Back from the Station of Life

Yes, I have not been posting as I have been away in Lahat Datu, Sabah, East Malaysia for 3 weeks at the Station of Life. It was a wonderful break for me. Time was spent absorbing truths and revelations from seasoned men and women of God who has fought with lions and bears. They were not just preaching sermons or teaching subjects. Their message was their life with God - God's dealings in their own lives. It was also a time to get discipline in the basic of fasting and spending at least at hour with God daily. Build some new friendships.
There was one clear observation during this interaction - Many pastors and Christian workers are not experiencing spiritual community in their Christian Life. How can we truly build His Church [ His Community] if ministers themselves do not experience church as a living reality. Most are in Christian ministry fulfilling their spiritual responsibility as Christian care-givers but very few have brothers and sisters that they can relate to honestly on a regular basis. My key emphasis is "Honest relationship". No wonder many in the ministry get tired, disillusioned and burnt out. The community with Christ as the center and the dynamics of the Holy Spirit provides for us a well for our cleansing and refreshing. Jesus asked us to wash each others feet - John 13:14. Are you taking off your sandals and is anyone washing your feet? Do not get used to the dust on your feet. Before long, you might limping away on a different path. Let us walk this journey together. Shalom.
