1Day1God!

hey ppl... as some of you know, yesterday was 1day1God in my chuch.. june you miss 2 1day's this year.. to those who doesnt know what was it about, it was about a day, which was saturday where all of us, gathered together in church and worship God... 1pm til 1am... hehehe.. and it was amazing...

it started when shawn leaded the worship, and then they showed us this clip from oprah.. (ok aunty, dont get too excited.. ) it was an interview by oprah on michael jackson during his "ups" time... the clips showed ppl, screening, crying, fainting, cheering, whatever (i;m sure you guys seen these stuff on tv b4) at his concerts, or whenever the fans see him.. these ppl were "worshiping" michael like no tomorrow.. then pastor told us that the act of worshiping was born in us, and it is a natural act.. it doesnt take a believer, so to say to "know" how to worship.. the clip on michael speaks it all... but then again, she says, why ppl can "worship" this human, weirdo guy, but no God.. why ppl nowadays dont have the passion for God, but instead, the passion and the love for- a human?... when i heard these words, it really strucked me.... cause we can see ppl nowadays, give so much praises to singers, celebs, whoever or whatever, but not as passionate for God, our creator who His love is unfailing, everlasting and our sole pillar of salvation??? i was thinking, is this human whoever it is that you scream and cry out to, will provide you with your needs, listens to you whenever you need someone to talk to.. or to rely on for whatever prayers you pray for.... who else, but God who can provide us with all.. His covenant speaks it all.. His faithfulness is proven over and over again to each on everyone of us.. whether we realise it or not.. this really got me for that moment...

after that, we continue to worship again, and during worshiping, my mind just went thru flashbacks of everything since early this year again... seeing the visions of everything over again, and how much God is provided and is faithful to me... i just couldnt hold it and tears started coming out.. the fact, i noticed that as the system course goes by, the amount of time i committed for my studies is getting lesson, but God once again, proven that He will provide so long as our heart stays with Him... recently for haemato... i've been caught up at times with cell, discipleship, Christian fellowship... sometimes, spent time with the cheerleaders... and at times, with ppl that need to talk, campus friends and the worst.. with one tree hill.. i tot i was not prepared for haemato... cause on wed, when my lecturer where doing the case discussion with us, it just reinforced my discouragement after a lousy morning with the recruitment drive.. so i just left home.. and as i was driving, i remembered what shawn preached the previous service, about discouragement.. so got back, read the Word.. and then start all over again with haemato.. after fri's paper, when i saw the feedback, really thank God of His blessings... there is so much i do not deserve, but yet He gives generously... that moment in church, was my greatest encounter with God... and i was like, gosh... i gotta need inhibitors for my lacrimal ducts.. (woman, any to recommend)..

after worship around 4.30pm, it was "God Factor" time.. we were divided into groups, and each group was given a name of God to talk about, to discuss and present it later in church.. we were to go sunway pyramid and have dinner and talk about it.. i was given the honor to lead one group.. and we got Jehovah Tsidkenu.. which means God of Righteousness... discussion went well, seeing others sharing their opinions on how righteous is God.. and how we can obtain his righteousness..

back in church, after all the performances and presentations, worship continues, between that, we have whoever who suddenly wanna share something about God came up and shared, and we prayed.. and worship.. and pray for others that we dont know in church.. and worship.. and pray for the campuses.. this all lasted til 1am.. and in the end of the day, we were all so passionate for God and so eager to just give our praises to Him, more and more.. and i got to meet with some ppl, who are non-christians.. one of them said, "this is amazing.. i nvr been to a church where i can have fun and learn about God at the same time"... in a way, i was pleased cause he is encountering God's words but yah.. its not all about fun.. :-) but i guess, that can wait for his part...

it was just 1day for Him.. whereby we do nothing but just to spend time with Him.. and i would say it has to be the greatest day i've had in my life.. thank God for that.. and thank Him for everything... being a believer made me realise something... i dont have to understand what His plans are, or reasons for His actions... but just simply obey and commit everything to Him.. trust that He will take charge of everything..

so yah.. i guess this is it... take care guys...
