I recently agreed to take on the role of assistant leader in my cell group.The ex leader stepped down and the ex ex leader retake the leader position, and the previously appointed assistant leader left the cell group so ex ex leader, which is the present leader was looking for someone to take over. Labels: spiritual
The last time round when he asked if i would consider taking up the position when he also asked the guy, who would become the assistant leader later on. To tell the truth, there was something in me prompting me to take up the position back then but i didn't act on it bcos i don't know, there were clear reasons, just that i was too busy with my own stuffs, and i felt low about myself and how could i lead the pple etc, so i didn't reply.
This time, i agreed bcos the promptings are still there. And i gez if i don't take it up, then it's not really wat God wants. It's not for my own personal glory, or achievements. Im not a leader person. Im not a gd leader. But i know one thing. God can use me and through me to lead the cell group, the way He wants the group to be.
I have a few things in my mind about what i would like to do, when i assume the position. Im saying this wrong. It's not what i would like to do, but what God has been telling me. Prompting me in that direction. I haven't sat down and properly pray about it yet.
I don't think being a leader of sort, is all glorious. In fact i think it's like being quite the contrary. A gd leader should know how to serve his brothers and sisters, that should the attitude. So yeah it's not all that.....nice.
I pray that God will use me to bring the cell group closer, and able to relate to each other about spiritual growth at a deeper level.I've also been assigned to take care of the girls in the grp while the leader takes care of the guys. Well gonna just have to seek God regarding the directions to take regarding how to 'take care' of them. Accountability mayb? It's something that is lacking alittle presently.
Anyway, our church wants all new leaders,assistant leaders to go for 2 leader training courses. That would b next wed, 7.30-9pm and sat 9am to 1.30pm. See? Not all that glorious man. 9 AM......who in the world wakes up that early on Saturdays anymore?
My cousin and i just went to an introductory talk by BSF at Ulu Pandan, Pine Grove. BSF is an international interdenominational organization that focuses on bible studies. They stress on discipline on doing QT and their bible study material are really in-depth. They are planning to start another class in the west, for around 150 pple, which is estimated to grow to 300. Still praying and looking for a place, a church to house them. They are so strict on commitment and discipline that if you keep missing the weekly classes, they may ask you to drop out, as places are quite limited, and pple who are really interested to learn can join. WHen i went for the introductory class in another church last year, i was thinking twice about joining, as it's high commitment. In the end, i decided i won't b able to handle it. This time, i would depend on the day of the class when they find the church to house them in the west. Im thinking of asking my church if they are able to house them.
