My Reflection for Tribe Camp 2007

1. What is God saying to me?

Answer:
God wants me to cast all my worries and cares unto Him for His Yoke is Light. Through out this whole camp, God thought me the need to hunger for Him for those who are hungry or thirsty will be filled. God thought me the importance and power of family unity and how it can overcome all the problems that we may face during the camp. I came to the camp only on the 2^nd day. God was gracious as during the altar call after the session, He gave me a vision through Say Pin. He said that I was a cup with many holes and I struggle to fill up these holes by doing good deeds or even by going to church etc. but to no avail. God then said that His holy hands shall cover up these holes and my cup will overflow. This portrayed God’s perfect love for me through such a clear and distinct vision He gave to me. That struck me hard as it was really my life at that point in time. I struggle to try to always fill my cup but will always feel that it is leaking. This is an affirmation from God to me. God also thought me through Pastor Seng Lee, the true meaning of being a Christian, that it is not just a name that people call us as but one that is distinctively different from those that who have not received God into their lives. One who would serve God alone and not only do it on Sundays but daily. I was also challenged by God to living a life of holiness, a life that would put Him first and to serve Him at anytime of my life. I cried because it was something very difficult to do. That means I have to give up a huge number of things and be uncomfortable so that I can glorify God with my life. God also taught me through this that Christian living is not a smooth sail but rather a bumpy one. I have to be uncomfortable so that I can discover things that I have never did so in my entire life. My conclusion is that God is showing me where I stand in my life now and how He wants me to live it, by being a warrior to bless others but before I can proceed, I have to arm myself first. I always think that I am ready but after what God has showed me, I know that I am not good at all. With my own strength I can only go this far but together with God’s strength; I can go MUCH MUCH FURTHER!

2. What am I going to do about it?

Answer:
I will obey God by first letting Him take the driver’s seat of my life. I find that I have been controlling too much of my own life instead of seeking God. Through this camp, God uncovered the veil that blinded me. I was so self-seeking and not put God in every situation of my life. Now, I am proud to say that my Father in Heaven has set me free! I am the type of person who needs to be convinced but now, I don’t have too be anymore because God affirmed me that He will cover the holes in my Cup and it shall overflow. This affirmed me strongly and I know that as long as I hunger for Him, I will be filled! Knowing the true meaning of being a Christian, I no longer have to boast to others that I am a Christian in a manner just to show off. I will repent for what I did in the past and I am able to do so as God has set me free! I will live a life according to God’s will so that I don’t have to boast like before but people around me will just be able to tell that I am a Christian because of the things I do which can portray God in me! I also want to practice what God has given me. That is the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. I find that I have been behind and far away from God. Through this camp God reminded me the importance & power of prayer. I will ask God for discernment and wisdom and to seek Him in everything I do. God blessed me with the gift of tongues. I am reminded that I MUST use this gift to bless others instead of keeping it and after a while, loose it. I WILL GO OUT WITH THE REKINDLED HEART THAT MY FATHER HAS GIVEN ME TO BLESS THOSE WHO NEED TO BE BLESSED!!!! This I shall do through the 5K Warrior Challenge. I will not stop and give up but I shall fight for the LORD!!!!!!!!!!

3. What is one good gift that you want to receive from God during this camp?
Answer:

I would like to receive God’s love & touch anew. I want to be rekindled in the spirit by Him. This God has done during the camp. During the Second morning after the session, during ministry time, God came and He surrounded me with the Holy Spirit (literally surrounded me). His presence was so strong that soon after that, I felt Him comforting me on my shoulders for a moment. I felt His touch on my shoulders and heart and soon after that; I began to weep as His love for me was uncountable and so strong! I also wanted God to convict me with a heart of compassion and give me a heart of a true warrior. By faith, we shall move with God’s power. MY FAMILY & I will claim VICTORY!!!!! AMEN?
