Romance, spice and oil

2009-10-09T20:19:00.002+08:00

Recalling what Pastor shared with us during 2006 Chinese New Year Reunion dinner... They prepared a hand-out with their thoughts on life and its titled the same as this blog post. But pastors words will always carry a heavier weight and convict on a Godlier power.

Romance
It is love...
Life is a journey.
We all want to be successful.
But what is life when you have success but have noone to celebrate with?
Life sure has its ups and downs. But what is life when you have noone to lean on, and overcome difficulties together? What would friends for? Why would God create family.
You need love in life...
You can't say you have love when you are alone. You have love someone. Family? Friends? Mates? People?
No man is a lone island.
We all need people. we all need love.
It is called Romance.

Spice
Food taste awful when it is raw.
They need flavoring. Salt enhances the taste of MOST foods. So do sauces.
They are the spices of gourmet. Without them, food taste bad. No one would look forward to eating.
Spices are the emotions in life. Without emotions, life is bad.
Spices are the colors around. Without colors, life is black and white. Dull.
Spices makes life fun.
Spices makes life colorful.
Spices makes life enjoyable.
Have emotions.

Oil
Oil lubricates. It is very important for machinery.
It makes things smooth.
Smooth is so important.
When something is not smooth, people get fed-up.
Imagine your family car breaks down every 5 minutes while your family is going out for dinner. Atmosphere turns sour, mood flies away.
What is oil?
Oil is like the chemistry that people can have with each other. Whenever you interact, have chemistry.
let people like you... don't offend people.
let people enjoy you... don't be self-absorb/ self-centered/ self-fish.
Oil is liken to the Holy Spirit... When the Holy Spirit is in your life, you become a nice person to hang out with.
It seems as though you have chemistry. It is true.
When you are a true born-again Christian, God is in you... your character change.
People like you.
You have chemistry
There is oil in your inter-relations.
You enjoy company.
company enjoy you.
Life is great.
You will love life.

You have 1 life... live it to the fullest. Don't waste it...
I live my life with my family... with my spiritual family too.
My Ang family.
My Heart of God Church family.
We love our lives.
We help each other enjoy lives.

You can do the same too.
Let Jesus help you.

Long fruitful day

step 2: Plan and think for them on how to bring them further (Moment: Character, revelation, leadership)

The rest... come and ask me...

What else did i do...
i help my parents cut newspapers.
went to find wee hoe for dinner and taught him A-math... woo. I still know my stuff (proving identities, trigo...) I feel so proud. haha.
Met Ai Lin to tell her plans for C5, what we did right, and we can improve on... We are so gonna grow!
Then roderick came along, we hung out, plan for Building Fund... Wee Hoe joined in and started getting so excited! and soon, I were hearing him crying out "i am falling asleep... my eyes are closing"... haha. he is so cute!

Need to finish up database...
Need to do 60days goal...
Need to sort out to-do list...

TAKE IT ALL...............
DO IT ALL....................

processes

2009-10-05T12:10:00.002+08:00

Service, Sermon, Sermonette, discipleships, teachings, comments, casual remarks, ministering, encouragement, shepherding, concerns.......... ALL helps you progress in your life. The only concern are 2 things:

2009-10-02T19:16:00.002+08:00

People placed into position. Structure set for process.
All over the place
But we are going to rock all over this world!

As a zone, we are going to grow! 300 is easy. I see it...

Playing in the Big Game

2009-09-25T02:17:00.002+08:00

Take 5 minutes to blog... I told myself. I want to blog out my thoughts. here it is...

Last few weeks have been really nice, thinking, expanding, finding ways to know myself and settle down. We always are.

1 thing for sure is I am loving to LIST things. I always have this piece of paper and pen with me, that whatever I need to do, I will write them down... It helps me to remember things. (Not to forget about it after writing down) So every week, I will be doing it, maybe twice a week... 2 different sheets of papers, 1 after another. To-do list never FINISHES! lest you are finished....

We must grow! We will grow! We want to grow!
Judges 5:2
1)When leaders lead in Israel,
2)and the people willingly offer themselves,
4)bless the Lord.

There are 4 statements here. Statement 3 is for you to fill in. Although in the bible, there are 3 statements, but I believe God is trying to tell us that we fill in that blank. That blank will signify WHY we bless the Lord... because of breakthrough, miracles, successes, achievements, prayers answered, etc...BLESS the LORD!

So leaders, please lead! Make things happen..
Members, lets follow the vision.. we are together in this..
This is our primary mission on Earth.

A few more thoughts:
ABC for good CG:
Atmosphere : atmosphere, hype, fun, excitement. (Does people enjoy themselves, love the CG)
Bonding: Closeness, relationship, share good news, and bad, share secrets. (Is there real relationship in the CG)
Connection: Physically and spiritually. (Does the CG literally meet up, and are together. When together, do they do spiritual things and connect to God, to church?)

Another "D" for leaders to note:
4D: Desire for growth, Desperate for breakthrough, Determination to hang on, then you will Discover talents!

Got to go out!

WORTH

2009-09-14T23:48:00.002+08:00

Feeling a lot of 'worth' recently.

Things are worth fighting for... dying for... tiring for... suffering for...

passion fuels it

rewards entice it

satisfaction brings a smile

BIGGER hearts prepared for it

BIGGER minds imagine it

BIGGER territory claims it

What is worth you spending time for?

Run after Him

What is worthy of your praise?

Worship Him

What can your worth become?

Guard your heart. All glory goes to Him.

What will become of me?

A servant leader for Him.

1 corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

common to man

Every temptations (in the form of problems, difficulties, challenges) are common. They have either happen to you or others before. You are not the only one facing it. it is normal to face problems, so face it.

- Exams are COMMON! Get over it.

- Objections will come! "Blessed are those who are persecuted, for their rewards are the kingdom of Heaven".

- Faith leaks! It is the same as digestion. Food goes into your mouth, into your stomach, and [leaks] out through your intestines and rectum. Do you cry and complain and say you don't want to eat anymore because it comes out all the time? NO!! You eat more to replenish!

IT IS THE SAME AS FAITH. You attend services, CGs, meetings, fellowship, Quiet Time, faith goes in... once in a while, it leaks... you replenish it!

- the more hungry you get, the more you want to be filled! its human psychology, don't rewire your humanity as an excuse to skip services. It is obviously the Liar's plan to get you stumbled.

not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able

God will not allow you to go through problems that you cannot handle? How do I know that? Think about it this way... Imagine there would be 10 suns burning the Earth, Sharks bigger than World Trade Center, Mosquitoes as big as a double decker bus, wouldn't we all have died?

Now think of it this way - if you are the bad guy, wouldn't you want to have all the above mentioned TOOLS to kill your enemies (the good guys)?

The devil could do anything... BUT, God allows and/or disallows... That is why certain problems happens at certain times for certain people in certain manner totally different from others for a certain PURPOSE!

God's purpose of allowing temptation is not to kill you, but to stretch your character and trust in Him.

make the way of escape

God will surely provide a route for you to escape, because like I mentioned above. He is not out to kill you. Sometimes (or rather many times), He wants us to hang out and find the 'exit sign'... It takes patience, it takes trust, hope, love, etc...

James 1:2-3

My brethren, count it all JOY when you FALL INTO VARIOUS TRIALS, knowing that the TESTING of your FAITH produces PATIENCE

I am living for something worthwhile!

What are you living for?

Another weekend but it is another WEEKEND

2009-08-31T23:18:00.002+08:00

I have been attending services for 4 years already. was talking to valerie cheong this afternoon, sharing follow up and talking about life... we talked about commitment and making covenant with God. there and then, i recalled my covenant with God that I will never miss a single service. trully, i lived up to that... time has really passed.

it just dawn upon me... i have been to at least 228 "normal" services, excluding big events like FOP, emerge, conferences, seminars, bible studies, vacation bible school, BMTs, AMTs, prayer meetings, etc...

What was sad is that I can hear people say they feel bored during services... What about me? well, honestly, I don't feel bored. I am more than excited. Every sermons bring a new life to my being, it brings the sun up when it is down. It gives another purpose to live my next week - as I try to change myself to be better - to be like my Lord Jesus...

It adds another level to my principles - i love knowledge, and teachings and wise sayings.

I love to prove wrong people right by using the right method, the right way, the right words, the right principles, to the right side of life. sometimes, they just love to turn left... no wonder Jesus says, walk the narrow path, do not turn...

Life will definitely be easier if there is only 1 path.

But that will mean no challenge, no willingness, no true-felt feelings and passion, and desire.

Tests are good.

Tests shows the truth.

you are hardworking student.

you are a lazy student.

there is no bad student.

just lazy.

I love tests (feeling a pinch in my stomach =P)

but i love challenges.

it brings me further

i love bumps and shakes in life.

my goal is to make it to the end.

that grows patience. (James 1:2-3)

Imagine a rollder-coaster ride moving on ground level, going straight then right, then left then straight then straight some more, then right, the right, then up 1 metre high (only), then left, then left again, then straight, then down 1 metre, then left, then straight. you would have reached the station... how fun is that?

Life is like a roller coaster. we all get to the end. you can choose to go the EXCITING way, or the simple boring, unexciting way.

I want to change the world!

I want to make an impact.

My roller coaster will SHOCK you upside DOWN!!!

Make sure you wear the seat-belt

Revelation overflow...

2009-08-28T01:40:00.002+08:00

Had an interesting idea to blog...

Post all my revelations!!! and my thoughts.. Sounds really good... haha... am typing with a bandaged index finger, accidentally slice off some skin just now. ooo...

1st note off my Handphone

LEAD

Not everyone is leader-leader, but everyone is a follower.
Not everyone is the kind that makes a decision and everyone in the whole world follows, like Obama, or president, or Pst Cho? haha... (everyone is a leader over themselves, that is not discussed in this scenerio)

But everyone definitely follows someone. Either their parents, siblings (usually older), friends, pastors and/or leaders...

So... not everyone is a leader-leader, but am sure all are followers.

That makes the ultimate leader-Jesus.

He do not need to follow anyone. He is God Himself and He came down and lived in a human body. Imagine God living as a human to identify with us... So He follows Himself...
Therefore, human leadership is the carrying of God's burden. - exodus
Moses was a GREAT leader, he led 4 millions people out, but he call it - serving God.

lead your life. Make decision.

FAITHFUL
For much is given, much is required.
If God has given you talents, its your honour to use it wisely. If someone gave you money, use it wisely, fruitfully.
- If not, its disobedient to God, as God tells us to be fruitful.
- frustrating. When something doesn't work as it should.

faithful to what is other man's.

be faithful to what is other man's and God will bless you yours.

Got to find your own talents and giftings. God is judging us according to our faithfulness.

God judged us same according to the talent that He gave us.

faith-root word.
To be faithful means to keep doing

going out soon

2009-08-24T12:09:00.002+08:00

We had a great weekend! Pastor taught us the 4 part of a BIGGER series.

This time is territory.

last week was heart.

previous 2 weeks were emphasized on mindset.

We are territorial beings. God knew it all along. You can see that in the Bible...

I love the "feel something is true - then realised it has already been in the Bible" feeling... GOd always amazed us all the times. So what God likes are descendants and territories. We hold our grounds. Not in LORDING, and selfishness (part 3 has taught you about mercy), but in taking authority and having successes in life.

Owning something does not necessarily mean occupying it.

That will be sad if you saw you own your house, but you CANNOT occupy it because some bad guys or burglars have occupied you and keep you away. Its the same with us human beings.

God intended us to be a good steward of our body, soul and spirit. But sometimes we let evil thoughts occupy us and control us... "cheng he ti tong" - chinese idiom. haha...

So, take charge of your lives. If you ever feel hard to do so, that is why you need Jesus. He is the Lord of lords, God of all... He can help you barge the intruder out of anything. I love my God. He is my Protector.

Another cool phrases from Dominic's Zone F preaching.

If you are sinning, you will not pray.

If you are praying, you will not sin.

How true? People who are sinning are caught in it. They might feel guilty and shun from God and their leaders. They don't pray...

People who are praying are captivating their minds under the obedience of Christ, alligning their mind to God, and growing their spirit.

Spirit > body (flesh, lust, selfish desires, bad intentions, stupid ideas)

Spirit wins, no sins...

Enjoy... tuesday and wednesady are my 2 exam papers.

Manufacturing Logictics & Simulation

Managing Inforamation in Organization

I owe you!!!! wahahaha.... Grade A...

