Our church held a fantastic training called Training Effective Apostolic Minister (T.E.A.M). Of course, I participated in this training.
All of us need to write something that we’ve learned that touched us. At first my mind was blank and I didn’t really care about it so I asked Sis. Kim Suan, : “What should I write?”. She told me: “There must be something that had touched you, isn’t it?” . Well, it does make sense so I decided to flip through my notes when I’m home.
I remembered that both my leaders (Sis. Kim Suan and Sis.Laffy) have told us a lot of times that when you read through your notes again and again, God will release new things to you so that’s what I did.
What touched my heart greatly was on the topic of “The Distinctive Marks of Breakthrough Believers”. This has actually been taught in Sunday School. There are four points on it and the point I want to share is
Breakthrough Believers are able to move under intense pressure (2nd point). This is when I realized that I can breakthrough my fears, I’ve pioneered before and what is lack of me being a breakthrough believer is that I can’t control myself when I have pressure or problems. Though maybe there will still be some other features that I do not have but I’m sure I’ll be able to find it out.
I recalled my memory and notice that whenever I’ve pressure on my studies, or pressure from my friends…etc, I never succeed on handling it properly by my own, mostly, I would ask my leaders to help. Like last week, my teacher was so worried that we would not get good results for next year’s UPSR that she kept repeating, “You all must get ready for nest year’s major exam!” That I felt so tired of it. At the year end, I’m always used to doing my own things and not studying but now, all my teachers kept pushing us and giving us homework and telling us to study. I kept complaining and felt fed up. But after learning from T.E.A.M, I’m sure I’m able to control myself and move under intense pressure!
Praise God for releasing new things to me again!
