Understanding who we are in the spiritual realm
Today we had guitar ministry after guitar ministry. Bro James was sharing about the heart of the ministry during the prayer meeting and how the burden of the ministry and growth was upon the leadership within the ministry. He was sharing about knowing who we are in the spiritual realm when we're teaching the students. He was sharing with us that it is one thing about being a teacher in the natural realm but in the spiritual realm, there is an anointing that was given by God over our lives as guitar teachers.
Understanding this principle really blew my mind as i began to understand that this anointing makes us different from teachers in the world. This anointing makes our words (eventhough they are simple words) to be so much more powerful and effective than teaching basing on our head knowledge and flesh. The latter is being carnal minded. Prayer then becomes a very important thing in our lives! For example going into a class with a low spirit, there's so little to give to the students and eventually end up having a class that is not so effective compared to that which is taught by a teacher whose spirit is up and high!
Jesus was saying in Luke 16:12 " And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own". Bro James was also sharing about how guitar ministry came about which started with just a spark of initiative that is submitted to God's call. Alot of thoughts came to my mind as he shared and i began to see so many areas in my life that i need to be more faithful in..
We ended with a great time of worship and prayer and the presence of God ministered to everyone in the room. It was a great time spent in the room. Thank God i stayed through. What was received was so valuable and it became a boost in my spirit man and my very life! Looking forward to sow into the next harvest with this new vision and mindset! :)

Art of Teaching
After a long day in school, got a few sms along the way saying that a few of my students can't make it for guitar class tonight. Was kinda disappointed to see only a few ppl turn up. But despite the fact, i still did my best to teach even though there are only 3 students.
Didn't feel that i taught very well today. For some reason, was kinda nervous. Maybe because got new student (Xiaojia). :) Must learn to overcome. There are so many things i have to learn to overcome. So much to do yet so little time. Really pray that God will expand my capacity and territory.
Also got news from my friend saying that her grandma passed away yesterday.. Was sharing with Raymond that there had been many funerals around me recently. This shows me that life is so fragile. They may be gone anytime! So no time to lose! Gotta win all of my friends and loved ones to Christ before it's too late!
Opening Our Spiritual Eyes
by Os Hillman
And Elisha prayed, ''O Lord, open his eyes so he may see.'' Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. ~ 2 Kings 6:17
Elisha was counseling the nation of Israel against the impending attack of the king of Aram. The Lord supernaturally gave Elisha the plans that the king was implementing, and in turn, Elisha warned Israel of each intended attack. The king could not understand why his plans were continually foiled. It seemed there was a secret informer in his midst. He was furious when he was told it was the God of Israel who was to blame for this inside information. The king decided the only way to resolve the situation was to get rid of the problem - kill Elisha.
The king's forces arrived and surrounded Elisha and his servant. Elisha's servant became upset and fearful when Elisha was not upset. Elisha immediately prayed that his servant's eyes might be opened to see that there was no need to be afraid, because the angels were protecting them.
And Elisha prayed, "O Lord, open his eyes so he may see." Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, "Strike these people with blindness." So He struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked (2 Kings 6:17-18).
Who is the Elisha in your life? Do you have a mentor friend who can see the activity of God in your life when you cannot see it? We all need to have somebody we can trust to help us see the activity of God. It is often difficult for us to see what God is really doing because we are so consumed by the circumstances of the moment. Ask God today to help open your spiritual eyes that you might see Him in your circumstances.
