Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Changes is necessary for growth.

I like what Pst Tan Ye Peng taught today. Before his close of his message, he mentioned about a guy who want to change the world. But after trying for many years, he was already middle-aged, he then was to change is family. But still after trying for many years, he finally realised that if only he changed himself, his character and the things he does, he is able to then change his family and the world.

I have the above moral in one sentence, "To change the world today, one got to first change himself/herself."

Traditional thinking or methods are limiters of the pontential in ourselves. Growth will not take place when we don't want to change from traditional thinker or do-er, to a new mind-set thinker or do-er. To change involves facing the cold, hard truth, and that's what many do not want to deal with. Not easy to deal with, but the huge result will come after.

A new year means a new start, but what's the point if one does not change or face their faults of the entire year. Let's not be fools, who refuse the gentle hinting of the Holy Spirit; instead let's be wise and face change now.

Only when change occur, growth will follow suit.

Just like the seed, there is different phases of a growing seed to a growing plant. The seed likewise have to face the change in form, in order to experience growth in a different way. From a seed to a sprout, then to a young plant to a tree, Changes are in the process of growth for a seed.

Likewise if we can change, embrace it, we will be able to experience growth in a different way.

Let us face it together, you are not alone.

After yesterday's thanksgiving for the year 2007, besides me receiving the Most Evangelistic award, there is :
Samuel and Yuhan on the Transformation award,
Shirleen and Dhanuj on the Most Encouraging Award,
Jessica and Joel on the Proactive award, and
Yuxin and Bronson on the Attitude award.
Joshua on the Most Evangelistic award
Just want to congratulate all of the award recipients. Just want to say, the rest of the members who haven got any of the awards, I also have seen the things that you done for the cell in the whole year.

I really felt that even though we may receive all the awards given to us for the work that we have done, we have to continue to do better than ever. Cause all the things we done for in the year 2007 is for the Lord and it's also part of his lifestyle here on earth during his earthly ministry. Since being a Christian means to live out our life the same way Jesus did, we are to live our lives closely, according to the commandments in the Word.

Not an easy task as it may sounds to be, to be transform, to be all the time encouraging and being a good cheer, to be proactive and to lead as a leader, to have a good and positive attitude, and of course to evangelise whenever we can do so. All the above are just the major headings or titles of the things that we ought to do.

Although, the year 2007 has just come to an end, a close. But it signifies a beginning of which we ought to start it with a bang. The year 2008 will definitely be a greater year yet for many of us here. Don't be complacent, for our walk is not going to be a bed of roses. With the devil around to steal, kill and destroy, we pray and fast over the things, dreams and vision for the new year ahead.

A end of something always means the mark of a new beginning, so let's graciously forgive all our friend's err and offenses, and embrace them the way God would do so. Let's all begin this new year of 2008 with a bang. A good beginning will definitely have a great outcome for the end of this year.

Be a good cheer and let's all work hand in hand together as a family.

Hi guys, today is boxing day. A day after Christmas, the things that happen in the midst of joyous season sure have left a major impact on my life.

On Christmas eve, there was the TV premiere of the polar express, a rather nice movie. In it, there was this statement made, "Even if you don't see it, just believe." When Joanna made a comment on it, it struck my thoughts too. Same for our walk with God, I realised the importance of believing and to have faith, that God is always there for us. God gave us the assurance of that in His Word, that in all things and situations, He will be there for us.

Dreams and visions that God gave us, are the things that we need to see, to believe and to protect. It's never easy for us to do so, when the devil comes along and try all means to steal, kill, or destroy them. Sometimes, we start to become alittle unbelieving and untrusting to His assurance and His Written Word, after encountering it.

It is Now that we need stop allowing the devil to pollute our mind, and begin to build our trust on him. In this manner, we will be able withstand the attacks of the evil one, to be able to stand strong in it.

Lets build our faith and trust in the right areas of our lives and be more sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

P.S. To people who need a listneing ear, pls contact me, I will try my best to help you.

God love you and I love you too. Amen

So long since I found time to post something up here.

I felt the urge to post just a few minutes ago. This is not a complain or a depressing post. More like a post of rememberance

I just felt that people when it comes to a time to cool off or to take a breathe-er, there will always be a time of doubt or confusion. It's when the parties who is involved, becomes the most vulnerable to any form of attack from the devil. Time and time again, I see either others or myself in the situation as mentioned above. But not knowing how to handle it may be the most foolish or dangerous thing to do.

During this time frame of silence, many things will come to your mind. Example, "Why things are happening the way it is?" or "What did I do wrong?"..... so on and so forth. The who, what when, where, and how questions come into play. This is where I realised that the devil instills a space of doubt in your mind, influencing you to doubt more than ever.

I learned from the word of God that in all things, learn to lean and place all the circumstances with God. It may not be easy to do it than saying it. But thats how it's being done. His ways are higher than mine and that's a fact. I also realised that in all things seek him first, even though circumstances may not change, but there is an assurance that God will make a way for me.

If you feel like praying for me, Please feel free to pray over my finances and a clear direction of my life and things pertaining to it too.

Simply love the few worship songs by Hillsongs, 'Hosanna', 'Saviour King'.......
Just updated my crazy wishlist too.....

