02032014

Today actually I'm not serving as I'm very tired for such a previous busy day in my life. I wish I could rest and concentrate in worshipping and enjoyed in the presence of God. But unfortunately, Kerryn fb messaging me that she could not make it and asked help from me. I'm serving....
The pianist today was Shi Bei - one of the best pianist in my church as she was good in piano and she love it so much. She taught fang ying some special method that she found useful when playing worship songs and she share with us some of the technical skills as requested by Chester. 
After all, all of the pianist was stunt and some of them having the same feeling that I did about "can I quit?" Changes is good, improvement was needed and if quit, we just stay behind and couldn't move on. I'm in doubt and asking this question to God. 

God answer my question with a devotional message from Ps Joseph Prince as below. 

  God Can Use Those Whom The World Rejects  
 
1 Corinthians 1:26
26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

You may think that you are a nobody, maybe even a has-been or a loser in the eyes of the world. Take heart because God’s Word says that if you are not wise, not mighty or not noble according to the flesh, then you are a prime candidate for Him to call on! And when He begins to use you, you will see His favor, power and increase change your life.

In the eyes of the ancient world, Moses was the rising star of Egypt. The Bible tells us that in the first 40 years of his life, “Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds”. (Acts 7:22) But God could not use him then because he was too smart, strong and full of himself.

It was only 40 years later, after having been in the unglamorous desert of Midian, emptied of himself and thinking that he was a has-been, that God sent him to confound the might of Pharaoh.

The world may pass them by — the weak, the small, the forgotten and the losers, but God chooses them to confound those mighty in the world.

I know this to be true. As a little boy, I grew up facing rejection and ridicule because of my Indian-Chinese racial mix. And as a teenager, I was the butt of many jokes because of my stammering and stuttering.

When I was in my teens, I remember praying to God, “I don’t know what I can do for or give You, but You got me — spirit, soul and body.” I don’t know how many times I prayed that prayer. But I knew that God heard me because He called me. Only God would dare choose me, a stammerer and stutterer, to pastor a church for Him that has since grown to more than 30,000 members today.

I know what I was and where I came from. I know I have done nothing and can do nothing apart from His anointing and grace in my life.

My friend, when you think that you are weak and small compared to others in the world, that is when God can use you to do great and wonderful things for Him!

God can use me even I had nothing. Although I'm nobody, but God love me and mold me become somebody.  Praise Lord!!!
