Ever since I visited CHC last week, I kept pondering if it is GOD's divination for me to make CHC my home church. In fact, months ago, I prayed (I admit not that religiously) but definitely with a sincere heart that GOD will find me a church that I will settled down. A place where I feel comfortable and able to grow spiritually of course.
Then....during the wee hours of Sun, I received an sms from my friend, Aka. He was the one who brought me to the church, and the only person I knew well enough. He told me he will not be going to the service as he has something on. Being a sleepyhead at that time, I just merely read the sms and went back to my dreams.
Morning came, I washed up and began to think. In the past, I will only attend service if my friend is going. This situation hit me again. Should I go or not go? Though I was in a dilemma initially yet a firm decision followed my uncertainty. During the last sermon by Pastor Kong, he mentioned about committed to church, committed to reading the Bible, committed to prayers and committed to GOD. It also dawned upon me that this is a personal relationship with GOD and I should not waver nor let my attendance be affected by someone else.
I went. And I am gald I did. For the service was awesome. Pastor asked the congregation to pray in tongues. For those who don't have this gift, Pastor said this is the time. We all layed our hands on our brothers and sisters, and everyone started speaking in tongue. You really can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit hovering around and among us. At a specific moment, my tongue seem to be out of control. I kept rolling my tongue and speaking in something that I don't understand and barely hear. No idea if I am really speaking in tongue but I do hope that in time to come, I will inherit this gift from the Holy Spirit and use it faithfully to praise and worship GOD.
