Empowerment to Positioning

Today was KDYA's first cell of the year.. It was a refreshing night as many cellies shared about how cell and 2008 has impacted their life and what position they see themselves taking up in 2009, be it in cell or church.. I had to hold back tears as we shared.. It's just amazing how God has drawn us closer together through just this 4 months since we've multiplied..

There were a family of 13 of us tonight.. Praise God for 2 new visitors and 2 more who joined us from LIITA..

2008 was the Year of Empowerment and indeed it was a year that God had empowered me in many different areas of my life.. I joined the YA cell in June 2006 and it was also the time I began to start anew in my walk with God and started to serve more in cell and church.. As I went for the Watchnight Service at the end of 2007 and when Ps. Vincent shared that 2008 would be a Year of Empowerment, I decided that it was time to let go and let God in every aspect of my life.. I'm glad I made that decision because I now have seen the favour and blessings that God has poured into my life by just taking that little step of faith... I have never been more satisfied in God and can't recall a time that I've been happier...

Cell has also played a huge part in the person I am today.. I've grown so much in the past year and a half because of dear friends who truly cared about my spiritual growth and genuinely just cared about me.. A dear friend of mine always says that "Cell's not just where we meet on Fridays, but instead cell is living life together"... That statement is so true.. Through my lowest and darkest times, I would call on my cellies to just have a shoulder to cry on or to be prayed for.. Through my happiest times, I would call on my cellies just to be able to share my joy with them and laugh together.. God has also blessed me with wonderful leaders who have lovingly mentored me.. I've learned so much from you.. Thank you for consistently checking up on me and praying along with me..

2009 is the Year of Positioning.. I believe that I was positioned to be in my current cell for a reason.. I'm excited to see the things that God has in store for this cell.. However, I have to be obedient in what He requires of me.. All of us need to.. Only then can His plan be fulfilled for this cell..
