Finding God beyond the limits of Man

Finding God beyond the limits of Man

The word which i believe God is speaking to us this season is to live a life of true faith. True faith is to rely on God and leave no man-made back up plans. As Senior Pastor relaunched the church into believing God for the multitudes, this same word has to be embraced at every level in the church.

For my Good Friday event, i combined with 2 other cells from Ps Timothy's side. The collaboration was a strategic one to reach out to the schools in the north (esp Canberra, where my BB work is based) For 2 months we gathered boys from the BB company and our cells for rock climbing and abseiling at Yishun Safra on Tuesdays. This Good Friday event was a finale for this 2-month fellowshipping. We did a canopy challenge walk (high ropes course) at Yishun Safra in the morning and ended the session with a testimony sharing by David Lim, a former member of a 4-men Antartica Expedition team.

Many thankgivings to share.

1. That week itself had many wet days including Good Friday itself when it was pouring heavily in the north at dawn (i was awakened by the rain). Thankfully, God heard my simple prayer and the weather was perfect when i walked to Safra later the morning.

2. We booked a room for our games and testimony presentation. When i reached, i realized it was used by another group and apparently the staff made a mistake. The mistake was good for us as they gave us a much better conference room. Bigger space, better set up, colder air con and nice carpeted floor.

3. After some warm up games, we headed for the adventure. The experience was not conducted by me but i thank God that it did bring many of our boys to a point of recognizing their fears and their limits. Even those who thought they are brave enough felt it was challenging. This was what i wanted to link to the main message of our Good Friday event.

4. I met up with David. We have no prior discussion on his sharing but when he ran through with me his testimony and slides. It fitted with my message perfectly. He is a friend introduced by Kenneth Tan and is in our FCBC Men's Network. His testimony about his journey with God was amazing and in many of the boys' feedback, that was the highlight of the day. The trip to South Pole (Antartica) is known to be the toughest journey on earth. His sharing basically tells us that when all things fail, we only can rely on God. We all need God in our lives.

5. I transited into a message for the boys to know what Good Friday was about and what God did for us. My message was intentionally given for both believers and prebelievers about believing in a God who offers a life beyond human limits and understanding. Upon collecting the response card, we had 2 salvations, 1 rededication and 1 other cell member who raised his hand to re commit to a life to believing God again. I believe the heavens rejoiced.

6. Personally, i thank God as i saw my own guys rallied together in supporting the event in logistics and refreshment. This is the first time i saw them together serving with me in the north.

7. Finally, when i worked out my accounts for the event, every dollar and cent i got (tribe fund or collection) covered perfectly for all expenses. God is good!

We have a God who answers the cries of our hearts. We have a God who offers an adventure beyond the limits and understanding of Man. Are you willing to walk this journey with Him? Decide today and live it out.
