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.

Prayers answered and Evangelising as an Evangelist
Prayers answered:
Yes Lord, I thank You for such peace You have given to me today, Lord! You are truly my Rock, Jesus Christ!
So, today, guess what? Exam on New Year's Eve. Fundamentals of Accounting. I have only done the past year papers for 3 days, last week and I barely could retain any possible NEW things I've learnt, since I was so busy with other 3 subjects. In the end, I had only 1 day for each subject to revise and yesterday (Friday) I was reading ITS, and today was FOA.
All in all, I told God, "I surrender my life to You," and it was not answered. But I had faith in Him, of course. I slept at around 2am and I woke up at 10am, since my exam was on 2pm, dreaming of beautiful heavenly encounters too! So, the sleep was very comfortable and it seemed long.
When I woke up, I did what I was supposed to do by revising all of my Accounting workings and theories, expecting theories to come out like my previous semester's Introduction to Accounting (but I was disappointed after that when there were no theories were tested. But anyhow, I was satisfied!) all done in 1 hour 35 minutes. Then, I read the Bible. I somehow found peace in me and I did not get nervous.
Then, on my last 15 minutes, (as I was planning to leave hostel and off to my exam venue) I said, "God, I surrender my 15 minutes to You, God. Let Your will be done, God. Thank You, Jesus." I immediately got drunk with the Holy Spirit. I suddenly lost sense of exam stress and I went for exam on that condition. Feeling drunk with the Holy Spirit, until I stepped into the exam venue, my soul and spirit were sharpened. I already knew that God's hands were with me. I then continued singing grace to the Lord in my heart, for whatever calculation I was doing and thanking Him for every mistakes I found myself doing. As it ended, I just noticed that it was pure fun in the exam venue. I had no sense of excitement for the paper, or even sense of nervousness when I couldn't reconcile my answers. I was only focusing my mind on God. He was truly with me throughout the duration. I then came back to my hostel, smiling broadly, broader than ever. Honestly, I have never had such euphoria for exam before, ever in my life. Amen!
Evangelising as an Evangelist
Yesterday, during my church's House of Prayer for All Nations, (it is basically soaking session for our minds to be renewed and for us all to pray for the nation and share our visions that God has given us) I unexpectedly received my five-fold ministry calling - to be an evangelist. And yesterday, after dinner, my section overseer was talking a lot and teaching me a lot on how to be an evangelist, while not forsaking the other 4 aspects (i.e.: pastoral, apostolic, teaching and prophetic).
Today, after exam, I had a chance to evangelise to my friend, who was having his right hand sprained. I ministered healing under God's name yesterday and again today, and he said that it was 50% healed. I started evangelising to him, making him understand the underlying concept of Christianity - where we usually claim that Christianity is a relationship with God, and not a religion.
I spent about an hour before dining with him, talking about Christianity. Although he didn't acknowledge, at least he realized that I could perform healing under Lord Jesus' name and he couldn't. At least, now he knows a lot more of Christianity. Yes, in the end, he didn't get completely healed (it was very obvious that the Holy Spirit was reluctant already), at least, at least... He tasted a little bit of it. I'm glad that I managed to stir him, deep down in his heart. May God bless him. Amen.

Intercession
Intercession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercession
Intercession is the act of interceding (intervening or mediating) between two parties. In Christian religious usage, it is a prayer to God on behalf of others. |
| Public intercession done yesterday |
 |
| Another public intercession done just 2 minutes ago |
In short, I pray that everyone will be blessed with my intercessions. Thank you, Lord.
Kyrie eleison; Supplicanti parce, Deus.
