NOT SPECTATORS BUT PARTICIPANTS

In our cell group we have been taught about what Celebration Sunday is all about. This week we learned that Celebration Sunday is a time to lift up His name to exalt Him because we want Him to manifest among us. This also means it's a time where He comes fully in charge of it.

We may not be assigned with any role in the cell group but we are still a player and we must be involve by being sensitive/aware of how the holy spirit is leading, what is being stressed during sharing, responding aloud by saying “amen”, pushing in deeper into worship to help make the atmosphere more intense so that things of heaven would be seen here on this earth BECAUSE WE ARE PLAYERS IN THE SAME TEAM!.

This statement - "We come not to be spectator but participators" I realized that there are times where its tough to feel lively when we are actually feeling dry, but no matter how tough it is, we can rise above our emotion as long as we put our feet into His living river, the little water that wet our feet can cleanse us. The more we enter into this river of His, we would be cleansed, refreshed and renewed.

Every Friday, I can sense in my spirit that God is always there to remind us of His river of living water is flowing everytime we are gathered together. What we need to do is just to let go of ourselves, YIELD ourselves unto Him, and let Him cleanse and reform us.

Last Friday, I felt such intimate relationship with God, that I can feel Him so close to us and loving us. We weren't praying and worshiping like we usually do but yet His presence just overwhelm us because He is charge now of the meeting. It's at this moment that very His awesome presence moved me to tears.

His very awesome presence stirred me to draw closer and closer to Him. I am determined to be a participant who functions and contributes! We are the new generation who are victorious in Him! We are the New Generation Arise!
