Reflections

It has been a blessed day today. An opportunity to understand the word "divine appointment". Thank GOD.

Prayer walk today was just Joanna and I as i couldnt make it in the morning. Although we were just down to two person as compared to others who had their groups, i was thankful that before we started our prayer walk, we prayed for open doors and divine appointments. The first few households we knocked, i hesistated asking the question "Can we pray for you?" because the lack of courage in the face of other religions. After a few houses we finally got the hang of it and pluck up the courage to do so. It was a divine appointment to choose to do level 2 (just when we realised the blk we did was already covered and we planned to leave). After doing the introductions and giving out the magnets and asking about prayer requests... she shared a little about how she was being bothered by black magic. We prayed for her and carried on. Although after we finally ended our prayer walk and sat below the block, both of us just felt this burden to go back to that household. Somehow we both felt that we could had done something more. It was the same feeling and thus both of us returned to the household.

I thank God that we made that decision as she cried sharing with us furthur about her current situation. It was someone i recognise who was desperate and crying out for Him. She backslid or probably was never strong in her faith but i'm glad she said she recognise the need to fall back and lean upon Christ. *praise GOD* Angels rejoice as she reconcillate with GOD.

This was definitely the highlight of my prayer walk but several other reflections made me realised what a hard ground woodlands was. It was a town made up of mostly non-christians. While doing my prayer walk, i had a picture of how GOD's revival would be like in this town. As i look at our soon-to-be completed church building, i just thought... how we were really bring GOD to the residents in Woodlands. Revival would be seen in that town. Praise GOD.

On the other hand, Anna reminded me something while we were in school. She was sharing about how children and their childlike faith accept things easily. She was telling me about how she was sharing with these kids. That although now they may not fully understand what it is to accept Christ, but these kids would not reject Christ as much when they are in their teens because somewhere deep inside they have heard the gospel. \She reminded me that she was sowing this seed in the hearts of those children. Ryan mentioned during prayer walk that he reached out mostly to children as he managed to talk to quite a few. I was reminded to carry on sowing seeds in them.

Its been a blessed Saturday of reflecting.

Thank God for allowing me to grow in Him.
