Just back from FOP and supper with the Gellies who were there... FOP which stands for Festival Of Praise is an annual event held around 1st weekend of August... and this year's invited worshipper was Bob Fitts...Work ended late..and so took a cab to indoor stadium, costing me $12.80 WAH... but well was all worth it... cos I had a great time hearing God's word there.... Speaker was Mark Conner, the same speaker as last year..and I totally enjoyed his sharing...cos it was straight to the point and very impactful..
This evening, he spoke about WOrries.. where worrying is like a prison and it causes one to go into a downward spiral, cos it takes away our joy and it gets us to focus on ourselves and become self-centered..
Instead of worrying, we as God's children are to reach out to others and be a blessing to people so as to advance God's Kingdom..but worrying always hinders our growth.. thus we need to STOP worrying... and to STOP worrying... he shared:
S=Specify the worries (know what we are worrying about)
T=Take action on our worries (do something about it, instead of just thinking and dwell on it)
O=Offer up a prayer to God (recognise that we cant do everything ourselves)
P=Placing our trust in God (acknowledging God in our lives)
and it is a message relevant to everyone today...cos it is human's nature to always worry... whether its to worry about things we can control or things outta our control.. something that I really felt relevant to me..cos i sometimes worry too much.. Thus I will apply the STOP to myself..