Going to St Gabs... you guys are exciting.. we are trying bak chor mee at serangoon. heard its nice... I love good food. hahahah...

God, help me study!

2009-08-20T15:40:00.002+08:00

Jesus, I trust you...

I believe all things are possible... This is what I preach, this is what i live my life...

Matt 6 "Do not worry"

James 1:2-3 "Count it all joy when you fall in various trials (tests), for it produces patience..." (writer's emphasis)

Matt 25 "Parable of the talents" God has given us talents and giftings... And when we are faithful to the small things, we will be entrusted with much!

So be faithful to the small things like exams and tests, and problems with life (WITHOUT neglecting services, CG, your families, your leaders, your LIFE), and God will give you big things...

what are the big things.... woohoo... amazing... wonderful dreams...

your passion! Millionaire... pastor... church of 100,000, leaders meeting in singapore indoor stadium... WOOhoo!

Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, the mind has not conceived what the Lord has promised to those who love Him!

Study now!!!!

Love others! Respect is important.

In our Behind the Scenes series, CNN correspondents share their experiences in covering news and analyze the stories behind the events. CNN's Cal Perry reports on a refugee camp in Islamabad, Pakistan.
A child in the camp plays. The lack of clean water in the camp presents the danger of typhoid, a doctor says.

http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/08/14/pakistan.christians/index.html#cnnSTCText

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- They are not war refugees, not displaced by violence; rather they believe they're here because they are Christian.

A mother of two sobs as she tells us, "I have no money. No money for books or uniforms to send my children to school." It's around 110 degrees Fahrenheit in this squalid camp in downtown Islamabad, where 2,000 Christians have settled, literally in the middle of the road.

The Christian population of Pakistan is only 5 percent of the overall population. Overwhelmed by a Muslim majority, at times they face violent attacks. Other times, they believe they're expelled from their lands -- faced with a distant and dark future.

This group has ended up living in tents for the past 3 months.

They say the government kicked them off their land without warning: only because they are Christian. The government tells a different story, saying that they were given plenty of warning. Further than that, they say they will take care of this problem, a problem they are well aware of.

The minister of minority affairs, Shahbaz Bhatti, says, "We are constitutionally bound to protect the life and property of the minorities and to look after the interests of the minorities in this country. Because they played a role in the founding, they are equal citizens of the country. Yes, there is a problem, but we are trying to solve those problems."

The truth is, regardless of any religious strife, people are dying of poverty in this camp. Two have died since the group settled here, and children lay in the sun, totally exposed to the sun, suffering slowly. We brought a doctor to the camp; he seemed stunned, both at its location and the conditions.

"I think there's a danger here, especially with some of the younger children, that they could just die from dehydration or from all kinds of infections," says Dr. Rixwan Taj. "I am very surprised, really because this is the center of Islamabad, just right in the center. And every facility is not but 10 minutes from here."

The water the camp is using to survive on is a broken pipe that runs underneath the road and out one side. At the camp, the water is used for drinking and washing. It happens to run over a pile of trash and directly down into the makeshift toilets, which are two holes in the ground. Taj tells us the obvious: Typhoid will come to this camp -- the conditions are ripe.

Other countries of course deal with religious strife; minorities all over the world face an uphill struggle. But here, with the addition of poverty, in the oppressive heat -- in an over-crowed camp on the side of the road in downtown Islamabad -- it seems that much worse.

A little girl stares into our camera and rhythmically says, "Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah." Her religion teaches her that "the poor" will inherit "the kingdom of heaven."

Heaven seems a long way off

here i come.

Bigger

2009-08-09T00:48:00.002+08:00

Pastor How always lift up our thoughts and change our mindset.
today was really BIGGER.

mindset is your mind that is set...
that is why sometimes you need to break it to change it.

in order to have a new bed in your room, you need to change the old one with the new. you can't possibly have both... old wineskin cannot mix with new wine...

renew your mind...

think bigger.

hate smallness.

70 is too little!

33 is too little!

$100 is too little!

10 leaders are too little!

2 CGLs are too little!

I want 100!
I want 50!
I want $1000
20 leaders then feels more like it...
5 CGLs is okay.

Want may not necessarily means materialism.
Wanting for a Godly purpose is good.
Want more prosperity to bless others is a good deed.
Want more leaders to love people more is a great desire.

Met Ivan to discuss about F2 CEG... it was inspiring and encouraging. It was role-playing too. Ivan just showed me what a zone manager does, and what a leader would do... So many things that I need to buck up and expand...

good thought of the day and encouragement for hogc leaders:
there are many churches with only 100 people or less, so all those that are leading above 30 or so should thinking like a senior pastor! =)

Think Big...

So many things I want to do

2009-08-04T20:53:00.003+08:00

2 more weeks and I need not go back TP for another 2 months!

2009-08-04T04:49:00.000+08:00

Saw a few inspiring twits by Mr Robb Thomson.

Here is what he preached to his congregation earlier:
1) Emotions are the prisoners of focus. (Wow, that is so true. Focus reigns over emotions)
2) Transformation is the result of being cut to the heart by Heaven's truth... The proof of its presence is a changed mind... (wooohooooo..... )
3) Spirituality maturity is not the ability to hear God's voice, but the discipline to execute its intentions (James 1:22)

Here are some more on transformations:
1) Transformation is the result of being cut to the heart by Heaven's truth... The proof of its presence is a changed mind...
2) Nothing can bring more positive change in life than the daily intake of bible doctrine...
3) Jesus has won the victory, but leaves it to us to enforce it.
4) It is only until you stop listening to yourself and begin talking to yourself that Change will take place in your life... (THIS IS SO SO TRUE! 4Dimension, change-taking thoughts)

What should i tell myself now?
.
..
...
DO YOUR PROJECT!!!!

a whole of computer!

2009-08-03T23:25:00.002+08:00

Been sitting in front of the computer the whole day!

let me just blog for a while... 5 minutes... i time myself...
been doing so much of dream weaver and touching on photo shop today too.
I feel like a programmer so much!

Somehow, i felt like my course is crazy. Business process and system Engineering is enough already, and we have to learn Information Technology now to do up a web-page for our project. And when you do a web-page, you sure need pictures to design and decorate it...
My course can indirectly be called Business process and system Engineering, with Designing InfoTech. Multi-talented!

muahaha.. okay. 3 minutes up...

midnight oil is burning...

powerful insight

2009-07-28T17:38:00.001+08:00

I realise my blog is not updated for quite some time... so i just post what is good...
saw this post by my good friend - nicholas lee shao fu...
read and be inspired!!

- During my one hour of free time by Nicholas Lee

Many many thoughts...
Freezing temperature in OC. i like the OC :)
Anyway this is my first note, awesome stuff.

Check out what i've stumbled upon.
CHC audio sermon - Maturing in character.
" you are sitting with your best friend and your worst enemy at the same time, its not the devil and Jesus but it is you! we are the our own's best friend yet at the same time we are our own worst enemy.. God doesnt force us to do things that we dont want to do. Doing things that God wants you to do? Its all depends on OUR CHARACTER.

Build our character and work on ourselves! its the most important yet its also the most easiest thing to do. We also judge ourselves by our intention and we always give ourselves the benefits of our intention. And if you can day by day intending to change and build your character... you will day by day head towards hell without even knowing! WOW! so dont give yourselves any more excuses. work on our character! Personalities and charisma will come and go with your age BUT character is all that you will have left when you have nothing left.

Another thought, 2 Tim 2: 1- 2 "Commit to faithful men who are able.."
You cannot build a ministry... you cannot build a marriage... you cannot build a CG or even a zone with unfaithful people. Why? Because faithful is the cornerstone of character!
The constant in maturity is change! if you dont change, you will never mature.
CHANGE IS NOT CHANGE UNTIL ITS CHANGED!
Its difficult to live with change but we cannot do without change!"

Awesome week

2009-07-13T12:58:00.003+08:00

Everyone is posting about how great last weekend was, how our Pastors are our heroes, how God is moving.

Let me take 1 step forward and increase faith in everyone by sharing what God and Pastors have INFLUENCED and CHANGED us and GROWN the church. Whatever they do are not futile, but fruitful; whatever they do have an everlasting effect; whatever they do influences.

many many good news
- Poh Guang is 1 bumblebee now. He loves God so much, always reaching out. He brought a friend, shaun, last week and he came for Friday service with DR AR Bernard, and saturday Zone F service AND SUNDAY service with DR AR Bernard! Talk about being hungry for God! He is a new friend! More than that, on monday itself, Poh Guang called me and told me that Shaun is talking to his friends and telling them to visit Poh Guang's church! He is trying to bring his twin brother too. The power of revelation. God and Church are just so good to him. Poh Guang created this revival. I exalt him! Awesome. Oh, did I tell you. He is so connected with God. Of course, many of you might have heard of how Roy prayed for him during zone camp and his should was healed because of numerous dislocations. And subsequently, he was worshipping and he saw a bright light shone past. He thought it was God so he prayed and said "God, if that is you, walk past 1 more time". This time, the bright light came and stood right in front of him. And whats more, he felt an urge to raise his hands higher to worship. Then after some time, he felt tired and put his hands down, but that "light" aka angel of God or God, spoke to him to raise his hands, both hands to worship me... He just did it readily and enjoy the thick immense intimacy with God...

- Victoria is buzzing with energy. She is hungry for more follow ups. we did 3 lessons within 7 days. last one is coming soon. She is reading the bible. check out some of her posts at her facebook account. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=552190576&ref=ts
She has a conviction about God, His love, His trust, His faith, destiny... 1 day, she is going to be a strong pillar in church. She brought a friend last week, and is having more coming. When you taste some good food, you sure want to introduce them to your friends... She is simply introducing her good EXPERIENCE in church to whoever around her life. This is family, this is where our destinies are formed. Just recalled that Victoria read a book "Purpose driven life" by Rick Warren, and at 2AM!! 2AM!! she was so hungry for God that she messaged me and told me she wants to be more like Jesus and wants me to teach her as much as possible. she couldn't sleep, and kept reading, kept praying, just thinking about her future in God... Meet her for yourself and you know what i mean. =P

- Michelle yan is loving. she just loves buying things for people. bought apples and wrote card for Yvonne, her friend who was sick last week, and went all the way to her house at some isolated private estate... she buys drinks for people who they seemed thirsty. she buys jia jia liang teh for people who has sore throat. isn't she caring... God will use her wonderfully!

- Hui Hang is different!!! finally. he first came 7 months ago... wasn't convinced about God... what i love most is that he has a personal encounter with God. He came for last saturday service but wasn't so willing to come for sunday one. so he prayed and tell God: "God, if you really want me to come, then you wake up..." then he set his alarm clock at 12pm... Guess what. he woke up right before the alarm clock rings!! Praise the Lord... he was so excited and called ziling to tell her. of course, ziling replies of course lah... then you must come... sadly, he went back to sleep... thank God for Ziling who is so careful and thoughtful that she called to make sure hui hang is ready. so just nice, she woke him up then he quickly changed and come down for service. and GOD MOVED>.... he wanted to get a bible, and after service, Pst Jamaal was talking to him and making friend, then he asked if hui hang was new and if he had a bible.. hui hang said no and pst jamaal straight away bought 1 teens study bible FOR HIM!!! together with pastor How, they blessed him... isnt that cool. when God wants to get you growing as a christian, He made sure He get to you... haha...

- Nicole is a changed person. renewed passion for God. she brought 2 friends last week. wilson was good? I haven't get to talk to them but I hear good news.

He told us so excitedly that last week he gave $5 for offering and when he reached home, his father asked him if he had money. he said yes, no need to give more. but his father still gave him.... $50!!!! 1000percent! You can never outgive God... He is excited, he wants to give $50 this weekend... cool.

Prayer changes mountains - a collections of miracles
- C5 and C50 started fasting and praying 2 weeks ago before DR AR Bernard weekend. During the weekend with DR AR Bernard, their attendance grew by 3 each!
- C5 grew from 7 to 10.
- C50 grew from 5 to 8.
- 2 friends joined us for the 1st time. we just love making new friends.
another friend, wei bin, from Rp joined us back for the 2nd time. He was first brought by Ken. However, Ken did not come back. So what is the miracle. despire the stranger-feeling, we managed to befriend and earned his trust and he came with us (knowing that we would not sell him off at indonesia or batam. HAHA). AND HE loves the service. he learned about faith, about loving others. 1 day... 1 day... he will be like us...
- kelvin yap was supposed to go out with his friends on friday night. we prayed. just prayed and keep encouraging. on friday 3pm, it happened. he messaged and said he is no longer going out with his friends. he would like to join us for service! Praise the Lord.
- Kong Him... finally stepped out of his comfort zone and came with us alone. he is always with his good friend sherman and would never do things without each other. when it comes to church, they sure find that an excuse to not come. well. God changes and grows people. Well done Kong Him... you have grown independent! Hope you ENJOY YOURSELF... love your life.

