My eyes were closed when the alarm kept bugging. I reset it again and again, in every ten minutes interval. An evil thought came and was trying to persuade me to be absent from service altogether. I almost gave in. Minutes later, Holy Spirit whispered, "you gotta go church today, God has an important message for you!"
Lying in my bed in partial disbelief of what the spirit had told me, little did I know that God has something serious to tell me today. I finally obeyed the spirit and forced myself to church, thinking it would be just another plain service. But God meant business. When He says He wanted to tell you some important things, He will reveal to you.
First, He spoke directly to the challenging situation I am in now in pursuit of career advancement. "In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Secondly, the preaching today emphasized a lot in reviving the "defunct" Nilai group. According to pastor, thousands of students are there and the work of revival is "up and running". It's heartstrings tugging when pastor Simon said, "how bout Nilai, jadi? Tak jadi?" He kept asking, what the progress is. I hope so much that time no one would notice or remember I was once from Nilai group. It felt like old wound reopen. Embarrassment filled me, doesn;t matter whose fault. Now the question arises. Who will take charge? I don't know. But one thing I know for sure- I will not be left out in this re-establishing effort which is taking place now. I can sense that something great and mighty will take place soon in this land of Nilai. Be prepared to be swept away by God's wave! Now the pieces of puzzles in my life are slowly coming together to form a complete picture. I now understand why I have this passion and burden for Nilai, for no specific reason, while everyone tries to stay as far away as they possibly could from Nilai. It's not a big town to start with, nor is it a populated and convenient place to live in. Being situated some 70 km away from city centre, it's hardly glamour. But the sole and major gateway to the land of Malaysia by flight has to be done via KLIA. For this reason, this town gains little fame, and there're fraction of airline's communities here. Somehow, I feel comfortable residing here. There're times when I ask myself when I should pack and go back hometown. But every time when I am back home, I have the feeling that that's not the place to Lord leads me to, and I feel uncomfortable.
And oh, the vow! It's a vow that was made when I asked for job in my current company. The vow requires me to serve in Nilai, which I promised God that I would. Years went by with no sign of that vow coming to pass. I witnesses the rise and fall of the ex Nilai group. I thought the fall of it means the end, and my vow won't be valid anymore. No, I shouldn't have thought so, because God remembers that vow, and He's causing Nilai group to rise again, under new leadership. Nothing can bury it if God doesn't desire it to be that way, the seemingly dead group is being brought back to life once again no matter how deep under the earth it's buried. Hey, it's a good news though. God sparks new hope in us, and I'm hopeful that it'd be great success, not just barely surviving.
You can't fathom God. I told Him before I wanted to serve more effectively. Now the door is open. I am not sure about you, but I foresee unprecedented favour in future, and I shall serve God like never before, because I want His will to be done, on earth as it's in heaven.
Be ready guys, exciting time ahead.