We are not perfect, but made perfect by His love

Mistakes are being committed everyday. Failure to say the right things at the right time, Gossipping, Procrastinating and many others, are just some of the many things we done wrong. It's how fast we react and did we repent over such err.

Daily, we unknowingly and knowingly committed many mistakes, thats is why the Word of God told us to examine ourselves daily. If the mistake is committed between you and God, then you got to be accountable to God. Seek for forgiveness from God. If the mistake is committed between you, God and the people, then you got to be accountable to God and the people. Seek for forgiveness from God and the people. If you want others to forgive you, you first be willing to change.

IF we are the ones whom people let us down, and others have apologise, forgive them than to nurse the hurt in our hearts. Sow the right seed in the right field. Seed of Hurt is the rotten seed that grow into factor that caused our hearts to harden and love will grow cold. The Word mention before that "the Love of many shall wax cold". In the bible, the inquity refers to the different rotten seed in the heart. But if we cast out all these, we are still able to have the good seed growing in us. Without the rotten seed, the Seed of love grows and blooms, and it will in turn affect the people around us to love others too... Love cover a multitude of sins

we make mistakes, but willingness to change changes everything..... so think about it.

As I was thinking through the things that posed to me in the situation I faced last night and these morning, I felt that God is good. Despite receiving the persecution from my parents, having the need to empty my account to pay my bills and many more, I seen many more great things that God gave to me. I received a msg over messenger by one of my friends that the money she initally lend to me, will be considered as a blessing and there is not need to return.

Many other things like the peace of God and Joy in my heart still remains in me. Even when my pockets are empty, I trust in him to provide me a way and rain down blessings unto my life. Changes will not appear in my circumstances, but solutions and resources will come in at the right time to provide for the work that is to be done.

3 more weeks, 24 days for exact count, it's really a test of faith. Sometimes, having no money to my name is tough, but through this God may be glorified. It takes faith to believe and trust that God will provide. But I chose to think otherwise. If God provides for the bird of the air, the cattle over a thousand hills, and the fishes in the seas, what more will not God provide for us. God used his own hands to make Man(adam), whereas the creatures of the air, land and seas, he call them into existance. God breathe into man, His breath of life. See the importance of man, and think now, will God provide for us the resources and finances to live out our lives according to his commandments?

What you sow is what you reap, money given in to God's kingdom will be given back in abundance. Likewise for time and many others.

Think about it, and weigh the importance.

p.s. I need a favour from all believers looking at this post. Pray for me, to have the tenancity and to have my capacity expanded to the fullest. And that I will rise up to a whole new level and be an encourager to others that face the same kind of problems.

All About Love

Admit it, not matter how strong looking you maybe, you need love. Love of family, friends, girlfriend/boyfriend, and ultimately God's unfailing love are all the possible sources of love that one can seeking from. But just running here and there to find love is not enough. Think about it this way, looking for love in the wrong places is what most of us did. Looking for love in all the wrong relationship, indulging in sinful sctivities to gain friendship are just some of the wrong areas.

If you want something to happen to you, then you have to do it onto others too. What you sow is what you reap. It works in the field, it works in our workplace, it will definitely work for the relationships and love we need. If you want someone to love you, you first got to be able to love them first. Love requires a lot of effort in doing the following things as stated in the verse below

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 : Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love may be invisible when not paying close attention to, but once it comes to sight. It's glory and power changed all the things around the parties involved. Understanding how God & Jesus loved us is important. That kind of life giving, sacrificial love, how great it is to us! Going through the pain of the whips, the thorn crown, nail on the cross and the mockery upon himself, I bet no one on this earth can withstand any part of it. We got to get under the presence of this Great Love.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Muttons in the Morning

2007-08-24T21:08:00.000+08:00

After listening to "Muttons in the Morning" by Justin and Vernon.

There was this particular quote that they mentioned, "If you want your marriage to be long lasting, just be who you are." I agree with this quote, because no matter what you do, you can't cover or hide who you are. When you get in a relationship, truthfulness and transparency of your life is needed to have a smooth and long-lasting relationship.

Imagine yourselves placed in a situation as mentioned below.
You faced your friends with a false front you build in protection of your "face" and pride. You begin to tell them things that you never done or have. But one fine day, you found out that you love someone within the group, and you also decided to bring him or her to your place. Sadly, all your defense of false front and lies have been destroyed. Not only you lose the love you really want and the friends too. Do you think that it is worth all the "protection"?

Truthfulness is the key to great bonding relationship. Transparency is how we should live our lives in front of others. We don't have to lie about anything that we are not. Likewise, we don't have to do "extra" works to get in the seat or position that we are already in. (Mentioned by Dr. Joyce Meyer) If we live a double life, not only we get tired, we also placed ourselves in a position that will bring us to our downfall.

If we want someone to fall for us or love us in the way we should, we should be ourselves. If they can love who we are during courtship, imagine the love and the relationship, it will take to greater heights in the years of marriage too.

Prayer works wonders.

We are to rely on God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in all things. In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus mentioned that his yoke is light and easy to carry. All these while, we had been carrying the heavy yoke of stress, unhappiness, hate or even grudges. But Jesus offered another option out of it, that is His yoke. Now that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, how should we go about looking and coming before him?

