Yesterday, Cindy called me at midnight, to be the judge of the WYZ youth camp project runway. I was suppoeed to be at the choir audition, but Belle gave me n Sher a break. So i went there today instead. And really the highlight is not about being the judge, but the word that Pastor preached about..,,the key to a breakthrough is to be in the presence of God. it was one of my favourite sermon which has constantly been a reminder of all that i have in God.
Genesis 4;16 Cain murdered Abel because he thought that God favoured Abel more than him.(Genesis 4:8) and he left the presence of God because he was too ashamed to face God, On the other hand in Psalms 51:11 David committed adultery and murder. But he choosed to stay in the presence of God. 2 men committed the same sin but their response to God is so drastic and different. One decided to leave, one choosed to embraced God and stayed in His presence.
And Pastor moved on to elaborate that the presence of God is found in around God's house, God's presence is found around God's priest. God;s preence creates a greater pursuit for His presence. A greater hunger for His presence. In 1 Chronicles 13:13-14, 15:16.21.24, talks about Obed Edom who was so hungry for the presence of God that he signed up to serve in every sngle ministry in the house of God.
Lastly, the presence of God reveal God's purpose. Pastor elaborated at times we may think that we may not be the best or even God;s best. But God will always use a plan B in many occasion. Many times in the bible, the double portion of God's blessing is often given to the 2nd son, which was rightfully the first born's. This is always the part of this sermon that i teared...
It somehow reminded me of how i became a cgl...i wasn't the most spiritual or the longest in church in the line of candidates, how i served as a singer, how i wanted to be a makeup artist though there were some obstacles along the way... the vision that i had that affirms me, how i became a chinese service songleader, how things may had happened at home and how He had seen me through...
i am really thankful for all He had done...will trust Him even more for all that He has in stored for me...
