Experience Him thru prayer!!!
Not that I am nt aware of the fact that prayer works wonders, just that i have been experiencing God tremendously thru the work of prayer. How do i ever explain it... it's more then words that can express the marvelous work of Jesus regardless of the trials and testings that comes along with it. i thank God for bringing me Camarine, who is my mentoree. We started discipleship together some last month and the fellowship was awesome. I mean, she came as an answer prayer, God sent!!! I was praying that i could serve God thru discipleship since i had the privilege to be discipled by Cyndril since young. And to be where i am nw spiritually, tho not super but knowing that God is still at work and has been at work that i might grow to a stage of maturity to desire God's will in my life is the result of Cyndril's faithful investment in me. So as the Lord wills to use me with nothing that i can offer, for i must say that i feel most inadequate in my discipleship with her, i am most willing for his use thru this vessel that is of nothingness to being able to shine his glory and love to someone else. I am so grateful for this that i am able to join him in his work thru discipleship. Then my heart can only say thank you to Him when i watch how he blesses and help the youth worship ministry grow. Though very small but i still see his work thru this ministry. I was praying for more worship leaders who would come to lead out of God's calling more then just passion and guess what? Kevin responded and he is probably the last person whom i would expect to respond!!! It's amazing.... oh well.... i mean.... yah! what can i say men.... and Dennis who initially left the worship leaders' team came back upon God's conviction. That itself also came out of prayer as i was at a loss in planning the schedule and i felt like so helpless that he decided to nt want to leader worship anymore but somehow when God calls, nobody runs away with it in peace. God is awesome!!! Serious.... whatsmore, as i watch how the keyboardist are growing steadily in their skills, i'm amazed at how God is answering prayers. COme'on!!!! Watch and know that God is working... Praise His name evermore... evenmore!!!! that's what i wanna do in my worship ministry! To praise him all i can. There is probably no second reason why i want to serve in the worship ministry other then to glorify him with whatevr gifts he has blessed me with. Lately, i have been praying about going for a year end mission trip too. I was planning to go to philippines with my best friend's church but after attending the "condensed world missions' course" im so so burden with this vision of God to reach out to the world n tell of the testimony of his salvation that i realise that my burden doesnt lie in phillipines. So i seeked God about where he would be leading me to. I gained my parent's approval in going for mission trip this year. It was after 4 years of crying and praying that FINALLY God opened the door for me to go and join him in missions work thru my parent's approval. I'm so excited for i know that i'm going because i caught this vision of John 24:14, to join the rest of the fellow saints in speeding the coming of Jesus! As i was praying i also received an email from a sister from crusade informing me of a possible dec mission trip to tokyo Japan. I was surprised beacause i had an idea of wanting to pick up jap so that if ever want to go japan i caould spread the gospel in jap to the japanese, for very few of them there are christian. Somehow the more i pray the more peace and assurance i sense from God to go to japan. I was also led by God once so burdened to pray for the japanese with tears! I mean it just came.... surely it's from God. For i have nt been to Japan b4, how can i ever pray for them like that with such intensity??? I wonder.... it must be the work of God. Now my only challenge is to pray for a partner to go with me for i can't go alone. I was so near to just throw in the towel and say maybe it's nt God's will for me to go afterall, yet God strengthen my faith in him thru his word in mark2:27-28. it talks about the son of man being the Lord even of the sabbath. I mean, it jumped up to me so much that, "Hey!!! If even something like the sabbath, the son of man is the Lord over how much more for his work in the kingdom that i dun need to worry about!" I need to have faith in Him... surely as he gave the peace that im going to japan, he will provide whatever i need! For i was considering the fact that Japan would be cold and the need to get clothes for the weather and the amounted needed for the trip is just enogh to blow me away. but FAITH!!!! ok... its enough to help me trust that God will work a way out for me to go! Amen... Pray n watch.... God will never fail. It would only be that we are the ones who fails, for we lose patience, faith n trust in him!!! Brothers and sisters, keep serving n loving Him no matter how tough, for our Lord is only worthy of us to give of our life fully! What does it matter, after all that He has done for us?????? It's all about him...........................................................................................................................................
