Double

Hmmm.. it seems that God has been speaking to me through my phone again and nowadays it seems that a number of times when i look at my phone clock, both sides seem to display the same number... like 22:22 or 17:17 or 21:21... kinda intrigues me.. but i belive it's a sign of the double portion.. i'm even claiming it to be a sign that God is gonna double our youth... :D

Spent most of today in church doing some random stuff... checked out RP website and found that they said that their facilities are open for public booking! That increases my hopes that our next event would be there.. and i dun think that would be our first in RP either... :) I wanna pack the church with youth until everyone has no choice but to get a bigger church building!!! (I'm tired of that ulu place anyway... :P)

Also spent a good time listening to online sermons and reading Che Ahn's book on fire evangelism.. and the Lord was just highlighting to me how much I've neglected prayer and how important prayer is.. and one of the things i believe i need to pray for is for the youth to have a heart of prayer.. yes God can move with just one person's prayer but i wanna see the youth having such a heart for it too.. cos it provides the power generator for us to reap the harvest...

So i was there in the youth room just crying before God and He impressed upon me that verse from Isa 58- "If you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry..." And that's what our youth needs to do.. cos there's a world out there that's lost and hungry for the truth but many times we've not been willing to spend ourselves on behalf of them... we've rather focused on our studies, cca, personal success without placing a premium on the advancement of the Kingdom... and for that we need sacrifice.. the church was birthed through Jesus' sacrifice, the early church advanced through much hardship... yet the modern church has been steeped in compromise... always staying within the comfort zone.. keeping to the status quo.. contented being saved and enjoying their gatherings, parties and hillsongs.. bleah... it's time we move out of our self-centred wineskins and onto having a kingdom mentality...
