Reading the posts dated: March 2 – When God visited my Room and January 6 – Chette.. the Worshipper of God… made me realize that on those dates… God has been “readying me” to take the big step.
What’s the big step you ask?
For the past month, God promoted me into a bigger position in His Church here in JIL Angeles. I’m heading up the VIA/JAM now in JIL Angeles uh.. not only Angeles but the whole Area19a (composed of Angeles, Magalang, Mabalacat and Sn.Luis) and uh.. what’s VIAJAM? um.. The Music Team to be precise.
This is my Ministry Priority right now; I’m the OIC of the Music Team here in JIL Angeles… but God, Ptr.Arnel, Sis.Luz and Sis.Bheng already informed me that I should be ready to handle this team now meaning to be the Head. Ever since God has called me to serve Him; He already told me that He will use me mightily in the field of Music. Although I don’t understand Him that time, I thought He will just use me mightily as a Worship Leader… I didn’t know that Jesus visiting me in my room… had a big reason behind it.
But handling Music Team is not a child’s play. Sis.Edith Mendoza (JIL Worldwide Worship Leader head) said that before. You are not just accountable for your team… but as well for the congregation. How can you train them Physically and Spiritually? How can you prepare them for a spiritual battle every Sunday? How can you maintain their growth? It is totally nerve-racking.
Not only that…
If Handling VIAJAM or WAM is nerve-racking then becoming a PULPIT MINISTER is more than nerve-racking! Its not enough that you are a master of Speech Club, or you are very familiar talking to the crowd. Becoming a Pulpit Minister is not an Easy Job. Some people say, “If you are “dumb” become a pastor.” Preaching and teaching the Word of God is not an easy task. Because it is not about how you deliver the message but its how about you put the message in the hearts of those who are listening to you. Delivering the message of God is not about Skill or your pronunciation. It’s about sharing your relationship with God. Talking not only to the Physical senses of people but as well as their spiritual senses.
To God be the Glory, my Spiritual maturity has been increasing rapidly eversince March 1, 2009 (When God had visited me). But to tell you frankly, I do not know whether to be happy or frightened. Yes. I should be happy because this is the will of God… for His Children to be more matured Spiritually. But I am frightened because, It happened so fast! and I feel like I couldn’t go on with the flow.
“No time for Fear” - this what the Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart. This is the time of faith and determination. This is the time of Spiritual growth and the time to trust God 100%! This is the time to press on towards the Goal. I’ve been running away many times in the past years… but this time, I have to stand up and face to face accept the challenges that God has put in my life.
“NO TIME FOR FEAR
IT’S TIME FOR FAITH AND DETERMINATION”
…So Help me God, for You have said in Your Word in
“Zech 4:6: Not by our might, nor our power… but BY YOUR SPIRIT”
