Was talking to Ding Cheun yesterday about this and it really it me such that i want to share it here.

We need to expect God to move. Heard this before? Let me dissect it for it further.

You see, many Christians all over the world have been going to so many sub standard caregroups that we no longer expect our next caregroup to be a life changing one. We've had so many less than inspiring prayer meet that we no longer expect the one tomorrow to be one. We've attended so many sunday classes that had us walk away with nothing more then a sleepy head that we don't expect to learn much from the next. We've had so many mentoring session that was just... another mentoring session that we don't expect God to speak powerfully... the service we are about to go to, yeah, its just another service.... The list goes on...

This cannot go on! We need to expect God to move mightily in every setting. Everytime we gather, we need to expect life to change. Every caregroup needs to be a homerun. Relationships need to be built up and walls torn down. Everytime i teach, i expect my students to go home with a fresh perspective or a paradigm shift in his life. Everytime i mentor someone, i expect there to a life change and refreshment as well.

You know everytime i blog, i expect lives to be touched. I don't blog for fun. I don't blog with the attitude of, if it touches someone good, if it does not, then i'm just voicing out about my life. No.. I expect each and every one of my blog post to be able to speak into someone. Something in someone will be twitched as a result of this post. It is not that i am good or anything, its about expecting God to move, and expecting the best i can hope for always.

What if God does not move as expected? The fact that God does not move mightily does not mean that we lessen our expectant heart. It just means that we need to work harder. It just means that we need to expect even more. It just means that God can use the next gathering to move powerfully. This is the Acts community isn't it?'
