I was just thinking, why would I even thought of that? So I started calculating the amount of blessings I've got after the building fund period.
Firstly, I've been really blessed during my birthday in the month of June!
Counting all the money and gifts altogether including my new MacBook Pro, I've had total of more than 17 times of the amount I've given for the building fund.
I remembered the other day I was talking with Hikaru about financial blessings and how much we had been tithing and giving to the building fund. We were also been pondering why are we always in financial difficulty? Why aren't we getting blessed back? Are we short changed?
Suddenly I thought, maybe the blessings are not in the form of money? Maybe it is not here yet? How much do we need to wait longer for it to come?
So I said, I'll just keep on giving. Yes, sometimes I do hold back but I regretted it.
But I am really glad that how much God had been doing for the past few months! After the week of morning prayer meetings I found myself being more encouraged and pumped up.
I've also learned that we have to take delight in everything that we do, find and seek joy in every circumstances. I am really really delighted and joyous how much had happened during these few months.
It is more than how much I've been blessed back, more than the wow-ness of financial and material blessings. It is about our own convictions and obedience, being obedient in tithing.
Ephesians 3:20(NKJV)
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us
Truly enough, it is exceedingly abundantly above all that I've asked or imagined and think. I've never expected for a 17 fold in return. It is 1700% in return!
I thank God for all the blessings and of course I thank all the friends and my family too!
