A committed Cell Leader

I don't have a full time job. My days are occupied with children stuff, family and church. I spend a lot of time thinking about my cell group members. I do a lot of things to encourage them to draw closer to God, in any way I can. Before Fridays Cell Group meetings, I think about how to facilitate the discussion, I think about what message I want to impart on my members. Recently, I will do up a nice picture of a Bible verse and I include practical ways on how we can apply that verse in our daily lives. I constantly thinking about how can I bring the cell group to go towards the calling God has for them. And I do many more... 

Am I more committed compared to other Cell group leaders who only conduct cell group meetings, and check in on the members by text once in a while, because they have a full time job, and therefore can't have the time to do the things that I do? 

Are all Cell group leaders expected to carry out the same amount of work?

I have been thinking about the answers to these questions, because I believe that the answer is "no". But I couldn't find an analogy to explain my belief. I believe that I am not committed more than the CGLs who do basic duties. And today I found the analogy to explain that. 

Imagine a woman who suddenly become pregnant, give birth to a child, and She decided to become a stay at home to care for the child. Is she more motherly or more committed than the mothers who can't be at home with the kids, who can't do activities with the kids, because they have a full time job? The answer is no!!

I do more, not because I am more committed! I do more because I simply have the time.. I believe that the other CGLs love their members as much as, or perhaps more than I do! We all want the best for our members, as how a mother wants the best for their child. The method we adopt can be different. The amount of time we spend on our member, depends on other commitments we have. But one thing is the same, we love our brothers and sisters in Christ and we love the Church.

I don't want to be excited for Heaven

  I don't want to look forward to Jesus's Second Coming so that I can finally enter the New Heaven and Earth. I think if I have that mindset, I have missed the point of becoming a Christian.  Today as I was praying, I told God that I want to be excited for Heaven because I can finally be with God and be with Jesus! Not because I can stay in Heaven. I want to be excited because I can be in God's presence for eternity. But.. then I think.. what does it mean and what does it look like, living with God literally and physically? And how is it different from now? Yes God is not physically with us, but God is with us, God will help us when we need Him, God answer our prayers, God do miraculous things on earth, God speaks to us. Other than being physically with Him, what are we looking forward to, in Heaven? I don't have the answer to that. That is why I cannot get myself excited to go to Heaven to be with God. Because I am with Him now. But I want to be excited for Heaven .. S...

The Signs of the End Time as in the Days of Noah

 'But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. ' Matthew 24:37-39 https://www.bible.com/bible/114/MAT.24.37-39 God has given us clue as to what it would look like when the end is coming.  Humans would be doing all kinds of evil and living a godless lives. 'Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ' (Genesis 6:5) The people back then were doing what their heart desired up to the day of the flood. I would imagine that the boat is humongous and Noah was building it over a long period of time, there was no way that other people did not see what Noah was doing. And I am pretty sure people would ...

A Leader's Reflection

 We are all equal Some might do "bigger" things, some "smaller" things, but bottom line is that no one is greater or smaller in God's eyes. We are all equal.  This is my first reflection write-up. I want to do this to journal what I learnt from the Lord and my fellow brothers and sisters-in Christ. Recently, there is an incident that happened in my cell group. So many things I want to say, but today I want to write my personal reflection based on the incident. So, when the incident happened, I took it upon myself that I had to solve this issue. It did not cross my mind to rally others to help. Because I afraid to put this burden unto unwilling individuals. However, without me asking, there are many of the cell members who immediately reached out to the affected members to offer emotional support. I was so humbled because I always thought that my cell members are all busy people that only have time for their family and work. But it turned out that they are so rea...
