Amazed

Dear Jesus,

Im so amazed at the work that You are doing in the midst of our ministry. Im so amazed at the love and vision that You've placed in our hearts and i stand humbled at the faith and giftings that You've placed in us. Right now i feel like Solomon... at the threshold of his career, he asked for a listening heart for who could govern Israel, that great people of Yours... and in my heart i stand humbled for who am i to be able to speak into people's lives? Who am i to have influence over people... who am i that i stand to play a part in raising up their dreams and destinies?? That i should serve to sharpen them in their giftings and in their character?... i'm nowhere near the mark yet still you chose me and im standing here with them at this threshold of something great You wanna do... who are we that we should be part of it?

Lord forgive us for those of us who do not yet perceive it... or for those of us who do but do not really give You and Your agenda much importance and place in our schedules. Lord change our mindsets and perspectives. Give us one mind, Your mind. Give us Your heart that we may be one... that we may move as one and that we may prepare for what You're already doing among us... You're the one who's going to make us ready... so i trust in You! :)

Thank You Lord for Raj and Jeremy who showed willingness to bring their friends on saturdays... Thank You that Raj is on fire for You and i can see the sparks of revival in his life. I was amazed at his simple yet enthusiastic and heartfelt response to evengelise to his friends and his willingness to bring them to church. I was also touched and encouraged by his bold and prophetic prayers just now before LG. I was deeply touched and humbled that you're using them... Thank You for answering my prayers that Your people will be willing in the day of Your power. And i believe that we're not even beginning to touch, let alone grasp the full extent of the great thing You're bringing about...

Thank You, Lord that Gideon brought his two friends today. I pray that may You take the Word that was sown into their lives and make it fruitful. Thank You, Lord for Gid's willingness and excitement. He's truly and encouragement to me. Thank You also that Jeremy's 4 frens almost came.. though they didn't come in the end, thank You for using Jeremy and Him being willing to even make the effort to ask them to come. His willingness also brings joy to my heart...

Thank You, God for Shaun and how hungry and teachable he is.. thank You for bringing him alongside me to intercede for the youth of this nation. Thank You for how You've been building him up and how You've encouraged me as i see the holy spark You've placed into his life develop into a flame. I know You're up to something...

Thank You for all the breakthroughs i've been seeing and promises You've given here and there, perhaps too many to write here.. but i know You're real cos all the things that have been happening can only come from You and i stand humbled even by the fact that there's nothing in me that could've spurned it about...

Thank You for my lifegroup and all else in soj with whom You've given me some degree of influence. Thank You for the giftings You've placed in them. Thank You that a good number of them carry the gift of faith. And i know that you're gonna use that very same faith as a building block for the ministry, the spiritual house that You are building! I thank You that it's the very same faith that enables us to move as forerunners in our church and generation... moving in the purposes of God, moving in obedience to accomplish what You've called us to... and by this very same faith we know You have something big in store for us... so let us be good stewards of the faith You've given us that we may put it into action.. that we may see Your Name glorified!

blesses and kisses,
chris:)
