Living Life To The Fullest With Christ
I received the Lord Jesus when I was 11. By the time I was 13, I was water baptised and had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I was on fire for the Lord, so much so that my parents became worried that my studies would be affected. To cut a long story short, they cut me off from attending church towards the end of my freshman year in high school.
Back then, I believed that by not going to church, I would fall away from God and He would be angry with me. I also believed that life would be more fun without Him. So when I was 15, I turned my back on Him, and told Him that I could not live the way He wanted me to because it was too hard. But if He would still want to have me, I would return to Him in my late 30s.
Years later, I moved from the United States to Singapore, and started attending New Creation Church regularly. By then, I was 39. Then, I remembered the prayer I made to God when I was 15 and realised that He had been patiently waiting for me. After wasting many years carrying my sins around like a ball and chain, and suffering the emptiness that comes from trying to be happy apart from God, the Lord brought me back to Him, and even made sure that I got to hear the gospel of grace preached by Pastor Prince!
At times, I fret over the years that I had wasted from not having believed right. But as I kept feeding on good spiritual food, and positioning myself to receive from my Abba, I kept growing in grace, and I am experiencing His blessings in my life manifested more and more. And praise the Lord, God has been restoring to me all that the locusts had eaten, and I am enjoying His blessings of the latter rain.
Last year, I had my cookbook published. In April this year, I received an email with news that my book had won an award as the best cookbook in Singapore, and it was in the running for an international award. Three months later, I attended the awards ceremony in Macau and I received the top prize! All glory to the Father of glory! Praise Jesus for His amazing favour!
Today, I am 52 years young, and I have been attending New Creation Church for over 12 years. I consider it such a privilege and honour to be part of this wonderful church. I want to thank all the pastors, especially Pastor Prince, for teaching the Word and loving us.
Now, I have come to realise that life is infinitely more fun with God!
