YM Service Sept 18, 2005
Today, we heard a very passionate sermon from our pastor Kay Huat. I'm not going to say much about the passionate sermon, but I'm going to talk about the people whom God is bringing into YM. It's been really amazing how the Lord has been bringing people into YM...people with the heart and passion for youths...to disciple them so that they will fulfill their destiny as a generation of purpose...a generation that will win the world for Christ.
Will we pay the price? (ok, just a little bit about the sermon) The truth for many of us is...that we are not willing. I pray that the Lord will work in our lives and our eyes may be opened to see how good the Lord is. Holy Spirit please touch our lives so that we know that all the riches and frills that this world can offer are dross compared to the glory of Your presence. Yes, it is the heart desire of the leaders that our youths may choose to pay the price. The fact that God is bringing in more leaders with that passion and that heart cry point to one thing--that He is about to do a great work in this ministry. What it is, we do not know, but the signs were already in place since 2 years ago...at the 2003 camp...the camp that changed many of our lives and our faiths...including mine.
Today the leaders were praying before service for the youths. During the service I was also praying and asking God to touch our congregation. I asked Him what He would do, and the word 'RESTORE' came to mind. the word 'FRUIT' also came to mind. The Lord was going to restore the youths who had strayed away from Him ,and they will be fruitful. Even for myself, I have been tired and restless, and when it came to keeping still and listening to the Lord, I found it difficult of late. As I prayed, the Lord also restored me unto Himself.
I am really excited about what God is going to do at YM Camp at the end of this year, because I know that He is preparing us for the work that He is going to do. Everybody, we need to watch and pray. Young people, open your eyes and ears to see and hear what is going on around YM. Gives thanks for the things He has done, and if there is anything that troubles you, bring it to the Lord in prayer. He will answer you and begin to change YM.
Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that He died for them
Tell the world that He lives again

This prayer blog is started to help us in Wesley Youth Ministry have a collective journal of God's dealings with each and every one of us. In time to come this blog will be a testimony to God's faithfulness to YM, as we look back through the months and the years and see in hindsight how the Lord has been working in and through us.
If you feel that you have anything to contribute to the blog, to give thanks to God for answered prayer, to encourage the body of Christ, or share what God has been speaking to you through prayer and QT, please email your entry to jiemin11@singnet.com.sg and include your name as you would like it to appear on the blog.
