The 1st weekend of 2010.
The whole of 2009 was an awesome year and I grew so much within a year. 2009 made me realise what a potential I had in God and the whole year I was working hard trying to acheive as much as possible. I really thank God for putting my in a church with such great Pastors who really love and believe in me, and also leaders who work really hard just to make sure I’m able to learn as much as possible.
Sometimes it’s really easy for someone to step into church and just enjoy the fruits of the labour of the people behind the scenes. I used to be one of them, until I explored my spiritual gifts and made a decision to use them to serve God. It was not until I joined the race together with the people who work behind the scenes that I realised how much time and effort they have to put in just so that each and every weekend service we have could be so awesome.
I joined the race with the rest in Operations in 2006, and I have never left my place since then. It pains me to see people taking and receiving from the service, but they’re never giving back. People always ask me why I spend so much time in church serving, and there was even a point where my parents actually believed that I should be paid for contributing my time and energy. These people have failed to understand my purpose in what I’m doing.
I’m a man of vision and dreams. You take that element away from me, I’m as good as an empty shell. Pastors have trained and discipled me to be a man who can navigate in the spiritual terrain. As I grow closer to God, I was amazed by how big my God is, I was amazed by how I can never out-think God. A FOH Engineer of a congregation of 1500, and my Pastors are already seeing in the spiritual realm of me being a FOH of a congregation of 3000, 5000, 10,000.
And on the first week of 2010, I’ve managed to achieve a great sound over the weekend services. Not by my human might, but by the Spirit of The Lord. Obstacles may come my way, but I still love my life. And I love the God who reigns over my life.
Psalm 40
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.”
9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
In the great assembly;
Indeed, I do not restrain my lips,
O LORD, You Yourself know.
10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.
11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD;
Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
Therefore my heart fails me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me;
O LORD, make haste to help me!
14 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who seek to destroy my life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.
15 Let them be confounded because of their shame,
Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“The LORD be magnified!”
17 But I am poor and needy;
Yet the LORD thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.
I consider it a delight, to do God’s will.
