Weekly Prayer (13)

Dear my Lord,

Thanks so much my Lord. You are worthy of all praise! Lord, nothing is enough for me to sing priase and give glory to you as you are so wonderful, so loving, so miraculous, and so great. Oh Lord, you are the God Almighty. Your plan is great and I'm so excited about it. Thanks so much you let me be part of it. Thank you so very very much.

Lord, I thank you for the Cleansing Stream Retreat weekend. Never before I felt so complete in you, Lord. Yes by your truth and your Holy Spirit, I am cleansed and I can become whole in you again. Lord, it's just so wonderful. Yes the hurt or damage, the big hole from the past is now filled. And yes the other unholy bonding and those bits and pieces of me which were given to others in the past, now all back to me in You. Oh Lord, we can only be complete in you, thanks so much for that.

And it's so wonderful for this wonderful status to continue! I have never felt a better Monday before and yesterday was just great! Lord, you are here, with me, whole day. You bless my hands and everything goes on just well. Lord, you bless me and you have determined to do so. Not just bless me but to bless us all - as we submit to you and follow your teaching, your blessings can then be poured out abundantly to us all. As long as we keep on being obedient to you, Lord. Oh it's just so wonderful.

Lord, and I long for you. I long for staying in your presence. I long for a life like this - living in you every day and night, at work or at home or at church. Everything I do I do it for you, Lord. It's such a wonderful life to have. Lord, I long to live as in the image of Jesus Christ, to really walk and live in your light, to be completely (as much as I can with the help of Holy Spirit, anyway!) obedient, to love what you love and hate what you hate. To really live a life that let your light to shine in front of people! To live a life so bright and so different that people will give glory to you! Lord, because it's only in you that such life is possible, that the difference is possible. Because we have the true life in you, Lord. Let me live such a life.

Lord, and I thank you for I know what I am praying for is accordingly to your will, that you wanna bless me in this way, also! It may not be now but certainly Lord you're equiping me and training me and cleansing me and helping me to develop such character to be more like you dear Jesus. Slowly but surely, I am to live more like you Jesus. And not just with your character with the fruit of Holy Spirit, but also with the power that you are to anoint me as well. Lord, I long for you and I long for a life so close to you and to live out your will accordingly. It's just so wonderful Lord.

And I thank you for this book "God @ Work". Lord it's such a wonderful book and it's wonderful because it's You speaking to me thru it.

Lord, thanks for once again ensuring me my calling to work in the marketplace for you: as in the e.g. in the book that the writer was called by you to be a pastor since he was small. I felt the same way for myself - Lord I always know that I'll work in a big company like this: not really a "front line" person, not really in non-profit organization, not to run my own biz. But really in the commercial world as a manager, but as YOUR worker.

Lord, and thanks so much for opening up a new ground, a new level to me for what it means for me to work for you in the marketplace. Lord, it's not just seeing my day to day work as my work for you. We are not just there to earn money and supply to church or to other charity organizations. It's not just seeing my career as service to you. It's also more than just sharing my testimony with people close to me or doing your work from a personal level. It's more than that, Lord, it's much, much more than that.

Lord, you'll anoint me and give me power to be the king of this world, using the same phase from the book. Lord, for you we will raise up as kings, as YOUR appointed kings for this world. Lord, you will anoint us to do all sorts of work - even marketing or programing or designing or financing. Lord, here, in the marketplace, at our position, we can do things and we are called to do things for you, here! We are to be successful and be influrential so as to transform a city, a country, and the world for you! Lord, you give us power so we can really bring your kingdom to this world - to fight poverty, inequality, unrighteousness. To help people in need, to give, rather than to take.

Lord, thank you so much. I was so excited when I was reading the teaching from the book last night and this morning. Lord, for indeed you have great plan for this world, for the marketplace, for Chinese, for HK, for us all - and it has already started! And we are already in the midst of it! Hallelujah!

Lord, I also keep on thinking about SIC and Pastor Mok when I was reading this book. Lord, how the church can equip and support and send out all these servants you've prepared for this great thing to take place in the marketplace in the society? What's the role of SIC to be played in the midst of all this? It's obvious that Lord you've already put this vision in Pastor Mok's heart - but what's next? what about the whole church - all other brothers sisters? Do they feel the same calling from you Lord so we can all serve you full time, whole heartedly, altogether, starting from our workplace? Lord, please reveal your will and prepare our hearts accordingly. So we will response to you obediently.

Lord, and thank you for the teaching your Holy Spirit revealed to me this morning: how I need to learn from King David and learn to be obedient, not to be proud, to respect the authority as you've assigned to men on earth. Lord, you've also taught me the importance and the power of the first fruit. Lord, please reveal to me what should be considered as my "first fruit" so I can separate it from the rest and dedicate it to you as holy sacrifice. Lord, and let me always remember how powerful our words are and let me always make great use of blessings and bless many, including our competitors.

Lord, I am so excited, once again. I can feel it in my spirity, Lord! Lots of wonderful things will happen, Lord. Please continue to prepare us so we can be ready for your use when it's time.

Lord, to your name I praise. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
