How Lovely, His Thoughts Toward Me!

So You Would Come

- Hillsong

. . .

Before the world began, you were on His mind

And every tear you cry is precious in His eyes

Because of His great love, He gave His only Son

Everything was done so you would come

Nothing you can do could make Him love you more

And nothing that you've done could make Him close the door

Because of His great love, He gave His only Son

Everything was done so you would come

Come to the Father, though your gift is small

Broken hearts, broken lives, He will take them all

The power of the Word, the power of His blood

Everything was done so you would come

Sunday Service with Pastor Prince

Just as Hillsong sings, "And every tear you cry, is precious in His eyes"; how lovely, His thoughts toward me. Abba Daddy gave me His confirmation for the third time in today's message. Oh, how thoughtful He is towards me! There is none like Him.

It was pale white and dull as a worn-out, over-washed old rag; liveless and painfully scarred over time by vigorous rubbing against its washing board. My aunty's countenance this morning, her weak body bending forward in pain, stirred my emotions again. She looked worst.

I cried to Daddy from my heart, helpless and painful. For a moment, my emotions had caused me to lose strength over my mind, to do what's best for the situation. Weakly, after a pause, I began to pray in Tongues under my breath. Yet again, worries surfaced and took over my mind while I had barely begun my prayers, and interrupted the flow. I doubted again. "Should I lay hands now? What if it doesn't work?" The two same, burning questions.

But how many of you really really know, God is so good?

When I fell back in the same struggles, in the face of my mountain (problems, worries), little had I expected the third confirmation, firmest of all! But Daddy willingly gave with great patience.

As Pastor continued the series on praying in the Spirit this afternoon, he shared a few encounters the author of Chasing the Dragon had met with, while evangelising in the dark borders of Hong Kong. Instead of visiting the tourists attractions, she loitered around where brothels, drug-dealing dens and secret society nests were found. What she saw was heart-wrenching. Much as she wanted to reach out to the losts when she had just begun her evangelism there, she did not feel the power in her to perform miracles. I felt her. I knew then, Daddy's speaking to me, and the answer was soon to be unveiled! My heart leapt with great excitement and expectations!

It was later when she got baptised in the Holy Spirit and received the gift of Tongues. Yet even so, she put her gift aside, and did not "practise" and "utilise" it. She did not understand the power of praying in Tongues. But thank God she met a glorious couple one day. She noticed their glow and asked them their secrets. They shared that they pray in Tongues very often. The then self-righteous her, replied with disbelief. She did not believe that speaking in a language she doesn't understand would do much help. She did not trust the one gift that God has given her. The couple rebuked her immediately, saying she was rude to disregard God's gift for her.

Thank God again, after the conversation and much repentance, she made it a point to pray in Tongues for at least 15 minutes every day. Thereafter, the power in her was "stirred" and "fanned into flame"; great power came upon her! She accounted in her book that she then laid hands and healed the sick (such as drug addicts), the losts got saved and gangsters of the secret societies respected her for what she'd done! They even offered to protect her without fee! It was almost natural, all effortlessly (without struggles). God's grace and favour was greatly, abundantly upon her!

There! My answer!

HALLELUJAH!

And I felt like bursting into tears of JOY!

And I felt like dancing in circles, galloping in ROUNDS!

And I felt like dashing into the mighty arms of my lovely Abba Daddy

to hug Him & kiss Him & tell Him I love Him so much!

For only He understands my heart...

For Only He is worthy of all Glory and Praises!

I LOVE MY JESUS! *MUA!*
