Don't say, unless you want to do.... =)

Back from Medan on Sunday nite and thank God for a fantastic weekend! Had a great time there with Ps Mark, Auntie Janet & Joy.

One thing I learnt, well more of reminded, was something that i caught just yesterday.

Thank God, i was given the great opportunity to share with the youths there =)

So one of the points was about how, sometimes, God will call us to do "unusual" or unexpected things...

So......

Just last night, one of my colleagues was soon to go for an operation (which took place today). So I felt that i should pray for her (she's not a Christian btw)....

so some people might take the approach of praying quietly, without the knowledge of the person. in fact i was "scheming" of how i could find an alternative route....perhaps i could SMS or email....

haha so it was like 830pm...i wanted to go off and i was prompted to pray...."God if i go back into the room and she starts talking to me, then I'll pray....if not hehe......"

So the power of John 16:24 "Ask in My Name [Jesus name] and yeah shall receive".....

She started talking......in fact for perhaps 10mins? we had conversation over work.....

And i knew....don't preach, unless u plan to do....haha....

so i offered to pray for her!

It felt weird, it was uncomfortable - it was unusual. but it testing my obedience and i believe blessings will be reaped in the spiritual....

SO my point to everyone out there - being a christian is all about listening out for what God is calling us to do in any situation...He's speaking, we just need to LISTEN & OBEY!

It could be in the area of a new career path, or how to handle a relationship gone wrong....God gives us the counter-world, counter-cultural, counter-expected response...

LOVE your ENEMIES
GIVE to those who would take from you
LOVE those who don't love you
Cast your net on the OTHER SIDE
PRAY when others worry
TRUST when there's nothing to see
HOPE when there's nothing to hold on to
DENY yourself
HUMBLE yourself
GIVE to GAIN

the list goes on.....God's way is the WAY =)
