Megalife service was awesome! We started a new series on growing up, speaker Ernie, whose parents were attending megalife, which was kind of weird. Anyway, he preached to us about independance. The ability to make your own choice is a God-given ability and at a certain age, everybody will want to make their own choices in life.
Many people may think that your decisions shape your world.
They are wrong!
Your world shapes your decision.
The environment that you grow up in, the school you grow to, the friends you have are all important factors that affect your decision. If the ability to make your own choices is a God-given ability, does that mean that I can do anything that I want to do?
NO
"If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create character. If you create a character, you create a destiny."
Making decisions are very important. Just a slip in your mind and you may end up in a place that you don't want to be. That will be quite terrible. Won't it?
Firstly, in order to make the right decisions, we need to honour and respect the authorities above us. That includes the government and teachers, church leaders and parents. Ernie gave us some very good examples, like remembering your leader's birthday and stuff.
I remembered Pastor Joyce's and Ming's. YAY! Jo rocks!!! You know how I remember? Pastor Joyce's birthday was the day that I got baptized so like, I sort of remembered. Novemember 18th. See? You have such a wonderful megalifer! LOL
I still remembered that on that day, we sort of barged into the staff room and sang Happy Birthday song to her. She was like stunned and..... I love Pastor Joyce!!! :)
We should also respect our friends even if they are not true. I firmly believe that not one of my friends are true. Even I am not a true friend, sad to say. I am working on it okay?
"The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray." Proverbs 12:26
A true friend is a friend to my destiny. A true friend is a friend that is Godly. I want a Godly friend, besides God. God is a fantastic friend, but i want somebody else, who can walk with me and talk with me wherever I go. God is wonderful, and I thank him for that.
For some weird reason, I have been skipping cells since the start of this month. I don't know the reason. Yesterday, so many cell members have asked me if I was staying for cell. I was really not in the mood, sorry. Sorry tiziana, heather, jae, sherwyn, shawn, samuel, dorethea and many more whom I have forgotten. I want to go cell, I feel that the Lord has been calling me back to cell. Yay, in cell, I feel loved.
There are only two places where I feel real Godly love. One is in church, either service or cell. The other is when I am spending time with God, be it praying or doing quiet time. Thanks God!
I am in a state where I am not looking forward to tomorrow. I sense that it will be a bad day, with bad things happening. I have a feeling that I will see Ahem tomorrow and I don't wish to. Oh dear, is that what the devil is doing?
Lord, hear my cry.
