Saturday
I think today's a fruitful day.
Went to give tuition from 12pm to 1pm. Then went to buy something and headed for cell group. Cell group ended at about 4.30pm and we had some porridge cooked by Jason my cell group leader. Quite nice actually. Then we watched Animal Planet on SCV and had a good laugh at the cute animals. At 7pm, we went down to marina square to have dinner and to meet up with Max.
Max's a great guy! He is quite funny too. I think we can talk to him quite well. Thank God for bringing him into our midst.
Anyway, Arise and Build weekend was yesterday. Went for overnight prayer meeting last night, so was too tired to blog when I reached home.
Was reading "Drawing Near" by John Bevere while on my way to cell group. That's a book given to me by my good friend. Came upon this scripture in Romans 4:20-21.
"He [Abraham] did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convined that what He had promised He was also able to perform."
This is not the first time that I'm pledging towards Arise & Build. But this is the first time I experienced so much peace in my heart when I wrote down the amount of money that I'm going give. Tears flowed down my cheeks. But I was kind of happy. A joy in my heart that I'm giving for a cause.
In fact, I dislike the fact that we have to squeeze and go 3 or 4 hrs earlier to church just to queue up to get into the auditorium. I think its a waste of time sometimes. So many things can be done during that 3 to 4 hrs. And if I can't reach church so early, I have to take a cab, which most of the time it'll cost nearly $10. I'm not willing to spend that kind of money. So I really pray that God will give us a new buildling. In the marketplace, for the marketplace. Somewhere accessible and somewhere centralised.
And I also believe that whatever I sow I'll reap a hundredfold. God is a good God and He is a man who doesn't lie. He is faithful and true and will manifest His glory as He blesses His children.
I am FULLY CONVINCED that as I hold on to the promise I made to God, God will make sure His promises to me will come to pass.
That above scripture will keep me through.