Many may ask how come one can get so far in the walk with God, yet they couldn't. Some may even ask why God is not answering their prayers. Some may even say they couldn't sense the presence of God at all. Those I mentioned above are some of the many questions posed to many of the rest of the cell or church members.

The whole things fall back to only one factor, prayer. Prayer is communicating with God. It's like talking to God, and most importantly, He answers back too. It's a two way conversation. If we talk/chat to a certain group of people for a few times, we make a new friend. To God, it's similar. Pray more and you have it, a close intimate relationship with God.

It take something out of us to pray. Each time we press into His presence, it requires us to pray out of our comfort zone. Only then we will be able to feel/sense Him.

we need to understand that we need to meet God in the holy of holiest. No space for compromising, Only there we are able to feel God in a very real way.

Changed me from within

I was amazed by the works of Rev. Mike Connell in the past. Last year, He came for some delieverance service. I went out to be delievered, I didn't felt anything. This year was different. I experienced the difference myself. I was delievered during the sunday ministry sessions.

Praise God And Glory be with His name

I See Better and Feel Better Now.

The previous post is a complaining post. Sometimes, I get over-whelmed by things that frequently happen, yet nothing had changed to the situation at all. Poking fun, joking around, crap talking or even acting like one who got overly fuming over minor problems, all of this are okay if the atmosphere or feeling is right.

I admit that I was down, but not angry, neither discouraged nor sad. I was in the mood that I know I can accept the fact all those things happened, but my mind/heart simply say no to accepting it.

But all these moody feelings was gone, after I blog and ask God for Strength and Wisdom. It's like a cloud so thick you can't see the sun. But God disperse them all, God didn't move it away. I thank God for the guidance, strength and wisdom.

Saturday was a wet day, I meant literally wet. It was raining for the entire morning and afternoon. Being in the fireworks team, the rain wasn't that helpful. Setting up took place soon after the rain stopped. But a firework show will be in vain, if the thick cloud didn't disperse. I prayed, Telling God to disperse the clouds for a wonderful show. To my astonishment, I saw the clouds truely dispersing before my eyes and it was just mintues after the prayer. Thanks God for answering that prayer. Amen.

My Complaints My Problems With People

Maybe it's just me. I just don't like people to come before me, put up a false front and hide plenty of things from me. I'm not a Kid anymore, neither am I blind. I can see the things happening around me. Many things in many occasions, I encountered it.

When talking in a conversation, people conveniently "pushed" me out of it. I'm cool with this happening to me, but not when I ask for information and everyone simply ignores the question.

If everyone is so out-spoken, then who are there to listen, who are there to be spoken to. The world will become very dull. Sometimes it takes a little time to understand this fact, but people sometimes deny the existence of this minor group of people.

Jokes are funny, but when it's mentioned in the expense of others, IT AIN'T THAT FUNNY ANYWAY! Fun that derives from the expense of others is always not good.

I had enough of complaining already.

God, Give me a extra boost of Strength and wisdom to be able to overcome and soar with you above the storms of my life. Your wings cover me and allowed me to have rest. I was in the valley of shadow of death, you can down and lifted me up. I was falling, protected me from the stones and the hard ground. I was down you brighten up my life. You filled my life with everlasting songs of love, peace and joy. I love you, Lord. Forever I will praise. I am so special in my ways, that you gave me the best of what you have. Christ came to the cross of calvary to deliever all from sins, sickness, and bondages. The war is over. Victory had been won. Glory be with Jesus. Amen

The End Of Time

By the title of this post, It seems a little too much to absorb. I agree in the beginning, but now I have a different perspective to this. Recently, I got interested of this particular book called . In ths book, the author have all her experiences published out.

I haven't got a chance to get the book, but I read the urgent messages on the web. One of it mentioned about seeing a Golden clock whose hour hand is pulled back from 12 to 11. It represented that this generation belong to the Last Hour that the Word of God mentioned. This not only reminded me of the urgency of reaching out to the lost and my family, but it struck a fear within me. That fear was the fear of the Lord too.

It mentioned regarding the crowns, the robes, and many others that God have them in placed for each of the believers. But all this had a difference for true believers and fake believers. Read the message for more of those. Like wise, I purpose from this day forth to do things that I rightful and acceptable before the face of our Living God.

2007-07-03T19:39:00.000+08:00

being an "excellent" christian

What do I mean by that? I refer to an individual or a group of christians, who take authority over the things assigned to him/her/them. These are the people who not only excel in the church, but in the areas of marketplace they are in. These people are really the ones who live out the word of God in Genesis 1:28 and Matthew 5:13-14.

It's not difficult to take authority over the things we do. Take authority in things like finances, work, health, relationships and many others. It's more of a decision made in our lives. Since our life is made up of many major and minor decisions, another decision like this doesn't really matter much.

Change in mindset, have a paradigm shift and rise up to another level to the things you do, you will realised things get done faster then before. With quality too.

A thought to think of before clicking out of this blog. Change now for the better.

The come back of a "lazy, procrastinating " blogger.

Its been a long while since I have blogged. I have much to say, but whenever I sat down and wanted to type out , I simply had no mood to do so. Things like punctuality, love, evangelising and many more, were some of those I had in mind.

