Filling the open chair

Today's sermon was really a good reminder for me to be urgent in sharing the love of God to ppl. PPl are impt to God and God desires to use us. Think just now during dinner many of us mentioned a few names here and there and some of us have shared how we were impacted by the sermon (especially the part on urgency and the part on not to be discouraged by rejection).

Let's really respond to God's word and take time to pray for the many names or faces that God has reminded us. Be it our 'just friends' or family or tutorial mates. Let's really commit these souls to God and take their lives seriously!!! It is about their salvation, eternity. As what Jasmine has said: the Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2pet3:9)

haha... I think many of us ve many names flashing across our mind, not sure where to go from here (do i invite all? do i work on all of my friends?) Let's focus on 1-2 of our friends or family members during this period and we can work towards bringing them to the Christmas service. In the meantime its exams time, its a good time to provide support not only within the cg and bro/sis, but also to our friends who could be very stress over studying. We can bless them in small ways such as cards or prayers.

After thinking and praying through for our friends, we can add onto this blog and share to one another our thoughts, and even fears or burdens for our friends.

Let's go in faith, love and power from God. Pray that God will empower us to share and the courage to go beyond our comfort zone. But we have to take the step out first. Let's really trust God in this area. While we can plant and water the seed of salvation in their hearts, it is God who grows the seed. Lets go plant the seed ba :) Cheers!!!!
