Revelation For The Day...

Happy Easter everyone..

Just feel like reviving this blog.

Today is a special day. Today is the day when Jesus was resurrected, He lives again. I went for service today, had cell group and did a counseling case. It is a season of counseling and season of strengthening sheeps. Going to have another one on Tuesday.

As I was talking to my member, I asked the person, what is God's revelation for you today? Sometimes we get too mechanical and too in a rut while we serve God, therefore we lost the real reason we come to service and come to cell group. The reason we attended service and cell group is because we have to? Cell leader ask to? Pastor scold if we don't attend? People gossiping saying that we are backsliding if we don't? Or we really want to come and learn the word of God and encounter God and hear Him speak to us? Are we here to carry the offering bucket around to serve or are we coming to meet God? Are we here to strum the chords on our guitar or are worshipping Him? Is our heart complaining about the imperfection of the church or are our heart seeking after the perfect God?

As I watched Andrew (Jesus in drama production) being whipped, screaming and wailing in 'pain', tears wells up in my eye. I was telling Laverne that no matter how many times we watched the drama, no matter how we know the ending would be, we will still tend to tear.

It was when it hit me. Even though I knew it already, even I have heard it, read it, listened to it so many times. It was like God speaking to me at that time. Jesus still endures the pain, the whip, the suffering while knowing that you will still sin against Him. I imagined when Jesus stared at betraying Peter, while thinking, "I still do this for you, even though you break my heart."

So God, I came to church knowing that my desire is not to be on stage strumming my new Les Paul. Not to be appearing on HTV so people would know and see me. Not to preach to people so that they would come and thank me for changing their lives. But God, it was because of what you did for me that i honor you now with my service, i honor you now by tending your sheep and feed your lambs. Thank You Jesus for the cross..
