As I looked back to the whole 40 days of purpose campaign in my church GMC, I have witnessed first hand life transformations. As I work with the youths in my church, I have learnt to understand them better each day, each week, each month. What make they behave the way they behave.
Aunty KG asked me on 10th August, during our celebration luncheon "What are the blessings in my life in these 40 DOP?"
Well........
This first one really touched me, encouraged me and fueled me up to meet more challenges in the youth ministry.
On the night of the 40DOP promotion in the youth fellowship, I challenged the youth to 'see' how their spiritual walk with God was in the form of a plant.
1. She sees herself as a young plant which has been growing for some time. She mentioned that the plant was not growing well due to the weeds growing around it.
I asked her to pray about it and really seek God and ask Him what He wants to tell her about her spiritual growth in Him.
Days later, we managed to catch up and I followed up on the 'plant'. She shared the plant is subjected to a lot of weed influence and thus the growth was stunted. I probed further and enquire as to how she should respond to the 'message'. ' Erm... pull the weeds??' she asked. What are the weeds?
2 weeks later, she related to me that somehow or rather, her friends are showing their true colours..showing their other sides..(if you know what I mean).. she was aware of their gossipping, and back-stabbing. She was hurt. Then one by one, these friends left her.. and she has no idea why..
