Last year I went to Indonesia and had the opportunity to serve at a Crusade with Pastor Philip Mantofa… Well I didn’t really do much serving, but got the opportunity to lead a song of worship in front of tens of thousands of people. That was a pretty awesome experience. Anyhow, I wrote to pastor phil and told him how honorered I felt to be hanging around such men of faith, and how inadequate I felt. He replied with a simple thank you note. The next day at the conference(in front of the whole church) he asked me if he could read the email out loud. I said, uhh… Sure. He then asked me to come on stage and pray for him. Well, actually he asked me to put my hand on top of his head and pray for him. It was really quite embarrassing, but he was trying to teach me lesson. He asked me, “Do you FEAR MAN????” After I prayed for him, he prayed for me and I got blasted. Pastor phil told everyone that he is merely a humble servant, but at the same time he’s a furious general.
We are created in the image of God. Once adopted we are now sons and daughters of the King.
There is no glory to God in low self-esteem, likewise there is no humility in a princess who dressess in rags.
Love = No Fear
