Loving Others
Matthew 5:43-48
New International Version (NIV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.This is what I've learnt from my spiritual leader tonight. God just moved me so much to just speak to him about the way I worship in prayer group. It somehow just dawn on me the realisation that it was important that I speak to him, rather than to pretend everything is just normal. The one thing about me is, the way I worship is generally more "outward" and louder than others (being built in such mould in my church), but most of them in the hostel prayer group prefer the kind of absolute silence to be in tune with God (I've noticed that I was the only one worshipping my lungs out when they were all so silent)
However, my leader taught me that if what I do (i.e.: speaking through the Spirit or singing grace) would just make the corporate lose focus, I'd rather not do it, although that is my norm. Why? Because, we simply gather up for the same purpose. He taught me to be wise and humble in all my doings. So, I choose to lay down my norm, in order for everyone of us to benefit from the gathering, rather than a win-lose situation. "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Lord, I uphold Thy words in my life and I surrender my life in Thy gracious hands. Make me teachable, Lord. In Jesus' name I ask, amen.
Kyrie eleison; Supplicanti parce, Deus.

"Always Remain Teachable and Humble!"
That was what I've heard someone in my half-dream, Mr. Samson, a miner said before we finished our conversation.
Earlier on, another person, Mr. Samuel, a guard for some London underground train, taught me this, "Do not release your visions, until you have received confirmation and answers from God. Keep praying for it, so that God shows an answer to you."
I may just say that these encounters are merely my imaginations but I would rather believe that this is indeed a spiritual intercession, or a spiritual connection with the Lord. Funny enough, I have always reminded myself to be humble and remain teachable, to grow even more, and faster than anything else but I somehow wonder, why does this line comes in again, exactly the next night when I knew of my five-fold ministry calling. True enough, today, I shared my testimony regarding my previous post to my church members during dinner and I did really learn so much that I don't know where should I start writing!
Today, after our second praise celebration, I asked David on how to start reaching out. He then taught me on a lot of things. There were many of the things he said, I did already know, but there was one thing that he said, really hit me, bullseye! He said, "Preach with love, let go of your ego. Remain teachable and humble. Remember this." David also told me one thing, which felt like a slap on my face. He told me that my say on "The Holy Spirit was feeling reluctant" was wrong and it was my own heart and my own patience that didn't push on for the complete healing to take place. "The Holy Spirit, wanted to test your patience," this was what David told me.
These are really the punch lines for the day. Indeed, God used these two "imaginery" people in my dream to teach me on certain things that my life needs to let go, needs to be repaired. Otherwise, I shall never grow. Then, Daniel started teaching already. He was telling me about our human mindset. The worldly mindset of "being influenced subconsciously". He said, there are some people do what others do, just because they don't want to be left out, whether worshipping in the worship team, or evangelising, because this is truly, not the right intention at all!
I believe he was speaking to me, indirectly, because there was once I asked him about joining the worship team, but he didn't answer. But God did tell me during that silence that he will answer my question someday. He only told me to wait. Although I didn't quite feel it that way, but perhaps, I believe in his (Daniel's) discernment of spirit which guided him in making his choices. Daniel's discernment is not by himself - it is from the Lord, and who am I to deny? Amen.
I thank God for today's dinner, which had become my punch lines for the night:
1. Influence and not be influenced.
2. For evangelists, icebreaking sessions are very vital.
3. Drop the ego. ALL of it, to serve the Lord, my God.
4. Do not argue during evangelism. It will tick people off and I will miss the chance of saving souls.
