Worship = EncounterS

Yesterday I went for the worship night with Sun at Jurong! I thank God i went. Though i was held up at work and the thought of not going was tempting.

Nevertheless, i went.

We started with worship by Alison followed by Praise by Bro. Poh.

When Sun came and took over, the Presence of God was so strong that i started to weep. And it seems like i have lost this feeling for so long. And i was so comforted in the Presence of God.

And in the mist of worship, i believe when we worship, we ought to have encounters. And indeed, God did not fail me, i really had an encounter.

God reminded me that this whole time, i tried so hard to love Him yet i forgotten that we need to let Him love us back. I was there like Martha, working hard, serving Him. But i totally did not realize that God was there trying to love me, yet i could do was to work and serve and work and serve.

And when Pastor shared on the verse

1Jn 4:19
We love because He first loved us.

 Yes! That was it! And i finally allowed God to move! And bam! The Presence was just overflowing on the inside of me. My spiritual love tank was filled all over again.

And right after Pst shared the word, God gave another word.

This whole time, i wanting to have a breakthough. And i tried so hard, working my breakthough out. And it just doesnt seems to happen. With good attitude and holding to the belief that Delay is not Denial.

But never did i thought, i was leaning on my own strength so much, God didnt had chance to do the work He ought to, and the Holy Spirit is a gentleman, He doesnt force, hence, leaving me all alone fighting till i feel so tired.

And God revealed to me, He is the one who will deliver me and give my breakthrough. And i ought to trust in Him.
It seems like a wake up call! And i was blown away, God then reminded me the ABCs of Christian life.

Ask
Believe
Confess

I was lost for words, but the good thing about God is after chiding you, He will always pour so much more love into us. And yes, after that, i felt so much closer to God!

I am really thankful i turn up for the meeting and had that Encounter with God!
