Thank God for the many provisions that He brought into my life. The blessings of good and sound teachings, supportive family members and also great leaders. The blessing of a good career.I had testimonies of friends who had their breakthroughs and I asked God, God, where is the breakthrough that you have promised? There were several times that I wanted to give up, disobey and rebel against God, but I didn't. Cos I know the consquences of it. When the nation of Africa disobeyed God, the blessings cut short furiously. I read it in an article from the Festival of Praise magazine.
Also, connecting with God is also very important. Once you lost that connection with Him, it is difficult for God's blessing and annointing to come upon you. That's what I have been feeling for the past few weeks. Spiritual dryness. I think not only me who experienced it, in fact, the whole church. But when Pastor Kong preached about the songs of solomon on friday, the annointing, presence of God came back.
Pastor Kong preached about how we got to go back to our First love, that is Jesus Christ. When we are burnt out, we got to go back to Him. go 80% and the remaining 20%, God takes chrage. It was awesome and touching when Pastor Kong lead the whole church to kneel down and repent towards God and worship Him. Man, it's been a while since I last experienced this kind of love. The wholeness of Him, dwelling in His presence. Then did I realised that God wanted me to wait patiently upon the Lord and trust Him. He will bring you to pass. True enough, the breakthrough began y'day when I received a phone call telling me about the good news in my company. More breakthroughs to come.
He wanted to test my faith also. To see whether I can sustain and trust Him and wait patiently for Him. Indeed perseverance rips good fruit. I have ran the race and here is my reward. Now is the time to test my ability. Ability in sustaining. Hardwork pays off. I remember my secondary school motto, success through dilligence. The word dilligence means hard work. The last few week's message on faith and opening wide your mouth was encouraging and inspirational. Especially when Mrs Yonggi Cho came to our church to preach. It was a powerful. The song that we sang; Wonderful love of Jesus reminded me of the hymns that I sang in chuch when I was merely a small kid. Thereafter, aunt lent me a book written by Pastor Yonggi Cho. It talked about the Fourth dimension. Wow, that book really broadend my mind. It hit me real hard especially when he said about how we can not be affected by circumstances although it seems hard. Another example was how his calling from pioneering 2-3 churches and how he overcame his obstacles inspite of objections from his members to build the World's largest church in Korea today.
Another book that I read was from Pastor Joseph Prince from New Creation church. He talked about the words we speak brings power. Also, what we confess from our mouths, it can destroy or it can lift you up. It affects our mind. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Cant remember which verse that was from. Argh, got to brush up on my memory verses. Back to basics, Haha. Well, I want to thank my cell group leader for the support and encouragements, calling me and and counselling me. I have understood what has happenned abt the friends in my cell. Gona give her a big big cell group present to show my grattitude. But I know that the biggest present I can give is to see me grow in the Lord and serve Him in all the ways possible. I have learnt alot and have grown much much more. Thanks for all. =D

In these time of spiritual dryness, all the more I should worship the Lord. In times of trials and temptations, all the more I should cry out to God. Realised that my love for God has grown stronger.Trusting in Him to bring me to a deeper level.
