We were playing a game in cell, and one of the questions went like this...
If you can be anyone in this world, who will you be?Some said Obama, others said Bill gates.
My cell leader thought for a while
and said
'Me'.
How apt.
I did copy his answer too.
We shared about the issue of fellowship.
My cell leader came up with a box of subway cookies, i gasped.
Many of my cell members did too.
But as we opened the box, looked at each other's faces, we knew there wasnt enough for everyone to have one.
So we started sharing, 1 cookie for every 2 persons.
After we were done with the first box, he said,
"This is fellowship, all of you shared, and because of that, God will give you more."
He took out another box. This time, the cookies were nearly overflowing.
My mouth dropped, hung there for a good half minute, and then i said, "2 boxes and 5 cookies."
Indeed God gives more when we start sharing.
He multiplies the love, joy and utility derived from sharing.
Imagine the first person to receive the basket of 5 loaves and 2 fishes hogged the basket, it will never multiply would it?
Since he would have finished everything at one go.
I give my tithes once every month, for the entire month.
So there would be three weeks when i do not tithe.
Every time i held that empty envelope, God did say,
"It is okay, in that envelope is your love for Me, and My love for you."
I could only smile.
I am glad i am starting to feel the urge to bring those dear at heart to Christ, those near and ready to enter the gates of heaven.
I need to pray
more for them.
But i am glad, because i see many open doors.
And i guess, God is glad that i am responding.
Interesting that God is using Masterlife to do more than i thought it would.
I need to start my arty bit again.
I change the lives around me bit by bit when i keep using words to impact people.
Youth
Impact - Start living it out.
