if He wants to let you know. I have been praying for Puspa since she left Singapore to serve the Lord in Cambodia. For some reasons, I do not know why she didn't call me to let me know. To make sure she is the one, I called her handphone and she told me that she was almost near death and fly back to be warded in hospital for 27 days.
I thanked God that she is fine now. God has not finished with her yet, that's for sure. I have alot of little revelation, here and there every day. I wish I have time to share on the blog.

The next big thing will be the church camp for my family, I am fasting for a big spiritual breakthrough. Whatever it is, still in His time and if God never do His deepest work, I can't do anything.
