A Letter To My Cell Group

Hey! This post really goes out to my beloved cell group because I know I won't have the opportunity to share this with y'all. However, if it is possible, you can share with one another and hopefully this will impact you.

Before I enlist, I just want to encourage all of you to really look forward to the upcoming three to five months. There will be a lot of changes, but I know that God has a great plan for every single one of you. There are 3 things I would like to share with you about how we can grow together even though there are many changes.

    1) Stand Together

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel (Philippians 1:27)

All of us come from different background and are brought up differently. which may cause differences within the cell group. As you can see from the verse, it said that WHATEVER HAPPENS, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ! This means WHATEVER differences you have with one another, just know that the Cell Group should be the gospel of Christ. I feel there's a relation between Paul (prison) and I (army). Whether or not I am able to go to CGM or church, I will hear that you are standing firm with one common purpose and that with only one desire you are fighting together for the faith of the gospel.

    2) Comfort Each Other

Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

In order to stand together, you need to comfort each other and edify one another. I know some of you already doing that, which is good! Keep it up! However, for those that does not have the habit; comfort each other not with sympathy but with empathy. Let every member that is going through a hard time know that N520/W537 are here for them and understand what they are feeling because you have experienced it yourself or can put yourself in their shoes. In addition, speak with edifying words. In Ephesians 4:29, Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

    3) Love Each Other

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

In order to stand together and comfort one another, we need to love people! Loving is a difficult thing. To be honest, I’m still learning how to love people! All of us are human and we make mistakes. However, this cell group is God’s family. Loving people does not come naturally, however, I believe that if we choose to make that decision to love one another, God will do the rest and move in a supernatural way. Love comes with a sacrifice which means we do not expect anything in return. Therefore, choose love.

To sum up everything, we need to choose love so that we can comfort each other with empathy and this will allow us to stand together for HIM. I love you N520/W537, you guys are my family and I will miss all of you. Text me if you need anything! I will be still here for this cell group just that I will reply slow! Let’s continue to be laborers for Him because REVIVAL is coming. Will keep on praying for you guys.
