I came to know the Lord sometime last year, and was greatly blessed when I attended Tommy Tenney’s God Chaser Seminar over the weekend of 10-11 May 2008. I learnt about the importance of emptiness in our life as a disciple of Christ, the value of hunger in a christian’s faith journey, and had a renewed perspective on what worship really is.
Pastor Tommy Tenney shared that the extent of emptiness in a person’s life, is the extent in which God can bless us. Just like the story of empty vessels being filled in 2 Kings chapter 4. The amount of empty vessels was the amount of oil that God gave to the lady, who went around ‘gathering emptiness’. It made me realize that I should stop feeding myself with worldly, temporal things like time consuming computer games so that I can experience God’s blessings in greater abundance my life. What I choose to fill me determines the amount of blessings that God can fill me with. It also greatly assures me, that whenever I feel that there is a great deal of loss and emptiness at any moment in my life, I know that I can look forward to seeing God fill up the emptiness with His blessings as I keep His laws.
I’ve also learnt that through worshipping God, Judgement and Truth will be filtered through and His Mercy would be allowed to reach out and touch the lost, the people around us. Wow! I never knew we can actually take control of the revival of Singapore, of our marketplace, our home through our worship! I’m excited! It greatly blessed me to know that His mercy and not His terrifying Judgement is upon my family. One of them is still unsaved in my immediate family and most of my extended family has backslidden in their faith. But I trust that the kingdom of God is near them, even as I and my younger sister, Tiffany, who has also accepted Christ at the end of last year, believe God for complete salvation for our family.
Praise God for the wonderful works He has done!
