In the past when i sought breakthrough for my old cell, i really wanted them to be a passionate people. Having this new cell really was quite a struggle, many things have changed since the old cell. For one, i not only want a passionate people, i want people who want to really know God through his word, who want to live extraordinarily. However i just felt this spirit of passiveness and unfamiliarity amongst them that scared me.
It was/has been such a huge struggle, i learnt the hard way that you can't just talk, you need to walk the talk IN FRONT OF YOUR MEMBERS. Breakthrough came through worship, God just came and swept us away. It wasn't a loud thing, it was such a restful presence. Rest that restores. After which, i wanted to share on Hannah's prayer for Samuel in 1 Sam 1, and it instead morphed into a Bible history lesson, and they all loved it. I never thought they'd catch it, but i believe this is a sign of more things to come.
There were so many things i wanted my cell to be, but in the end, God's plan worked the best, indeed in his timing.
I just wanted to share (maybe if my cell members see this they'll know what an encouragement they are) that God does provide breakthroughs in cell. It all began a few months ago when Alina shared that she really wanted us to dig into God's word to know Him, somehow i caught that, and now my cell has got it. (i believe) I guess that's in some sense impartation, and it's a concept i still ... am so in love with.
PS: a fellow leader and i realized we can't stop talking about our cells/ministry etc. and we realized that to people outside, they would think of us as really boring. I don't deny i might be, but i really think there's no better place to be in then where God has called you to, and brought a burning passion about, and honestly it's really hard to not talk about something you're passionate about, right? heh.
Thank you Lord, for everything. really.
