Now, i start to know what visions and dreams are...
"The young men will see visions and the old men will dream dreams..." -- Acts
During service today, when Pastor Kong asked us to visualise that we have our own church building, our own stadium, an iconic structure that all Singaporeans regardless of them being christians or not will be proud of -- this is the first time i felt God telling me something.
A period of 6 months. We were to pledge a free-will offering to god to build Him a great altar.
The first time, the amount i wanted to pledge was $500, cos' i loss my digit cam in church worth $500 but found it in the end.
The second time God told me was to step out of my comfort zone. Last week, we were told to write down an amount to pledge to the Lord. I put $700, stretching my faith just a little bit more. i personally feel God blessing me, in all areas (favour in men, help from men, financial blessing, opportunity that knocks a lot of time etc). This is a real challenge already. Before today, i am still struggling to see if i can fulfill the amount. It's about $27 per week on top of tithing and offering.
Today, the final and last time, God shows me the plan -- bringing my family members into city harvest, having them by my side during service. Wow!! That's fantastic!! Does not salvation cost much more than any amount?? to me, i wanna them saved!! I read thru the guidelines on how should we determine our amount. there was 2 lines that made me decide on the amount i pledged in the end.
1. Does this involve a sacrifice?
2. Does it really stretches my faith?
My answer was YES! It means to delay my plan of changing a camera and to pray that the sums will work out right.
In case you ppl dunno, i just won an award with cash prize of $400. Before banking in the cheque, i have less than $3 in my account. =) think no one has ever been poorer than me rite? So it's really stretching my faith, meaning that i am now not working for myself but for God to build Him a great house!! =)
It is a scraifice, painful, but worthwhile!! Cos the whole heaven rejoices even when one loss soul turn to Jesus. Amen.
Anyway, i hope you are saved too!! You can join me during christmas drama or smth liddat. Sometimes got Ben and Jerry ice-cream etc. Will ask you ppl if you all are interested. =)
