Rev. Paul Scanlon's message is just simply IMPACTFUL! Once again my mind was renewed. Sometimes i've been thinking too much who to reach out to and all, filtering through who and how and bla bla bla....then usually end up with someone whom i think i'm convenient with(Of course)!!! But little did i know, there are so many things which are out of our control and sometimes a little act of kindness can bring such an impact to other's lives! Filtering who to reach out is never our part, it's God's!...and we don't even have the right to judge whether someone is open to gospel or not, our main purpose should be 'Loving God and Loving people', no matter who they are or how inconvenient it can be! Our very 1st concern - to be the ‘Light of the World and Salt of the Earth’ and Love love love!! But as time goes by, when more and more task and responsibility comes in, somehow somewhere you lost the focus and started to side track...things become routine, suddenly the excitement was gone and you just don't find yourself enjoy doing it anymore. And then i started to ask myself, " What is all this for?" Life without purpose is so meaningless, just like eating 'prata without curry', tasteless and colorless!!! After all, life is not about getting a good degree or getting a good job. Nothing is guaranteed in this world except for our SALVATION (JESUS) which gives us a ETERNAL LIFE!
Rev. Paul Scanlon says, "You do not need to pray and ask God to show you the LOST, just open up your eyes, they are all around you..." Yep, that's so true! We don't need a special divine appointment from God to know who to reach out to and so on, just open our eyes and start to notice people around us. There's so much for us to help! Find a need and meet it, find a hurt and heal it. One man's act of kindness is another man's miracle! This is so true. The '15mins Revolution' is gonna be fantastic. Spend 15 mins everyday just to show your love and care to the people around you. Show the agape love in everything you do, and do it inconveniently. Man, you will not have any idea how God is gonna move, and gosh…I BELIEVE it will be AWESOME~!
And if people like you, they will like your church, in fact this should be the no.1 rule to win the lost~!! No matter who they are, just accept and treat them genuinely. And believe that all goodness lead people to change!
Thank God for renewing my mind once again~ winning the lost over has always been one of my purpose in life, but by always believing and praying only without any action taken has lead me nowhere. Has been in a comfort zone all these years (in church), by having all the head knowledge input of how to evangelize. Head knowledge without practical actions really leads me nowhere! Coming to NTU has really bring me into the ‘REAL world’ where hands on and practical actions are needed.
Never have I imagine that I will become a regular member of City Harvest Church and goes to their service every Sunday. And look, here am I, attending their cell group meetings weekly; get blessed and exposed by all the international anointed speakers and powerful sermons from Ps Kong himself, being part of CHC community to impact lives!!! Gosh, unbelievable~!!! All these are far more than a dream….
And I believe that all these never happened coincidentally, everything was PLANNED! CHC has opened up my eyes so much, exposed me to all new things that never crossed my mind. Indeed I was greatly BLESSED! And I’m so glad that God included me in His master plan to impact this world.
Was really inspired after hearing how our cell group has grown from 2/3 to 20+ now! Amazing! More awesome to know that most of them were really transformed and changed by God to be someone so passionate now!
Once we were the ones among the Lost, and here comes this person. He noticed us and willing to accept us for who we are by showing his care and love. And because of His persistence and not giving-up spirit on us that we came to know Christ and got to experienced His greatness, and then our lives was transformed! How amazing is that?! A simple act and care changed a person’s life. Hearing all the life testimonies from my cg really moved my heart. One by one redirecting their life back to God and then here they are being the ‘Someone’ who noticed people by showing their care & concern to them; being someone who is part of God’s master plan.
When we go fishing with Jesus for fish, we catch live ones and they die! When we go fishing with Jesus for men, we catch dead ones and they live.
When things are done with a genuine heart, nothing can stop God’s anointing from flowing in. And I can see that God is adding to our number day by day, some of them so happen to know us and started to join in. Somehow, somewhere, God just bring people into our circle. It’s just amazing to see how God works sometimes, it blows your mind off~
I am truly blessed to be in this group of Amazing and Wonderful people, to be part of them in God’s divine plan. Touching Heaven Changing Earth~
I sincerely pray that all of us (cg member) will continue to work on this and do all things with a genuine heart, focus on ‘Loving God whole heartedly and Loving people fervently’ and put it as our 1st priority in life.
