My youth group's vision.

This is the vision which is the calling of my church chinese youth group.

Ezekiel 37:10-So I prophesied as he commanded me,and breath entered them;they came to life and stood up on their feet-a vast army.

Translation:
以西结 37；10 - 于是我遵命说预言，气息就进入骸骨里面，骸骨就活过来；并且站起，成了一支极大的军队。

For those who want to know about the details ,let me explain to you about this vision.It is an analogy to us-we come to this youth group and grow spiritually so we can work together like a vast army to preach the word of God and stand out for Him.

My youth group friends,let us not forget this vision that our pastor who once served our youth group wholeheartedly caught and told us.I advice you my friends.....to embrace this vision as a purpose of your life!
This is a calling and we must receive our duty with a heart of willingness as said in 1 Peter-Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care,serving as overseers- not because you must,but because you are willing.

I wanna share with you guys what have I learned from Re:Union, a conference I recently participated.

Vision=Values X Volunteers

Pastor told us this vision and we have revealtion.Wow! You guys must be excited, pray to God to be on fire....YOU ARE THE HISTORY MAKER.You could be a evangelist a Malaysian Billy Graham because you could lead many,many people to Christ.That is so awesome because God wants to use you!Hallelluyah!So that's the starting of your calling and this stage is so easy because God gives the vision.

The next criteria you need to fulfill the purpose of life is to have a set of values.Now this is tough because many of us think that we are too small to carry out something big!Many of us give excuses like I'm ineleqouent,I'm scared or I'm nothing.I'm also facing these problems but remember that when you're down to nothing,God is up to something!So, seek God to have these good values.

There's one thing that you have to be aware of....that is be disciplined.Sometimes,it is not the devil's fault that you are undisciplined.The devil does not make your blanket extra cosy and put you into temptation to sleep more.One value of discipline is obedience So ........ we have to learn to stop giving excuses when your spiritual father asks you to arrange the chair ,stop giving that sour-face when you need to pray for the group....Now that's though.It's very though for me too!! So let's remember Mary's advice....John 2:5-His mother said to the servants "Do whatever he tells you."This is how the servants can see miracles performed by Jesus.

The hardest element to carry out God's will for us is volunteerism because we may be reluctant to step out of the comfort zone.God flared up His anger to Moses because He asked God to choose another man.Let us be aware.............God did not flared up His anger to Moses when he said he's ineleqouent but He burned His anger when Moses said to God to send someone else.This shows that God knows we are weak but with God,we can even move the mountains.So,we gotta have faith,because faith sees the invisible,believes the incredible and receives the impossible.But we must say to God that we are willing to carry out His will and say I'm ready.Because YOU ARE THE ONE.
