Yesterday evening we had a farewell to the outgoing students in our Fellowship. It was a moment of gratitude towards our Dear Lord for us. All of us were given a chance to speak and everyone did spoke on our experiences being a part of the fellowship, and I was amazed to see that many though were Christians, had really come to a personal relationship with Jesus through this fellowship. Many shared on how God has transformed their lives in the past two years, and the many blessings bestowed to each. Never realized that many accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour through the two days retreat which we had last year, and how since then God has been guiding them and speaking to them. Till yesterday, never knew that the Holy Spirit was always at work in speaking to our fellow brothers and sisters of this fellowship. God made me marveled at His Greatness. Coming from a big church with so may youth members, good music, and attractive programmes, at times I used to find it here to be so dull, but what i didn't realise was the way God works in His own way and that I shouldn't look on the outward appearance but the heart. No matter what, the Tech EU has always help me to remain close to the Lord. Alone, on my own, I can do nothing and God Himself has told us to fellowship together in His name and I am glad that He has made me a part of Tech EU fellowship, to share a part in the family of God, and enjoy His blessings. Sometimes I wonder why do I have to be so weak, but then the Word of God tells me that only when i acknowledge ma weakness will I see God's strength working on me, at the same time He also reminds me the righteousness in me being a child of God.......Sitting in the third row was pondering on how God has been so gracious to me, blessing me one after the other thru out ma life. He is always true to His promises and yes He was to me all the time. And as i look back and see, I am amazed at the way He has changed me and brought me this far. Of course there were times, when I had to go through painful experiences but God always gave me the comfort and strength to move on. Living in today's world with all the glitters around to trap me, i find it difficult to resist the temptations of chasing after the riches of this world and being materialistic but the Lord always speaks to me at such times with His word, Mathew 6:33 - "But seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things shall be given unto you."
I wonder where would I have been without my Lord, and without the prayers and encouragement from ma brothers and sisters.
"My heart rejoices in the Lord, in the Lord my horn is lifted High, my mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in Your deliverance." 1 Sam 2:1
