Hey guys! i'm still alive and kickin'. LOL. it's not because of the recession that i didn't blog for so long. haha. One of the reasons was THE computer crash. LOL. Even our laptop knows how to sympathize with the stock market.
Anyway, yesterday, we went for iWorship 101(exclusive) which was held at Tiong Bahru. Guess who the teacher was? None other than Bro. Poh!First of all, it was cool. *As we stepped inside the room, you could feel the presence of God and it was real strong. Immediately, the verse about "worshippers who worship in spirit and in truth" came to me. Here were all the people just lifting up their hands, singing their hearts out to God and it was amazing. You could feel everyone having a revival!
*In case you were wondering, we got lost and we had to take a bus back, cross the street and look for the place which was kind of hard to find. If it were not for the sign outside which said "...worship class", we would've missed this great meeting.
So, we settled down and Bro. Poh talked about having a balance between being spiritual and having the skills. It's important to rely on the Spirit and at the same time, to upgrade ourselves. I could say that this doesn't only apply to guitar playing and song leading, it applies to every area of our lives. i was really awestruck by how enthusiastic and passionate Bro. Poh is about what he was teaching. He said we were going to bring the fire down during the praise and worship time of our cellgroups because of what we were going to learn. He shared his experiences as a music director, cellgroup guitarist and worship leader.
What really made an impact on me was his closing statement which went something like this: Putting aside all the big events in our church, we have about 40 weeks left in which we can have our cg meetings. "Every cg meeting that we have is a chance to touch people's lives. Every cg meeting is a chance not only to be touched by God but an opportunity to bring a change in someone else's life. Every cg meeting is not a routine or just another meeting, it's a chance to be a miracle to someone else. If that miracle can happen when you play the guitar or when you lead the members through a song IN ONE cg meeting, imagine what 40 cg meetings can do!"
There were so many things that Bro. Poh wanted to teach us and so many things he wanted to tell us that i can't say anything else but a big "WOW".
Next lesson, it will be about worshipping in the Spirit and a whole lot more so i'm gearing myself up for a boost in my spiritual life --and my guitar playing (lol..it won't be a 4 chord-playing anymore)!
P.S. OVERDUE photos from Kim's musical.
