opportunity to strive

A big word, in a big arena, for a big purpose...


Everyone has a shot in introduction.
But not everyone can make it to the climax of all intensity.


The best illustration is that you can play football.
No doubt you are playing football whether it is under your void deck, in field, or even in Singapore Stadium.
It makes a whole lot of difference if you are playing in Old Trafford, Manchester... That is a different league...

More than just hardwork, sometimes it takes an opportunity to strive.
Every can start from 0...
But after dozen years of hard work, you arrive at nominal level where you are happy at the achievement - that is when you make a choice... and opportunity either clicks in or not...

Thank God that I am in HOGC. I never missed out anything in the world... In fact, with all my heart, i have more than anything anyone can ever have...

I have the opportunity to strive to be great!

Good to great - a book by Jim Colins. I shall read it after my exams...
Carrying the church to a whole new level...

Give us 20 more years! You will regret not being with us now...
It is never too late to be back with God.
But it will be too late to miss out the GROWTH!

catch on the hike.
Greatness is coming out...from us.

mindset

The power of 30minutes!!!


I am in school, has 30 minutes of break and I am going to write a book... this is my book. =)

I love to write and type and talk, and rant my mind out... I think I would be a good writer... ha-ha.. Inspire to the millions, that's a vision man!

So mindset:
Positive or negative. It's your choice.
The negative easily hijacks our focus.
It takes no effort at all to be negative.
The human nature veers towards negative without any help at all.
If you want to grow weeds in your garden do nothing with your garden.
If you want to grow good plants, it takes effort.
It means removing weekds regularly.
Constant vigilance that keeps our minds and hearts free from the negatives.
Our minds are like soil.
Plant potatoes, reap potatoes.
Plant roses, reap roses.
- Phill Pringle

This is so important, everybody...The essense of life is make up of what you believe or want to do.
Fate is what God has given you.
Destiny is what you are going to do with it.
- Cheng Bin quoted it.
Isn't it so true? Your fate (vision and purpose) is what God had planned and gave you. But your destiny is what you do with it. You either follow your fate and grow with it, living your LIFE TO THE FULLEST potential. Or you decide not to go with it and do something else with your life... You grow your own garden of life.
Plant seeds, reap fruits.
Plant dreams, reap reality.
People changes all the time, and if you don't seize the opportunity of your life, you lose it... Opportunity do not come as often as wind does. Opportunity is as rare as tornado or natual disaster. You do not control them as much as you do not control God...
You never know when God is going to speak to you and tell your the most important phrase in your life. And this phrase shall be follow you till the end of days.
This phrase is your vision.
Raise up a generation of people who will give God the best years of their lives and God will use this generation to impact all levels of society and all walks of life.
- Pastor How and Pastor Lia.

What is yours?

Your potential and promise is fickle. People change, you never get it back the same it was... So your vision, your destiny CAN BE destroyed by your own hands.
And what is it that is powerful to destroy dreams and visions.
It is your mind.

Do not underestimate your mind. Every wrong move cause and affect. Warning won't help much. Consequence has gone since long.
That is why the greatest asset anyone can have is not money, not property or whatsoever, but it is knowledge...
The knowledge of the power of your mind. Once you know it, you can tap on it.
The knowledge of God. If you know more (I am saying more because you can never God entirely), you will find the joy and freedom of your life.
The knowledge of truth, of life, of animals, science, studies, economics, etc... Every knowledge helps you in some way or another.
Knowledge makes up your mind... If your brain has no knowledge, it is as good as dead...

So what are you filling inside your mind today? Ask yourself... What are you telling yourself. Dreams? Visions? God's words? Or sorrow, complains, petty stuff?

