CATALYST.

(Learned from Pastor Mark Tusoy’s message during Kids Teacher’s Summit- Febuary 2010)



CATALYST


A catalyst is a substance that can cause a change in the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed in the reaction (definition taken from YAHOO! EDUCATION ENCYCLOPEDIA). Basically, catalyst can be in a form of an enzyme or chemical depending on the rate of reaction you wanted to achieve. Moreover, it is on a state wherein its importance is on paramount to achieve a better reaction. Before certain reaction occurs, it undergoes several check points. The catalyst must be of good condition, it should me measured precisely, it should be used on the right chemical and perfect timing should be keenly observed hence, producing the desired aftermath.


Likewise, being a kids teacher or to any ministry we dwell in we have to have a catalyst. Someone who could influence others, somewhere in between together, a leader, change agent hence changes occurs from within. A change that is inevitable upon building an indispensable relationship. Like in every chemical reaction, a catalyst must know how to thrive a driving force of change in someone’s heart. The mere fact of being present can change somebody’s life, more so change of heart will be of the highest possibility to happen. Say, when a kid sees you do a simple task with high regards, somehow you are helping to develop that kid’s judgment about responsibility. An edict of being responsible regardless of the weight of the task assigned. You become a catalyst because you’ve made an impact even without doing any modification of yourself. It is as simple as influencing kids or someone within or outside your circle without changing more of you but more of them. Another instance is the words that come out from your mouth. If you speak a daily those of encouragement as if it is part of your system, you are helping that individual to boost his or her confidence all the more you are building a character out of the encouragement that you solely speak.


There are many ways on how you can act as a catalyst. It’s a matter of how you to a great extent grow with your walk with GOD because it is vital that you yourself are filled with God’s love and word. Hence without this you cannot be a good catalyst thus the fruits you will bear will be easily shed off. A good catalyst neither easily shaken nor falters to sin but has a well-founded relationship with the Lord. So, how is your relationship with God lately? Are you a catalyst by nature? I am pretty sure you are. Just continue to be a blessing indeed you will be blessed. 
