The Power of Partnership (19/11/06)

2 Cor. 2:12,13
Now when I (Paul) went to troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found tha the Lod had opened a door for me, I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodby to them and went on to Macedonia.

This Scripture was the main focus of Ps. Alshley's preaching this morning. The words, opened door, caught my attention. It brought me back to the vision of opened door with bright light, which I saw during the Elevation Camp. This opened door was well-explained by Ps. Ashley, which signifies opened doors of opportunities. In addition to this, he also explained that we need to establish partnership in order to reap the maximum harvest when these doors of opportunities opened.
I guess I also need to find and establish a partnership with a brother in Christ, so that we can encourage each other in our walk of faith I also believe this is a call from God to urge me to establish a partnership links for the future harvest.

Have you found your partner?

Press On! (10/11/06)

I felt panic last night when I thought about how little time I have left to do my revision before my exam on the 11th Nov. I still have to finish a few more sets of notes. Somehow I knew that I cannot accomplish much even with worrying and panicking. Therefore I tried to cool down and I cried out for help to God and for His peace to reign within my heart. Philipians 4:5-7 appeared obvious to my eyes again, as I sat pondering at my desk.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

As I woke up this morning, I was so surprised to see the title of the devotion today – Press On! The passage was on Philipiuans 3:13 and the following were the words spoken to me from the text;

“Christians live in freedom because Christ has overcome our past. The ‘old things’ have been done away with and ‘new things’ have come (2 Cor. 5:7). Christians do not forget the past, but we are not controlled or motivated by it. The Christians look to the future with hope… The Christians’ future is so full and rich and exciting that it supersedes whatever happened in the past …
If you are preoccupied with your past, ask God to open your eyes to the incredible future that awaits you and begin … to press on to what is ahead.”

These texts reminded me to put down the fear of the past failure behind and to press on in my current position. I felt God’s peace within my heart and He enabled me to finish reading the notes before midnight. I also felt God’s assurance that He would lead me through it all.
PTL! Hallelujah!

Are you in destress?

Look to God for comfort and peace and He will transcends all understanding

to guard us!
