When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
My Cup Overflows
You know I've never been a strong disciplined prayer, but now it comes so naturally to me. I don't think you'll ever know what I'm talking about until you've experienced it yourself. The breakthrough that God has so gracefully anointed me with, it really feels like the best thing in the world. My Christian life is definitely rising on a high and that is important. I had such a struggle before and my walk with God was tiring. Yet now it brings me such joy to serve Him, and it lifts me up day after day. I don't ever want to return to the days where I was in constant struggle. I now know the true joy of putting God first in everything.
This week alone I was in church 4 out 7 days. Pretty cool and it's probably going to be like that for further weeks to come. I just want to share something that happened on Saturday which I thought was quite funny. I was in HQ for the NUH camp meeting with zone 10. At the ending, Desmond sir was telling us that the next meeting was on the following Sunday and it was compulsory for all to attend. I could really feel my heart sink because I wouldn't be able to play in church !! But then, Hallelujah, he asked us what time we wanted the meeting to start. And Ah Liang mdm was saying don't start too late, preferably late morning. Everyone was quiet. Then I said, "Afternoon, 1 pm please. I have to be in church in morning." The senior officers all looked at each other for a while, then Desmond, with a tinge of hesitation in his words, said, "Okay lor, since Ian wants 1 pm then 1 pm lor." HAHA. Even our Zone Commissioner couldn't say anything and had to agree to my "demands". They all should be glad. Giving them opportunity to wake up later. Haha.
But I'm sure it was God doing His works that made it possible for me to still attend church. It's these small little things He does for me that makes me so happy. And it's these same small little things that so many people fail to see in their lives, that they fail to realize that God is present. I love Him so much.
Well anyway, after the meeting I made my way down to church for P&W practice. It was great. I decided it was time for the church to rejoice and be joyful in the presence of the Lord on Sunday, so we put out praise songs. And today's P&W was great !! I led the young and old to dance and be joyful in the Lord and really, the outcome couldn't be any better. After service they were all coming up to me saying what a good job I've done and how encouraged they are. They even said I had a a very nice powerful voice. HAHA. Which I really don't think so. I can sing but definitely not powerful. Actually, it turned out well only because I was praying everyday so intensely for God's energy to flow through. I was asking God to please please make it good. And their comments didn't sink in at all. All that was in my mind after service was relief. "Phew, finally over. Thank God it went well."
I was so relieved they were moved by God's presence today and that was all I cared about. My mind was in a blank, and I just kept thanking the Lord that I could make the tears flow, or the legs dance when I wanted to. But really, it isn't me, but God that moved them. I just pray God will continue to use me. And I believed it was through countless prayers and preparation from the entire worship team that led to a good session. The entire week was spent preparing for 30 mins on Sunday but it was all worthwhile. I'm not afraid to say I have a decent worship team with me now and we are capable of performing anywhere. Because of God. Now, I can't wait for Sunday to come again.
I wasn't a Christian since young. I wasted enough time. Now, I'm just making up for lost time. No one is ever going to take this joy away from me. Never.
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns, from Heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God