Hmmm... is there anymore? there are just so many news... oh yes... sebastian. he just loves our church. he has been to many churches and seen many. but after last few weeks.... he has PERSONALLY encounteed the THICK THICK anointed presence of GOD in our church. indeed... God do NOT visit our church, He literally STAYS here... thats what i love about us.

Poh kian... created a scene in yuying sec... i believe God will use him to change his school. he has 1 year more to go... it is possible. be strong and of good courage, poh kian!

there are many many more.. all these were just in the past 1-2months... awesome God.. awesome people...

All the leaders... without you, these would not have happened.
Christopher, Elson, Roderick, Hong Hwee, Ai Lin, chin wee, shuqing, bellrarie, michelle yao, elaine lin, and all those who helped out in the CG like suk wah, grace seah, weimin, gordon, ziling, sam wong, suling.

lets take whatever Pastors teaches us and change the world...
we are already doing it good... just keep doing and do more!

Determination

2009-07-08T13:54:00.002+08:00

It is not how you start, but you end.
Everyone has a fair chance to start. You were born. God created you, and your mother gave birth to you. That's the fair chance.
Anything after that, it is your choice, it is how you end it.

This is a video of someone who did not give up his race.

The amazing 400m race from the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Britain Derek Redmond tears his hamstring, then gets up to try to finish the race.

“My country did not send me here to start the race, my country sent me here to finish it.” - Derek Redmond

Pst Kent mentioned his story last weekend. Enjoy!

Life

2009-07-01T09:23:00.000+08:00

A young girl was found alive amidst the yemen plane crash... She is going t have a destiny in God.. John 15:16.... God, bring her this verse.

cherish life, people... Don live it. Make use of it... Live a significant life...

Small fish in a big pond

2009-06-30T12:50:00.002+08:00

Just being thinking a lot again recently...
Maybe its the age hormones thingy... I am like a small fish in a big pond.
I am 20 already.
I am entering in the gap of life where i got to choose what I really want.
There are so many things to set...

*Listening to "New Divide" by Linkin Park too...
...........give me reason..............(why i should do this or that?)
Now that is conviction.

So many things to set...
My career...
My family...
Who or what is going to affect my decisions in life...
Who am I following...
What do I want to get serious about... (and who)
What is my future going to become...
How am i getting there...

Money seems like a big part, it requires taming.
If you tame it well, it will be an asset to you, instead of liability.

Prosperity with a purpose.
Malachi 3:10-11 lived out in my life the past 2 weeks...
2 scenario
1 principle

Scenario 1: My father gave me a hundred bucks all of a sudden, just for fun... Increase income.
Scenario 2: My father helped me paid my HP bill of eighty on top a hundred... The key is I pay my own HP bills, so that is what make this miracle. Reduced expenditure.

Principle: Sow and you reap. You can never outgive God. 1 seed dies, and many birthed forth from there.

Lets get serious.

Readings

2009-06-23T12:40:00.004+08:00

Inspired by pastor Lia... went reading Channel News Asia.

Read many regarding H1N1...
China closes school because 30 over primary students got infected by it - God, I pray for them!

Chris brown pleads guilty to assaulting Rihanna - Get a life...

North Korea is getting quite serious with their pride - Can someone just get Kim Jong saved?

Many new phones - Looks super duper cool and amazing! But i am saving up my money for something more important and significant. In my life, I have this phrase:
"Others can, I cannot".

South Korea has a case of euthanasia. Where they allow brain-dead people to die. The story that went online was this 76 years old woman who has been in coma since last year February. She is been kept alive artificially (by respirator). So they decided to release the respirator... Hmmm, confucius will definitely object this. How about Christ?

Lastly, the one that singaporeans will like and hate... Our health minister Khaw Boon Wan has announced that Schools will go on as per normal.
His advice to Singaporeans is to carry on with their lives normally, but keep up the high standard of personal hygiene.
I hear a sigh.... haha..

Singpapore is really hot, I need my drink now!
Back to project...

day

2009-06-21T19:37:00.002+08:00

Its sunday 21st June. 7.55pm... my mother is behind me watching taiwan drama series; my brother and his girlfriend are buying dinner back. My dad is out somewhere unknown... My sister is out somewhere too... I am at home but feels like going out...

Can't expect that time has past so fast... My last post was on May 19... That is like 1 month ago... I am beginning to think that time rockets... flying is slow compared.

So many things have happened for the past 1 month. I had my term tests, had 3 weeks of holidays, spend many time with people, had zone camps, entered into new grounds, broke into new attendance, withdrew from chalky waters, setting platforms, springboarding! Every descriptions have a meaning to it man... haha... let me update:

i) term tests are normal... I don't have much to say. Ow... rushing projects, due tomorrow. Want to settle it fast!

ii) 3 weeks of holidays. is ending in 4 hours time! haha... By the time I sleep, it would be over. When i wake up, I will be going school! ah... don't tell me about monday blues. I can't afford it anymore. (skipped too much). hahahaha...

iii) Spend many time with people. I am out everyday. what else do you need to know? Its my passion

iv) zone camps. Awesome! Delicious, Exciting, Outrageous. Haha... Had so much time hanging out, playing, crapping, laughing, getting to know more people. More importantly, the services were life-changing.
Pastor Troy brought us up 1 level higher in the Spiritual realm.
Charleston brought us up 1 level higher in our life.
God is so important...

Spirit is greater than soul
Control your mind
your mind controls what controls you

Faith and passion and compassion for the people
Faith to believe
Passion to run
Compassion for people
Guard them in your hearts.
Do not lose it.

NEED leads to DESPERATE leads to HUNGER FOR GOD leads to BREAKTHROUGH leads to GRATEFULNESS leads to FRUITFULNESS

Cutting edge
Charge! Do not hold back! Just do it!

Expand
aH..... sho ko ra ba han deh.!!!!!!!!!

v) entered into new grounds
Helping the church as a whole, other zones... Summer Programs, Zone Camps... taking ownership, THIS IS MY HOME!

vi) broke into new attendance
Growth!! C8 exploded. last month, they were only 14 to 15... Appearing June they are already 20 odds. Last week was 22! Now is hardwork, gratefulness, and connection!
The rest - its your turn now!!

Malachi 3:10 (For the pastoral)
Try me now in this if I will not open up the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessings (souls) that you will not have enough room (leaders) to hold it...

Bring it on GOD!!!! I am ready! I will get ready for it... Just bring the people in...

vii) withdrew from chalky waters
Reorganizing my life, streamlining my focus... Juggling my life issues. too many is dangerous. should take out some. focus on some. Have a clear vision.

viii) setting platforms
Foundations! Basics! Personal breakthrough! Individual revival! Character, Discipline! Link to next point.

ix)springboarding
I had this vision... after zone camps, right after de-brief. I saw that zone camps were like spring boards. We have been hopping on the boards, pulling the tensions... Now, we are ready to spring offfFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!
Thats what revival does to you! Springboarding effect! Cool eh!

Alright, shall stop here. going for dinner with bro and mum.. watching finding nemo. ahhaha

Drawing Near [Part 1]

2009-05-19T10:21:00.002+08:00

God desires to draw near to us... Through out Genesis to Revelations, the whole life time...

Little did we notice these things:

Exo 20:18
God saved Israel out of Egypt (Mark this), NOT to bring them to the promised Land... but God wanted Moses to bring them to the Promiser, in the wilderness.
That is why as you read their 40 years adventure, you will notice they encounter many miracles, and the most important one being at Mount Sinai where God CAME DOWN literally to find the Nation. Sadly, only Moses went up... but the Israelite were reluctant.

Another one...

1 Cor 12:2
Jesus speaks... you can find yourself idols and gods, but... only Jesus speaks to us... there is no other that speaks.

Again...

Exo 34:14
God is passionate about having a relationship with us!
That is why He sent Jesus down to SEEK us and to SAVE us...
Salvation is required!
But SEEKING comes first...! Even though we were still sinners...

God... I am loving You more than before!

RED RAIN

2009-05-12T17:27:00.002+08:00

Please do not miss this.

10 reasons why you must come for Red Rain Concert.

1. See a Rock Concert in a church (I bet you seldom or never seen this around)

2. If you think you are young, and you want to have some hype in your life

3. If you think you are old, and you want to have some life and feel young

4. If you are not (2) or (3), you can just join in the mass

5. If you are not (4), you probably do not know what you really want. So I am telling you now - JOIN US!

6. If you have something on, but you don't feel like doing that and you have run out of excuses to reject it, Red Rain will be a good reason

7. If you think (6) is really so bad, you don't like to reject people, then I got a message for you. If any of your friends invite you for Red Rain, you should not reject them. =P

8. If you look at facebook / friendster (though people hardly uses friendster now), and you can find at least 5 friends who are somehow linked to Heart of God Church or Red Rain, you should come. There must be some reason why your friends are here!

9. If you read (9), tried to find 5 friends but couldn't, you should come too. Because it shows that you are INTERESTED at least. It is enough for you to come.... =)

10. I guarantee you, you will get something more than just a concert, more than lights, more than hype, more than the music... It is beyond words description, you got to come and FEEL it yourself.

Recovery

2009-05-07T01:49:00.002+08:00

Just decided to blog about this for my dear friends and anybody to read...

Question: What happens when you fall? When you face a problem? When you encounter a difficulty?

I believe this is very realistic in life. Everyone of us will definitely get into this situation.

I am a faith-filled personnel.
I talk about solutions.
I care about recovery.
I desire breakthroughs.

I don't much bother about the problem itself, except the person that is victimized.. I would definitely care and concern if there is one... Other than that, I move on in life...

Tomorrow is a better day.
The future is amazing.
I want to change the world.

So what do i do when obstacles arise. What crosses my mind:

Problem can be seen as a stone. If you think the stone is bigger than you, than the problem will probably crush you.
But if you think the stone is about small enough for you to step over, then chances are you will overcome it.
Guess how I see it... I don't care how big or small the stone is... I will climb on top of it... Logic is simply because - if the stone is bigger, that makes me stand higher from the ground. I like to stand nearer to God! =)

Many times, the problem lies in the faith of the beholder. The problem is not with the problem itself, but it is in the person that sees the problem.
I am not sure if you understand what I am saying... But let me put it into an illustration.

Imagine with me a game creator and a simple game.
Most games created has a GOOD side and a EVIL side. Lets call humans against demons.
Usually the demons will seem to be winning so the humans will have to train themselves and fight again. They can go through round 1,2, then 3 and a fiercer-enough demons appear so the humans lose again... if the humans do not give up, they train harder, they will be able to win back and proceed to the next stage...
This goes on ALL THE WAY till the final stage where they fight the big boss! Even if they lose, they can train harder and come back to win...
MOST SENSIBLE game-creators will create the humans to win the demons (Good wins over Evil). Hence, no matter what happens, or how strong the evil forces are, the humans will sure have a way to win!

Lets come down to real life...
God is like the game-creator. He has created everything, terrain, creeps and all (i see a revival in DOTA gamers). Including humans and devil (and problems).
In the beginning, it may seem that humans are always having problems in life (all of you agree with me). But if you grow yourselves (level up) - grow in faith, in strength from God, you will be able to overcome the problems.
EVEN IF BIGGER PROBLEMS surfaces, you will also be able to WIN! The problem lies in yourselves - are you willing to grow yourself stronger than the problems!

God is sensible! He makes humans in His own image. We are over comers like God! We are born to be winners! You just got to grow into it, people!

So... the problem is you, and me and us! Do we have the faith-filled attitude and perspective (mark my words) to overcome in life... It is so important...

There are so many bible verses to support this.
But I just want to say this... Christianity is a relationship with God. Even if you fail, God will pull you back on track - so do not give up...

Hosea 6:1-3...
torn - God will heal
broken - God will bind
depress - God will brighten

In 2 days, God will revive you!
In 3 days, God will raise you up!

