true identity
today i listened to Peter : A P.O.W Speaks on Identity by pastor wayne.(P.O.W means prisoner of war just incase u duno)basically talks about how we should choose we will be, our identity for short. and our real identity would be a child of God! living our lives and being who we are made to be, more like God.and it talks about 3 steps on sliding away from God and how u can prevent them!=) which is to be firm of our identity in Christ, not denying Christ by being proud of being a Christian and not afraid of ppl knowing tt! at the same time to be constantly pursuing / following God as close as possible! one thing from the podcast tt realli struck me was, God does not mind using people who have sinned / done things they shouldn't have done. but God is more mindful on using people who are honest! when u've done smth wrong or sinned, there will be times whereby we are ashamed to be a Christian and when someone asks us about it, sometimes we deny being Christians! which is the part where God wants us to be honest, as its ok to have sinned but as long as you repent and turn back to God, God will welcome you back home as usual! there is this part of the bible which says smth like, when one person turn back to God, the whole heavens rejoice! this is the part where God says, its ok. you can always come back home, to where you belong. and you are forgiven and accepted.its really great relief to know that we have such a great God. to know that He is like the prodigal son's father that will always welcome us back with great willingness. tho i tink most of us wud do this but still i wanna encourage some of us here to jus welcome some of the lost out der this wk home. if they have backslided before and came back, please welcome them like how God does it. and if they have jus received Christ, welcome them to their new home=)wanna thank God for providing for alot of us. and specifically for me and yiqin today cos there was supposed to be classroom training tmr but we want to put God's kingdom as priority cos theres cg and street-e so we told them we wouldnt be able to make it and tt would mean that we won't be able to sign the contract and start work we thought.but at the end of today's training, they approached us to sign the contract! tho it is kinda normal to have sign the contract first before proceeding with other training according to ppl who worked der but still wanna thank God! because we have been scheduled to go for training on saturday nite! and also have signed on the contract with them!! and throughout the training both of us got trainers who were really patient and friendly haha! yeah! really thank God for providing us with such a good job which is flexible in timing to a certain extent that it won't affect our ministries much! and many more things that are good about this job, that is to advantage for us! and yeah! come back for much more testimonies of how God is blessing us! =)God thank You for the whole day, for waking me up, for being my source of strength, for being my friend, for being everything i need and everything that You've brought me through today. thanks!=)
