Hi Nissi Salt One,
This post is quite long and random, but please take out the time to read.
It's been quite a long time since I posted something like this.
But recently I realised something that set me to thinking..
Is our walk matching our talk?
We claim that we are Christians, but are we taking on the world with a call of God?
For me, I know where I have been heading, although I was late in fiding out it's the wrong direction, but better to be late than never right?
My purpose of coming here to post this entry out, is really to spur your on.
I know that my attitude towards cell has been bad, I apologise for that.
But I am willing to change.
But are you ready to make the necessary changes in your life?
God has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Remember?
All I want to say is that, really do start praying for those people who have not been coming to church regularly alright.
Don't we want to see our cell group grow for the better? And more regulars?
Really DO make an effort.
Keep all of them in prayers.
If you are bored, pray!
If you are thinking of those people, pray!
If you see this post, pray!
Do you know that all of them have been missing out on God's word?
The most basic of all, to chew on God's word, yet they even missed out their chance of listening for what God has to say for their new week.
Do take the initiative alright, I know I am being random, but I just feel that we should really start taking up the initiative.
Be it praying, be it serving God.
You DO NOT have to be a ministry like media, usher or cafe to serve God.
You can serve God in small ways!
Helping out people in cell.
Opening the door for people.
For we are called to serve and not to be served, so start taking initiative and serve God!
Do you still remember the covenant?
If you forgotten about it, take it out.

Look at Covenant of Availability:
I will also take the initiative to do something instead of waiting for some others to do it.
Instead of waiting for people, why not do it yourself?

Covenant of Prayer:
I pledge to offer encouragement and prayer for you out of a sincere heart.
I will not hold back to pray for you if The Holy Spirit prompts me to do so.

If you know of anyone who is unable to make it for church, pray for them!
Ask why?
Be accountable, DO NOT put Mickon in a difficult position.
When Mickon asks something, reply.
There is no wrong answers, if you feel that that's the right answer, just say it out.

Covenant of Feedback:
I will give feedback when needed.
If you want to ask Mickon about something, ask her personally, clear your doubts.

c'mon Salt one! We are one body of Christ, we need one another to function!
Pray that people will make the right choice!
If everyone can do it, why not YOU?
If everyone can make an effort, why not YOU?
Continue praying alright, for God hears every prayer so clearly and carefully.
Pray out your heart's cry.
Rise up, take responsibility, for we are all MINISTERS OF GOD.

Witness to the world - Brother Rixiang - 7/3/09

- John 15:8

> The purpose of a service is to let God showforth His glory.

Are you looking for God's presence?

> Connected back to the vine.

Witness - To tell what you see/experienced.

> You are a christian not merely to produce the sweet fruits.

Fruits are the outward sign of transformation.

'' Live the life and you can share about that. ''

'' Tell what you see, verbalise what you have experienced ''

'' Don't aim to be an excellent speaker, just speak what you see. ''

> Be yourself.

> Our methods might not be the best method.

Scarcity vs Abundance

Scarcity - Want to win, limited opportunities, competing with others.

Abundance - Plenty of oppotunities.

- Mark 8:36

Start to take the first step.

Things change when you pray in faith.

- Romans 8:28

- 1 Corinthians 9:20

How can you witness naturally?

1) Start what you want to do.

Challenging heart and mindset.
