Reversing the Domino Effect with Love and Trust
The 17th Leadership Institute Graduation Ceremony held last Saturday and Sunday was full of God’s presence. In the four court exams, I saw that the graduates were serving with their Beings. Every part, from testimony, power ministry to 10-minute preaching, was lively. During the teacher appreciation party on Sunday night, I was nicely surprised as I saw the creative works of students from their Being and heard their heartfelt thanksgiving and testimonies. It was filled with the breath of the Tree of Life.
Most unexpectedly, at the end of the meeting, C-Mo noticed that everyone was holding a gift box of macarons in the shape of a domino. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, she asked everyone to put the box on stage. Over a hundred dominoes were lined up, ready to demonstrate the domino effect. When C-Mo pushed down the first box, all boxes fell one by one, how astounding!
What did that signify? In the Garden of Eden, God gave His love, “Apple”. Out of doubt and unbelief, Adam and Even interpreted it as “Banana”. And it has been passed on through generations, causing many marital and family problems. Even worse, the following generations perceive it as “Marble”, resulting in hostility against God. Such is the domino effect brought by sin!
Led by God, C-Mo and I have decided to have more direct communication and interaction with young people. We worship with them, passing “Apple” to them directly and releasing the breath of the Tree of Life. We are happy that some young people have indeed received our “Apple”. They even share with their parents and have successfully turned their parents’ “Banana” back to “Apple”. How wonderful it is!
God delights to restore us, the twisted and fallen men one by one. He reverses the domino effect, bringing us victory! The keys to the turnaround are love and trust. Love and trust bring us back to the way of Tree of Life, the Garden of Eden and God’s love.
Dear graduates and brothers and sisters, may you also receive God’s love and our love – we receive “Apple” and we pass on “Apple”. Together let us live out love and reverse the domino effect so that we may experience a formidable turnaround victory!■【2021.12.05】
