Choose to Build, Not to Destroy

In the Bible, there are a few mentions of special relationships between the leader and his armourbearer.

One of the most special relationships is the one between Jonathan and David.
The Word of God tells us that their souls were knitted together.

When Samuel anointed David to be King, David did not immediately receive the kingdom.
David is not immediately ready. The vision is not complete. His faith, the substance of his reality to be, is not complete. If his vision were a building, it probably lacked a few pillars or a few bricks here and there.

Jonathan was one of the man sent to David to put in a few pillars.
Jonathan loved David.

Friends, when our leaders cast a vision before us, do we kill the vision with doubt, unbelief and quiet criticism? Or do we cast in our lot with him and build the vision with him?

The building is not complete, choose to put in the pillar, choose to strengthen the vision of the leader.

I believe and I choose to cast in my lot with my leader.

Preaching Tests

It was a rare opportunity and privilege to preach.
Homiletics is definitely one of the highlights of my time in SOT.

Thank you to Mabelline for recording 10mins of my preaching.
Mabelline, in my opinion, is one of the best preachers. I have a lot to learn from her.
One of the coolest and cutting edges of Team 18.

Thank you to Kin Sung for the breakfast nasi lemaks and bee hoons. My stomach is filled before the tests every single day because of his diligent trips to the coffeeshop.

I feel loved.. haha..
