Thought of the day

Hey guys!
Hope school is treating you well... :) To all those that are trying hard to make cow sense of the first few weeks of lecture.... well... ask the mother cow... or water buffalo! (Erm... RAndom!)
Anyways, something that was shared on sunday afternoon whilst I was in leaders meeting and you guys were either eating MORE food in Boxhill or having those wonderful afternoon naps (Gee.... I miss those) was this
For those who have joined a church, you would sometimes feel the need to be part of a ministry in order to grow, or you feel the overarching need to DO SOMETHING for God so that you feel useful or maybe even repaying God the debt of Him saving you.
Firstly, what was shared in sunday morning should be something we all remember. God saved us, to set us FREE!! Yes! The story of the slave girl was really impactful, and I feel its something we all have to come to realise. However, it was the reaction of the slave girl that touched my heart. And that is, because you have set me free, I will WANT to work for Him the rest of my life. When we serve God, let us not look to the left or to the right, but focus solely on Him and our gratitude to Him.
Secondly, in afternoon meeting, Ps TT Quah shared of how ministry should not be my life, in a sense where we get busy doing things for God, running CCM counter or serving in Life group.
Rather, my life is my ministry to the people around me! In this, it is more than just skill development of yourselves, to worship better, or to play guitar better. Even more so, it is the development of Christlikeness in our actions thoughts and deeds, the development of our character.
If we have Jesus in our hearts, all of our resultant action will be a NATURAL reaction of wanting to imitate the likeness of Christ. We will not think twice of giving of our time, effort or energy, or even money. It becomes our 2nd nature to seek first the Kingdom of God!
So guys, let me encourage you to put Jesus first in all things that you do. You are FREE to do anything, but IF you were to let God shape your character and transform your life, I can confirm plus chop that it will be a lifelong journey of exciting encounters that only God can bring you on!
