Long time have not been blogging.
Recently, I've been doing a lot of soul searching while taking care of Jayden before I start my new job in citibank. I've been with Prudential NGO for 3.5 yrs now under the leadership of Nicholas Goh. He has been a good and generous boss to all of us. I remembered it was quite difficult during the 1st year where I had to stand long hours getting clients in roadshows. But skills start to pick up and I began to know how to go about doing the business through more effective means. Well, I decide to move on after much consideration for career advancement and personal development. NGO has a good christian enviroment and it's also a place where I think much of me has been developed mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Anyway, I have been impacted by what was preached during sunday service at jurong west. Pastor talked about this pastor Alex Abraham in Surubaya who has a humble begining as a taxi driver!! That was very encouraging, do not despise the days of small beginnings. He went sharing Pastor Alex testimony of how he knocked down a boy who was bleeding from nose, ears mouth and he ran to a church. He prayed to the "Unknown God" of the church that if God would spare the life of the boy and his life, he would serve Him the rest of his life. Pastor Alex was arrested the next day and the police brought him to the hospital to see the "dead" boy. To all their surprise, the boy who sat on the hospital bed was normal and alive. Pastor Alex was then released and he started preaching the gospel since then and did many great and mighty things in Indonesia. He now has 130,000 members in all his affliated churches added together.
Pastor Kong then continue preaching about 4 simple points.
Self image: How we see ourselves
Self Worth: How we value ourselves
Self Esteem: How we feel ourselves
Self- Respect: How we honour about ourselves/ dignity
I was totally convicted by the message. A lot of conclusions and decisions made are based on how we feel. It's important to feel good about ourselves. Well, I decide the way to get myself feel good about myself is to based it on the Word of God. I began to start confessing and declaring to myself in the mirror " Linying, God is going to prosper you, you will have MORE than enough. You will have so much that you got to give them away! You can't stop the blessings of God in life!! Your team is going to GROW!!! If God is for me, who can be against me? You are going to have a BLESSED family! God loves you and you are the APPLE of God's eye~!!
Amen!!!
