Lamb of God - Things Don't Happen By Accident!

Always give thanks to Jesus, the Lamb of God.

Wherever we are, whoever we meet, whatever happens to us, it is for our good. We might not realize it when it happened, but days, months or even years later, when we recall the incident, we would understand why it happened.

There is a purpose for all happening, it did not happen by accident. And all these are for the ultimate glory for His name, which is above all names.

I was never a leader, I enjoyed following people. I believed God wanted me to do more.

Back in the Navy days, when I was posted onboard ship, I was new to every tasks performed onboard. As times went by, I picked up the skill and knowledge, and praise the Lord, my officer-in-command was a nice person (at least to me), he started giving me more important roles.

When a Gun Captain had to be transferred to another ship, my Office-in-command promoted me to take over as the Gun Captain for that gun. Btw, a gun is a cannon, not those small had gun. And there were 5 of them onboard.

So I became one of the 5 Gun Captains, the problem was all my crews were higher rank than me. People including other Gun Captains went around complaining it was the biggest joke in the Navy history to have a Gun Captain lower rank than his crew.

I was not disturb but worked even harder. Slowly I won their respect.
And months later, I also became the duty watch leader.

Again, months later, the coxswain of the landing speed boat which I was the crew was transferred to another ship, naturally, the assistant coxswain was supposed to take over the role, but he refused to as he said that he was not confident in leading and running the team. The Office-in-command highlighted to the assistant coxswain that if he insist, he would promote me who was lower rank than him.

The assistant coxswain said it was ok to him as long as I was the one and nobody else to take over the post. I did not know he had so much respect for me. So, again, I was leading a team with members higher rank than me.

At my highest point, I was leading 5 different teams, I guess it certainly made a mark in the navy history.

Of course, all these incidents did not ring a bell to me when it happened.
But God used all these to shape me to who I am today.

Now, I am leading a business venture team today.

God is patient, He is willing to spend years to 'equip' his children for the duty which could be years later.

Although sometimes, still we refused to accept the role, but He is gentle and helps us alone.

I shall talk more about this business venture team in my later post which never cross my mind I would form one.

So, I can not say enough, always have faith in the Lamb of God, He would not put us in any situation without a GOOD purpose.

Well, we could ask Him the reason though we might not be sensitive to 'hear' His answer, but ......... Just Trust Him!
