Thank God for today, as I was seeking Him, how the debriefing should be done.
He asked me to read the Word, but before I seek Him and asked for a better way to become a better team leader, a better family member.
Seeking Him, is always the way seems to be right all the time, to improve ourselves and the relationship with Him.
Yet, this required very much of one's initiative.
What are the requirement for us to seek Him? As long as you are saved.
But when it comes to be a better team player, hardly anyone knows the rules, because everyone knows how to be a team player, but a better and even better one that always stick out helping hands, need to have something within themselves.
Is it possible for team players to become better?
Certainly, however they need to have self initiative, like how they seek the Lord.
"But why is it so necessary?" I asked Our Father in Heaven.
He showed me what am I thinking and reflections about what some of them has done during the meetings and the plannings of the event. I was actually finding all sort of reasons and the loopholes with their reasons provided, to eradicate their reasonings why they did not placed their priorities in this event. Well, I may seems to be empty on the spot and slow, I always thank God for the times where I meet Him privately, as Holy Spirit revealed the things to me. (:
Praise God.
Last thoughts came, when 12:30pm were coming. As a main organiser, do I have faults? Well, I do and I have a lot.
"So, who am I to say the others?", Holy Spirit asked me. He led me to back to my secondary school days, where my secondary 2 form teacher done it before she starts her lesson. A simple Icebreaker, that requires someone else to write about one's good/bad points. Everyone get to write one, and pass to someone next to him/her after finished.
She was new that time. Yup that is Cheryl Tan, and now guess she is Cheryl Goh, which is another story. (:
That was the point where I know, which areas of my life can change. Thank God for that game.(:
Well, that game, can be quite cruel, because of the facts that is so real, cold and hard. And the Lord, gave me these few verses.
3 "Prepare your shields, both large and small,
and march out for battle!
4 Harness the horses,
mount the steeds!
Take your positions
with helmets on!
Polish your spears,
put on your armor!
5 What do I see?
They are terrified,
they are retreating,
their warriors are defeated.
They flee in haste
without looking back,
and there is terror on every side,"
declares the LORD.
6 "The swift cannot flee
nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates
they stumble and fall.
Jeremiah 46:1 to 6.
How much does these verses say?
Nothing much - Just press in. Like a warrior of Light, eradicating the evil armies, till they nowhere found on the land, or at least they have at least withdrew themselves about 300 steps. It's like pursuing the army, till they are faraway from us, fear from us.
Some of us are trying to change our characteristics, some maybe still at the same point, while some still do not know where to start. But no matter where we are, the Lord affirmed us, that we are going to win soon. (:
The Lord told me, "affirm them, and lead them into this."
It also applied the same, as we are going to next year, press in and pursue our enemies till the ends of the world, erasing their existence.
It is okay without a common interest but it is not okay, without building a common interest, which most of the responsibilities lies on the team leader, and some on the members.
A good team player need to have guidelines and criterias to hang on to, obey to, and have to be taught how to be one too. Responsibility lies onto the one who give instruction - Team leader. What makes a powerful team player is self initiative - that speak the very same heart, way and attitude in seeking the Lord.
Thank God for everything. (:
