COURAGEOUS TO OBEY

03 Aug COURAGEOUS TO OBEY

by Winnie Lim, Acts Subang 1030AM

When I was offered a job in Selangor, I was praying for a new church plant to root down. After being in Acts Semenyih for many years as a student, I was ready to start afresh as a young working adult.

I was excited at the prospect of different ministries and church plants that I could serve in. However, God spoke to me clearly to root down in Acts Semenyih and to serve in the campus ministry, which were my last options.

In short, I was afraid because after having left for good, it felt like many things have changed and I was no longer familiar with the community anymore.

But more than that, it was having to decline company dinners and overtime requests, due to church and work commitments clashing. I always questioned if one day my boss would be fed up with a Christian like me. Eventually God’s Word helped me to sail through the storm and make God-fearing decisions. The fact that I have rooted down in Acts Semenyih, am serving in the campus ministry and striving to be a Daniel in the marketplace is a testimony of a courageous spirit from God.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
