Richard Ooi & Ong Boo SengBMEW has been truly a challenging weekend for me. Why challenging? Over the course of 36 hours or so, I am confronted with my sins and bondages which I have not been successful in dealing with, my weaknesses and what my redemption means. Heavy issues, I must say.
I have often struggled with sin and bondages in my life. It is tiring. When asked to lay down my sins before Jesus, I felt ashamed that someone else had to deal with my problem and someone else had to die because of me. However, the parable of the lost son gave me much hope. The vastness and depth of God's love for me is truly encouraging and something which I am only beginning to understand. I realised that the imperfect me will never be able to deal with my sins myself.
By laying down my sins and making a commitment to walk away from it taught me a lot about redemption and it also took away my burden of dealing with my sins myself. I have made a commitment to God that weekend to walk obediently and faithfully with Him. I also realised how easy it is for me to slip back into my old life and how important it is to be on guard. I also realised that my new life will be much more challenging than my old life and surprisingly I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to make my life more impactful on others and be an inspiration for others to believe for I truly want God to say to me "Well done" when I eventually meet Him.
Prior to attending the Encounter weekend, I had some reservations about the weekend. However, I had also had a feeling that if I do encounter God over the weekend, I will experience a breakthrough in my spiritual life. Not only did that happen, but I also gained more insights and understanding of God, His Word and how to live in accordance with His Word. Although none of my cell group members attended except for one, I had a wonderful experience sharing with people other than my cell group members and I have to say that my experience in cell did go a long way in preparing me to share transparently and to pray together. I am also thankful that I found a friend in my praying partner.
I would strongly encourage all those who have yet to attend BMEW to attend. It is an unforgettable experience and it is like taking a first step in knowing God.
This is my testimony.
