In the year 2009 April 29 (which you could refer back to the page in this blog), I did mention about the prophecies that I received from Ps. Chung (ANS, Muar), which is about receiving His new strength, spirit and wisdom in order to study my course which is counseling. Now I could see day by day, God releasing His strength, spirit and wisdom unto my life.
Last Wednesday (24/3/10), we were required to do a presentation based on our research. I make all the necessary preparation to ensure that I was well prepared for my presentation. Just before my presentation, I told God of my desire in wanting to do this presentation as according to His word which is not by my might, not by power but by His very spirit.
Immediately after my presentation, my lecturer gave her comments regarding every student’s presentation. To my surprise, in a class of 23 students, she singled me out and asked everyone in the class to comment about my presentation. A few of my course mates was in agreement that I did well in my presentation to which my lecturer agreed.
My lecturer explained that my presentation was well and in accordance with what she wanted. She went on further to mention that she noticed that I express such eagerness in presenting our group’s research and was impressed that I had such confidence in carrying myself well in front of the class during my presentation.
Later on, my lecturer have me share my experiences as to how I prepare myself for the presentation in ensuring that our research was presented verbally in a clear and understanding manner. I was so thrilled that I told myself that this is the moment for me to glorified God. I begin to share with my class that it was the training that I received in the church. I told them that our church believes that we are leaders therefore we taught and trained on how to prepare our sharing notes to ensure there is clarity and the opportunities to speak or preach in front of our church members.
Upon hearing this, my lecturer added that since I’m the class rep therefore I would have even more opportunities now to practice speaking in front of the class. I was glad that despite all the praises that my lecturer showered upon me, I was firm and proud in revealing that I’m able to do all this is because of God and all the glory and honor belongs to Him alone.
Just like what we have been taught in our church that sons are trained and raised in the house (church). In the house (church) we are not trained not just in spiritual matter but other aspect as well such as how to present our work, handle our finances, handle our emotions, having honorable relationship and so on as according to His living word.
It is written in 1 Peter 4:11, ” If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.”
For I am His son therefore I will speak as one who is speaking the very word of God, and as I do, I will do it with the strength God provides, so that and in everything, God is the one who receive the glory and honor! Amen!
May I encourage you that as sons of God let us continue to give glory unto Him in all that we do as it is written, “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17
