Revival is Here

Yes hahaha I’ve been hibernating. There are various reasons but who cares!! I are here. =D

I’ve got a confession to make.

When I first entered my class, I said to God, “God.. How is it gonna happen? It looks so impossible.”

But then I told myself, when I was Form 1-3.. Ten people (including myself) in my class accepted Christ. Why not, my current class right?

And now, it’s happening.

everyone’s name will be written with initials for privacy purposes

RP was sharing with me earlier this year that he used to smoke and almost got into a gang fight. Towards the end of last year, he felt God prompting him to stop and he did. Praise the Lord!! Even so, he didn’t constantly read his Bible and etc etc.

As some of you may know, I was the sesat (lost) person that joined my course 2 weeks late. On the 3rd week, I was assigned to partner with RP for a short English assignment and it was good because it allowed me to get to know a lil’ more of him. A few days after that, we sat together in class and I found out that he was a Christian!! Not only that but he was looking for a Church to attend. So, I invited him to my Church. =) Then, we both shared about how we both came to know Christ and various other testimonials.

Then he said this, “I think God really sent you to bring me back to Him. I haven’t been close to Him lately.”

Wow. During our last SAM holiday, his friend got possessed by a demon and loads of things happened. To cut the long story short, the demon left his friend and started following him (not possessing. just following). Two of his other friends were with him when this happened and when they went to the Church to ask the pastor to cast the demon out, one of his friends accepted Christ as his personal Saviour! Praise the Lord!! After this incident, RP has made a point to attend Church regularly. Woooot.

RN has been attending prayer meetings regularly and she’s been calling her friends to join us for prayer as well!! It’s a pleasure that I get to read her journal as she shares her personal problems with me. It’s a joy to just grow and build with a fellow sister-in-Christ. She has recently managed to conquer and overcome her obstacles by the grace of God.

NH and PS have been attending CF regularly and NH is serving in the worship team!! Recently, PS decided to serve in the worship team as well and wow. They’ve been visiting my Church on and off and NH has decided to attend HOMEs regularly after last week. She’ll be inviting her other friends as well. Besides that, they’ve both decided to put in more effort to wake up earlier to come to prayer meetings!! =D

I also thank God for these two because now, I get to share freely with the both of them and vice versa. It’s good because we get to check on one another to see if we’re on the right track or not. God is good.

DY accepted Jesus into his life when he was 5. He attends Church with his mum but has never really been all out for God. He swears and complains and sighs A LOT.

A few weeks back, I asked him, “What so constructive about swearing and your sigh-ing?”

And from that day onwards, I haven’t heard him swear. Praise the Lord!! DY does not take Legal Studies (whereas I do) so last week, we had a test on Wednesday. He had nothing to do while the test was going on so I asked him if he wanted to listen to sermons recorded on my phone. He said yes. =D When the test was over, he said, “Hey.. Those sermons.. They were quite good.”

The next day, right before Legal Studies, he asked me, “You have some more sermons with you?”

Wow. God is good. And he’ll be following me to Church this week!!

IK is a Buddhist girl from my class and she wears like those crystal thingies around her neck and hand and God knows where else. While I was talking to DY about Church transport and stuff, she asked me, “You guys go to Church ar?”

Me, “Yeap.”

IK, “You guys are Christian ar?”

Me, “Yeap haha. Why?”

IK, “Oh me too!! I accepted Christ 2 weeks ago.”

Wow. I found out that RP shared the Gospel with her. I invited her to Church and her reply delighted me even more. She said, “I can’t come soon. I’m very committed to my Church. But I’ll find time!!”

It’s so nice to know that she wants to stay committed to where she is.

KR is a free-thinker and he can’t exactly speak Chinese but one day, during LAN class, he tried to. He said to DL (in Chinese), “I want to go see Church” (yes it’s broken Chinese)

DL, “Go Church to see what?”

KR, “To see Jesus!!”

DL, “See Jesus for what?”

KR, “See whether He’s nice to look at or not” (all the above in Chinese)

And before I continue.. I am NOT close to this guy AT ALL. And I wasn’t part of the conversation. Then he said, “Hey Ann Ee!! Tell me something about Jesus.”

Me, *stares (yes it was very rude but I couldn’t help it) at him for a good 5 seconds* “Uh.. What do you want to know?”

KR, “Exactly!! I don’t know anything so tell me something”

Me, “Uh..” I was too lost for words to say anything. >< Because sometimes, it’s so hard to talk about Jesus to anyone but this guy is like asking me to tell him about Jesus!! And the most awesome thing happened after that. KR, “Never mind. I’ll follow you to Church this Sunday.”

God’s favour was/is/will be really raining down on my class.

AW is like lol. Honestly, she amazes me with how she can take 10 hours to put makeup on her face and come to class without completing any of her work.

Now, she’s sensed the urgency to really buck up and start studying. I kinda understand how she feels because I’ve been there at one point of my life. It’s like you know you’ve been lazy and now, you just want to start studying but you’re hopeless because you do not know where to start. When I was at that low point, it was really God that helped me up and now, I want to help her up.

Today, I gave her my Legal Studies notes and I see that God is making a way for me to grow with her and help her even in her walk. Maybe, I could learn something from her too!! Praise God for her humility to ask for help.

There’s JL who’s like a small boy. He’s Catholic and he’s very willing to listen about the Word of God. Recently, he’s been asking me a lot of questions about the Bible (because he doesn’t bother reading his) and how I came to know Jesus. I see a door open before me!!

I’ve known SJ since I was 10 and now, God has placed her close to me in class. It’s been really good because she’s extremely open to whatever I have to say about Christ. I’m so amazed la.

Last week during our break before the Legal Studies test, PS was asking me where is a quiet place to study. So I said, “Let’s go to Positive Cafe.” =D

PS, “Where’s that?”

Me, “Next to 7 Eleven.”

PS, *looking confused* “Uh okay..”

Honestly, I was quiet anxious because I was afraid that she would be freaked out or something by the praise & worship songs playing in the background. Silly me. THEN, Pr. Andy walked in!! And I did this on purpose lol.

Me, “Hi PASTOR!!”

PS stared at Pr. Andy and she said to me, “That’s a pastor?! Oh my goodness doesn’t look like one wei.”

Me, “Haha that’s cause people’s perception of pastors are old and boring.”

PS, “Yeah that’s actually quiet true. Where’s your Church anyway?”

Me, “At Summit. Wanna visit one day?” =)

PS, “Yeah sure. I’ll come with WW.”

Woooooooooooooot.

Praise to the Lord who is higher than high. It is only God that all these are possible. I know DY is reading this. HAHAHA hi!

psst. I was supposed to post this during 24th of April but I think I clicked on ’save draft’ instead of publish. Here it is!
