Look what He has done!
Exodus 9:16
"But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the Earth."
That has been a verse that has been ringing in my thoughts after an awesome message by my senior Pastor yesterday and has been the "drive" for me to press on even amidst challenges.
By the end of last saturday, I was left with around RM20 in my wallet. As much as I wanted to withdraw some money from the ATM machine, I couldn't as the amount of money I have left in the account wasn't even enough for me to make a withdrawal.
That night I got a call from my mum saying that she would be banking in the money only on monday. Which was a sign of relief for me. Not so bad, just two days of fasting and that should be it. Things couldn't possible get any worse. That's what I thought. lol.
By the end of Sunday, my petrol was left with a single bar. And my money? Hmm.. down to RM10 left? Haha.
On monday morning, I quickly went to the ATM machine to check if the transfer has already been established but to my disappointment, it's still the same amount!
I left for a music rehearsal at USJ 1. It was lunchtime and I was invited to have lunch with my friends but I refused because I don't have much cash left on me. But before I even leave the place to College, my friend so happen to come into the car for no reason and sit down. And there's when he saw my petrol level and just offered me a RM50 note without even me having to ask for it! Amazed I was.
At about 3pm that same day, I realized I forgot my toolbox of kitchen utensils at home which I need for a class later in the evening. Drove back home to get it. Petrol was still enough to get back to College and come back home after classes are done.
Just when classes are about to end, I had this prompting in my heart to send a classmate back to Ridzuan despite the amount of petrol I had left. She walks to College and the class usually ends at 9pm and walking at that hour is a no no. And so I did, and not only did I have to make a stop at Ridzuan, I also had to send a friend who stays all the way at USJ 18 back home. Then and only after then did I make my way back to Desa Petaling. =P
Just when I was about to reach home, the petrol indicator went on. Bad sign. Even prayed and declared for the petrol to multiply so that the light would turn off and the bar will go up! =P
Then I started thinking whether or not to go to College if by tomorrow morning I STILL can't withdraw any money from the ATM. Was also planning to call up my mum and ask her about it, but I think to myself "hey you know what, I want this to be a testimony, and I know He will provide, and I'm just gonna believe and go along with that".
Prayed that night and started to declare for those finances will come through. And it came to me that the same power, that conquered the grave, that made the universe, that made the gold of this Earth, LIVES IN ME. So I started declaring it. If He can even rise up children for Abraham through stones so why not ringgits through leaves? LOL!
I remember Jade telling me that night that theres gonna be CampusREVO the next morning and that thought of whether I should go still lingers. "what if the car engine dies halfway?" "what if I'm left in college the whole day without any cash? not even for tolls?". But I made that choice to say "I AM gonna be there". My very own declaration of faith. =)
Woke up the next morning, head down to the petrol station just to find that the money still has not arrived yet. But I made a decision to head to College anyway, CampusREVO starting soon. I'm gonna live (and drive) there by faith. He will make it happen for me. Thought I was late, but I was early (pssst... one of the first ones there.. Jade Tan was late.. *ahem ahem* =P)
After classes, I checked the account again, and guess what?! I got 90x the amount I first had in there! Even more than I even anticipated for!
Lost for words? me too. ;)
Have a great week all you History Makers! =)
