Just to take a break after long time of studying.
These few days have been so stressed up. Too many things running in my mind. Only left 10 more days for my final exam.
Oh Mama…. Help Me
Today as I woke up from my nap. I saw a sms from a member in my CG.
He said, suddenly some thing came to my mind. Did I do enough for the group? Did I leave any testimony back when I left the group?
This question really struck my heart.
I still remember that I ever make a promise to myself. That I want to left a great impact in the group. I want people remember me for what I have done in the group that glorify His name, but not only who I am.
Everyone wants other to remember them.
Let us continue to work our life towards the goal that God has set for us. Give a great impact to others and don’t waste our time anymore.
Time is precious. We only have one life to live, let’s live it to the fullest!!!
Got an email from a friend of mine. Something meaningful to read on. This is quite interesting. Came afresh 2 me. Hope it blesses u!
God of the Ordinary
by Richard Innes
"For many are called, but few are chosen."
There are many reasons why God wouldn't want to use many of us, but don't worry. We're in good company!
As another has shared:
"Moses stuttered.
David's armor didn't fit.
John Mark was rejected by Paul.
Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
Jacob was a liar.
David had an affair.
Solomon was too rich.
Abraham was too old.
David was too young.
Timothy had ulcers.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
John was self-righteous.
Jesus was too poor.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a murderer.
So was Moses.
Jonah ran from God.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
Elijah was burned out.
John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
Martha was a worrywart.
Samson had long hair.
Noah got drunk.
Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
So did Peter, Paul—well, lots of folks did."
"Satan says, 'You're not worthy.'
Jesus says, 'so what? I AM.'
Satan looks back and sees our mistakes.
God looks back and sees the cross.
He doesn't calculate what you did last year.
Sure.
There are lots of reasons why God shouldn't have called us. But if we are magically in love with Him, if we hunger for Him more than our next breath, He'll use us in spite of who we are, where we've been, or what we look like."
Perhaps today's Scripture could be interpreted as follows: "For many are called, but few prove themselves to be chosen." In fact, God calls every one of us to follow and serve him. If he waited until we were fully mature, whole and complete, he wouldn't get anything done. He will use us exactly as we are as long as we are available and willing to be used. In so doing we will then prove ourselves to be chosen ones.
Suggested prayer: "Heavenly Father God, I'm available—warts and all—please use me to be a part of what you are doing in the world today. Help me to keep growing so I can, with your help, become more usable. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."

Look forward for the 10th Bible Conference this week end. A prophetic church “our God speaks”. Really want to prepare myself to hear from God.
Happy 2nd Anniversary MAD Gen!!!
Let us continue to make a different for God.
