Cell was awesome today. Definitely glad that I went :)
Sermon was about Honouring your civil authority
Have you ever thanked bus drivers for providing service to the country or to the policeman who had just fined you for speeding?
I am sure many of us have taken for granted this service rendered or even talk behind their backs like "screw this policeman mann, go and fined me."
I realise if we do that, we are actually burning the bridges that we are trying to connect with the rest of the people. Instead of reaching out to them, we are throwing it away by speaking ill of them or joining in to gossip or spite them.
To honour God is to honour your leaders, parents, cleaners, teachers, etc. Those in authority. Even though they might be at fault at times, always honour them! If they sinned, God will handle them.
I challenge you guys to do a simple gesture be it telling the stallholder, hey thanks for the food! Your service is good. Words of encouragement really helps and you are honouring them indirectly!
According to John Bevere,
When God's people honour those in authority, pray for them, walk in obedience to God's words, we will see outpourings of God's spirit on our towns, cities and nations.
EXAMS COMING SOON SOON SOON. haha I am already thinking of post exams. hehehe shop till i drop whoooo anyway, revision is not going really that well but Im really gonna give it to God. Do the best that I can and leave the rest to Him. Fear or worry is not gonna paralyse me cus its not gonna bring me anywhere. Trust in Him instead cus He will deliver me throughhh :)
Honestly, it sounds like easier said than done. But its all about believing and letting it go. Let go, let God :)
ALL THE BEST GUYS :)
