G.S.T

April 2015 is significant because of GST which came into force on 1 April.

However we need not fear the physical GST on our bills if we keep on focusing on the spiritual GSTs and keep building up ourselves in them:

1. GST - Glorious Strengthening Time

The time spent during the morning watches are Glorious Strengthening Times for me enabling me to face the challenges of the day ahead.

Time spent reading the Bible are also Glorious Strengthening Time for me. I love writing scriptures and memorizing them. These are times when I feel I am gloriously strengthened.

2. GST - Great Strength in Trials

As I go through the day and face all kinds of difficulties at work, I will experience Great Strength in Trials especially when I have had the Glorious Strengthening Time with JESUS in the morning and in the Word of God.

3. GST - Gospel Sharing Time

What a wonderful weekend of sharing the Gospel we had last Saturday. We were witnessing and sharing the 4 spiritual laws with my cousin at one of the rest stop all the way to Penang and back. Listening to Cho Yonggi's message and worshiping in the car, I believe that we had left seeds of the Gospel to germinate in her heart.

When we reached Penang, we were surprised to learn (although I suspected it) that my cousin was marrying a Christian! However what I did not know was that she was a pastor's daughter. 

My auntie and uncle had not been receptive to the Gospel all this while but the wedding of their son that Saturday must have changed things for them. In fact the whole clan turned up (on my mother's side) and they heard the message on the marriage covenant preached from the book of Ephesians. 


4. GST - Godly Supplication Time

Supplication time has to be godly because God's eyes are upon the righteous and His ears open to their cry. Before we come to prayer, we need to cleanse ourselves of our sins and forgive others so that God will hear us when we pray.

5. GST - Generous Sowing Time or Giving & Sowing Time

Offering time will always be Generous Sowing Time when we regard our giving as being used by the Lord to bring about/facilitate Gospel Sharing Times for us through the various community projects embarked upon by our church.

Amen.