After being at the NDP Preparations team, I had not much of time to spend with my friends. I couldn't go out as frequently as before. But one thing I realised, during this time frame, I manage to clear up most of my debts even though I still have a long way to go. Finances began to be easier on me, having more to clear up my debts. The GST Credits came in on the right day, as I could make use of it to pay up almost 7 people whom I got in debt with.

Money, an object which we could use of, is used to bring about a change in situations and enviroment. It can be use for postive changes. For example, Money can be used to buy people meals or things they couldn't afford, for a better living. it can also be used to bless the poor so that they could have a decent meal for the next meal. But Money with a little bit of complacency could land us in debts, by borrowing, and gambling. I was the victim of over-spenting and money lending. Each time I over spent, I told myself that I will not do it again. But I always did it. I ended borrowing money.

In the past, I didn't bother to do any plans to how I can pay my creditors money for the sum I owed. The amount snow-balled till close to 1000 odd dollars. I was frantic when I realised I owed that some of money. From the day I entered Army, I tried clearing alot of those bad debts in my name. Until date, I still have approximatly S$690 in debts. This was almost 1/3 the amount paid.

I have more to say, I am tired. Just some word of advice, don't be like me. Overspenting is a bad habit. Develop saving habits, Don't procrastinate when it comes to paying up.

Important note! After every mountain, there is always a valley

2007-06-09T06:29:00.000+08:00

After Emerge, everyone may be so on fire with the new revived passion for the things of the Lord. The 4 day of Emerge may be tiring, but nevertheless got most of us on track with a new born desire to shine brightly with the glory of God in this fallen world. I caught the fire most on the last day of this entire conference, to stand in the gap to win more souls to this wonderful kingdom.

But we are not to be complacent, there is a saying "after every mountain, there is always a valley." If we are not aware of this valley that is coming our way, we might just have a great bad fall. Instead of falling badly, why not prepare ourself to go through the valley. You will say: " prepare so hard also got to undergo all the valley." But there is another side to the truth, like the sides of a coin. There is always a mountain, after the valley. If we do not get through the valley, how do we emerge out of the valley victorious.

I just want to encourage all who is reading this blog of mine to practice holy discipline. Reading the bible, praying, fasting, doing our quiet time, and anything we can think of, is the most important part of building a strong foundation on the solid rock we have, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Only then we can ensure that the waves and winds of destrustion from the devil can never be us down.

"Emerge victorious over the valley on the mountain! Never shall we fall, cause our lives is bulid upon the Solid Rock, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ."

Love - Is that the whole idea?

2007-06-03T08:34:00.000+08:00

To many of us, the word "love" simply means fatherly/ motherly/ brotherly/ sisterly love, love between friends, love between lovers and etc.

But there are many meanings to the word "love". "Phileo" and "Agape" is one of them.

To a friend we known since a long time, we may say "I love you", but the actual meaning of that word "love" in this context refers to "Phileo". To someone who we may love very much like a brother/ sister, that is also "Phileo". But the Love of God, to give His only begotten son to save the world, this love is truely "Agape".

But you may ask what is Agape's meaning? It is the unconditional love. Love in this modern day had came to a state of "simplicity", people starts to say it everyday. Its like a parent saying I love you to a child, a friend saying I love you to a friend, or even a guy says I love you to a girl. These "I love you" may be said differently, but all of it is similar.

Change now, Love people and things the way Jesus/ Lord/ Holy Spirit love us. Purpose in our hearts to love people and God ultimately, with the unconditional love He shown us.

Our walk with God isn't a bed of roses........

2007-05-27T21:04:00.000+08:00

Most of the "christians" out there in the world, had a misconception that once saved by God, we are confirm entering the gates of heaven. Or even thinking that the walk with God will be a smoothing sailing journey with a lot of blessings.

Time for a wake up call. God saw Jesus, his only begotten son, got tempted by the devil, being mocked at, going to the cross taking all the sins upon himself to die. God saw all those happen, and he let Jesus go through all those. Thinking about this, if Jesus our Lord and saviour have to undergo all those sufferings, how much more special are we to hhim to be exempted to go through all those.

Suffering in terms of persecution, accusation, temptation, sickness, and many more. All these we have to go through them. The devil builds the obstacles in our walk to deter us off the track to our God given destiny. we have a choice to be either cry over it and stay put or rise up to a whole new level and use it to be a stepping stone.

All the situations in our life can either be a steeping stone or a tripping stone. It is the way we see it and the decision we make in all these situation. Let each trial and tribulation be a stepping stone.

People may use diffcult and harsh words to put us down. Are we going to doing any thing to retaliate? If given to me, I choose to let God handle all my burden and situations. What good do I have fighting back?

God told us to take up his yoke. Look here, I interpretted it this way. When we have a hurt, grude or a hate in us, we unknowingly pick the yoke filled with weapons and firearms. By all understanding, all this in the yoke will caused them to be very heavy. But behind it, God given us another yoke filled with essential farming and housing materials. This yoke is definitely lighter then the previous yoke. Furthermore it gives life to the user too.

Make a choice, be merciful, forgive and forget. it take something out of us, but the result will definitely better.

Who am I?

2007-05-21T19:23:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, I wonder who I really was. I often wondering who I could be in the future.

Jesus Christ, My Lord and Saviour had gone to the cross of calvary, took all my sins and sicknesses, and died. I also know that my Lord, has also raisen from the dead. He conquered death and gave all of us eternal life. Each one of us was so percious to him that he is sinless, but he went to the cross to die as a living sacrifice, as a perfect lamb. He also gave us the Holy spirit to be our Guide. All this I give praise to Him and Him alone. Amen

Sermon on mount was the best series I ever heard, bringing out the flaws. How much have me confrom to the likeness of Christ? Are we embracing shallow christianity? This is the question this series of Bible study have posed to each of us, especially me.

How to be poor in the spirit? How to mourn over our sins? How to be meek? How to hunger and thirst for righteousness? how to be merciful? and how to be pure in heart?

All the above, I got to learn to embrace them as my life's principles.

How should I proceed?

2007-05-13T20:21:00.000+08:00

I don't know what God had planned for my life. Each day, I can only depend on little decisions I feel God led me to do. Once in a while, I get unique breakthroughs and revelation from many areas. But I felt this wasn't not enough. I want something more than this.

Sermon on the mount revealed things I never knew. I got to be poor in the spirit, mourn over the sins I committed, then I can be meek enough to do things for Him. Already 4 lessons have passed, I just want to have something more. The special touch from God.

God help me to feel your presence more. Increase my sensitivity, help me to feel you each time I attempt to enter your presence, Reveal more things that is of your will (for let your will be done), lead me to make more wiseful choices in the things I do. Amen

2007-05-08T21:30:00.000+08:00

I hate the devil. And I really mean it. It's like giving a lot of unwanted comments, telling it's ok to do certain things. Or sometime try to influence people around me to turn against me.

Lord, give me the strength, might, power and endurance over the things the devil try to use to deter me from the path you planned for me. Amen.

This afternoon, I saw a message. I felt once again, life is fragile. Things happened so suddenly, so whatever we do, stay in the glory of our father God.

Don't want to blog too much today.

Love

2007-05-06T23:26:00.000+08:00

[1 Corinthians 13:4-7]
[NIV]
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

[Same one in NKJV]
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

I was reading Liru's blog when I see the above verses. I remember about this show called [A walk to remember]. It was a novel brought to screen. Written by Nicholas Sparks(novel) and Karen Janszen (Screenplay), Starred by Shane West (Landon Carter) and Mandy Moore (Jamie Sullivan).

I remember I was touched by the movie. I read the novel and was touched by the things that happened in the plot. The best scene of the movie was how Jamie manage to change a Landon, a guy who is doing all the things in school, to a person so filled with love. At the end, Landon managed to live out what the bible mention. those verses are those I mentioned above.

A movie worth watching.

Love may not be simple as it seems, two come together liking each other and then that's love. I can say thats not true. Loving one person requires time and effort. If the Relationship has the presence of God, surely it will last. Great example is Pst Kong and Sun. There is more to this topic on Love, find the marriage seminar that Pst Kong held before, hear the sermon and all will be clear as water.

Anyway cherish each other, including family, friends and your collegues, you never know when you get to tell them how much you love them.

Realising the importance of Mathew 5, 6, 7

2007-05-06T17:51:00.000+08:00

This {Sermon On The Mount} bible study is one of the important ones in the our walk with God. It show, or rather revealed to us, whether we are on the path leading to God. I ever wondered to myself, the bible shows the beatitudes, but yet it is not explained to us. Pastors quotes verses from the beatitudes every now and then, but what meaning does it hold?

While starting the entire series of this Bible study, Pst Kong pose these question to us:
" Am I a real christian?" and
" Are we conforming to be more like Christ?"

Matthew 5:3

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

In the first lesson, I realised that our attitude reflects the real me. To be "Blessed" doesn't mean to be happy, but to be approved of. To be "Poor in the spirit" doesn't refers to being full of emotions or embrace low self-esteem, but to be desperately hungry or begging for things of the spirit. Our Conscience(guide), intutition(knowing revelation), and communion(experiencing God) forms the parts of our spirit too.

Matthew 5:4
"Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted."

In the second lesson, I realised that our outward shell is formed by things like pride, and etc. Without the outward shell broken, I am unable to experience God, neither can God touch or use us. To be Broken, I frist have to be convicted of all the sins I committed, have a contrite heart over the sins I have committed, confession over the sins I have committed, and then conversion of my way of life.

In the above, I briefly mention about the points that impacted me. I put them up in this blog post for remembrance too.

Feeling blessed by the sermons, I went home satisfied. I can't wait for the up-coming week's service on the lesson 3.

While working today, I felt....

2007-05-04T19:38:00.000+08:00

While chatting on the web with Liru, I suddenly felt that each day I did things that I never thought I could managed. If you were to list out all the things to do each day to me, I may feel discourage and give up. But Our God is a never giving up God.

Each day, I went to work feeling weary from the previous day's work. But each day, I completed the scheduled work without fail. How did it all happen? God empowers each of us to do different works. In our work, we are to do our best and shine with the glory of our Heavenly Father.

Tired and weary too. Need to rest soon.

A little video here - wonderful and its da best

I realised this, Happy or sad, we still have god with us....

2007-05-03T21:29:00.000+08:00

I was talking to my supervisor in the afternoon, about this topic " Liars go to hell."

Initially she said for fun that I was a liar, just because I said I didn't inform my colleague about her checking on him. I claimed that I didn't do so, she mentioned that I lied. Being accused, I said this "Liars go to hell." It came out of my mouth instantly.

So she requested for proof that liar truely go to hell. I took out the bible and showed her this verse [Revelations 21:8]. After seeing that, she was dumbfounded. We carried on to talk about holy spirit's presence and his goodness.

It was than I realised that God had all planned out for all of us. All that we need and want, God have the provisions sorted out for us. I also realised that worrying doesn't consitute to making the problem any better. Intsead, it caused distress in our hearts too. Why not trust in him, using faith and believing that God will make a way for us.

To all, Listen to Don Moen's God will make a way.

He was very angry and he told noodle to stay behind if he has the guts and he'll get his pals to assist him. Meat bao went to find bread, man tou, jian bao etc to get them to reinforce him. Along the way, they saw maggi mee. They ah bish ah bish ah bish and beat maggi mee up and maggi mee beri puzzled why he kena beaten up. He said, "Why u all beat me? What have I done to deserve this?

"Maggi mee! whack small bao harder & harder.After the noodles family has left, they asked Maggi Mee why he hated small bao so much and beat him up so badly. Maggi mee said. "At first wanna teach him a small lesson only, but then see him act cute, made me so angry."

Chapter Three
The more small bao thought of it, the more buay song he was. So, he found the bao family to whack Maggi mee. Then they found ying shi juan (noodles covered with bun).They brought him back as hostage and were about to put him on the stove to force him to talk when the bao head said, "That's not noodles! That's our undercover!"

Chapter Four
The family of bao and noodles are now enemies and they have gang fights whenever they see each other. One day, the noodles family was having a walk when they saw char siew bao alone. Seeing the good chance, all of them attacked him. The noodles family shouted, "Beat him hard hard! Don't give chance just because he's vomiting blood!"

Chapter Five

At the end, the chief of baos - dua bah bao took a final roll over noodle before they dump him. When the poor noodle finally went home, none of the family member could recognise him bcoz he is totally disfigured - flatten. In order not to let the family bear the bad name, he appears as a new member named Mee Pok.

A wedding dinner - A joke

2007-05-03T21:13:00.000+08:00

A wedding dinner - A joke

Once there was a wedding dinner.

The dinner occupied only half the restaurant.
The other half was occupied by some Caucasian tourists.

As the wedding couples hop from table to table to toast the guests, the cheers of "KAN PEI" (happy & joyous drinking) gets louder and louder.
One Caucasian gets more and more irritated as the couple get closer to him.

"KAN PEI....KAN....PEI....!!!" The cheers continued.

Finally, the irritated Caucasian couldn't take it anymore.He stood up on his chair and shouted.
"IF YOU CAN'T PAY, THEN LET ME PAY FOR YOU!"

I said the people in my cell group, N354 and W328, are.....

2007-05-02T11:24:00.000+08:00

After the May day concert by Sun Ho, the celebration of my sister in Christ (Dhanuj), the eating some kebab from the carnival (only stall with food left) and saying byes to each one, I left with Joanna as she lives near to my home too. At the bus stop opposite Expo, we met an air stewardess looking for directions. We done all we could to flag a cab, ask the bus driver, asked Shaun and then Jessica.

After boarding the bus, I told Joanna this, "Why not give her your No. for her to contact you if she wants to come for the services?" Writting down all the details, she went forward to give her the slip of paper.

After all those above happen, we sat down and talk. Joanna mention that she is beautiful. After all those thinking, I still felt that the beauty had a flaw. She doesn't have the glory of God in her smiles. Surface smilies can be easily differentiated too.

But now I realised one fact that I never thought I would mention at all. I think...... the members in N354 and W328 are all beautiful in each own ways. To some is caring, some is ecouraging, and many others that I can never list all out.

In this walk, from the day I transferred into this Cell, I am glad I have a group of wonderfully beautiful people with unique personalities that made them stands out from the rest of the cell groups.

The above is what I currently can think of for each individual, I may have more about each one of you, but I just can't think of it right now. I may have also miss out your name, do let me know too.

Remembering God's promises for me.

2007-04-30T20:54:00.000+08:00

Now that I realised the importance of God's promises in each of our lives, especially for me. I been through not once but twice in my walk with God, being almost falling away from his well prepared destiny for me.

I remember that I felt so dry. Sometimes I wondered myself if God was ever here for me. But little I know, it was the things I did that made me so insensitive to his presence. Even if He were to touch me, I wouldn't know it. Because I was too engrossed in the things I did.

Last week was the wake up call I first experienced after feeling so withdrawn from his presence. I felt his presence so tangible in the cell group during worship. I was completely over-whelmed by Him. After the cell group, I was not so sure about asking Eva to help me in renewing my faith and the promise of salvation in my life. But one sure thing, after the service by Robb Thompson, I was determined to trust in God for a Miracle in my life. I was in need of one in my finances. Trusting in him, I did what I could and began to first trust in him.

It sure is difficult to do so, but since I want to do so and I already done it. I could now only believe and trust that He will surely come through for me.

I also want to start the bible reading program, which was conducted before a few years back. By doing so I want to empower myself with all the availble promises and commandments that was given unto us. Beginning to ask myself in the things that I am going to start doing, ["W"hat "W"ill "J"esus "D"o?]

Lord, I trust in you for all the things you going to bring through me. Empower me to do mightier works than what I done before. Thank you Lord. In your name, Amen!

2007-04-29T19:26:00.000+08:00

I remember vividly, seeing something similar to what I mention below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walking on the beach,
Life feel so despairing,
Overwhelmed by things,
The burden seems so heavy,
I was losing grip of myself,
Giving up seems like the way out.
Once again, trusting in him,
I carry on with the walk.
At the end,
looking back on the path,
The same path I took on,
There only one set of foot-steps.
That wasn't mine.
Because he carried me through it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I brought this up as a reminder onto me and probably to the rest of the people viewing this blog. God wants us to know this thing below.

Big or small your problem may seems, a mountain of problems stacking over you, a path that looks like there is no future; Giving up is never the only option. Feeling sad, angry, overwhelmed by different emotions or even discouraged, will never help in the situation. It will make the situation worse.
God is greater than all the problems in this world combined together as one. No problems, obstacles, persecution, and any others can posed a treat to any of us.
Because when God is with us, who can be against us? Let God have the authority in all of our aspects in our life.

Just stepping out of a situation in my life, that almost made me gave up myself, unable to sense the presence of God at all, I had much revelations about it. With all this revelations, I want to purpose in my life, not to bow my knees before the problems again. The only one person I bow my knees is the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Specially to you guys who stood up my side, during this time of trouble-filled situation, I thank you for not giving me up. Supported me just when I need it most, caring words and encouragement words and messages, I appreciated them all. I love you guys......

Founded my Love again

2007-04-29T16:05:00.000+08:00

Each day, I walk along the path to my future.

Things loaded me up with stress and pressure.

Finances runs dry on some occassions.

My emotions gone to a state beyond my control at times.

But each day I walk on this path to my future with him.

My load was lightened as he carried my load upon himself.

Blessings come raining upon me before my finances runs dry.

At my lowest in my emotions he came by and sat beside me.

Who is He?

He who walk with me, carry me, bless me, comfort me?

This he is my Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of the most high God.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I re-delicated my life to Him, once again. Now I am utterly serious on getting my life back on track.

I realised this fact in the morning. Everything in our life is simply formed up by our choices. To take up the promises that God says, and believing in our heart, and then expecting in my heart that it will come to pass; all of the above-mentioned is just a matter of us making the decision, in our life.

Obstacles, persecution, problems and etc, are the mountains that I now know of. And now I will not allow any of those be in my way to do the things of the Lord. Nothing in the natural is permanent. And I am utterly convinced.

A New start I have began in my life, this walk with God and myself.

Lord, empower me and each day, let your presence be so tangible around me. Guide me in your rigtheousness, lead me to do mighty works for you. Let the glory of yours shines through my life like the city on the hill. I love you with all my heart. Amen.

2007-04-27T20:19:00.000+08:00

During the afternoon, one of my buddies in camp, spoke to me regarding the things he went through during his mother's and grandfather's death. As we were conversing in this topic, I suddenly felt a sudden rush of saddness in my heart. I know I haven't really got through the death of my grandfather. Recently, on wednesday, was the 100th day of my grandfather's death, I regretted not being there to view the things going through that day.

To some of you, blog viewers, might not know just what had happen. My grandfather was wheelchair bound, due to an accident in the toilet. His health deteriorated rapidly. It was just before new year, my grandfather was admitted in the hospital for bleeding while "pee-ing" and "shiting".

The maid taking care of my grandparents called my father on one occasion. My father upon hearing it, together with his brothers, rushed down to the apartment in Ang Mo Kio to take a look, then proceed to sending him to the hospital. His stay at the hospital, made the conditions of his health worse. The whole family was planning to spend the new year together with him, at least before he departs from our midst. It was one day before my last duty in January, that he "left" us.

Initially, before I arrived at the hospital, I felt nothing. But once I saw him, lying there peacefully, I couldn't help it but to feel sad. I was not sad till the state I cried. Preparations had kept me busy enough not to feel depressed. Only on the 4th day of the wake, I couldn't hold it, anymore. Flood gates of my eyes have gave way, while the rituals of the funeral was on-going.

Feeling depressed, I didn't want to stay at home at all. At that time, I chosed to go out to meet my church brothers and sisters.

Thank god for this wonderful bunch of brothers and sisters, who stood by my side. Shaun, shirleen, jessica, joanna, isabelle, and mavis were the ones who spent time to help me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each week, as a NS servicemen, I only look forward to each weekend. Even though, I am in a unit that practise 7.30am to 5.30pm day's work, I just don't like the idea about having the need to serve the next day.

Day in, day out, doing the things I don't have to do, I have started to get sick of the things that are happening in camp. Sometimes I could not control my temper, I will just simply blow my top. I know it doesn't sounds or seems edifying for me as a christian. Everyone, has a threshold where one will feel that there isn't a need to bottle down it all.

Each day, I smiled from point to point, along the way to and from camp. When there isn't anyone around, I begin to think back about my purpose or calling for me in this place. I ain't happy at all. I felt lost at times.

Sometimes, I felt like taking a long vacation leave, just to re-adjust back, back to the me who can handle thing single-handedly for days or even weeks.

Almighty Father,
Thank you Lord for putting me in this place and to hold this apointment. Help me regain the wisdom, knowledge, ability, and power. Empower me to do works, to glorify your name. Help me over-come my temper problem. Don't allow things to influence my mind and lose my cool. Lord, thank you for being my feet when I can't carry on anymore. Thank you for being my lord.In Jesus's name. Amen

change of mindset - what should I start of from.....

2007-04-25T22:49:00.000+08:00

During Bible study, I suddenly felt the presence of God. I don't really know why, but I know for sure that it is regarding the change of mindset that I previously had. I also gave thought about the breakthroughs I had after Water baptism had passed.

I really want to get all of that back. I don't really know how, but one thing for sure, I got to ask Eva/someone closer to me, to lead me once again in the sinner's prayer. Renewing and refreshing the initial faith that birth forth from salvation and Water baptism.

I know that every time someone who is concern, ask me if everything is ok, my standard answer will be ok. I don't know what I am avoiding too. I want to be a person who leads a transparent life, living through with God's glory that shines brightly. So that I can be the lamp/vessel, that God can freely use.

God, help me regain the faith and fervency to grow in the things of you Lord. Lead me in your ways, empower me to shine brightly with your glory and thus, glorifying your name. Renew my faith and change my mindset. Guide me in all righteousness. All these I pray in Jesus's Name.......Amen

Changes for the better - Confirming the removal of the Vices

2007-04-24T21:36:00.000+08:00

Never once I thought of this......

Smoking, drinking, gambling, and the rest of the possible vices will one day lead to death. And when I say death is in terms of eternal death. Indulgence in this things does bring one to a state of forgetting oneself and one's surroundings. But thinking about it, it does not solve the problem at all.

Smoking harms health. Our body, the temple of the holy spirit, is being harmed by the smoke cigarettes produced. Drinking does likewise too. Gambling, does not directly harms health, but the money that piles up when one borrows and be unable to pay up. This indirectly harms the body by stressing up the mind. Indulgence in pornography will also corrupt the mind of one too.

All this things I memtioned above, I probably have done most of them before. I also know the consequences linking to each of them.

I want to break the chains of each vice, once and for all. I remember a preacher once said :" Salvation only removed the gulit that possibly stored up in us due to the sins we committed, but not the memories." Therefore, breaking the chains or the foothold of each evil spirit of sin is what I want for my life.

Lord of my life,
Thank you lord for all the wonderful things you have done in my life. Have mercy over me, change my life. Let not one of the vices mention, have anything to do in my life. Keep the temptations of smoking, drinking, gambling, indulgence in sinful things away from me, empower me to overcome all this things.
Spirit of smoking, drinking, gambling, indulgence in sinful things, I renounce you all out of my life. never again you shall set foot in my life.
Lord, save my life, pull me out of the pit. Protect me from the devil's attack. Change my life direction completely towards you and only you.
Hear these prayers and let them come to pass.
Amen

Sinner I am, God Cleanse me of all my Sins

2007-04-24T13:08:00.000+08:00

Lord, Hear my cry towards you.

I know I am a Sinner.

And I also know that You came to this broken world,

to redeem all from the bondage of the devil.

You suffered the lashes of the whips, endured the cross.

You died under all the suffering, and shame.

You taken all sins and the sufferings upon you.

Forgive me Jesus,

Your rebellious child is me, I ask for your forgiveness.

I lay down all my sins on the cross.

Wash me clean with your blood.

Lead me in righteousness.

Give me the power to control my mind.

Lord, Renounce the devil in my life.

Let there be no foothold for the devil to control my life.

devil, in Jesus, mighty name, I command you to get out of my life.

no more you shall control me.

Lord, I thank you for all the things you have done for me,

And I thank you for the promises you going to fulfill in my life.

I went through this entire week as though I was just passing life through. As though, I am in a car, passing by bus stops, never though of stopping at all. Just as the week came to an end, I for the first time sense the presence so tangible in the room. I was practicing the guitar on a couple of songs that I can manage. Then, I felt the presence came into the room. It was no doubt the presence of God.

The cell had been rather quiet these days. I don’t know why I feel that way too. Probably, just me, feeling like the way it is.

I ever thought of this before, why did Jesus willing suffer for our sake, taken 40 lashes of the whip, carried the cross and then be nailed onto it. After many thoughts and the services, I finally realized one thing. Jesus loved the world so much, that he became so willing to do those above-mentioned things. He went through all those to build the bridge that links to the Father, our God!

I also had a problem with myself. Sometimes, thoughts that come to my mind are not of God, I tried my very best to refrain from thinking about them. But I just can’t do so. Self-control, the one factor I need most in my life.

Today is a new day. Father God, Forgive me of all my sins and cleanse me with the blood of Jesus. Let all of my life and my body be linked to Jesus. Lead me in righteousness. Keep the devil far away from me. Prosper my Life and keep me in Health. Lord, bless me so that the people around me will in turn be blessed too. I pray out this personal prayer. In Jesus mighty name, I pray. Amen.
