Predestination

I believe that in God's Kingdom, everything will happen according to His plan.

Years ago, He impressed upon my heart the two Greatest Commandment: Love God, and Love People. Today, I see that He had prepared me on the first two purposes outlined by Purpose Driven Life (PDL) program in my current "home" church.

In 1998, God revealed the meaning of true worship to me: that worship is "everything I do, everything I say, everything I think, everything I am". Today, He has again reminded me of that truth through the PDL program.

That same year, God also taught me the importance of doing good works to prove my faith in Him. Today, He used the PDL program as a reminder of this fundamental truth.

In 2002, when I was thirty (the same age when Jesus started his ministry), I received an impression that, no matter what happens, I will survive the next three years. No accident or incident will take my life away, for like Jesus, "my time had not yet come". Today, I testify that He's true.

That same year (2002), I also received the impression that in three years' time (2005), I would experience death like Jesus, for he died when he was thirty three years old. Today, my testimony reveals that I had experienced a few deaths in 2005 (when I was thirty three): my ministry (after seven years with a Christian organization), my relationship (of seven years), and my leaving (my home, my parents, my home-town, and my home church where I lived and served God almost my whole life).

God has prepared me, and is preparing me for something. Whatever that is, He knows best. I'm grateful that He has chosen me and predestined me to fulfill His specially designed purpose. I am indeed very privileged to be of use to Him, and to be called a partner of God Most High. To God be all glory. Amen!