The power of mind. Small enough to be neglected, but big enough to change the world.
So small that millions of people in the world neglected it and are not living to their fullest potential in God nor in freedom.
So big, that nothing is impossible - space shuttle, inventions, miracles, growing a CHRUCH to 750,000 members... What more so is impossibility?
For as he(a man) thinks in his heart, so is he.
- Proverbs 23:7

Whatever good that is come to your mind, do not let it leave...
As a farmer keeps his farm clean of weeds, so shall we keep our mind faith-filled
As a farmer sows, tills, waters, observe, take care of the EMPTY ground day and night, so shall we influence, absorb, learn, pump up faith into our negataive minds.
As a farmer dreams on a great harvest for he only sees an empty ground.
So shall we dreams on our destiny in God for we only see routines and problems.
Nonetheless, every month passes, and the farmer sees progress and rejoices in good news.
So shall it be that whatever we sow into the kingdom of God shall reap miracles and instill joy which brings good tidings to all mankind.
Your hardwork always pay off in God's hands. - This is 1 knowledge I am giving you today...
God always work with us and makes all things easy! - This is knowledge 2.
All things just seem so possible! - This is knowledge 3.
Are they all in your mind already?
If not, start tilling a hole in your mind today, and plant the seeds inside.
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
- Galatian 6:9

Again, let me say to you, the word 'heart' in the Bible refers to 'mind'.
What does it mean not to lose heart. It is telling us not to lose our mind! So how do we hang on to the future, dreams, and potentials... You got to have the knowledge of the truth of God, you got to keep your mind, you got to:
look towards the vision in Hebrews 12:1-2,
keep your focus in James 1:6-8,
guard your heart in Philippians 4:6,
strengthen yourself in James 1:2-4,
believe in Philippians 4:13

Your mind collects your past, controls your present, configures your future.
The most powerful thing God has given us...
is the...
control.............
over...................................
our...............................................................
mind.

I spent more than 1 hour on this... ha-ha. Hope you enjoyed it.

July 18th

Argh... 9 days since I last pressed down my thoughts...
Let it be this day to photocopy my brain over here... I'm ready...

had a church builders' service...
don't ask me how was it... if you missed it, you REALLY missed it... Even if anyone were to share with you, it would just be a mere 20% of the entire real GOD moving in the Spirit.

Tears, revival, connection, glory, honor, GROW was floating in the hall...
darkness, greed, backsliding were leaving... They were not KICKED out involuntarily... amen.

Sometimes it pays to ponder whether all that you do in life, is it really honored?
if you do things in the 'open', people definitely can see. But is that the real you?
if you do things in the 'secret', people definitely do not see you. This, I presume, should be the real you.
For the latter, would you do the same if you were in the 'open'. what is the real you?
And if you do not get honored or nobody even knows what you've done, would you still have done something good?

I am grateful that God assures us that whatever we do in the 'secret', the Father sees in Heaven and glorifies us in the 'open'... Human yearns for assurance, and glory... It's borne into us... Nonetheless, lift up all glory to God. it is more worthy to have 1% of God than 99% of ourselves. You are a creation, you have no power to survive... ha-ha. I sound so pathetic.. But it is true - human has no control over their own lives. They only have control over their ACTIONS. God has control over LIVES.
I love God la... He is faithfulness never fails, through it all... If you don't believe me, you try Him. I would love to see the genuine smile in your face when God SHOWS you something.

I am not reading the book on Lester Sumrall's life... it was a birthday gift from pastors this year
! I have got awesome Pastors la... So do you... ha-ha... Don't need to be jealous.

Anyway, this book really inspires me and more than that, it is what Pastors words that they write in the book, engraves in my heart. If you know harry Potter's movie... There is this scene where Harry was punished to write down countless times "I will not lie again" using this special pen by the bad crazy female prof... The gross part is that whenever Harry scribbles it on the paper, the words will be carved on the back of his palm magically... WAH... ouch...
it definitely bleeds...

But I was just trying to tell you... Pastors' words are like that pen to me... What they write on books, cards, SMS, pulpit, are supernaturally engraved into my heart... It flows with the issues of life...

It is a lot of faith and prayer... you never know how God moves... no man can ever fathom... But it is the joy of going nearer and knowing more every now and then... It makes your life..