God has raised you up in a time like this to use you to change the world around you!

Mark my words... How does God raise you up higher? What can possible make you stand higher from the surface of the ground? What is between your feet and the ground?

It is the stone (problems).
So recover, my friends... no matter what you face in life...

John 15:16 (Jesus says) "you did not choose Me, but I have chosen you that you may go out there to bear much fruits, and that your fruits should remain. And whatever you ask the Father in My Name, He shall give it to you".

We all have a destiny, we can change the world around us... Only WE can change the WORLD around US.

In the letter "P" the "stone (o) is at the top which shows that the problem is overcoming you as in the meaning of "Problem". Whereas in the letter "d" the stone (o) is at the bottom which shows that the problem is below you, making you higher as in the meaning of "destiny".

When you have a destiny in God, your stones will not hinder you anymore. They lift you up many times... You are not disturbed by them simply because you have more important things to do in life!

Let's make history together Heart of God...

love on the rebound?

2009-05-05T11:08:00.003+08:00

From dictionary.com

—Idiom

on the rebound,

a.	after bouncing off the ground, a wall, etc.: He hit the ball on the rebound.

b.	after being rejected by another: She didn't really love him; she married him on the rebound.

So is your love on the rebound? Hmm... Maybe no? I am not rejected by any because I did not try to attach with any...

It is not wise to awaken love when time is not yet due.. Let's wait and see...

A very powerful phrase by Pastor Steve! Add on with my personal thoughts.
I would want to be like that kind of husband and father!!
Godly and loving.

Work hard

2009-05-04T13:54:00.002+08:00

Just finished school and am at the library checking my timetable.
Decided to post 1 determined statement before I start my work!

Constraint love - Constraint work - Constraint destiny

I want a drive.

I want a breakthrough.

I want my destiny.

I want to change.

I don't want to regret.

I don't want to give up.

I don't want to give in.

I don't want to be stuck.

It is all because God made me...
Let Your will be done... i pray... ...

Managing Information in Organisations

2009-04-27T14:38:00.002+08:00

Just when I was about to type down what I learn, the class suddenly ended... Ha-ha..

Nonetheless, let me blog down something...

1) Data
2) Information
3) Knowledge

Data is pure facts.
Information is the analysis, classifying, patters of data.
Knowledge is the application of information...

see ya...

exhortations

2009-04-24T07:10:00.004+08:00

woohoo... I am so excited now. waiting for Christian, we are going to racky... explore. I feel so much like full-time now. Able to "GO" anytime the church needs to get something done. Thank God, my friday lessons are all canceled so I don't need to SPECIALLY apply "OFF" for it. Ha-ha!!!

The past 2 weeks have been a CHANGE.
I am getting used to school.
I am changing the way I think.
I am changing the way I talk.
the way I see things.
the way I perceive, etc...

I feel different, but I feel good!

Thats why this quote is just so sensible:
"The only constant in the world is change". But well, God is constant too, He has, and will always be the same. But other than God, every other things changes all the time.

And that is good!
I sound like Genesis. [God created the heavens and God saw that it was good.] Lol...

Many random thoughts going through my mind, so I will just bombard them all out now before Christian arrives... It is good to be early! =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Pastor LIA!!!
I find it very hard to describe you, my spiritual mother!
The word "Wonderful" underestimates you!
"Wise" under-statement you!
If i were to say you are "loving", it is considered an insult...
If I really have to find some word to describe you, I might have to speak in tongues! Ha-ha!

You are so important in my life! You have changed me and given me life...
Thank you Pastor!

Whatever you focus on will grow!

2009-04-17T03:00:00.003+08:00

How many of you want to do great things in life? How many of you do actually have some form of dreams, be it those that you wish would come true, or those that you do not think will come true…
I believe all of you have dreams.
So do I.
I want to carry the burden of my Pastors and my leaders. I want to be a pastor – in that order.

You would have heard of Martin Luther King Jr’s famous speech “I have a dream” – his dream came true.
You would have heard William Wilberforce who dreamt and fight against the slave trade – his dream came true 4 days shortly after he died.
You would have heard of Pastor How and Pastor Lia who dreamt that one day we would have a “cross-shaped” stage – their dreams came true.

So how do you let that dream or goal of yours get born into reality…

First) FIRST. That’s right, it is not a typo, nor am I sleepy. You got to be willing to put it first in your life. If you do not want it hard enough, how would you be able to get it? How would you even deserve it if you get it.

Matt 6:33 “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. I believe your dreams are included in “all these things”.

So seek them first! Chase after your Godly visions and goals!

Second) Oblige. Many people hear this word and they sulk because no one likes to do something out of obligation. It doesn’t bring comfort to a soul.
When you are obliged to give, means that you do it because someone tells you so.
When you are obliged, you don’t do it willingly.
Oblige is the opposite of willingness.
Never feel oblige.
But before I kill the word “oblige” in your heart, how many of you want to hear why it is the second point to make your dreams real.
Open your ears and listen to me attentively (Or read carefully). If you really want to do something, you will not let it go, to the extent that you feel obliged to keep to it and never give it up.

It is like “Others can, I cannot”.
People can choose not to pray, nor tithe, but I don’t give myself a choice. I must do it if I want to be this...that... or that...
Obligation
If you feel that way towards your dreams, I believe strongly that your dream has a future! Because you never give up, and never give in!

Thirdly) Concentrate. I do not need to belabor this point. Give your attention, your mind, your energy and concentrate on what you want to achieve/accomplish.
Concentration is the secret of strength – Ralph Waldo Emerson (An American poet, lecturer, essayist)
If you are able to concentrate, you can do 1 thing well.
If you are able to muster the skill of concentrating as and when you want, you can do many things well.

Fourthly) Understand. It is not enough to have a dream and run after it. You need to understand the situation and find the best way to achieve your goal.
There is a Chinese sayings “Zhi di zhi bi, bai zhang bai sheng”. It means that you need to know your enemy, and yourself, then you can have successful victories. Understand the situation, understand your strength and weakness, so you can exalt on your strengths and work on your weaknesses, and enjoy winning your battles!

Fifth) Serious. Get serious. If you really want it, you get serious and make things happen. Willingness drives.
Willingness sparks energy!
Willingness speaks about the extra mile!
Only when you are serious about it!
When you are serious about this, you give up something else.
“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Are you serious enough to chase after your dreams.........and give up other things? You know what might hinder you...
So are you going to get serious?...I hope you do.

So how are you accomplishing your dream and destiny?
If you want to see it come true, you need to have the five points!

1) First
2) Obligation
3) Concentrate
4) Understand
5) Serious

Let me tell you, if you are able to FOCUS, you will be able to do great exploits for God!
It is the power of FOCUS that brings one far!
Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
That is why, whatever a man can imagine himself to be, he shall become.
It is the faith, 4dimension power!
The total mustering of energy and mind to do 1 thing that creates the change in it.
Whatever you FOCUSes on, will grow.

What are you FOCUSing everyday? How about today?

I had this inspiration all of a sudden so as a blogger, I will type it out. Ha-ha...
Interestingly, if you ask me where is my fav spot or location in life. I will ask you back, with whom it concerns with... Because if it is with man, i am not too sure, as it doesnt really matter, but if it is WITH GOD, i must say it is the toilet...

It is the place where I go to when I am down, when I am happy, when I am stuck, growing, depressed, delighted, whatever! It is where revelation comes, convictions are set... It is where I find God.. It is my secret place!

This inspiration came from there too. =P

So 1,2,3. Everyone has been talking about it for the past 1 to 2 months at least.
Let me tell you what is my 1, 2, 3.

They are:
1) Master
2) Mission
3) Mate

My no.1 always comes first, nothing can replace. In fact, when I think through my life, and really know why I love no.1, then I thought I might like no.2 a bit as they are related in some senes. But still, I like no.1 most! Then when time passes, no.3 will also come into the picture just to show that I really like no.1 and no.3 happens to be a support for that conviction. So why must I still have 1, 2 and 3 when I know I have my 1 already. It is to prove that aout of MANY CHOICES in life, you will still choose this 1. That makes it precious. 2 and 3 are important, i must say, but i never neglect 1!!

to be continued...

Photos

2009-04-08T22:41:00.002+08:00

Posted a few photos into my computer and decided to blog it out too because my Handphone cannot store more than 5 photos! Pathetic. ha-ha.. lost the memory card during some servicing checks...

Picture 1: 3 packets of tissues and 1 crumpled newspaper.

You can guess what it is. These were Su Ling's surprise birthday presents. Ha-ha. It was so funny! But the truth is... yet to be unveiled.. ha-ha. By the time Su Ling reads my blog, she will have know it already. Ha-ha. So Shhh....

Picture 2: Familiar to everyone who came to Heart of God Church before September 2007.

These 2 pictures are the lobby of FTMS house. If you recall the beautiful lights, and the 3 lifts. And seriously, it the building has turned into GE Money. And you actually needs to "tap" your card before entering the lifts. Aw... We couldn't explore upstairs. But well, the future is more amazing. Ha-ha.

Picture 3: Out of the blue, funny people.

This is a bicycle being chained to the poles of a "monkey bar". I wonder who did that. A bit creative, but quite unthoughtful? Hmmm...

Picture 4: Advertisement at Yishun Library. Funny! and thought-provoking.

The signs read: Please protect Library books.
Read and understand. =)

What are your thoughts after reading the advert? What does it tell you about SG gov? The way they do things?

Sacrifice-worth Cause

2009-04-06T11:33:00.002+08:00

As I look through the blogs of my friends and people in church, I can't help but feel a strong urge to post 2 videos...

The 1st one is from yassy's blog... I love it... let it speak to you more than my words...

The second one is from Jonathan's blog. He has changed blog address to http://www.madefromyourheart.blogspot.com.

Such talents given from God, just waiting for LOVING LEADERS to empower. Thank God, I have many over my life. Enjoy...

People... there are things that are worth living for, sacrificing for... What is yours?

sentence with numbers

2009-04-06T09:23:00.002+08:00

Had an interesting thought to ponder...

I want (1), to (2), trea[t](3) four (4) people at five (5) past six (6) to seven (7) dishes then at(8) night (9), we go sun tan (10).

HAHA.. how is that? You try it... =)

Love,

parable

2009-04-05T00:22:00.003+08:00

I loves parables. Jesus loves to preach in parables!
It relates better to people who understands it...

That is why Jesus used many stories of fisherman and farmers in the 4gospels... and taxpayers etc...

Yup... And I love the bible very much so i always remember the stories in the bible, and talk about it in my daily conversations. hence, sometimes, some people may not understand immediately what I am saying until I explain to them the story that I used to illustrate my points then they understand... yup... Well, i feel that it is both good and bad to be like this.

Good that I know the bible stories. I can use them to encourage myself or others when needed.
Bad that if i use them too often and does not explain enough, people will not understand what I am saying...
So should always spare a thoughts for people.

Love others as you love yourself... - golden rule from Jesus.

Lets have bedtime POEM before I sleep.
2 are better than 1,
a 3 fold cord is not easily broken.
Blessed it is, to have friends around you,
Ecclesiastes is a great book!
1 book after is a different story...
the songs of Solomon is something else... and more.
Read and you shall understand,
what Solomon was trying to bring to hand.
His life, his behavior and his thoughts,
as he was growing through his emotions.
It is God's desire that 1, we become,
but before, strong that 1 should be.
To withhold, refrain, and have true freedom.
Saying a millions "yes" but a few IMPORTANT "no".

In case i digress...
2 are better than 1.
Encouragement, you do to each other in adversity...
Friends are so important.
I shall stay in Ecclesiastes for the time being...

=P

Purpose of blogging

2009-04-02T02:11:00.003+08:00

Finding something to post today and decided on this one... what is my purpose in blogging...

1) It helps me to think about life. Whenever you blog, you will sure touch on your life issues. Out of the heart, the mouth speaks. And for the blogger version - out of the heart, the hand types. So whatever that is happening to you will surely be publicize on your blog depending on your courage to show it out, and your command of language to spice it up, and your determination to actually do it... People usually pass the first 2 but fail at the last one. =P

2) It influences. I will sure love to write a book next time when I am established and the church is going on well, with people running it. I believe Pastors will sure write too... Write our revelations, whatever God has shown us in our lives. Our convictions, our knowledge. Our versions of the Bible perceived. Our perspective of God encountered. Our revelations of the truth of God. So i pray that whatever I write will help someone, somewhere, somewhat, somehow in something...

3) It allows me to plan. One other thing that i like about blogging is also that as I type, i also begin to plan things. I plan my life, settle things, and sets a platform for further planning. It is pretty a good tool to get your brainstorming juice warmed up. Yup!

4) It recollects my life, my encounters. Pastor shared with us before that they have a revelation or thinking book where they write revelations from God, plannings for the church or any sorts. So that book kinda punctuates their life stories with the special encounters and processes they go through. So blog is like my style of doing it... Whatever revelations I have or thoughts that I think, it goes up. (Except a few that are personal and confidential) That will sure need some privacy... ha-ha... Only a few are gained access. hahaha.

That is about it... how about you? Why do you blog?

today

2009-03-31T03:57:00.003+08:00

Today was a fun day! Had a great chill-over at PS with some of them. Missed Grilled chicken, and fried fish soup so I ate grilled chicken first… Will come back for the fried fish soup soon… =)

Went to walk around tecman, then to SKS (a warehouse, and there is this room where they sell a lot of Christian books and materials) It is cheaper, so far I believe…

Bought Piercing the darkness and am very determined to finish it by this week. Help Nicholas bought a few more other books… Roy wanted a bible commentary but think twice… Maybe he will get it next time. I want 1 too, but next time too… ha-ha.

Speaking about spirituality, I felt a direction by God last weekend.

For the month of April
2 things to grow in
1) Spirituality (Anointing, discernment, worship, flow)
2) Breakthrough mentality (Anti-“nua” or laid-back attitude, be on cutting edge)

I think some of us have come to a point in our lives that we are getting very used and comfortable with things and get laid-back at times. Well, it should never be enough or even be that way…
Our worship life should be breaking through to the next level!
Our prayer life should touch heaven in the higher level!
Our revelations should be must closer to God’s character and nature.
Our selves should be feeling different every time.
This is breakthrough!

So I want to have this aggressive spirit, be on the front, cutting-edge, to breakthrough, to touch God, to encounter supernaturalism.

I also need to grow in the Spirit. It links…
I am doing a few things:
1) Read “Piercing the darkness”
2) Read “This present darkness”
3) Read “spiritual leadership”
4) Pray and worship every morning and night.
5) Prepare for every meetings by praying and asking God.
6) Join in any of my leaders’ meetings where there are a lot of spiritual things to learn.
7) Don’t lean on chair, or wall so often… Train myself to have a stand firm, breaking through spirit. =P this is a bit funny. But I feel that first instinct of a human being makes a lot of the person’s character.

Lastly, I must say that I am getting a bit more spiritual and able to flow already. It really thanks to music and worship and prayer. Music really can make something out of a person.
Music can make one feel more, either emotionally, mentally or even spiritually
Music can definitely make someone emo… Ha-ha!

Well… It was so interesting that I was kind of craving for music just now when I realized that I have a few things yet to be sent in… It was so “not me” if you know what I mean. I never used to have that habit… Nonetheless, things have changed my life. I believe everyone has that experience somehow… So this responsibility change your perspective about life, how that incident brought a change, how a person has a impact on your life, etc… etc… And MORE!

Well… got to sleep…

Ciaos… (got it right this time round :P )

awesome!

2009-03-28T23:38:00.002+08:00

this post is to change the first picture! haha.

well....

today was great!

had a great service!

Lets have the spirit of faith more...

lets say "yes" more!
Les say "can" more!

God is a permissive God!
God is a Yes God!

He says yes to millions of things
BUT - He says "no" to a few that are bad to us...

I love my God. He gives us the best!

Memorize a verse today!
Shall put it into my heart later on as I pray!

Blog again! tomorrow will be great!

woohooo... so different. haha

Isaiah 43:29

2009-03-26T01:54:00.002+08:00

Isaiah 43:29 is no verse... It cannot be found in the Bible, but i found it... Let me share with you.

If you read the last part of Isaiah 43, verse 22 to verse 28 is about "pleading with unfaithful Israel".
It is like crying out, complaining, troubled...

And Chapter 44 is about "God's blessings on Israel", or rather, deliverance, and prayer comes true...

So what is 43:29?

As I look... I felt this sensation rising up inside my Spirit.
verse 29 is the connector from Chapter 43 to Chapter 44... And it is called strength.
Before your prayer gets answered, you need strength to hang on...

Simple... no fancy tricks... no ultra-exciting story...
Just a simple word from God - "Strength"...

Be strengthened...

But if you need a real verse for strength - look up Isaiah 40:29... =) That was what I wanted to say at first...

Loves getting revelations from the Holy Spirit!

Reality is here

2009-03-23T03:25:00.002+08:00

Had a great week just passed... So many thoughts came to mind... There are so many things that I want to do... So before I do them all, I decide to think about it, sort out my thoughts, know what I want, see what I need. And I am going to do all these by blogging. =P

What motivated me:
1) The recent grumbling voices of peers. You would have hear many people saying "we are turning 20 soon!" Some of them "21!"... That really bring some feelings though the age itself does not make any diff... But as you talk about it long enough, reality kicks in... You are entering into a new phase of life... Trust me... If you don't see it yet, you need to talk to me! ha-ha...

2) Followed Pastor How to a conference. I had the privilege to follow Pastor How around and interact with some pastors and older people. There is something about older people that they think more, as they hold responsibility of things, particularly when they are serving full-time in church. They really are doing something, compared to any other other people in the world. The things they talk about, the concerns they have, the things they ponder upon... It just expanded my mindset, and stir up my growth juices. I need to "up" my thinking... hearing how Pastor evaluate and explore thought-flow pattern and scenarios just interest me... I need to go up to that level, MAN!!!

3) had a great LCA evaluation mtg w Roy and Fifi... It really helped me see where I am at now, and where I need to work on further. It was so good as I am clearer of myself now... In fact, a new thought dawn upon me... increasingly, as one rises up as a pastor, they are actually doing more administrative work than before... Even to the point of having minimal contact with people, even though they are supposed to love and pastor people... The truth is simple - they pastor people by planning better, sorting manpower wiser, making sure things happen nicely, help create opportunities for growth, teaching what is important, guiding whenever possible... It is a different ballgame. So I asked myself this question - do I want to carry on doing what I am doing now, or will I want to grow and change accordingly. There is also an invisible question as to whether you can even change or not. Some people just cannot seem to grow in admin skills. I pray that you all can, but then again... reality kicks in... You can't be sure of what happens.

4) had a insightful hang out with Charleston. Just knowing that he has ORD and is going on full-time in church made me salivate and then THINK MOre... I just can't seem to stop thinking, ha-ha... hearing his thoughts and insights and plans to work on just shows me how real this world is getting as our age is catching up.

Do you ever wonder why you don't think that much when you were younger? Like 14? or even 17? Why 20? hahaha.... Nonetheless, reality is here! I need to get serious!

So what do I want... here are some of it:

1) Know what I want. =P Pretty redundant to put this right? haha. But honestly, I want to know what I really want so I can do what I need...

2) Know what I like. Pastor Sy also mentioned about this during the seminar that from the age of 20 - 25 is when we start sorting out our likes and dislikes and having principles in our lives. I believe career is included here, fashion style tags along, passion leads the way, and increasingly becoming popular BGR is creeping up during this period too... Don't smirk, you are experiencing it. =p I can see you giggle. ha-ha... We are all... face it. reality is here. alastair, you are too young still (if you are reading this. ha-ha...)

3) Know what I dislike. This is the direct opposite. Well, it must tag along with number 2, i supppose. They are buddies. There must be boundaries, and not just 1 sided direction. So what do i dislike?
Faithlessness? Barrenness? Stagnance? over-anxiety?

4) Know what i need. Again, this is simply facing the reality. We are idealistic, but we cannot throw away the real world. We need things. Money, shelter, survival, etc... The difference is, we live in idealism, with a reality in mind. this is sustainable idealism! =)

A list of things that I want to achieve:
- Church finances. I want to move out of SingPost! pray for prosperity!
Deu 8:18 "It is God who gives us power to get wealth!" It shall be done!
- Church growth. Both quality and quantity!
Eph 4:16 "From whom the whole body is knit together, according to the effective power of each part, causes growth of the body and the edifying of itself in love!"
Growth in quantity / edifying in strength. That is why we must be in union!
- Leadership
Judges 5:2 "When leaders lead in Israel, and the people willingly offer themselves, bless the Lord!.
Psalm 78:72 "And he(David) shepherded the people with the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
God, my prayer is that you help us in this, give us wisdom, let us be strong and be of good courage, lead us by your Spirit, raise up MORE leaders! Let discipleship be the flavor of the many generations to come!
- Connection, culture.
Isaiah 54:2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
The spirit of Pastor Lia when she led the youth AGES ago will still be dominant in the generations to come. Let there be a double portion upon our leaders and members, the same love and heart and care be of preeminence in the bountiful number of CGs we will have.

A few thoughts from Pst Sy... I will not belabor the points. he is a great communicator, clear and such great rapport! So what Im really amazed...:
- Raising Sexually healthier kids in a world of risk (4 purposes for sex, what is God's intend for our sexuality, Immaturity versus Maturity, Insecurity versus Security, how and when to tell your kids about sex) I shall not disclose them so you may go and get the CDs or DVDs. =)

Okay, what i really liked:
- Many times, its not about what people intend for you that matters, but its how you perceive it. Same goes vice versa.
- Strong immune system kicks out unknown objects. Hmmm. it definitely applies to strong conviction kicks out unknown influences.
- Discipleship = reparenting. So true....
- feelings are temporary, consequences are permanent!
- you have no control as to falling into a problem, but you can definitely choose to get out of it.
- Vision pulls people out of problems. So So so true...
- Cannot be perfect, just be effective. IT HELPS SUPER LOT!!!!
- Recognising an unpreventable risk is half the battle won.
- A good parent is one whom their children approaches for advices, in happiness, and in sorrow. How true can this get for the spiritual view... Hmmm. A lot of reflection to do....

Thank you Pastor sy for teaching.
Thank you PASTORS for inviting.

its so real...

Insights...

2009-03-22T04:38:00.001+08:00

The seminar with Pastor Sy Rogers were great! You really learn about sexuality issues in people, both young and old… It just brought a lot of facts, and truth, and experience and biblical principles, all rolled into 1 series called the “raising up sexually healthier children” It is amazing!

You really learn how people behave the way they do, what triggered it. What can be done to resolve it.

You can’t prevent getting into a problem.

But you can prevent from staying in it.

Discipleship is like re-parenting! Its filling in the void that people missed out from their parents so they learn what they need to know.

We are not perfect, so try to be effective.

Been trying to memorize bible verses to increase my biblical knowledge to help in my pasturing if I were really want to be a pastor. So for today, lets quote this…..

If you need strength:

Isaiah 40:31: “Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, walk and not faint.”

Galatians 6:9: “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season, we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

Matthew 11:30: “For My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

It is easy! You can do it!

Grow in strength!

Revelation of problem

2009-03-18T03:15:00.002+08:00

I was sharing this with my CG and I felt that I should share with all of you as well...
This is my revelation and I truly believe it is so real!

First of all: let me begin by saying that there are problems in life. Some people fight it, some people get killed by it. Some wins, and some fails. Well, whatever it is, there are problems.

At the end of the day, if you overcome it, you become stronger and more experienced.

What is the specific group of people that I want to target my revelation and convict them is this group who blames God for creating problems in life... Well... please, no offense, this is what I feel it is and I thought it would be good for you to hear as well...

I asked myself, "Why are there problems in life, why are there curses?" Can I change my life?
Then, I was yet a christian... I found no answers yet...

Soon after, I was saved! I was happy, and joy came into my life... Faith become a big part of my personality... And on the outside, it may seems that problems have fled from me. Well, wipe out the "phew" from your face, the problems are still around. No qualms about it.

You still frown, agitate, work up, depress, emo, whatever it takes. The problems are around.

Until one day, I was crying to God and ask Him to help me... So I was doing my Quiet Time and reading my Bible and all then God dropped this question into my mind.

You might have hear before that the devil curses us, so when bad things happen, it must be the devil. Well, its quite poor thing for the devil though he deserves it, anyway…

So I wondered, the devil always want to curse. He has bad intention, wants to draw us away from God… Then I wonder, why wouldn’t he just destroy the world? (so-called world-end) If he has the power to strike sickness (Yes, devil can do that. He is spiritual okay. Don’t play play), why wouldn’t he just kill the world since he hates us so much. I thought about it for quite some time and then GOD spoke and change my life totally from that instance onwards!

God’s first few words were “Because I did not allow it”. Then I went on to ask really? I mean God is all powerful, no doubt He has control. But this 1 is a bit interesting and exciting… Many thoughts flooded my mind.

- Was God really the one that ALLOWED problems if He says that He CAN disallow world-end?

- What makes Him allow and disallow? What are His principles?

And the answer can always be found in God’s word. I chanced upon it…!

1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it

I just want to bring your attention to the bolded and underline words:

Temptation is common to man. Yes and amen. You face temptations everywhere. To lie, to hide, to slack, to bluff, to steal, to hate God, to give up… and all… the list goes on…

Will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able

God knows that temptation is dangerous, but He says clearly that He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able. In other words, He will ask a dog to fly, nor a chicken to dig… Whatever He gives to us, He makes sure that we are able to do it before giving it to us.

Make the way of escape

Hence, God is a merciful and graceful that He always prepares a way of escape, or deliverance that brings us out of every problem that He brought us in… Be glad, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Be able to bear

The truth is, God make sure we can bear it… This is capacity, this is proper training. You need to be ABLE to sit on the ground, and then you can learn to crawl.

Be able to crawl, and then learn to stand

Be able to stand, and then learn to walk

Be able to walk, and then learn to run

Be able to run, and then learn to jump…etc…

Only when you are at level 1, then you can go to level 2. You don’t jump straight from level 1 to level 3 or to 10…

So how do you know you are ready to go to level 3, is when you can cope with level 2. =) Makes sense? Yup, that is why God gives us temptation that we are able to bear, so when we get use to that amount of stress, and yet still gives God our best, that means we have passed the test and can go on to the next level.

So, what I believe is that God only allows problems to come to us when we are ready, and it will strengthen us. God definitely wants to see us stronger!

I love problems! They are my stairways to growth!

Receive the revelation from God!

Renew your mind!

precious power

2009-03-11T03:37:00.002+08:00

Just saw this nice video suggested and the thing that really captured my attention is that teamwork can create POWER! Any form of teamwork is great.

Ecclesiastes 4:

⁹ Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

¹⁰ If one falls down,
       his friend can help him up.
       But pity the man who falls
       and has no one to help him up!

¹¹ Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

¹² Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

So. enjoy both videos... =) Cherish teamwork in your CGs, and ministries or any form.

2009-03-09T03:19:00.002+08:00

I just came back from jogging and exercising...

I ran around 1.2km... as warm up...
Running is so much of mental strength... It is no longer that much of physical strength! Or maybe I am just old now... oh my...

Then i did 9 pull-ups. i wouldn't say its full standard. maybe around 3/4 standard... haha.
then I did 30 sit ups,
then some legs stretchings,
then train my butterfly.. (trapezoids, the wingy part of your upper abdomen)
then another 5 pull-ups,
then died halfway in 15situps...
then I go home...

My brain is racing with oxygen and "tired", and "keep fit", and other things... wah, for a moment I thought I had migraine. haha

so now, I am back home, searched for some information, and now preparing to go brunch... maybe...

haha... Ken!!! you are going overseas! will miss you .. haha

Sparking - Awakening

2009-03-06T05:11:00.002+08:00

I have not post in a week.
So this post is for my CG people, who have all updated their blog, so I am not lagging behind. =P
This post is also for any faithful readers...
This post is for myself to reflect about life...
This post is dedicated to my Father as He owns it all...

I did many things last week and this week already!
Let's start with last week.

We broke through! C Zone broke through
C Zone was 214 and were 56! That was awesome, considering the fact that we were only averaging 46 and 47 before Heart Fest! Cool huh...

Credits goes to so many people that I can never finish naming...
The people from C5 holding the grounds, bringing the group together and inviting the people back. Its only then that Zhong Ying is coming back, Priya is coming, and Ken is happy about. Ken is 1 crazy great GUY!!! I love him man... haha. it seems weird to say those 3 words to a guy but seriously, he is cool. haha... He can be a great leader for God!
*4D-ing in process* haha

Then also, the other CGs really brought so many new friends.
Grace Seah is a rising star! She is sparkling! She just got the LIGHT of Christ in her and she is just so happy everyday, and excited about life. She brought her sister Christine and also her boyfriend and their friend. I hope they enjoyed themselves... Nonethless, I also just found out that Grace dreams to rise up to be a leader and also wants to help the new generation get to know God more! THAT is so HEART OF GOD CHURCH! That is Pastors' dream! Grace, you will make it in the kingdom of Heaven! =) Trust me...

Then Michelle, Gordon, Bellrarie and Wee Hoe and Wei Min are the ones that are holding the forts, keeping a look out for people and messaging me here and there. Guys, I just want to say you all are so important! Without you guys, I really cannot do all these man! I don't have 6 pairs of eyes that can be at 3 places at 1 time! =) But importantly, I know you all are growing 1 level higher and carrying the burden. I AM so sure that you know what God means when He says "He felt compassion for the people" in the gospels.

Jazreel brought a friend, Victoria, and she is amazing! Although she is already 20, well-to-do and all, but she is humble to accept God and friendship into her life. I know that she will sure encounter God and know her true purpose in Christ. Her future is SECURE and AMAZING. She is going to grow strong.
Dependent -> Independent -> God-dependent.

Poh Kian and Poh Guang are the cool! They are brothers. All 3 brothers, along with the youngest Benjamin (primary 5) are in church. They have been coming 3 weeks consecutively. You know what? Poh Guang came church even THOUGH HE has a CAST on his arm! Don't play play... He is 1 serious guy for God.

THIS is what I call conviction. I am writing another post some time soon about conviction. Stay-tuned.

Poh Kian is a great brother la... Because we planned to surprised Poh Guang 12am on his birthday (5th March), so Kian had to stay up till we reach. He was really tired, and I could tell when we arrived at his house. He sacrificed for his brother's happiness! This is 1 great brother... =) You are awesome!

We also made cards for Seok Peng and Sebastian and Shu Jun... Haha... All their names start with letter "S". Hope they grow STRONG. =) hahaa.

Christopher is doing great, bringing people back. They are just picking up momentum...

C80 is 1 CG that I don't really need to worry about. they are independent people. I just need to say something and they straight away do it... just on thursday, after a breakfast, Carol straight away did something for Val Cheong. That is what I call teachability! Fast, and NOW! That is the attitude to greatness in life! So proud of ya!

E ray and Crystal from C9 is awesome... E Ray wants to live for a greater cause and do not mind sacrificing finances. But true enough, God proving Himself to be faithful and merciful, blessed E Ray back the exact amount that he gave away! God is good, because E ray is great! =) God is attracted to faith.
Crystal is also becoming more cheerful till the point that the mother actually knows and is happy that they go to church.
All these would not be possible if Zi Ling did not invite them... So their vision by end of the year is 10 secondary school people! It is easy! It is possible...

It is truly great to have ao many great people working together for the glory of God, the videos, the pastoral side, etc...

This is just for overall CG news... I am tired.continue again. =) See ya... good night.

fruitful day

2009-02-24T03:09:00.003+08:00

Today is great, greater, and greatest... There is another word call greatester.. =) I form it because i believe tomorrow will be a better day!

I had exam, then i rush back to khatib to have meetings with my leaders... discuss about people, and it was fruitful... Seriously, i am switching my mindset already. What concerned me is more about the leaders growing... because i believe that:

"When leaders lead in anywhere,
and the people willingly offer their lives.
Bless the Lord!"

After that meeting, i had dinner with my family... it was so interesting because i was the one that arranged it. I messaged my mother and father in mandarin and they replied me in English. It was just weird because we don't do this. I think i only receive messages from them like less than 10 times. Moreover, my father even replied me "Okay, ask qi (sister's petname) to come."

haha.. so we went hong kong cafe and ate over $95...
Along the way, we saw martin and mae ann (it was before she felt uneasy, i guess). Oh Mae Ann, you got to recover.. We are praying for you!
Then i saw nicholas and his gang having integ meeting. haha. it is his hang out already man... and also, i borrowed his xin wang membership card for 10% discount. ahahaha.

After that, i went back and finish my ADMINISTRATION!
1) workplan
2) integration list
3) reply Chris's and Roderick's inte list
4) YA monthly reports
5) reply my 30 emails!
6) blogged. =)

Lastly... this is my creation.. =)
because I am so excited to see new people learning and growing... this is the ABC of meditation for leaders... Enjoy...

4 A's will be the basic criteria...
4 Best leaders among the many others will become...
4 CGLs!!!
4 Dimensioned!
4 Excellent work...
4 Friendships...
4 Godly leaders...
4 Humble leaders...
4 Idealistic leaders...
4 Jokers (I hope not)... but i think anointing flows... HAHAHA
4 Kind hearts
4 L's (Live, Learn, Lead, Love)
4 Minds (Thinkers and not just workers)
4 Normal people (The strength of C Zone is that normal people, attached with the power of God, can become great people)
4 Optimistic (faith-filled)
4 Pastors-hearted (think for, and of pastors during their time)
4 Quality people (not just any tom,dick or harry)
4 Responsible leaders
4 Spiritual (How can i forget this point!!)
4 Tenacity-trained (Strength to overcome difficulties!)
4 Under-estimated people (Then we can prove the world that the power of God can make them powerful!!)
4 Void in their hearts (They must have scars that God has healed before, so they would have experienced God's love deeply. For much is forgiven, much will be required)
4 Weijies. =) haha... the power of reproducing...
4 X-factor in their lifestyles (The anointing, touch of God)
4 Yoke-carrying (Carry the yoke, burden of Pastors and church)
4 Z.... ( this is for any of you to suggest to me? =) hahahahaha)

Good night... going to sleep and dream...

i am still alive!!

2009-02-21T02:11:00.002+08:00

Just decided to blog so that it is still alive... haha

I had C5 CG today and before anything began, i got their attention and taught them something. These are the kind of things that we got to do. This is more important than just telling someone to read the bible or to learn or to change. This is a real scenerio where people just got to face the situation, know what is happening and lift their thoughts to a higher level and make some decisions about their lives.

These are the intangible that are most precious in this place. Without it, heart of God church wouldn't be call its own name. that is why we are very strong in this...

You will know it when you receive it. =)

So C5, let's grow together... Let's live life together...

After CG, i had a very quick meeting with roderick to discuss C9... it was short, but it was important. after that he discuss project with the pgsm group.
I just miss roderick so much. After poly exams, he is much more free-er and i just want to spend more time with him. i think i have asked him to stay over at my house more than 20 times... haha. but he only stayed once... or twice? haha... doesn't matter. more will come.

so after that, i took a bible and went down to hang out with my people. we ate a quick dinner then head to coffee bean to just sit down and read. all of us were reading , and su ling was playing with designing. zac, kian leng were reading "You the Leader", as they needed to do some book review by the night... it was so funny seeing everyone rushing it! haha.. and i know some people are late... wahaha! I think I will be late too if I am in AMT. waahgaha.

so we just hung out, then i went to office, and did some work for New Generation...

Hmmm. I realised I have not talked about New Generation yet... Here goes:

Let me use 1 sentence to describe it.
New Generation - A ministry that brings Heaven to souls (In schools) and also brings souls to Heaven by displaying the love of the Lord through their testimonies and lifestyle.

That summarises it. =)

Last week's testimony by Esther was like a dream come true. Seeing how NG has impact and brought faith to many other schools (I believe).
More is to come!

Genesis 25... Look to the north, south, east, west, all these SCHOOLS will belong to Heaven.

Chaos...

youtube surfing

2009-02-18T01:25:00.003+08:00

there are so many videos on youtube. you can almost literally know the world through it... here are some cool videos I found:

Powerful old woman! Girls, learn from her!

Funny prank!

Just for laughs!

We got to try this some day!!!!

Touch from Heaven

2009-02-11T02:26:00.006+08:00

I had a great Quiet Time today... I worship for 5 - 6 songs, of which many were old songs, from Red Rain, Hillsongs... Then i realized that I really like Hati Hamba - CHC, Sure - Red Rain, Hold on - Red Rain... I felt like a new christian. Ha-ha.

Soon after (not so soon after all, since it was 40mins later), I felt that God said He wants to speak to me, so i stood up and stand in front of my bed in case God slain me in the Spirit...

