Commitment

Dear Ushers,

Recently I met up a group of people in usher ministry for a meeting. I share with them about:
Life of Excitement Vs Life of Commitment
Just thought of sharing with you.

First of all, it's always good for us to do self-evaluation.
Question: When was the last time you actually evaluate yourself in your walk with God?
So this post will make you do a self-evaluation in your walk with God.

Today, I'm going to share with you about a life of Excitement and a life of Commitment.
Are you living a life of Excitement or a life of commitment.

What I mean by this?
A life of excitement - You are someone who has short attention span. You go with what you feel is good, fun, exciting, entertaining, enjoyable.
A person who live a life of excitement it's like a person who just go with what he/she feels.
"oh..everyone of my friend is playing basketball. it's the "IN" thing now. I shall go master basketball. I want to get into school team. After few months, you get into school team already. Haiz.. it's getting boring. Everyday we are just shooting ball, can't we just play match. For the past 10 trainings, your coach got you do to the same training again. you are bored.
The next moment, your friend share with you about badminton. Oh, aiya..basketball is boring (you quit), i shall join badmintion now.
This is a life of excitement. Trust me, this person will quit badminton after a few months and join another sport. He/she has no direction in life. No vision.
Life of Excitement = No direction = No purpose = No vision.

My question to you: Usher ministry is happening now, there's chalet coming up, FOP duties, etc. you want to come for every usher duty. You give your best in Usher Ministry. You are on form. What if Usher Ministry is not as happening, will you still be serving? You are not on firm. Let's say it's your 500th usher duty.. will you still serve with the same attitude you have during your 1st usher duty?
A life of excitement won't, a life of commitment definitely will.
So are you serving in usher ministry now because you are living in a life of excitement or a life of commitment?

A life of commitment - You are someone who is committed! Committed to everything that you do. You are faithful and loyal to the things you are given. You are someone who won't give up easily. Never give up.
A person who live a life of commitment is someone who will always learn something new or be impacted in every thing he/she does. Example: Usher ministry, he/she will definitely learn something or be impacted after his/her duty. Why? The reason is because he/she comes in with a new expectation whenever he/she serves God. With a new expectation, you will learn as you expect something new.
[How to come in with a new expectation even if it's my 500th usher duty? The key is to tell yourself never be familar with the way things work. Never assume eveything is right. Never be familar with your chief usher or the system on how we work. when we are familar, we will come in with the same expectation because we assume we know how it's going to be like]

Are you living a life of Excitement or a life of commitment?
Live a life of commitment.
email me and share with me your own evaluation.

Oh.. that day I was talking to one of the ushers who shared with me how she felt after she learnt from this and evaluated herself.
She shared with me that this teaching is really helpful to her. It has help her to really commit herself to give God her 100% in everything she does and it change her to have more perserverance in whatever she do.

Hope this is helpful..
You will be blessed.
Love this!
