Be the light!

Today, i just want to tell you all about what i heard from the sermon like in youth service at g2!!!
So cool right? First time i went for both youth and young adult service on sat at g2!! i feel really replenished with God's word to last me for this week! God is great! and he helped me to realise somethings!!
Anws, the youth had a speaker from the chinese ministry....but He is like bilingual....so, there nobody had any difficulty in understanding him^^

He gave us this analogy...
He told us to imagine 3 pots of boiling water...
He placed a carrot in the first pot,
an egg in the second pot and
coffee beans in the third pot.
The hard carrot will become soft after boiling,
The egg will harden and
The coffee beans will dissolve and change the colour of the surrounding water...

What does all these mean?
It means that all three things go through the same obstacles and circumstances of the boiling water...just like how we go through problems and situations in life...
It is our choice as to what we want to be..
We can be like the hard carrot, after we go through it, we become soft and weak..
Or like the egg, after we go through it, be tougher and harder...
Or we can choose to be like the coffee beans, after going through it, we will use it to impact others, to affect the people around us and help them to grow...eg. your own personal testimony...

We only got one chance in the primary school education,
one chance in the secondary school,
one chance in jc.
How are we going to use this chance for God?

During the YA service, one of the things that the pastor said that impacted me was that,
There was this boy, he handed up an assignment...
The teacher looked at it and marked...
Content-good
language-good
flow-good
structure-good
overall-good
grade-F
The reason for his grade to be an F is : You handed up the wrong assignment.
It is the same as us christians...
We always do alot of things for God, trying real hard to serve him in many ways in church, in school..etc..
But, are all the things that we want to do part of God's purpose for us?
Everyone has a purpose on this earth...and the purpose can only be known and understand from our creator...
Only the creator of us knows what we are made for..
So, are we on the right assignment?
Are we doing what is God's will for us?
We can be happier and get all the things that we want and enjoy just like all the good things said from the analogy, however, we may be in the wrong assignment...and doing that will not bring us success (may not be material but spiritual needs), doing that will not help us to find the true purpose of our life.

The sermon for today's youth service talks about being a light and salt of the earth!
The end times are nearing...are we ready?
We must be reading everytime for God's coming...
The pastor said that the reason why God hasn't come down until now is because He is a fair and just God! He wants everyone to get an opportunity to hear the gospel like all over the world!
He wants to give everyone a chance to come back to His kingdom!
The Bible says that once everyone gets to hear the gospel, He will then come down...
Are we feeling the urgency yet?
Friends, family members and so many so many people who matters so much to you who are still unsaved or haven't even hear God's word....share, interceed, before it is too late in God's time...

Are you willing to find your purpose, step out of your comfort zone and be a light to shine for God, impacting the many lives around you just like the coffee bean?
It is your choice...

God loves you!!
