"Arise, go out there and build relationships with people, and at the same time, stay focus on being mission-minded."
It's nothing wrong when I look at myself struggling at these two important factors - mission-minded and building relationship. If you can manage both of them ideally, then you are prepared to become an evangelist or a missionary. What actually contributes to this type of ideal management? Reading the word of God and of course spending quiet time in prayer.
What I want to achieve at the end of this year is to receive the wisdom of God from reading the bible, through attending bible studies and applying the word of God in my spiritual life. It's difficult, when you have the likes of Facebook or YouTube standing in your way. Temptations from the devil do not actually take the form of any demonic powers or witchcraft, it is actually all around us, they are things that distract us away from the bible. And we become so distracted, that excuses and reasons starting flowing in like river waters, when we find ourselves not reading the word of God.
In 2010, I need to step out from the past, and move on to the future. I cannot be stuck in my own cocoon. Like a snail, it's going to be a long journey in the walk with Christ, with a lot of temptations and persecutions against me this year. Army life will be another starting point soon. My prayer for this year is to graduate from Ngee Ann Polytechnic without failing and get into a local university.
Recently, I've played this game among the cell group leaders. The rule goes like this, whenever a crude word is heard, insults or trying to bring someone down with negative comments, the person will be fined 50 cents. All the fines would proceed into the cell funds.
Guess what? I think I just contributed about 11 dollars already...
But I thank God, because it's the third day, and I am sure He will be with me to cut down on my addiction with temptation. (:
