EFCMalaysia Conference Reflection 2

To continue my previous post on my reflection of EFCM conference, I would say that I did make some commitments as I walk to the front to the altar and also I have some kind of deeper understanding in my commitment to God for full time service.
I made a commitment to walk closely to him. He is calling us for intimate relationship. The apostle Paul says he did one thing that he might know him… (Phil. 3:10). In the Bible the word “know” usually means intimate relationship. The only one thing that God desires of us is to have an intimate relationship with Him, to know him more and more, to walk with him daily, to walk with him closely. The only one thing Paul did was to know him more and more, to have intimate relationship with Him. As I walk to the alter I meant to say that I will walk closely to him. And I also prayed “Lord! Help me to walk closely with you. Strengthen my legs….
As I walk with him daily, there may be something in me that God wants to transform, God wants to change. I prayed that “He might chop of my right hand” meaning my identity, security, strength etc. if it blocks my walk with him. As many of us walked to the alter some songs came into my mind “have thine own way Lord, have thy own way… make me and mold me humbly I pray” and “I surrender all, I surrender all”. Rev. Edmund Chan says when many Christians ask God to change they mean to empower their rights hands, their security, their identity. It is not surrendered prayer before God to change. So I totally surrendered to God for His change.
And also in one part of his message, he says that it is Jesus/ God who says “I will make you fishers of man”. On the top of my commitment to God as a fulltime worker (as a pastor), it is the commitment of God to make me fishers of man”. It is the promise of God to make me fishers of man. I find rest and confidence in the Lord that He will touch many lives through me with only one condition if I surrender all of my life, plans, all that I have and walk with him closely. My inner spiritual life will overflow to others. EFCMlaysia conference was really a blessed conference.
