I am back to school today. I am really happy and excited knowing that there is a group of heart-warming people there to welcome me, guiding me to the way of life than my own strength to my NEVER-ending problems. I simply love each and everyone of them in my SOT team. Thank you so much for all your prayers, care and concern, and certainly all your fasting. Let us do all these together; my prayers will always be that all of us will rise up for a time like these. -A family that prays together sticks together- AMEN!
I managed to share a little bit of my own problems with some of my teammates and as I was showing, the greatest revelation God showed me was how Jesus was tempted when He was in the wilderness. Jesus was tempted 3 times; He entered the wilderness with the glory of God, and He left the wilderness with the ability to release the anointing of the glory of God.
I was tempted to give up when I faced my own problems before SOT, but I held firm as God carried me through those times. He had indeed lifted me up from my pitfall to firm ground, with His grace, I fought on. The start of SOT was indeed challenging for me, having to cope with school work and also family matters. The death of my beloved Uncle, I would once again stress it, IT WAS PAINFUL AND A LITTLE UNBEARABLE FOR ME. I was lost but I held on again to the love of God. Now, it came to the closest one in my entire life, my mother. I know this will be yet the toughest and biggest challenge SATAN can set in my life, and I am/will be praying, and fasting like never before. 3 challenges and it's also the 3 temptations that SATAN wants me to give up, but little have he behold himself of my faith in God.
I WANT SATAN TO READ THIS!!
SATAN, I WON'T GIVE UP, I WILL FIGHT ON WITH THE GRACE AND POWER FROM HIGH ABOVE!
*TELL ME SATAN IS NOT HAPPY.* But what to do, I will still press unto the call from God and I know my call and destiny is BIG, HUGE and GOOD, else why would SATAN wants to see me fall so badly? I guess the harder he tries, the tougher it is for him to get a slightest hold of me. I have my firm foundation.
As I attended lesson 11 of Home Cell Group Leadership (HCGL), God revealed so much of what I should do. It is indeed so true, that there is a price to pay as a leader, how much am I willing to pay, determines a lot of where I placed myself in the leadership chart. I have no idea where my destiny is, but certainly I am assured that my destiny is high in Christ.
(There were times when I want to give up so badly, but somehow, something in me just allow me to push through by trusting God and believing God. My mind deceives me, but my spirit holds me. Not just will I say and believe, but my life will show that I trust God.)
love,
