after baptism

I'm finally baptized. After a long wait, after lots of prayers, after lots of waiting, after lots of bouncing around, I am finally BAPTIZED!!! Haha, Joy to the Lord.

Let's see, I got Baptized on 25th May 2007, a Friday. And Pentecost Sunday was the Sunday following that, haha...

Ok, let's see. The first task i got after being baptized is that i have to clean the toilet. The lesson in this is real simple for me, Humility. I went to work after i got baptized, and to my shock and horror and disgust, i found the toilet at my workplace, Basement 5, dirty... Something which i totally cannot stand. Someone poop-ed all over the squatting WC. And so, me being me, cleaned it up without thinking. What a start of my spiritual life huh, hehe... But thanks be to God, i felt much better after cleaning it up. A service rendered to the Lord.

Then the next thing I did was something I totally enjoyed. I BBQ-ed other peoples' sins. Whaha... How? With fire, literally, and with a BBQ pit. I went to the Encounter Weekend to help out, and instead of nailing the sin list to the cross, they wanted to burn the list. So I helped to set up the fire and help usher them to burn the list. One thing I made sure, was that everyone's list was burnt to ashes. I made sure that nothing, not one sin, is left. I felt that it was spiritual warfare in a sense. Making sure that none of the sins that the people is left, less it comes back. But that's just me la. you may think it's too exaggerated.

Next was to pray for the people at EW to receive the gift of tongues. That was totally the Holy Spirit at work, not me. Who am I to be able give other's this gift. Only the Holy Spirit who is in me is able to do so. And Brothers, indeed, the Lord uses us to release this gift to others.

So thanks be to God in all things.
