Reflections from prayer meeting

I was really blessed by the prayer meeting we had today (20 Jan, Sat), and I thank God for His presence throughout the session. I went back with quite a few learning points and a renewed conviction to shine for God in the marketplace He’s placed me in.

I felt that the rhema word God had for me was the point about checking our motive in everything that we do. For me, this reminder from God came at a very apt time, even more so over the past few months, in line with what God has been teaching me. In my journey with the Lord, I’ve been learning to check my heart constantly; and God has shown me that at times, I tend to do things for my own glory instead of His. My prayer is that whenever I do anything for God, the love of, and for God will be what propels me, and that God will reveal to me any agenda I have which is not of Him.

God also spoke to me when we were praying for ourselves, and He said that in perfect love there is no fear. I was meditating upon this word and the Lord showed me how, in my school, in my class and among my friends, I am sometimes hesitant to testify about Him for fear of what others would think of me. God reminded me that it is only when I truly understand and receive within me the fullness of His love that there will be no fear of the opinions of others, but only the desire to love Him and give glory to Him. Praise God! for helping me to surrender all of myself to Him afresh and let Jesus sit in the driver’s seat of my life.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” – Ephesians 3:20
