God Sends the Right People at the Right Time

I praise God for His goodness, despite of my busy schedule this week.  I was incredibly powered up to preach in our three services.  It seems the Holy Spirit has given me much strength today that I was able to speak and deliver my sermon well.  I believe God has used me to speak to our congregation.  I felt so much conviction in each word I uttered.  I pray that our congregation whether young or old would have the conviction to share the gospel always.

The first service where I usually would falter or would have a poor delivery was fine as compared to my past experiences.  I also praise God for giving me opportunity to really brush my Hookien language that I have been consistent so far to speak in Hokkien to our Hokkien congregation, and speak in English to our English congregation.

I think the SPA during Saturday night helped me to get well rested for the next day's preaching.  My godson and goddaughter convinced me to go for spa with them, which I was hesitant at first because I have not really gone through my messages.  After the SPA, we ate and I was able to go through my message in both languages and had a good sleep.

Also another good thing in our church, we have good people who help me with my Chinese, with Cathy chi helping me with my Chinese characters and line of thought as I translate my English manuscript to Chinese manuscript; Siu Wan chi who makes precise and adjust the translation of my published outline, she even make sure that my point really connects with the passage I have chosen; and of course Leonida chi who will listen to my delivery to help me correct my line of thought making sure they are understandable by the congregation.

God is in control of our life.  He provides the right people around us to support us in our ministry. I praise God for He is real in my life, always taking care of me and my needs.

To God be all the glory!!!
