Tired

Chris needs energy really... He has one assignment to finish by this friday and four to finish by next. He's been really drained letely and need lotsa prayer... whoever is reading this, please pray for Chris...

Anyway, went to school yesterday and we watched this black and white film during EN2113 and it was quite funny lah... they dun make films like they used to...

While having dinner last night, i went off into those usual "what if..." daydreams... And here's what i was thinking about. Now you see, the Lord has been telling through so many people and incidents that the process is more important than the product. And many times in evangelism it works out that way.. as in many times, we're too conscious about the numbers... we're too goal-oriented, product-oriented.. like we become obsessed with how many people say the sinners prayer instead of ministering to their needs- like how many lives are changed, how many are saved, healed and delivered and set free from things in their lives that keep them in bondage... That's the process... they all have needs too and they need to be met but many of us are too busy getting caught up with the salvation statistics. It's like this- the world says: "Arrgh!!! I'm hurting..." and the church says: "do you know the four spiritual laws" and the world says "i'm hungry" and the people of God say: "come to church"... the world says: "somebody help me kick these habits that are destroying me!!" and the church says "if you don't believe in Jesus, you'll go to HELL!!!!"

I mean like it's time to address the problem.. i'm not debunking the truth in certain things that the church says.. it's just that people want a demonstration of God's power! If you're God is real, prove it! that's what they're crying out! And the things is, whenever someone asks us that, we should be able to answer them! We should be able to give them a response and prove that God exists. In fact, we are supposed to be the living proof that God exists!

The time is coming when during street evangelism, people are not gonna ask passers by "do you know the four spiritual laws".. they're gonna say something like "hi.. we're Christians... is there anything that we can pray for in your life?" It's abour showing that we care about them, not so much that they get saved. It's caring for the person, not the number of salvations... And the time will come that when we pray for them, we'll begin to speak the words of Jesus into their lives that ministers specifically and directly into their personal situaltions and they ask us "how did you know that??" and we reply "I didn't but God did!"... And the time is coming when we pray for them and we see the sick get healed on the spot, the blind men see on the spot, the amputated and deformed grow new limbs on the spot, etc.. It's about the value of that one single soul, that one single individual...

Last year, the Lord asked me "How far are you willing to go?" He told me that He had no problems bringing the people in, getting them saved but how far are we willing to go to avail ourselves, to disciple them, to love them??

So anyway, went for SSA project meeting this morning... and met Alvin in school.. and he was so nice to get me a bottle of water when he found out that my nose was running and that i wasn't feeling well (yes.. and you're all thinking about all those jokes regarding the running nose.. i know i know).. In fact, alvin went all the way from Engine Canteen all the way to the Central Library to pass me that bottle of water! Thanks Alvin. We all can learn a lesson from his servant hood. I'm sure that the greatest reward that he'd ever look for is to see all of us catch that from him.. that we'd go out of our way to serve one-another too! :)

Went for Engage in the afternoon and felt refreshed... really wasn't feeling too good. Thanks to all those out there from whom i've "borrowed" many pieces of tissue... not forgetting of course the gents which provided me an abundance of toilet paper.. like i said in the beginning, please pray for Chris. Chris needs it, ya... thx! :)

toodles! God bless! ;)
