On Friday night, Rev. Dr Bernard Blessing conducted a healing service. I came, expecting to hear a great message. But throughout the whole night, he just encouraged us all to worship God through song and to continuously pray, while he delivered healing to members of the congregation.
In the Saturday service, he preached an amazing message from Psalms 37:1-7
1 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
He gave us 7 pointers on how to live our lives:
- Do not fear
- No envy
- Trust in the Lord
- Do good
- Enjoy the Lord
- Commit all your ways to God
- Rest in the Lord
Rev Dr Bernard Blessing shared a funny story where he was queuing up to buy bread, and he heard God telling him to give up his space and go to the back of the queue. When he turned behind him, the man's sour face made him not want to give up his space. The man behind that man made Dr Blessing even more reluctant at moving behind. But, in the end, he obeyed God and moved to the end of the queue. Someone announced later that the bread had sold out! And he was still at the queue. After that, a van showed up behind Dr Blessing, carrying supplies of bread, and the seller announced that as there were so many people at the queue, they would sell the bread to the people at the back of the queue first. Hallelujah!
And that is how we should always trust in the Lord. Haha.