I really talk a lot... Let me end here... Ha-ha... Actually i feel that i do not talk a lot... I THINK a lot, and type fast... ha-ha. I don't actually say out.. ahah... My habit..

So... never forget July 18th...
It is also Roy's birthday! =) happy birthday Roy!

top 3 concerns:
1) Spiritual adoption - family, siblings
2) Prayer Meetings
3) Inspire

an exciting halfyear

Just finished my lesson, staying in school to finish up some school work so i can be TOTALLY FREE to do things!!!

there are so many things on my mind... Argh.. growing the CG! Hanging out with the fabulous people in the CG...

yvonne...

nicholas,...

chin wee,...

shu qing,...

jun hui,...

bla,...

bla bla,...

bla bla bla......

the list keeps going on............

Taking more things on staff also gets me excited. There is going to be a super exciting meeting this friday with dominic!!! I can't wait to see our church moves on to the next level... up up, and away... suddenly thought of soccer. there are seasons for great players, and seasons to rest...
For us... we are the top of the league for 12 consecutive years already! More to come... wahaha.
We are like the "All blacks" in rugby;
Manchester in Soccer;
Lakers in Basketball;
Federer in tennis;

But too bad, they do lose sometimes. We never... that's simple.
Losing is not in our dictionary... All things, good or bad, happens for a reason. You must be able to draw the reason out of it, and keep yourself from falling into the out-of-the-world losing mood... Never, i say to you, never.

With so many wonderful people in my life, i never lose out! I have pastors, charleston, Roy, Nicholas Lee sf, Chris, Xiao hong, roderick, ai lin, su ling, chin wee.... the list keeps going on again...
With them, my life is just never the same again.
And how can i forget my Father... He has never failed me, but always testing me and proving me to be better than I thought.
I want to make Him proud... yeah...

Cool day, just getting more excited everyday... ha-ha... i shared with some people about the interesting incident in the toilet...

Through the reflection on the floor, i know there is a guy sitting on the toilet bowl on the next cubicle besides me... i could only see his hands because it was moving up and down, like some tai chi move... HA-ha... that was cute...
It is so interesting how people behave when noone is seeing... at the end of the day, just be yourself... If it is not good, keep it up. if it is bad, then change. the key is SIMPLE.

talking about the word SIMPLE, i saw Clemen and Nicole - such rich couple, but so simple and devoted to God. They owe a property in sentosa cove, but they wear normal pants and shirts to church on weekend. It is presentable (definitely), but no SHOCK-the-WORLD fashion or whatsoever. This is simplicity... That's inspiration... Ask them how they really grow to become who they are today. they tell you, it is the inspiration from pastors!
I am beyond words...

People are so important...
It is even important to know who are THE people around you...
I won't elaborate how life-changing it is, to know who are the people IN youR heart... that you model after, get inspiration from.

It changes your life...
let this post change your mindset, change your soul...
Let the HS stir your spirit.
Ley YOURSELF eliminate your sinful body...
In all, you create a new..................................You - with a capital Y, who represent God in your life, in spirit, body and MIND.

see ya. i am running to July, August, Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec... It is coming soon. I can't waste it... God has marvelous plans... you should run along with me too... Pastors are ahead already... Let's catch up withthem. I know we never will, but we want to...=)

Mind.

where your day starts at 12.56am

How do you get awake at 12.56am?
Where the whole world is about to turn it off for the next day, where another half of the world is still meddling with the night...

How do you WAKE UP at 12.56am... not physically, but spiritually and mentally.
I have just got it...

A direction to add a dimension which deals with my dreams. Discipleship!
Oh, how I Desire!

Wei Jie 2.0! I have the adoption already, in my Spirit.
As i look at the overall church org chart, I just have the desire to want to fill in the gap! Lengthen the cords! Carry the burden!

Well, I want to go and REST in God now... brb... =)


Who thinks spirituality > world? And Why?
