As I was shopping around Tecman today, I came across a keychain bearing my name, "Michelle". And it means Godliness, attached with verse 1timothy 4:8. Ain't sure what that exactly means, so decided to check this verse out...


1 Timothy 4:8(Amplified)

8For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come.


Remembering wot George mentioned last time. Don't just study 1 verse... expound on the preceding and verses that follows after as well...

So I read further... and I love wot I read...


1Timothy 4:9-16(Amplified)

9This saying is reliable and worthy of complete acceptance by everybody.

10With a view to this we toil and strive, [yes and] suffer reproach, because we have [fixed our] hope on the living God, Who is the Savior (Preserver, Maintainer, Deliverer) of all men, especially of those who believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to Him).

11Continue to command these things and to teach them.

12Let no one despise or think less of you because of your youth, but be an example (pattern) for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.

13Till I come, devote yourself to [public and private] reading, to exhortation (preaching and personal appeals), and to teaching and instilling doctrine.

14Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you [at your ordination].

15Practice and cultivate and meditate upon these duties; throw yourself wholly into them [as your ministry], so that your progress may be evident to everybody.

16Look well to yourself [to your own personality] and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

These verses are extremely timely for me!!! For the past few days, it has been "mistakes day" for me. Made alot of mistakes while serving in RSM and leading P n W during RSM outing last Sunday. Doubt myself; doubt my giftings. My heart was pricked by the corrections I got from my leaders and fellow beloveds and I thought... "of all people, why me?"

But I've come to know, the their hearts are for me... for my spiritual growth, that through my life , it shines forth Jesus's glory and my progress shall be evident to everybody around me.

And manx... I'm just so precious to be placed in a ministry where we are encouraged through our mistakes!

To those who r gonna be involved in the orientation, it's gonna be a great project to be involved in, get geared up for growth!!! Events are areas where ur hearts' capacity are gonna be enlarged, a time where u'll established EVEN more kingdom friendships with others. Beyond the CG!!! I treasure the fellowships I had during Woohoo last year and learnt alot from the rest! LOads of restoration of friendships! Share with one another the things u go through in the midst of this event, be it difficulties u faced while participating in the planning, or things u experienced in ur daily life.

It's not about the tasks that you have to complete... Daddy God doesn't give u things/roles for you to slog and struggle.... believe it or not, this event is also YOUR event. At the end of it... U'll be so thrilled as u reflect on ur progress!

BE EGGCITED FOR GREATER THINGS TO COME BELOVEDS!!!
