obey is better than sacrifice

Oh Man! How could i forgotten to blog about pledging weekend last week!! Haha! Yeap! I think this year, it was another year of breakthrough man! I got the amount 1 week before the pledging week, I was seriously not super excited, cos it was not a small amount. But surely, it was something that stretches my faith! Jus few days back, my sister was jus sharing with me that we should pledge something that is we need to pledge something that is realistic. So that sentence was stuck in my mind for a week. Till sat night. While i was preparing, i thought maybe i should drop the amount a little. When i can fulfil then i give more. So when i was about to write, God spoke. Sighhh. Sometimes, you wonder if its good or bad. ahaha!

God was like why is your faith so small?! I was like... HUH!?!? Small?! God you must be kidding man! And i told God, BUT the amount was too big! I dont think i can. Then God challenge me, if last year He could make miracles happened, what is this year. I was like... Alright. God, you come and spoke to me at 3am in the morning, what more can i not say but to trust and believe in You. So i wrote that AMOUNT. Its was this BIG when i saw that amount. Nearly fainted though! hahaha

When i gave, on stage, i nearly cried man!! That was really a sacrificial amount! And Thank God i was obedient! And the Holy Spirit reminded me a verse:

1 Samuel 15:22
So Samuel said: "Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.
