It is so much a pleasure to study Home Cell Group Leadership. Indeed, no one is born a leader. We may have the gifts to be a leader, but unless and until you untapped those potential within, it will be hidden.
Today in SOT, I learnt about Cell Group Leader; the qualifications of being one. Everything in life rises and falls on LEADERSHIP. How true this sentence holds for itself. It makes me ponder a little while but certainly is a good way to start the topic.
Above all the qualifications that one should have to be a Cell Group Leader, the one that caught my heart most is ATTITUDE. How one should have good attitude. It in our attitudes that reflects how our lives is Today. Attitude is more important than aptitudes and our attitude determines our altitude. No one can rule over your attitude for your attitude is the REAL you. Within the main topic about attitudes, there are sub-4 attitudes that one should have; Humility, Positive Attitude, Enthusiasm and Willingness.
"Two men look out through the same bars; one sees the mud and one the stars."
Pastor Aries shared about his life story and how he actually want to give up along the way before he is where he is today. HE ACTUALLY WANTED TO GIVE UP, especially those moments when he felt so unfair and was angry with God. Not until when God spoke to him, "Aries, what if this is My will for you, are you going to complain? What if this is My will for you, are you going to blame every any people including Me?" His attitude was change that very split second knowing it is not the situation that's pulling him down but his own attitude. Holy Spirit reminded him that even if he is to be the door-keeper in the house of God, he should rejoice and praise God.
I cried when we sang this song at the end of the lesson. A pure heart!
A pure heart, that's what I long for
A heart that follows hard after Thee
A pure heart, that's what I long for
A heart that follows hard after Thee
A heart that hides Your Word
So that sin will not come in
A heart that's undivided
But one You rule and reign
A heart that beats compassion
That pleases You, my Lord
A sweet aroma of worship
That rises to Your throne
I had a chat with someone and I thank him for hearing so much of what I want to say. It was about 2.5hours of conversation but I felt so lifted up when he said and he tried to answer some of my really foolish questions. I really appreciate him and his time, certainly how he opened my eyes to what God may have spoken to me and I am still lost. Thank you for telling me once again that Cell Group Ministry is just the ministry for me this season of my life. I will indeed run this race no matter how tough it is going to be. My first task is to do well the administrative work of every memebers in the Cell Group. Praise the Lord yeah! -hahaha- Even if I am a door keeper in the house of the Lord, I will be HAPPY.
Loving God,
