What is in the centre?

Heys!! sorry that i didn't write anything for a long time..cause things are getting real busy...
Anws, today i want to talk about what gladys taught us on fri's cell!!

Oh! wait, i wanna share with you all a thought that i had when i was doing my qt in the morning..
It was the thought on whether i will still stand firm and believe in Jesus Christ despite our friends and family around us being non-christians?
What if you are the only christian in the world?
What if there are no church friends nor church to back you up or to cheer you on?
Are you still going to believe that Jesus Christ exist?
Do you go to church because you want to meet up with friends?
Do you go to church because it is a duty that like you are a christian and you have to go?
Do you go to church or even becoming a christian because of peer pressure?
These are the things that we have to keep on reminding ourselves about..
It is not about the friends, duty or any other things that you go to church for...
The one and only thing i know is that you go to church for God...
You may think that it is something easy to achieve..
But many of the times our motivation to go to church is not God but other things...

Gladys shared something on fri..
She say that every sun we go church and sing worship songs and stuff...
Are we worshipping worship? Or are we worshipping God?
You may think that you are worshipping God but actually you are not...
very confusing right? hahaa
So, you must constantly remind yourself and ask God to reveal it to you..
Oh! and you shouldn't ask God to let you feel him..
Cause we cannot depend on our feelings, like how we feel to determine that God is there and God is real..
Our faith is planted and placed on the truth of God's word...not based on feelings..
There was once Grace told the cell that even though we may not feel God during worship, we still worship. Because He is worthy of it and He is still there...

Oh! back to the point!
The cell lesson was on placing God in the centre of your lives..
There was one point that i learnt was the colossians chap 23 to 24 "Work willingly in whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ."
this verse struck me alot..
why?
Because i started to think about so many christians, including me, serving in ministry, a leader in church..
Alot of times i start to wonder...am i doing this because i have to? am i doing these because of the pastors or my cell members or to account to the people in church or am i seriously doing these for God?
Am i placing God in the centre of everything that i do...whether it is in studies, ministry or family?
We can do lots and lots of things in church, school or in the family...but who are we ultimately serving? God? or human beings?
Alex shared something..he said that his friend told him..." as long as you put God first and in the centre of your life, the other things around you will fall into place."
How about you?
What is in the centre in your life? it is up to you to decide...
Think about it...

God bless you!!

Well, from my experience i know that God puts us incharge of certain tasks for a reason. And im certain ur he put u in the worship ministry to prosper. So dont worry too much abt the who and the how. If you know ur doing it for God, he will fine tune u eventually to be the best at ur task. =)
