My first 2009 Worship and intercession night session

Hello to all

Happy OX year! Wishing you and your family a very Blessed week ahead!
Endless opportunities and possibilities...Let's toast to a great year ahead!!

I had just attended my first 2009 Worship and intercession night session on last Tuesday.Feeling pretty good about it...And l myself felt that it's was pretty good talk.
So l thought of sharing since Good stuff must always around ar...**Ha-Ha**

Our Paya Lebar Methodist Church Pastor Peter Koh said that the lady speaker (I can't remember the lady speaker' name but strangely l remember her speech..Scratched heads) will be speaking to us again come this Sunday sermon....
Her speech was indeed useful and she had shared with us how 'her niece who's nurse had received countless awards for her good service in her hospital. Despite of that, she was having a difficult time befriending and communicating with her doctor and another nurse. This had caused a strain in their working relationship for a period of two years.**Shudders**

To make matters worse, the whole hospital or most of the departments in that hospital knew about their strained working relationship and it was liked "tip-toeing in a field full of granites while working there". Even the CEO of that hospital had to pacify her niece (She was very out-spoken and vivacious lady who knew her rights well enough.) and asked her to bear with it and be more tolerant of the whole deal. The speaker also related to us how her niece finally managed to change her way of praying and hence her whole perspective changed too. The best part was that the doctor and the other nurse also begun to treat her better and things has also started to look so much brighter and better in her workplace, etc."

So l thought of sharing her stories with you.
In the meanwhile, frankly speaking,though it's **easier said than done**it's especially so of our human nature aka weaker mindset, I am and still is trying to put it to good practice though its can be a bit trying.....I might add
The lady speaker also used some excerpts from the Bible as appended below :

“Don’t repay evil with evil.
Don’t retaliate when people say unkind things about you.
Instead pay them back with blessing.
That is what God wants you to do, and he will bless you for it.”
For the scriptures say, ‘If you want a happy life and good days, keep your tongue from speaking evil, and keep your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Work hard at living in peace with others. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.’
1 Peter3:9-12

“May the Lord bless you and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you this favor and give you his peace.”
Num 6:24-26

Cheers and God Bless always,