True enough it happened... These are it:
"I anoint you to preach" - lay hands on my head;
"I want the skillfulness of hands" - I stretch my hands towards heaven,;
"Guard my heart with integrity, make it pure and holy" - I touched my heart;

Not enough, there is second round:
"Let your strength come out of you" - lay hands on abdomen;

Still not enough, bring the third round:
"spirit of love" - lay hands on head;
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; and lo, I will be with you always, even to the ends of the earth, amen!

Then I realized it is a progression. After the first 2 rounds, then I am ready for the final round and the calling. Truly, God answers prayer...

Then I went on to pray through my prayer list... These are it:
Pastors / Leaders
Exo 20:12 "honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Growth-2000/350
Eph 4:16 "from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its shares, causes growth of the whole body for the edifying of itself in love
Leader of leaders
Judges 5:2 "When leaders lead in israel, when the people willingly offer themselves. Bless the Lord!
Fear of God
2 Cor 7:1 "Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."
100

After that, I just sit down and cry out to God... moving from independent to God-dependent.
I just grow in faith that God will help me in whatever that I do, and what I don't think I can do...
When I open my eyes, the room was almost brighter than the day though it was 8pm...

Many tears and brokenness were present. Humility was definitely around.

If God speak to you... you never forget that day...

great sabbath

2009-02-10T02:26:00.002+08:00

I had a lot of fun today...

Ec-ing was a great experience. I want to do it more often, i want to get the hang of it... I want to do it well!!! There is a hunger for it now...hahaha... It will surely grow me to another level...

School isn't as satisfying... The lecturer was indeed strict. I should say he is almost legalistic... anyway, it is over. haha. After I finished, i left... can i tell you, i feel like a zombie...

have been staying out for 2 days already, since saturday morning till monday night...haha. It felt as though I live alone and the feeling is pretty good. Anyway, that explains my zombie state. Chc morning prayer is really a test of your mantle. =)

Then in the noon, i went to visit gina tan in the hospital. But worry not, for she is well, and recovering fast. The worst thing are the projects and school isssues. it is unreasonable. Anyway, glad to see Gina again. =)

lastly, we hung out with charleston, eating then playing LAN. haha... it was a experience for Charleston, but well, all of us complain of the giddiness. haha. Just loving to hang out with my leaders. Jokes aside, and loads of other talks.. wahahaa....

now, it is time to work!!

Weird year

2009-01-27T16:41:00.002+08:00

This year has been quite weird, in the perspective of all the festivals...
Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas to us... It just came and go... I guess excitement and hype is a norm to HOGC members so any "world-renown-big" festivals are consider small to us already...

New year seemed like 10 seconds. Though we had a great new year countdown and it was crazy, but it felt so fast to come and a blink-of-the-eye to go... Too fast... Too fun... Too furious... haha...

*Too fast, too furious 4 is coming out... I just saw the preview yesterday. It says "new models, new ..." I forgot what else because I was half asleep. haha...

Lastly, Chinese New Year is almost gone... Today is Tuesday and Wednesday will mark the beginning of sorrows!!! HAHA... exams are coming. aw... Usually, CNY is something that we all look forward to. Some look at the 'hong baos', some look at the relatives, some look at the food, while others look at the rest (as in sleep).

Let's talk a bit about mine... I have 2 visitation. 1 is to my maternal uncle's house, where my maternal immediate family would come together for reunion dinner. Next, would be to my paternal uncle's house where my paternal immediate family would come together to eat and hang out... So that sums up to 2 "Yu-sheng". Just that this year, 1 paternal uncle and aunt did not come. The aunt and her family went to Genting... and the uncle, just did not come.. Seldom see him anyway... So it was a little quiet, but nonetheless, I got to spend time with my cousins. I was playing with this young girl, justina. She is only 4, i guess.. haha. I taught her many hand games... (chi go pa, heart attack, "hand-slapping game", and many more that I do not have a name for...) If you are wondering about the slapping game, my hands were redder than hers because hers did not even turn red... haha... She has no-mercy! wahaha.
Then also get to talk to my cousins. There is only this lady, Eunice, who is same age as me, and she entered NTU, taking literature... So proud of her as a family... She has many many books. I was joking casually that her shelf has new addition every year. haha... This year was 3 thick literature books. (it is the size of a dictionary and bigger).

Well... there are many more things different this year that I won't be sharing here but I sure want to share it because it is spiritually awesome!
It doesn't take a happy occasion to make one's spirit happy.
It takes the spirit of a happy man to make any occasion happy.

So no matter what happens, what changes, what differences, your spirit controls it all... =)

By the way, there was an eclipse on Monday 4pm... Did you miss it?
I did...... haha...

2009-01-25T18:09:00.003+08:00

Just loaded a few pictures from my handphone here...

Busy market sales during CNY season:
The 2 partitions are our stalls. Usually, stall owner only has 1 partition, we have 2.. =)
The red box on trolley is our little refrigerator to keep those left-over vegetables...

Busy market sales during CNY season:
This is the area right outside our stalls. We take up quite a big space... From the wall (with the red fire extinguisher) until the front of the picture, the area is all filled with baskets and boxes and trays of vegetables... haha... There is only 1 empty walkway for easy accessibility from inside the market to outside.. aha

Will upload more again..

off to reunion dinner.

New satisfaction

2009-01-23T01:19:00.002+08:00

It feels great!

How many of you have the feeling of satisfaction and greatness after doing something, that you felt that you can do it 5 more times!!!

I had great CGs yesterday and today with C5, C9 and C8, C80... It was totally awesome. I was so ministered by it and so encouraged... What contributed to this aura was the people, the presence, the passion, the attentiveness, the leading by the Holy Spirit, the anointing... I love it!

Assuredly, i say to you:

"for whatever a man thinks in his heart, so is he." - Pro 23:7

This is the verse I have kept in my heart this week and I brought this everywhere I go. Truly, the word of God lives out its Power, in wonders and effects. Ha-ha...

I prayed up for CG, that it would be faith-filled, I prepared for my worship, and God gave me more... I read through and prep myself for the sermon, preaching, and I took hell out of the place, and plant Heaven in the souls of man... Ha-ha. It feels great la!

The power of prayer is at hand only when your hand stretches out to heaven for it.
The mistake of most people is that they are just lazy to stretch their hand to get it...

Pray and you never regret....
Pray and you never stop smiling...
Pray and you never sulk...
Pray and you never lose to the devil...
Pray and you never ever want to think of stopping it...
Pray and you never lose the presence of God in your life...
Pray!

It was so cool hanging out with C8... though CG was a bit delayed but we just chatted...
Wee Hoe - you gotta come my house someday okay!!
Lin Jie - you gotta come too!!! hahaha....
E ray - you ALSO HAVE TO COME!!! wahahaha... I am mad.. crazily asking people to come my house... Just love hanging out and getting to know young people... I guess, its just my vision in life and love in life...

Speaking about that... I am still trying to figure out my 3 most LOVED anD HATED things...

I guess, up till now, it is roughly like this:
MOST LOVED:
1) Getting to hear young people talk about their dreams, their lives.
2) Seeing people getting excited for the Lord, especially after a great sermon, or worship, or after an encounter with God. (Hopefully, I can be the one that delivers such great anointing from God)
3) Dreaming the impossible... haha. I like changes. (for the better, that is) Day-dreaming, unreasonable faith. Well, faith is unreasonable. That is it is called faith! But God can reason it out for you because He will make it come true! You will be dumbfounded. Don't worry, I get that many times. =P

MOST HATED:
1) Stuck at the same level. Spiritually, or in ministry work... just hate it!!! Don't like the feeling or not progressing in life... The feeling is super bad! You see rancor if you see my expression! More than this, I hate seeing other PEOPLE STUCK too. Even seeing someone else, even strangers, I feel agitated! EVERYONE MUST BE GROWING! haha... I am almost coming up with a sermon on my blog! I shall keep it in me for the time being... Whatever the case, grow! Be progressive. Like what Pst preached, we must be progressing and always learning.
2) Faithlessness. It can come in the form of "cannot", "huh", "but", or even "black-face", "stunned-face", or quietness. I dislike faithlessness, and silence. (Unless it is the waiting and being still in the Lord). I see people who are always doubting.. Argh! Get a life!
3) Passiveness. I see people who always "don't know", or "not sure", and never do anything about it - I get worked up... DO SOMETHING. MOVE your life...
Like what Pst reiterate "You got to move it, move it...".
Don't act blur!!!! Lol...

Feel so hot-headed now. Ha-ha... Well, I am still in the process of carving out my principles, and value systems, loves and hates... Getting from Independence to God-dependence...

Chaos...

New dimension

2009-01-20T21:30:00.002+08:00

I added a few things in my life recently. I called them a new dimension.
I had been thinking of CG songs recently. I looked through the 4000 over songs in my itunes... Many duplicates... many unknowns, many songs... So i shortlisted them for easier reference...

I thought that if I were to have good CGs, and even good services next time, I need to learn how to choose songs. Songs are so important. I am personally ministered greatly by the lyrics and anointing of each songs during the services I have been to in church.

I really admire Pastor to choose such appropriate and speak-to-the-soul songs that always elevate the Word of God all together.

So I feel that I need to be able to do that!!

Through this, I realized that I need to know more songs... Last 2 weeks visitation to YSC has given me an eye-opener to wonderful songs in Church history... Hearing Joanne play so many nice songs that I have never hear before really inspired me to listen more!

Add up to this, I also feel that I need to worship more because I want to grow this area in my life. This the new dimension in my life...

Pst's recent revelation on Dependence -> Independence -> God dependence / co-dependence / inter-dependence brought motivation to my spirit.

Got to depend on God so much now... A cry for miracle, a tag-team with the Holy Spirit, an onslaught for revival! I want to push myself on for progression!
Get in touch with world news, download sermons into my mind, input faith into my spirit, flood myself with the Presence of God. Be like pastor How, listening to at least 1 sermon every week...

At this point of time, a iPod comes in very handy with 4GB worth of songs, sermons, inspiring talks, news cast, etc...

I listen to 5 sermons today!! It is super refreshing, rejuvenating, revitalizing... I am truly like what the bridge in "Living Rain" says.

"Come back"
"Back to your first love"
"Back to your first love"
"Back to the Cross".

What if?

2009-01-12T13:41:00.002+08:00

I had a great time hanging around Pastors last night and it just triggered this thought inside of me... What if I were this... or that...doing this... or doing that...

So I really thought a lot and these are some of it... Very interesting. Maybe you can try.

1) If I can be a president: I think I would crash because I can't really plan well. That is at this point in time. That's why I need to grow, plan more, be more macro-minded. Be God-dependent, push myself to my limit, step out of my comfort zone. force myself... kill myself. resurrect myself. You get the point... Ha-ha... Let's say if I can handle it well, I think my first aim is to get rid the PASSIVE spirit in the Asians. Then extravagantly encourage creativity, but setting the boundary with laws and orders. That would Singapore much more exciting and joyful to live in. =)

2) If I can create anything. I would make something that can keep one awake and energized. Be it internally chemical-works or externally contact-reaction, it will surely help me a lot, and I believe, many people would want it too... ahahahaha. I can be rich... But well, let's put it somewhere first. Copyrighted, trademark. =)

3) What if i am a pastor... I think there would be a lot of thoughts going through me, a lot of responsibilities, and burden that I am carrying for the church and all. I would first feel honored, to be able to be given the opportunity and PRIVILEGED to carry this burden.
John 15:16 - For you did not chose Me, but I chose you that you may go out there and bear much fruits and that your fruits should remain. And whatever you ask the Father in My Name, He will give it to you.
This has always been the value in my spirit ever since God saved me. So that would be the first thought.
Then secondly, I think I would feel a holy fear to make sure things happen, to take charge.
The mantra: Step in, step up, take charge, make decisions, make things happen.
That would be constantly on my mind!!! Ha-ha. Imagine... If you don't do the things you are supposed to do, who would do it? There isn't really anyone. Thats why I honor my pastors and my leaders. They do not take "OFFs", nor "LEAVEs", nor "MCs", and very little breaks to plan, pray, help, encourage, teach, minister, support, nurture, know, and lead us. So the 2nd thing I would do is to really sit down and set my value system and convictions right. And that must surely be in flow with the Church. Anyway, I would never start a church by myself.

