While was writing this, i was preparing an event of Musical Celebration Kuching 2011. I email few friends regarding this event and most of them give a good feedback and really support toward this event. and in the morning too, i was shocked by the news from one place we intend to rent, can't cater our needs and application. But, i told myself i know i'm doing this for the kingdom of God, in our generation. Why should worry. When God is please with our plan, and when God is with us there nothing to worry about the event location.
i heard before this, there are few people don't really agree the event like this. Well, there is nothing for them to think such ways and disagree of this event when they don't really know the motive behind it and they didn't probably see the benefit and product out of this event.
As i continue my reading today from 2 Cor 10, that is what happen to Paul too. People reject his work and people don't see the benefit of his work. And during that time, i believe many church didn't agree with Paul and even some of the apostle also didn't agree and argue with Paul.
2 Co 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ (ESV)
We read this verse that, Paul purpose of ministry is to take every thought captive to obey Christ! Whatever it take, whether Paul need to destroy argumenst and every lofty opinion raised from Christian those day which is againts the knowledge of God; Paul just proceed! What Paul concern about is, to bring Jesus to them and to guide them to not pride or boasting on their own. (read verse 5, 16 and 17).
Musical Celebration we planned here is an event that making our generation a different from other generation. Musical Celebration is a night or event to acknowledge our generation in music and dance interest. Its a time to raise a generation who writing song for God, who make own music for God, who express their gratitude to God in own choreographed and most of all.. to bring Glory to God through this Celebration or event for God.
Many had against this competition of music and dance, but i believe if our motive and our objective is right before God, i don't think it is wrong. People say there is many ways to do this or making the different, but i believe this is one of it. I have faith on this event and i have faith that God will use this event to raise up Generation who making new music and tune for Him!
This is my pray, that God will use us through this event to bless our youth generation through music and through dance. For God, there is no limitation for God to work tremendously or amazingly in our generation. This will be a way for God to shake our generation for Him.
I know Paul wrote this to us all too, 2 Co 10:7 Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we (ESV). When we taught ourself in right infront of God, we can simply say other's life. The other's too.
God may use you in different way to bless nation or generations, but God may use us or the others in different ways to bless nations and generations too. I like one of Delirious song, History Maker.. The lyric mention about, I'm gonna be a history maker in this land, I'm gonna be a speaker of truth to all mankind. Let's become a history maker of our generation in our special way and gifted way. If we are gifted in music, let's use it. If we gifted in dance, let's use it. If we are gifted in writing songs, let's also use it!
Be a history maker in our land and our mankind. 2 Co 10:17 "The person who boasts must boast in the Lord." (ISV)
