remembered something i extracted from dext's blog last year!


Pastor Lia said something inspiring to the VBS worship team:
"You will never feel rested. This is how it is going to feel like 9 out of 10 times you go out there."

this is not only true on worship team, but on any other ministry or even our own spiritual lives. there is no rest in pursuing Jesus. in fact, Jesus did not promise us an easy happy-go-lucky lifestyle, but a life of continual submission, surrender, and discipleship.

i've learnt that the anointing of God doesn't just come with a mere praying-up. anointing comes with a holy lifestyle, a humble-and-completely-submissive heart to God, as well as utmost focus on seeking His presence at all times. In fact, this is just the start of my discovery about God's presence and anointing. I am sure there is so much more God is revealing to me slowly. Yes, time with God brings in anointing, but God has always shown me that my life, and my heart determines how much God will use me to convey His presence to the people.

this is scary because my life, my heart and my mind is so volatile and yet the responsibility to handle God's presence and anointing is all on my shoulders. indeed, without a fear of the Lord, life in worship team will be a struggle. and there is never enough fear of the Lord in us, always. i still seek to fear God more. i need to be afraid of living an unholy lifestyle. i'm not fearful enough.



No rest in pursuing Jesus..we serve Him with all our lives and always need more of Him day by day..but you know what? i think it's worth it..to sacrifice our whole lives, plans and dreams for Him!



Now im playing for CG..and all i have to say is that God is worth serving a whole lifetime for :D

I may be tired, i may run out of strength, i may bleed in many areas of life..

But God is still worthy to serve no matter what..king of our lives, lord of all!



I'm glad to have a priveledge to serve God in Worship! (:
