Jumping on the Spring

WOOoooossshhhhhhhhhhh~


That's how fast this year flew past.
So fast, just like how we accelerated!

These past few weeks have been so exciting.
If you think Lord of the Rings have been exciting, or Harry Potter or even James Bond, wait till you try being in the front line of the Kingdom of Heaven - LIVE!

Zone Camp was like exploding! I literary felt fire, especially after Charleston laid his hand on me, then we had a revelation sermon by Pastor How - Wisdom of insects!

I bet you, even the scientists want to learn! If you don't, something is wrong with your intriguing senses.

It is so interesting, trust me. Even the Ants can teach you a IMPORTANT lesson in life. And the rock badges.
Upcoming in these 2 weeks are the Locusts and Spiders! Come and hear what they have to teach us, mere human beings!


SSF Culinary Bash - a great time to bond together! Don't you feel like sticking together as a Body? Well, we are of one body anyway, but let's get more united closely.


We are through 1000! Can you imagine that? When we first came, we were just like 250?
God is just so so here! You can't deny it! I can't!


I just love what I do, man!
It was so exciting planning events, outings, conferencing with the team! I just love you guys so much la! You guys rock! I love my life man!


Alright, getting to study...
Rock on life!

Thoughts

Sometimes I feel that the most interesting thing in this world, is really the human beings.

Whenever I am around people, in the world outside, in school, at home, anywhere, I always pondered on how and why people will react the way they did.

It can be exciting, interesting, but yet at the same time sad to imagine the childhood experience these people might have gone through which resulted in their character and behaviour in the later years.

And even reaction is a very intriguing process.

When provoked, what would you do?
When someone fall down, what would you do?
When friends get sad, what would you do?
When people score well for exams, what would you do?

The phrase that sank into my heart this week is "What wrecks your heart"?
The easiest mood in life is happy, no one wants to be sad.
But the question is really what makes someone sad?
Lose money? Never do well for school? Fell down? Friends laugh at you?

It really shows something about the person by looking at the things that wrecks their heart.
If you are someone who gets sad because you see people starving everyday, having family problems, depressions, people's lives not in order, and they lack eternal life, it shows something about your value system and heart.

My pastors and leaders are like that.

Thank God.

Don't you find it hard to live around people who laugh at the wrong things?
Who snears at the joyful things?
Who gets depress over the slightest things?
Who has no emotion over the most fantastic things?

What wrecks your heart?


Well, we want to fight for the burden in our hearts.
I have many thoughts, many dreams, complains, grumbles...
But don't stop at that. Don't be a whiner.

Be a history maker, do something, fight for it!
Are you willing to do anything to achieve something good?
Are you willing to do anything to stay on the course?
Are you willing to do anything to breakthrough?
Are you willing to do anything to see your friends' lives being revived by eternal life?

Well, these are my thoughts today...
Don't be dead on your brain. Think!

God gives us a brain to think!
But at least think according to God's truths and ways. He don't create you for nuts!


Rock on,
going to teach math...

Prayer

Pastor is just so awesome!


Billions of people pray in this world, but just how many get their prayers answered?

Well, the answer is in the bible. None of us knew it until our beloved Pastors interpret the bible for us, with the help from the HS.


1) Specific

When you pray, be specific. It's as real as asking for something.
If you ask "give me something". Well, give you what?
hence, you got to be exact and ask specifically what you want!

2) Desire

How many of you feels sleepy while praying? And after you try to pray long?
Why not ask yourself this question. If you are trapped in a room and enemy soldiers are outside your street storming in your block, will you fall asleep while praying for salvation?
Well, it's the desire!

3) Faith

People think it is just positive thinking.
Well, when you believe in God, it's not just positive thinking, but spiritual impartation and tangible realness! Mind, Spirit and Body. It's just going to be real!
Have so much faith that it becomes real.

Hebrews 11:1 "For faith is the substance of things hope..." Substance is something real, can be felt, can be seen. So real isn't it? Well, hope for it then!

4) Mind your language

What you always talk about determine your spiritual life.
For out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks.
If you live a holy life, speaking life to people, and not death. Be like Jesus, for He came to Earth to share the good news. How better a news can that get?
Holy lifestyle.


Let's be that new generation of people who REALLY change the world, just like how Jesus did.
Love God, love people, love life.

At the end, I really love Pastors. They are the ones who made all THESE happen to me, for me, and through me!


Praying for you, pastors, everyday! And my leaders!!!

The future is amazing and exciting

Today, preparing for a power-packed CG.

Listening to pastor's sermon on Effective Evangelism and getting real geared up to evangelize again.

During CIC, pastor was explaining about evangelizing.
Many people think evangelizing is bringing people to church, but well, it's actually bringing church to the people.
It's serving them,
it's loving them,
it's caring for them,
it's what Jesus did when He came to Earth.

Then the people will want to come church themselves! Woohoo... That's amazing revelation, isn't it?

Let's EV and changed the world, 1 at a time.

..............................................

So during prayer meeting, we all sat in front and listen to the speakers.
At the ending, I rounded up the sermon and share a few more points.

DREAMING - Standing behind the pulpit (music stand) and preaching the gospel, teaching people.
I was really dreaming the future to happen now.
It feels super good man!
I believe one day I will do it.
But to think deeper, I wouldn't be anywhere near this if not for Pastors, my leaders and the church.

Environment for growth is so important!
Preserve the environment for the river!
protect the environment.
Provide for the environment!

The future is indeed amazing.
Wait till you see it with your own eyes!
Get excited


Offing,
Wei Jie

Looking to the future

Was just inspired today, both by God and by Charleston.


Prayed in the afternoon, asking God what to do with the CG, and the people and believing for breakthroughs and the people to grow stronger, and got affirmation from the Heaven.

Immediately messaged Charleston and Roy. Charleston replied me and it brought a new dimension to my understanding - no wonder he's my zone leader!! Ha-ha.


So fired-up to bring the CG to the next level, together with Pastors, Charleston and Roy!!! Church - 1000, C Zone 200++ !

.............

Finished reading a book "Anointing - Manifestations of the Holy Spirit"
It blew my mind! You wonder how powerful the Holy Spirit is. HE IS AWESOME!

Just share a few examples:

There was this catholic woman who doesn't pray in tongues, but was prayed for by her friend, believed and started praying in tongues. She immediately called her father (they were Swedish), and she prayed in tongues over the phone. Her father then answered her in Russian but the woman was confused as she doesn't understand Russian. She then asked her father what did she say and her father said this: "There shall be a great revival here and the coming of the Holy Spirit in Uppsala. The Lord shall be here to do great mighty works". Isn't it amazing how God works! After that, her father was so shocked that he believe in praying in tongues as well.

Start praying the Holy language, everybody! You'll change your world!

PRAY - PRAYING - PRAYERFUL

Meeting with Pastor Lia

Hey everyone,


i really want to share about today because I had a meeting with Pastor Lia!!!


Can I tell you that it is so awesome! It was, it is, and it will definitely be life-changing!!!
Our pastors and leaders are so awesome!


Although I won't tell you what we talked about during the meeting but I want to share with you how I felt! Is it okay? haha...


During the meeting, Pastor pointed out to me things she knows about me, and told me how I can change to be better and stronger!! And can I tell you that it is so amazing! Thats why they are our pastors! They know me more than I know myself. At the end of the meeting, I was thinking, "how does Pastor know so much about me". So amazing. Of course, one way is that they are concerned so they ask our leaders and find out, but on the other hand, there are some things that you never mention before, but they also know! Ha-ha, this is what i am talking about!


That's why, when you meet your leaders, it's always great! It will definitely help you.

The only option is what you decide to do with it.

Either you will take their words and run with it, do it, and manifest yourself upon it, and you will definitely grow.

Or you be:
defensive - don't agree/
offensive - want to attack back/
subjective - think they don't like you, look down on yourself.


Sometimes the meeting can be casual and fun, but the purpose is still the same.
Sometimes the meeting can be HARSH and hurtful, but the PURPOSE is still the SAME!

So, don't look at things on the outside, look at things on the inside. It's the same with choosing friends, and (NEXT TIME) your partners for life, you can look on the outside, but be more concerned about the inside (character, heart, love for God, love for people)


HAHA... Love pastors and my leaders!!! My life is really not going to be the same again! haha...

Sy Rogers - sin

Sy Rogers' Seminar

First of all, Pastor Sy shared about his personal revelation of God:

• Everyone has needs in their lives, human are not perfect.
  And God doesn’t take away your needs
  He fills it.
• Who whole world may classify you as “failure” (just like in the case of Pastor Sy because he was a gay)
  But God doesn’t see you as a failure! He didn’t create you to fail!
  

Sermon
Starting, Pastor Sy teaches us about sin and what could cause human to sin.

Sin: To “fall short” or miss the mark or standard of God’s intent.

E.g.

• God didn’t make human to take someone else’s things (steal).
• God created hormones, man and female, but God didn’t intend for pre-marital sex as it will lead to unnecessary problems.
• God created the mind, but didn’t intend for it to think badly, have lustful thoughts, bad intentions towards one another, but of love and a sound mind!

The good thing is that God forgives, but the world doesn't forgive.

It's like a person who commit suicide from jumping off from the top of a building.

Right before he touches the ground, he might felt enlightened and ask God to forgive him of his wrongdoing, and God forgives. Guess what, the law of gravity doesn't forgive. He/she will still crash and die.

Considering another example, someone who is contracted with AIDS. He/she might regret, and go towards God for forgiveness knowing that is a wrongdoing, and not according to God's wills of human being. But guess what, AIDS will still kill.

So in generally, people sin because they are either

• misled by the society, family, peers, culture
• weak - doesn't know how to fight off the bad things, human are weak!
• resisting God - knowing what is right, but doesn't trust God so you resist Him.

Well, all these are just from the bible which says "The spirit is willing but the flesh is not".

Now everyone may feel that human are such a failure creation, born to sin...

But well God also wants to tell us that we are born to grow to be strong.

Ask yourself, if a baby learns to walk, there are bound to have falls and injuries, right?

But then does the parents scold the baby and say "you evil baby, don't you know it is God's will that human should use their limbs and walk!"

If not, then how come if people sin, there are some people who despice them and mocked them.

The baby carries on training until 1 day he/she can walk, and slowly moves on to run, jump, and eventually drive?

So it should be the same with our spiritual walk. (there you see, spiritual WALK).

The key is: do not give up, no matter what.

Compare your 10 years of training, to eternity in Heaven with our Father God!

It can take 10 years for you to overcome your disbelief in GOd, but it will earn you an ETERNITY, know what it means - forever!

Sometimes we feel that God already know we are weak. (He does)

But we always ask God, if so, then how come you still want to create us.

Well, God is a good parent, and He wants us as His children no matter how dirty and/or dumb we are. God is love!

Last service

EVELYN!!!!
EVELYN!!!!
EVELYN!!!!
EVELYN!!!!
EVELYN!!!!


Haha. Evelyn is so awesome! Secondary 1! Lives at Jurong East, but still attends church faithfully!! Awesome!

Let me share with you something powerful!

Last sunday 22 July: I asked Evelyn how was service, and she shared with me her encounter with God during worship.

This is what she said:

"I felt God standing beside me, and was just being there for me, and i felt so comforted.
IT WAS SO REAL, right beside me, as i worship Him."

MY GOODNESS! It really reassured the bible verse: Unless you have childlike faith, you can't enter the kingdom of heaven.

She has so much faith!! Woohoo~~~~


Haha.. be inspired, everyone! Have a childlike faith like her! =) It's the most precious thing anyone can have... because christianity is a relationship of faith...

No longer I who lives

It is no longer I who lives!

The sermon starts when Pastor shared about 1 of the disciple Thomas who didn't believe that Jesus would resurrect from the dead.

And he said in John 20:25 "Unless i see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print o the nails, and put my hang into His side, I will not belive."

And Jesus came to him and showed him His hands, and asked him to put his hands in.

Verse 28: And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and and my God!"

Why did Thomas not just called GOD, but also called Him LORD!!!

The answer reveals...

1st level of knowing Jesus as a Saviour "Thank You Jesus"
2nd level of knowng Jesus as God "Asking for help"
3rd level of knowing Jesus as Lord. "No Longer I who lives"

Lord=Master
if you call somebody your master, you obey everything he/she says.
FULLY yielded to God!

What does it mean? Why must we treat God as our Lord?

Have you wonder why God is more prominent in a certain life than in others?
As in, God is more found in someone rather than the other guy...

Well, Psalm 34:18 answers you: The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and save such as have contrite spirit.

Contrite = humble, submissive.
Broken heart doesn't mean you boke up with girl friend and felt sad.
Broken heart doesn't mean you sin and felt remorseful.
Broken heart doesn't mean you are being hurt/betrayed by friends.
Broken heart doesn't mean you have bad experiences...

It means your SELF-WILL is broken. NO LONGER I
you no longer makes decision based on yourself.
You take out the "I" and get filled with Christ.

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; It is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me; and the life which i now live in the flesh, i live by faith in the Son of God who love me and gave Himself for me.

NO LONGER I

God doesn't bless people who are holier.
Even if you have read finish the bible from cover-to-cover, doesn't mean anything...
Even if you attends church ever since young till a ripe old age doesn't mean much either...

It's the SELF-WILL. Got to be broken and allow God TO FILL IT.
When God is Lord, you don't just obey...but you obey IMMEDIATELY...

There is a saying: "When God called you to be a pastor, don't stoop down to be the king of England."

Realise stoop down to be king...

YES! King cannot compare to a Pastor.

And lastly, with all the visions that you all have, ask yourself "is it my vision, or is it God's calling for me?"

Well, just to encourage you God sees every time we do/try something. At least we are telling God "You are Lord, and I want to obey you!"

God will glorify you one day. Our Father wouldn't want to see His children in despair.


In the bible also, Jesus called a man, the greatest man of all mankind.
Matt 11:11 Of all born of woman, there is none greater than John the baptist.

Every single person is born of woman right? Who is born of man? Ha-ha...

That's why... but why?

John the baptist said this John 3:30 : He must increase, but I must decrease.

JESUS MUST INCREASE, but i must decrease.
Therefore God was allowed to work in his life, through his life, and for his life!

Hence, if you want to see how much God can bless you, and glorify you, and raise you to your fullest RIGHT potential, yield yourself to God... Allow God to touch your life and prosper it!!!


AMEN,
Wei Jie

The church experience

21 July 2007 - Saturday!





It is a wonderful sermon, that partly gives us the vision for the upcoming major heart of God church life!





So basically, it started when pastor shared that "we must know the seasons of times!" - Yes, even the season in the country; what is happening to the neighbourhood, what the world is going through... etc...





So Pastor went on to share with Singapore (and the world) is moving towards BTMICE - Business Travel, Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions.

It will help with Singapore's economy.



And then something important to know that businesses in the world progresses...

And let's take coffee as an example:

1. Comodity (useful material) selling things at the cost price.
   Cofee powder + plain water = 30cents? (Coffee powder from factory)


2. Goods (selling product) To earn profit.
   60cents? (coffee poweder from departmental stall)


3. Service (Plus providing service)
   $1? (Coffee from coffee-shop)


4. EXPERIENCE!!! (the level we want to talk about)
   $5 (Coffee from STARBUCKS!!)

Singapore is trying to move into the EXPERIENCE mode. It's like no one would want to travel so far to visit Singapore for some things that their own country has, but only for - EXPERIENCE.

Its like, going star bucks compared to coffee-shop - the experience, the atmosphere, comfort, etc... =) Get what i mean. That's why the prices go up...

Well... What has it got to do with church.

As singapore wants to improve on, and is focusing on getting great experience for tourists etc, business-men from overseas...

AND CHURCH, as we want to move on the bigger place (SingPost), growing spiritually stronger, we got to grow in experience as well.

1. We have commodity (Word of God, presence?)


2. We have goods (It's given away to the people, whoever asks for it)


3. We have service (Isn't weekend service cool enogh?)


4. But well... we got to work on EXPERIENCE.

Create a place and service where experience is rare, and people love it!

If you realise, the higher level we go, the more value the prices increases...

commodity=>goods=>service=>experience. Because in business term, they want to ADD VALUE to it!!!

AND THE CHURCH wants to add value to PEOPLE's LIVES!!! God wants to do that!

That's why we got to improve in ourselves as well. That's why you see, the church has to have everything- not just spiritual growing, but even relationship counselling, studies motivating, character improving, etc... WE TALK ABOUT EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES

THE CHURCH EXPERIENCE

We got to build a church which provide GREAT experience for people...to experience GOD!!

And to be captivating is what it means to experience. If people enjoy what they experience, we say that they are captivated by it.

Ask yourself this question: When ask you where to shop for sports equipments.. Nike? Addidas?

And why? because they have captured your attention.

And ask yourself where you go to buy Handphone.. Nokia?

And why? because they have captured your attention.

So we got to be like that! When people think about a church to attend - HEART of GOD!!!

=)

Let's build a strong church to allow people to experience GOD!!

Revelation for Adam and Eve

Well Clement, and everyone else, here you go...

My revelation of Spiritual Attack from Adam

If you read the very first few chapters and how Adam fell...


Background story:

It was Eve who took the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
It was the serpent who tricked Eve to take it...
But if you study the bible closely, as to WHY Eve believe the serpent is because she doesn't know the word of God!!

So people, you must love and know the WORD of GOD!

See carefully, God only says that Gen 2:17 "you shall not eat from the tree lest you die"
But if you see how Eve replied the serpent, Gen 3:3 "God says we shall not eat OR TOUCH IT lest we die..."

When did God added in that touch?
Get what I mean? Eve doesn't know exactly the WORD of God! (Abstract from Pastor Lia's teaching)

So my revelation was that...

Have you wondered how come we always say "the fall of man" = "the fall of adam", and not "the fall of Eve". Eve has never come into the picture...
But if you realise, it was Eve who "sabotaged" Adam.

And i was thinking, if the devil wants to attack you, to stumble you or cause you to sin, he is smart to get someone to get you - even someone you are very close, or someone you trust.

For this case, it was Eve - Adam's wife. But then again, the devil attacks people who are weaker and uses them to attack the stronger ones.

So guys,

1. be strong - KNOW THE WORD OF GOD!
2. do not be stumbled by people - the devil might use people to stumble people.

Upcoming - 21st,22nd July Sermon!!!

• The Church Experience
• It is no longer I who lives.

GROW, GROW!!

Night of enjoyment

Tuesday night!!


I went for an outing with God!!


I was thinking of the vision that is ahead of me, and running this race to serve God, serve our pastors, leaders, church and PEOPLE!


And at the moment, I am just desperate...for super-power!


I went to my room and just started praying and stomping around my room for like 30 times... and just getting into prayer-mode...


As my computer in the living room was running, and music was playing was playing, i suddenly felt a strong urge to worship God, and thus I did.


I lie on my bed and just worship God - that moment, i knew I will fall asleep, but I told God, let your presence keep me awake...and I continue worshipping and praying for 30 minutes... I walked around, lay on the bed, sat up, kneel down... and just go round and round, talking to God and asking Him what should I do now...


Gradually, I went to sleep, peacefully, and I woke up at 8am plus (remarkably early for me - breakthrough). And then... God spoke: "Start your goal, finish the bible from cover to cover in 3 months. Make it happen!" And I start reading. Within that morning 9am-10am, I did housework, cleaned myself, study the bible, replied mails, did some thinking on my administrations and feels good!!!

I had so much revelations that morning, and I have a lot more in the afternoon and night!!!


It was like as though I am on a crash-course for Bible study.


Well: 1st of all... God created the whole in 7days, I thought could there be a reason in the sequence; is there anything that human can apply that sequence into their lives?


Hmmm. Let's see:

Day 1: God created light in the world...A new light was invited into human beings? (Light of Christ entering a new christian)
Day 2: God separated Heaven and Earth...Church and the world outside, Christians must go to church?
Day 3: God separated water, seas and lands are formed...Water represent Word of God. Seas=the world with God's words in it, and Earth=the world without God's word?
Plants were grown on the earth, fruits bear...We all know that plants need water to survive and grow. So if the Earth has no water (Word of God), only christians who have the Word of God in their lives can bring them to "Earth" and give them life. God expects human to reach out and help them?
Day 4: God created a greater light (sun) and a lesser light (moon) to separate day and night...Everyone knows that people seldom sin/do bad in day-time, but often will problems, crimes happen in the dark. Why? because there is a lesser light (Glory of God), and hence people tend to do bad. Will you be like that too? Or will you withhold Christian character even through day and night?
Day 5: Animals and beasts were created...Jesus was attacked by beasts when He fasted 40 days in the wilderness. Beasts naturally would attack human. Persecutions and problems will attack the christians? Got to stay strong?
Day 6: God created human...A new birth perfected human is birthed - a strong christian.
Day 7: God rested, wants to keep it holy... Human can relax and enjoy the presence of God...

Well, this was what I got when i read the first part. It seems like a process from a baby christian all the way till he/she goes to Heaven.

Wonder if you agree with me... =)


I have got more to share... but well.. shall not post so much... =) You can ask me if you want to know. =)


GOD, let me know you more!!

Genesis of a Genius

Genesis of a Genius

Genesis – beginning.
Genesis of a Genius – Beginning of a genius in forming…


Yes, every one of you.

In Genesis, the commandment for every human was to fill the earth, subdue it and dominate every living creatures and the whole earth.

Yes, those creatures flying on the sky, diving in the sea, and roaming the lands – fangs, wings, poison, claws, etc…

If that was God’s commandment for human, what do you think about it? God is ridiculous, unreasonable?

Well, NO!

He has also given us a tool to carry out this commandment – our brain!

The human brain is so amazing – if you do a research, it can actually store up to 125 trillion 500 billion characters… YES!! For your information – 125, 500, 000, 000, 000 characters

But so sadly, average human uses less than 10% of our brain. Just to encourage you, the smartest person on earth – Albert Einstein’s brain is slightly smaller than average human brain. =)

So what is this all about…? Let me describe more: our brainwaves move at a super duper remarkable speed “120m/s”. Our brain is super amazing, yeah? – Now you see God is reasonable…

This brain is the one that carried man to the sky (beat the birds) and even to the moon.
This brain is the one that went into the sea (beat the fishes).
This brain is the one that roams the earth (beat the animals) and control them.

How our brain gets develop
Our brain develops as people use it – the more you use it, the more it gets intelligent.

Thinking makes you intelligent. Intelligent DOES NOT make you think.
So that’s why, no one is born stupid or smart – it is the one you train your brain, since young, or any age at all!

Let’s have a short test and think about it:

What is 2 x 2? Answer is 4?
Can you imagine how hard you have to understand that when you were primary 1?
Well, what’s the difference? You are still you, your brain is still intact – you didn’t insert any micro-chip inside, did you?
Let me tell you, the difference is because you read it many times, done the question many times, so you get used to it and your brain stores that information so you can remember it easier.

THEREFORE – the more you use it, the more intelligent your brain gets!

That’s why, every one of us gets an opportunity to be smarter…NO…no… the correct way is to get more intelligent. No matter how much we study, we are still humans; we don’t evolve to be aliens. (There is no such thing as evolution rule also) Hence, we just get more intelligent – knowing more information than other people.

That’s why, GENESIS OF A GENIUS!!! Everyone has a chance to develop their mind.


And our first commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, your soul, your MIND, and your strength!

Christians shouldn’t be stupid…but because of the marvelous work that we are doing, the more Christians should be intelligent and use their mind to do a better work with a better quality to glorify GOD! AMEN!!

Pastors are so amazing!!!

Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom

15 July 2007 Sunday

Knowledege, Understanding, Wisdom

Knowledge - acquiring of knowledge
Understanding - Interpretation of knowledge
Wisdom - Applying of knowledge

Isn't is amazing how a person need all 3? Let me tell you why......


Wisdom is a very precious character in a person's life.
It is wisdom that determines whether a person do the right thing at the right time...
prevent bad things from happening in the future...
applying the actions at right situations so to ensure things go smoothly...

Wisdom is the word that causes actions from people.
If ever you got fed-up because someone did something and irritated you, it's because that person was unwise (Or unless you are petty, proud, or insecure)

So actually, everyone wants to have wisdom, just like how King Solomon (the wisest man on planet earth), Daniel, and especially Jesus had!

But before we have wisdom, we must understand the level it progresses..
Knowledge --> Understanding --> Wisdom...

Knowledge is just memorising facts. Knowing what is going on (The "WHO", "WHAT", "WHERE", "WHEN")...
But just 1 thing to inspire you - THE MORE YOU USE YOUR BRAIN, THE MORE DEVELOPED IT GETS, THE EASIER YOU CAN REMEMBER THINGS!
Now you know why some people keep forgetting things. =P

Understanding the knowledge is the 2nd step - to be able to interpret it (The "WHY"), knowing the reason of the cause. Knowledge alone cannot bring you anywhere, it just tells you, but if you have understanding, you will know things better, it enlightens.
But the very key thing here is the speed...to understand.
Daniel, in the bible, was quick to understand!!

It is like you have memorised the whole Math textbook, formulae, structures...but during the exam, you didn't do well because you couldn't finish in time... (Sounds familiar?)

This is a problem with the SPEED OF UNDERSTANDING - too slow...

BUT... the good news is that our minds can be developed. Besides just bombarding it with knowledge, facts, information, you can practise math questions (or other things) to train your mind to think faster!!! FASTER!!! Praise God, there is no such thing as born stupid or born slow!

Lastly, once you have the knowledge, understands all of it, you can choose to do something about it... And of course, it is the people who have wisdom that will apply their knowledge and do something fruitful.

Let's take an example to help understand things better. (Pastor How is awesome, man!?)

Information: What is happening to our nation's focus and direction in the next 20 years - increasing population to 6million? Singapore is thinking of decriminalising homosexuality. You don't know about it? (KNOWLEDGE!!! Go read the newspapers! Feed yourself with knowledge)

Understanding: Singapore wants to attract more people (preferable smarter people, lawyers, doctors etc...) to our country, and especially tourists as well also... So in order to do that, Singapore has to change from a "safe country" to a "exciting country". If you think about it, Singapore is termed as ... "clean, garden-city, efficient"? But is that fun? Well...no?

So that's why Singapore is trying to westernize, and allow more things like Casino, integrated resorts,(and thinking of decriminalising homosexuality) to be more open and exciting, to attract people.

Wisdom: Before I go on, you can ask yourself this question, "So? What do I do?" That is wisdom... After knowing what happen, understanding it, what are you going to do about it?

The wisdom in this situation is to: STUDY! Compete with these extra 2 million people that are going to come in and steal our occupations!!! If we don't study, by then we will be in workforce but these people that immigrate are like the top students of various neighbouring countries (or further), we are sure going to have a problem!

That's why Pastors are very concerned about our studies! 1st hand, it develops our minds, trains our brains! On 2nd hand, to earn us a living!

And what other actions we can take? GUARD OUR HEARTS. As Singapore is moving towards being open-minded and "exciting", we got to remain pure in our hearts and actions. Let's be a new generation of youths that don't succumb under pressure! Let's be strong! And to start training us for the future (to be able to work and yet serve God fervently), we got to start doing it now - to serve God fervently and yet doing well for out studies!!!

Philippians 4:13 All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me!

Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom!

You learn something? It will surely change your world! - Amen!

Praying for Charleston

Hi Fellow C-Zoners.

After getting into Guards unit in the army, Charleston got news that he might have chance to be taken out and put into HQ unit which can help him to take 8-5pm!!! That he may really serve God, the church, pastors and people!

And you know this kind of things in the army, it really just depends whether the officer likes you or not, to decide whether to choose you.


Let's really carry Charleston in our prayer!!





C Zone - Loving servant-heart!!

sliding

How many of you encountered this situation before?


You don't feel the presence of God, then you feel like backsliding and leaving God...
.
.
.
.
Well... have you thought about it in another way?



Your father went oversea for a business trip and wouldn't be home. You can't feel his presence around, noone carries you to bed, noone kisses you good night, noone buys dinner home for you, are you going to leave the house and leave your father?
.

Hmmm...Never treat relationship so lightly...


Relationship is such a fragile term - it brekas so easily, and needs so much maintenance.

Think about it, are you still in contact with your kindergarden friends, primary school friends? If yes, was it because there has been a constant contact?

If not, was it because there was no constant contact?

Well as you can see, without constant contact, it's pretty hard to maintain a relationship, needless to have a GOOD relationship.

Therefore, never treat relationship lightly, especially good ones. There are so many relationships that people get hurt from...so don't break this relationship that meant good for you - the one with our true and living Jesus!


Loving more and more,
Wei Jie

Wei Kiat!!

Wei Kiat, you miss your hair? Ha-ha!!!


Just want to tell you that we miss you la brother! Serve hard and store power yeah! So when you come back, you'll be ready to fire up forever more !!!!

TOWARDS YOUR VISION!!!



Love you bro!!

How to fight against forgetfulness

Today morning i woke up as usual and prepare to go out...


As how i used to be since young, i have a forgetfulness mind.


But just to side-track and let you know what i did from last night to this morning...
.
..
..
...
.....
.......


For more than 2 hours, i was putting on my headset and worshipping God in every single songs that i can find in the laptop, and after that i took up my guitar and worship some more!!! It feels as though my room was lit up by an invisible light...

Then i slept...
.
..
...
....
.....
.....

I opened the door, and left my house, but immediately after i locked my metal door, i felt a very weird and uneasy feeling arousing in my spirit... "Did i forget to bring anything?"

And i searched my bag's pockets (i have 2 which i use very often), and i realised i can't find my thumbdrive (commonly forgotten item). So i decided to go back to my room and searched for it but...i couldn't find it... As i look around the house, surprisingly, i found my wallet (which unknowingly forgot as well). Just at that moment, i was like "where did my thumbdrive go?" Then a voice came into my heart and said "it's still in your trousers which you wore yesterday..."
..
..
..
Toilet...
..
..
Bucket...
..
..
Found my trousers... grabbed my thumbdrive..
.
..
...
PRAISE GOD...

It seems as though Someone is reminding me that i have forgotten to bring something...


This is having a relationship with God!!!


Go get it!!

Fun day - 12 July Thursday

Today…

Had fun hanging out with Sim Jia Hui!!! Such a sweet girl, though quiet!! Jia Hui, you’re awesome la!!! When you talks more… =)

Hear her share all the fantastic heavenly encounters with God… let me share with you a bit.

1) You know that auditoriums are always cold, and I really mean always…but as she was worshipping and praying, she just came across and asked God for warmth…and you know the story after that…The presence of God comes with a peace of warmth as well…which many families lack…
2) She was raising hands reaching towards heaven and worshipping God and she felt God holding her hands!!! OH MY GOODNESS! Wonderful vision and touch.Told you she is powerful! Such a small girl but with so much FAITH!!
Ha-ha, also not forgetting that I had a great chat with her. *wink (;



Then after that, Stephanie came along and joined in the fun!!

Ha-ha, then we started cam-whoring… Videoing and clicking away our phones… (Will upload it soon)


After that, went gym and…stress, stress my arms…and abs…Buff, buff in progress. Aiming to get to 65KG by end of July!!! Already 62… Yes…


Then I travel down to Yishun Food court to find Li Yun, Benedict and Ding Huang. They are crappy man… And it was so joking and funny to talk with them… Ha-ha, Benedict, I owe you 1 basketball hangout okay! Can’t wait to “exchange blows”. Ha-ha.

And Ding Huang, I look forward to draw all your full crappiness! =P

As for Li Yun, you are awesome la! You know, I know, God knows, I have already told you! You are always trying to make the Bible alive… =) in every part of your world! Before that, bring the Bible into your life can? Rock on la!!



Hey leaders! I love all of you la! You guys are really hardworking and loving God, loving pastors and loving people! Keep on striving towards the end-in-mind and the vision!!! Discipline will come! =)


Love you all la!

Friend? True relationship? What about it?

Have you even wondered what does it mean to be a friend?

Have you ever wondered what a good relationship is?

Have you ever wondered what a good relationship will lead you to?
…
…
…
…
Reveal…

To be a friend is like:
- Being there when the person is sad
- Just there accompanying them
- Buying food when they are hungry
- Know their favorite drink…
- Know how they feel?
- Encourages one another
- Helps one another grow stronger.

A good relationship is:
- When both parties are transparent (not just open) towards one another
- Solves the small problem before it gets big because if you realize, all problems start small.
- Shares joy and problems. (and I really mean problem as well, because TRANSPARENT)

A good relationship will lead you to:
- Healthy relationships and good relationships having friends around you.
- Seldom, almost never have conflicts because all problems are prevented (rather than curing them)
- Advise and discuss with one another any situations that needs more help.
- Happily together, because joy are been shared as and when there are.
- Help one another grow because blind spots are shared and helped one another to grow!!!


I believe you seldom find this group of people around roaming the streets, but I thank God that I am staying in such a street in the world. I literally am...


To be an apostle of love – Everything in this world needs love! (Yes? =P)
