My dinner :P |
Last sunday in church, I clearly remember the altar call asked us to make commitment to Jesus, to pray 5 more mins than we usually do ( seek His presence) and be still and ask God what He wants us to do, the pastor then said "Maybe God want you to leave your comfort zone? For example, simple, start cooking?" Then I was like "Hmmm, God :/"
Hahaha I had been afraid of fire for the past 18 years, I didn't even know how to use stove. I couldn't even stand near firework which is so beautiful. I'm blessed with family who can afford maids so I don't have to cook. Until I moved to Melbourne, I didn't bring my maid of course, hahaha so I have to do everything on my own including cooking and I kept saying to myself "I can't be like this forever, I mean I'm a woman and how can a woman cannot cook?! So embarrassing, I might be forever alone cos I cant' cook hahahaha :p" (Just kidding seriously I didn't say that one to myself) Then 3 days ago I planned to start cooking, I prayed to God "God please bless me, protect me, so that nothing bad will happen. I know You give me spirit of power and love not spirit of fear, so hear I am God taking one step ahead for You" Then I turned on the stove and nothing happened :D
It's all about taking one step ahead. We cannot just be the same Christian for years, we must go to the next level, leave our comfort zone, and keep going up. Like ezekiel 47:3-5 the water was ankle deep, then the next thousand cubits, it rose, rose, until it was so deep anyone who cross would be drowned. It talks about Holy Spirit and next level. We should be so filled with holy spirit until He is the one who fully takes control of our life :)
