Just like Aaron and Hur
 Joshua 17:12-1312 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword. Just like how Aaron and Hur supported Moses in the midst of battle and that resulted to victory. The above man of God did and are doing likewise in the current ministry. Truth be is is this, though we might not engaged in a battle that is as ferocious in the physical sense but it's equal or if not even more in the spiritual sense. If plain leadership in the world seems tormenting to one physical being, then spirit leadership would aggravate all the three aspects of physical, emotional and spiritual. That alone is leadership, but we have not factor in the stuff that one has to administer. By now, I'm not advocating that leadership is direful to oneself but it's reap so much joy when you know who you want to please. At the same time, i know all our ID:JC leaders have at least the similar foundation reasons on our service to God. Of which, one would be because it flows our of our love for God. Eph 6:12 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Before I further deviate, I was saying that on top of leadership which I believe that most leaders would agree with me that it's taxing the load of replying mails, booking of rooms and many others can at time be a toll to the physical self. However, if all these administration is not done well the entire body of Christ suffers. Simply because the church is govern by three concept of growth (at least for now) spirit, structure and system. If the system were to fail, no matter how deep the spirit is and effective the structure it's counter productive. As a leader for many years, I must admit that I am not one that can do all three effectively and especially when my age is catching up. That explains for the amount of depletion of energy at times. Therefore, the system indeed is a imperative though seemingly insignificant process of growth. Though that is what it's portray, I would beg to differ. Simply because the system is simply like the backbone of the church. The blood could represent the spirit and structure might be the muscles but if there were no backbone it's simply collapses. Therefore at this particular point of time, I would like to esteem two person in GEN that have been managing the system well in GEN which actually contributes to ID:JC growth. In fact, this is not even managing but a healthy discipleship. Where the baton is now pass on to Jun Jie from Jericho. Jericho, i honestly cannot count with my bare hands on the number of times I called you out of the blue to either book room, checking availability of rooms, stats and even checking of meeting dates. Out of the countless number of times, you have never rejected me once and give me the necessary updates that were required. Honestly, like what i always say i really cannot imagine life without you. For the numerous times on reminders with payment to the rooms, it really helps. GEN was able to administer well because of your constant faithfulness. Once again, I want to just take minutes out to appreciate all that you have done behind the scene. Thank God for you! Continue to use your faithfulness to lead your people and I honestly look forward to the day where I can sit beside you in the Youth LGLM level. Till today, my belief in you has never subsided. Jia you! You are doing well, keep up the good work! Continue to work on areas that you know that might hinder you! :D Don't let those minor barriers stop a giant for God to achieve even greater things for his Kingdom. Once again, you are truly appreciated! BTW readers, my theology of faithfulness is not merely managing but being able to produce fruits. Don't believe me, just read the parable of talents. :D Now, the Jericho has set the stage our very own loving shepherd Jun Jie. I know that butterfly feeling that rushes through stomach and blood when this role was empowered to you. On one hand, it was the feeling of inadequacy while the other was filled with excitement. Your enthusiasm for the work of the Lord is commendable. I still vividly recount last Youth LGLM you were outside America room to chase leaders for stats. Of which, I wonder if you have ever asked yourself why go that mile to do all these? Even if you did, I know and believe everything that flows our from you is from a reservoir of unconditional love that comes from a personal relationship with Him. Secretly, I often chanced upon your blog and one of your most recent post was about asking God to equip you to administrate better. Friend, your diligence in the kingdom matters has more impacted than what you are doing. Though it seems small, but i was to empower you to think bigger. Whenever you keep doing your best, what you are simply doing is more than GEN, ID:JC, North but it's to the entire youth level. That being that means international. As mentioned earlier leadership is more than spirit and structure, you sustained the backbone! So friend, my only expectation from you is simply your best. Jericho have set the stage higher than the previous (Sentosa), now it's your time to elevate it by just continue doing what you have been doing. :D If I were to go on, i can but i know that would strain your eyes. So I want to encourage you to draw strength from God daily as you continue to engage in Kingdom business in whatever you do. Simply from going to school, shepherding, outreaching and so much more. Let the love of God continue to liberate from all the things you do. To me, you are someone that I am quite certain that God will use greatly to impact lives individually that will reap a ripple effect as you continue to walk with Him. Though sometimes the road will seem bleak, but you must always remember that God is still molding you to become the man he has wanted you to be. Once again, I'm honored to serve alongside with two man of God who I know that were not simply made to do the ordinary but extraordinary. Keep up your faith and treasure your walk with God. Never lost sight of what does it mean to be child like. If there's just one thing I want and can keep up with you guys is a child like faith. I'm apprehensive that my age can ever run slower and wait for you guys. But I know my faith can! :D Signing off, David Hoe Labels: great man of God |
