This has been an amazing week, i must say. (:
What a pleasant surprise to have Jesus revealing more of His Glory to me at such a time!
Thank God for giving me the courage to take up the responsibility of FireAC planning for the week. It proved to be an immense blessing.
It started off with God guiding me through the planning process, a long drawn out one with brand new insights into the “same old stuff” (Humility & Faith). Then came a defining and life-transforming sharing on Monday (i can bear witness to the fact that it is indeed possible to change lives within 20min, with the empowerment and the revelation of the Holy Spirit). A beautiful hymn was being taught too! Thanks John and Tim! (:
Tuesday was a bit of an unsettling surprise, but it allowed me to gain access into Daniel’s spiritual journal, where i caught sight of a very puissant analogy of silver and silversmith, which speaks of sanctification, and Christ-likeness. Then the Spirit of Truth and Holiness ministered to me when i was alone. He revealed to me my sins of greed and covetousness, rebuked me of not counting the cost of being a true disciple, challenged me to confess my sins to those who are held accountable for my actions and those i’ve offended, and finally assured me of salvation. After this, i gained the conviction to push for holiness with compassion (i’m a wretched sinner, it’s God’s Grace that has made all the difference. i have no right to judge anyone).
Wednesday Kenneth shared a powerful message on practicing faith and humility in our exams. We were somewhat forced to take notes. A very good idea actually. It was quite an experience with the howling wind and twirling leaves as well (:
Farewell Chapel was extremely moving… well shall not go into that…
Thursday was small groups prayer. Timlim, Timliang, Pettypoo<3 and i prayed for one another. (:
Friday was full worship in full-blast thunderstorm. Mervyn the Worship leader literarily had to compete with the thunders (it was a cappella btw!) and Benedict was literarily dripping wet (so wet that he couldn’t even take his seat on the floor) as he braved through the storms just to make it in time for FireAC. God’s hand can be clearly seen in the choice of songs that ended with Refiner’s Fire (can you see the connection? Isn’t it just so amazing?!).
FireAC meeting after school. Accountability among the girls after that. (: With my dearest jellyfish and petguin<33! Really amazing that 3 of us read the same verse at about the same time during our QT! (2 Tim 1:7 =))
Had Bible Study under Mr Lee today after Econs “tuition” with Mark under Charles who always enriches our minds, calms our hearts and boost our spirits (Thanks so much sir!!!).
<3 Samantha!
Discussed FireAC planning with Pet and KABOOM, exactly what God has been telling me as well!
Went to church after that and had a sermon entitled “Moments and Opportunity”, which in essence is about trusting in God’s grace in obedience. Had a good talk with Ruoen as well, after a long long time. (=
On the way home, Anna sent me an sms out of the blue: Proverbs 4:23, which has been at the back of my mind since the beginning of the week… God is truly amazing!
Oh, and Happy Birthday John (:
