A Passion for God's Glory

The Passion conference last night was awesome.

During Louie's message, I told God that if you want me to continue working or quit working, please let me know.It was a burden in my heart all this while to either let it go an spend most of my time in ministry or continue working. There is also much confusion on what the will of the Lord is. Therefore, I made a prayer to the Lord.At the end of the message, after Louie gave a short but meaningful testimony by a girl named Ashley, suddenly, I started crying non-stop. It was about Ashley who had a wild party life and how God changed her life completely but 3 months into following Christ, she got involved in an accident and went home to be with the Lord..

Although it was a simple testimony, but it gave me a huge impact. I realised that life is short. I cried on-stop throughout the 2 songs that Chris Tomlin sang. Mighty to Save and Amazing Grace. I sang and then cried, then prayed, then cried, then sang again, then cried again, then kneel down on my knees, then cried and then sang again. Something inside me just can't wait to get out and at that moment while singing mighty to save, God wants me to shine His light out and let the whole world see.

During these 2 months, God has been placing burdens in my heart in different part of ministry. First was to start a Bible study group. Next, to help Christians in Malaysia to grow in their knowledge of the Bible. This statement kept sticking in my mind. "The Preciousness of the Promises of God to His Glory". I would like to do a study on that. to help Christians understand that the promises of God is so precious that it can turn the world upside down. The third thing is to visit and help the youth i met in a youth camp 3 years ago at Sungai Petani, Kedah, the northern state of Malaysia, they have always been in my heart and i felt the burden to care and guide them. Fourth would be doing Kitchen's Fellowship. It ahs been a blessing to many people and i hope to spend more time in blessing others with good food. Haha. Next, to stay committed in the student center and help Blane with the work here. Last but not least, to help out in the music club. It is a great ministry aimed at reaching out to the youths through music. I see a need to guide and lead some of them there.

Well, i know that there is a lot here but please remember me in your prayers that God will lead and guide me through step by step. But first, i would have to quit my job first. I hope that my family won't object as it would be a tough decision to make especially when my family is not doing well financially too. I can only place my faith the the sovereignty of God. Pray that i would always be aware God's guidance in my life.

Thanks.Your brother in Christ, Matthew.
