Perceptions

Times have changed... Last time when i used to go back to my pri sch to find my ex-teachers, I will always look at the students who were still in sch... Nowadays, ppl are getting more and more bold, more confident of themselves and some to the extent of being ya-ya...

It is really not easy to teach nowadays... Ppl take teachers for granted... Parents have spoilt their children by providing for their little ones so much... Those who still take education as a privilege are way too few... Many see it as a necessity. And teachers are supposed to make it easier to digest, good timing and venue...

Recently, I try to make it a point to give BS every week cos I cant commit to going for wed BS for now... At least til I finish the peak cos I dun want to keep missing lessons... Yep... So I try to give cos I wanna be part of the bible study programme...

So it has not been easy trying to arrange for a BS... The ppl dun come n ask me for it, I have to be the one asking u want BS this week. Week after week, I'm finding one of the BS receiver to arrange for the 4 of them... Where is the hunger?! And nowadays I have to give one lesson at least twice cos it seems so impossible to get 4guys together at any one time. In fact, this coming lesson is the 6th n there is not once that the 4 ppl have come together for lesson!!!

Last time when i was the one receiving the BS, the BS teacher set the time n place n we're supposed to just turn up. Ready for BS, read the notes thru n start thinking abt questions to ask relating to the BS lesson. Now, the students come late for lesson, unapologetic, like u're the one who wants to give me. U shld be thankful that I can come for the lesson despite my busy schedule...

I look at them n I look at myself... Are they very busy? Yes... But am I not? I feel like an unemployed person, just waiting to give BS to ppl who dun really want it but since i wanna give, then they just come... HELLO!!! I work late into the nite on weekdays so that my weekends are more freed up n can give BS la. So that u ppl can be trained in the word, be better equipped to disciple others, have an understanding of why things are done and done in a certain way...

Similarly for svc n cgm... In the end times, when persecutions start... I wonder if u'll still be ard... Your faith in God... Will it be strong enough to hold u planted firmly...

At the end of the day, it just boils down to ur relationship with God. Your level of hunger for Him. How much you desire Him and to know Him. How can u call yourself a Christian if you arent even putting Him 1st in your life? Not praying, not reading the bible, not evangelising, not interceding... What makes u different from a non-believer???? How do u see ur BS teacher, ur CGL, ur ZS, ur Pst... Do you love them? Do you cherish them? Do you thank them (with all sincerity)? Do you appreciate them? Do you pray for them? Do you even care abt them? Keep in touch with them during the week? Or are u just too busy for all these ppl? Are u too busy to even spend some time with ur Creator? Your perceptions will shape ur destiny... U better start thinking n do some correcting... Before it's too late... ... ...
