Thank God that through this holiday, despite going back to school 4 times a week for band practices, I thank God that it was a period of refreshing as well as renewal of mind. God is so good that i can spend more time , knowing Him more and more. And the past three days had been good coz i attended three services at three different churches by three different speakers But all anointed by God and used by God mightily in the ministry.
On Friday, i attended a night conference- Synergiz - at Bethel Assembly. The speaker, Pat Schatzline, preached abt God's goodness and that God is our hostage negotiator , setting us free from bondages besides saving us and that we are really FREE! ( not Freepao!) And God has been really pouring out His Spirit, touching the hearts and delivering people from depression, fear of the dark, and it's so good. My bro even bought Russ Lee's album and the songs penned were fully anointed by God.
Yesterday, at COOS, after ice-skating, i thank God for teaching me to intercede for the people, praying for them, consecrating ourselves... Despite not attending the whole service, i learnt alot through this prayer session praying for the service , the speaker David Albritton and the softening of hearts and deliverance of pains coz' God's love is so unfailing and so overwhelming and it was really a good time with God , 30 of us praying in Room 301. We were supposed to end at 8 but led to the Spirit we were praying til the service ended. Praying that this is HARVEST time! Knowing how God really works and He wants His lost sheep to come back to Him.
So i also thank God that Gideon was alright with his left arm... nothing serious happened .And i believe it was really prayer.... Amen!
Today, at Elim, Buddy Bell from USA , talked about service to the people and not just to come to Church as a daily routine , sit there in the chair and juz listen. But he asked one question at the starting of the service: Why did you come to church?- and it really reminded and emphasize to me - that spending time with God is not only once a week but many times the whole week because God is worthy to be glorified...
I received this :
A Useful Vessel
It's not what we keep
But what we share,
Not what we have
But what we spare,
Not waht we clasp
But what we lose,
Not what we hide
But what we use.
A vessel HE will
make of you,
If small or great,
it will surely do-
Great joy and peace
will always fill
The one who's
yielded to His will
and it really encouraged me to reach out to those who have not received Christ. People reading this - You really need God and need to have a relationship with God. God is real in our lives, sending His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so that we'll have eternal life in Heaven ( John 3:16) So know that God is real and He really loves you!
and thank God for making this past week good!