4) What if 2nd coming of Christ is confirmed, at HAND. Jonathan will answer you. He says he is very scared. You can check out his blog address:
www.smilefreak-.blogspot.com

It doesn't pay to dream, and think...

surge of feelings - influx of emotions

2009-01-08T11:36:00.005+08:00

My lecturer did not turn up for lecture and here we have another hour of break.
It has almost become a norm not to see him around or to even see him early...

But nonetheless, it gives me a good opportunity to blog. =) wahaha.

The first service of the year was eminently glorious, enlivening and exhilarating, all in one. Pastor Lia is one dynamic, revelation-al, spiritual leader. She carries the aura of God in all her ways and works, that anyone who were to come in contact will by no means feel the love of Christ and the power of His ways.

I am so proud that she is my pastor!

Our vision for 2009 is to......
keep striking 2008.
keep guarding the ethos of our church.
the spirit, the heart, the culture, the union, the intangibles...
keep 4D-ing, and having faith.
keep growing.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
KEEP being hungry for more and not satisfied with just enough.

2009 - Here we go...

Just when all were set, and ready to go, the brakes of life still comes to stall.
stall us of our progress.
break us of our momentum.

Things happen, and hearts are stirred.
I just feel so much for my family's salvation... No one has the ability to predict the exact time of things that are to happen. You never know when they come and when who may go.

What you can do is to cherish and be safe than be sorry. And that is what I am going to do. I am just afraid that my parents may go anytime. The motivation I have now is that of 1 incident might create the possibility of many other similar incidents. In fear of the regrets, I will do something. I want to see them in Heaven, and I want them happy...

Ah...

Surge of feelings, influx of emotions...
Psalm 100. Cover it all.

New Year!

2009-01-02T01:05:00.002+08:00

Happy new year everyone...

A new year, a new refresh.. Surge of emotions, influx of energy, overflowing of ideas...
Haha... what do you think about on a new year's day...

New way of tracking your finances? Haha...
Ideas to groom yourself? hmmm.... not bad.
Interesting ways to brighten your life.... well....
To-do's to complete...Aw. have you enough...

Well, nonetheless, I have my settings done for 2009.

The year is over

2008-12-26T17:51:00.002+08:00

It has been a fast one, and definitely an eye-opener - 2008 experience.
The year has already gone past without you realizing it. Man really cannot chase time. Nothing can.

We just had our Christmas service yesterday and it was a breeze. This year's Christmas did not really feel like one. Probably because of the many events that we have in church that brought down the hype of Christmas Event.

As a leader in HoGc, you$ never stop doing things, you never quit from being busy... Things are just always going on and on... But at the end of the day, the rewards are all that you ever yearn for...

These are the things that brought life to me whenever I think about it:

1) Zi Ling sharing her testimony on stage! It is like her dream come true. And it brought a little heaven to my soul knowing that her dream has come true. You never find that feeling anywhere else. Not in winning the basketball championship, not in earning your first $500, not receiving praises from people...

I suddenly have this thought. Sometimes people ask "If you have a chance to live life again, what would you do?".
Well, as a matter of fact, when you are born in the faith, you are living your 2nd life. When you are baptized with Christ, you were crucified together and resurrected together. You live a new life of obedience to the Lord. That's what we call a "new man". The old has passed away, the new has come.

So if any of you really dislike your life and wants to start afresh, it is possible. =) Come to Jesus and He will bring you through it. I am living my 2nd life now. I start a new.

So back to the rewards of life.........
2) E ray, jason, Yu Heng, Terry, Crystal, Queenie, Vernon, Zhong Ying, Hui Hang... ...
These are the people that bring life to me whenever I see them. E Ray is pure and nice... Jason can be quiet at times, but crappy many times...ahah. I never really hanged out with Yu Heng and Terry yet but yearning to do so sooN!!!! Crystal is funny, and energetic... haha, that is life in itself!!! Queenie is interesting.. ahha, my school mate. =) Vernon is smart!!! But well, i like him not because he is smart, but because he is who he is.... Zhong Ying is a good chess player!!! ahah. She is quiet and just adding life in her little giggles. =) Hui Hang........ see you soon!!! haha.

Just the thoughts of them will bring a destiny to my life.

3) Friends... I thank God for friends like Nicholas Lee... Esmonde... Colin... Zachary... that would just encourage and pump some faith into you whenever they see you...
The hugs of Esmonde.
The "high-ness" of Nicholas.
The silent words of Colin. (Haha, I don't know what I mean... He is just funny, probably because of the sense of security that he can provide with his commando-trained muscles)
The occasional jokes of Zachary...

haha... the list goes on...

2009 will be greater and my tips for everyone, including myself is...

CATCH UP WITH LIFE... it runs faster than you...especially in Heart of God Church.

interesting blog

2008-12-09T23:38:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone,

I was just thinking about my blog and shu qing was saying that I did not update for quite some time. Hmmm. then I had this interesting idea.

The idea is that I will blog whenever anyone wants something.. haha...

but the criteria is this: It must be sensible request...
So let me put it in clearer terms: If you want to write about a certain topic, e.g. Love, hope, faith, what do you about this issue? this problem? etc... something like that. Please feel free to tag it, and I will blog down my views.

+)

Faith at your service...

Revolution

2008-11-19T08:21:00.003+08:00

One word that describe my week... and that is revolutionizing...

There were so many things that happened that changed my life, or made impact and influenced me... I am changing... I am different. I will grow.

Its such a wonderful thing to have Pastors and Leaders who are here to guide you and mold you to be someone you want to be.

Never complain, never grumble, only be grateful.

I had my LCA meeting with Charleston, Dominic and Roy. Let me tell you, THAT opened up many windows, so I can take a look at my outside world as I slowly open the door that is going to lead me outside.. You get the picture. Sometimes you are so boxed in doing your own things that you don't know where you are heading, what you are missing, what you could be having.

They helped me lay rocks on river top so i can tread upon.
My leaders help me mend the boat when it is broken.
If I ever managed to cross the ocean, or climb the mountains, it would be their credit...

The service was awesome(square). Pastor shared about his passion... And it comprise this tragic story of a 30 year old man going around patronizing young kids with chips... God knows what he is up to... This is so sick...
So Pastors, Mae Ann and Charleston are actually planning what to do with the kids so they can have a safer environment to be nurtured and grown.
This is our cause!
To live for others!
To change the NEXT GENERATION
To be Responsible.
I am.... Are you?

Week

2008-11-10T01:48:00.001+08:00

It is early monday morning now and i am smiling...

Last week has been really long and fulfilling... It has been such a breakthrough. I would not switch last week with anything else man!

Nick Vujicic is such an inspiration. He talked about God using people to do His will and glorifying Him. He punches the point that even you were caught in a mishap or had some bad circumstances to you, God allowed it for sure. The thing is you can actually use these bad experience to minister and encourage people.

So if you are blind, but yet you are full of joy and doing something great with your life. People will ask you how you did it and you can just tell them it is the glory of God. You can then also encourage all the other blind students by just living your life this way...

So that was Nick Vujicic!!! Great inspiration... I will see him in Heaven, same figure and all. God is fair. =)

I will update about Pastor Kong later...
...........That...... will take a lot more time.. and effort....

In the meanwhile, enjoy this article!!

So early

2008-11-03T08:38:00.002+08:00

I am in school now... So early, I am 30 minutes early because I came straight down after Morning Prayer...

It feels good to be early, and it feels even greater to be in God's presence so early in the moment.
Indeed, "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you..."

Ha-ha...

Well, just 1 more day towards Nick Vujicic... Getting so excited to meet him in person.. If you still do not know who he is, or you still aren't coming to see him, i urged you to make a decision!

Got to look through name list now already! ahaha

New energy, new strength

2008-11-01T00:23:00.002+08:00

I feel like a fish back in water, after seeing Pastors and my leader back in Singapore.
It gives a different idea altogether about having your leaders away for 10 days and then having them back again.

That 10 days were really exciting and an experience for me... Looking at the zone the way that I never did before, and doing things that I never really did before. in the past, these could be only be a dream and an imagination...
You can say its 4D-ing such circumstance to happen but it just came to past last 2 weeks.
So happy to get to know people more in a different level.

Last time was all about knowing the new friends and integration cases.
then slowly, begin to know the regulars from other CGs as well...
Now, it has come to the level of knowing leaders, and fellowshipping with them...

It definitely feels different and sure enough exciting, just hearing all the dreams and visions for God, the faith and energy of all these people.

I definitely enjoy Bernard, Ryan, Elyn and Siok Mei... They are cool la... helping Nicholas in times of need. Rising up to the occasion.
I sure missed the times i talk to wei min, michelle, jazreel, and jia hui... It was like 2 years ago that we last chatted for long... Ha-ha...
Not forgetting, xiao hong and roderick. My mighty man and woman fighting the war of life together with pastors and leaders alongside... Just holding up whatever they can, above and beyond themselves.

True to the words - small man with big dreams and big hearts can do BIG things...
It is all about the spirit of the person...

This week is going to be so so exciting....
In 16 hours time, we will be having our very last HOGC combine service at Paya Lebar... We sure are gonna miss the time. After that, we will leap !!!

Following 3 days later, will be Nick Vujicic, first step into Heart of God Church, the house of God... It is going to be earth shaking, hell trembling, heaven opening, heart warming, eyes widening, jaws dropping experience!! Many friends are going to be saved.
So leaders, buck up and lets get some work done, man! It is gonna be awesome!

Sneaking 2 days after will be the not-to-be missed service with Pastor Kong. having the man of God stepping right into our place and teaching us the word of God... you got to learn how to spell "honor" backwards to fully express that word!!

BIG, big, exciting... I can't describe it.. you got to come and see for yourself!!

See you there man...
Signing out now....

What a school

2008-10-29T12:46:00.002+08:00

Ow.. I was a bad bad student....

Today's class started at 8am... Though i managed to scrambled out of bed at 6.45am and then reach school on time, I was totally restless.

I still manage to do the tutorial questions and almost all were correct, but I was still pretty drowsy...

After that, we went for a quick breakfast and I had tummy ache... Probably because I was joking too much last night...

Ha-ha.
It was really funny...
I just realized Winifred's address is starbutt...
I was shocked and amused at it but she said it was created during sec 2
Then during that split moment, i just thought of stomach... but i played around with english, and spelled it starmach....
This was all inspired by Fifi because I saw "Gsus" in her msn nick before...
She is really a musician... haha...

Anyway, here is the story of starmach... and thus, my starmache. So i was in the toilet, twice today...

Now... going to do something crazy for TP NEW GEN!!! haha... pretty shy.. but well, its all worth for the lost souls!!!

Make a change, make an impact! See ya..

Revalation about revelation

2008-10-28T18:41:00.002+08:00

Have you ever felt that you realize the power of 'something', that it is so amazing and you did not know about it before... You will be so shocked and amazed and definitely be asking "how come I did not about it sooner!"...

Then... have you ever wonder that the power of realizing something is even more powerful, because? You will wonder why people can get revelations, and you have yet to experience that...

But until one day when you finally got your own revelation, you will be even more amazed than anybody else.

You will realize the power of a revelation.

I call that a revelation of revelations.
I love learning new things and being inspired...

I have my share today...
It is on wisdom and good fear... These both propels you towards your fulfilled destiny...

How about you?

*piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*, i can sense Shi Jie hinting me that I am talking about church again.. Ha-ha. can't blame me ah... it is my life.. It is too good to be missed.. =) smirks...
Don't trust me, come and see for yourself ah... You can read all my previous posts...

Today had a fun time hanging out with my friends, Xiao Hong, Ai Lin, Alton, Rachel, Suk Wah and Shu Qing... They are funny man... Their jokes, their laughters... My headache was healed by them... LOL...

Gratitude

2008-10-20T02:30:00.000+08:00

This word 'gratitude' just rang my mind recently and now, so I am letting it out.
I have been praying for my pastors and my leaders daily for 1 week already and everyday my heart just gets warmer, and also, gratified.
If there is any one time where you experience an inability to express your deepest feelings for someone or something, that is how I feel towards Pastors and Leaders.
I thank God for 'tongues' for it truly expresses our feelings through the medium of the HS. No wonder, God calls HS the Comforter, the Helper, and many more... He is truly omnipotent-potent...

Last Sunday was Charleston's debut preaching in the main service, with around 400 people! I tell you, if you are not there, you missed a whole lot!
It was so anointed, and Charleston really seems so much like pastors...
I am so inspired. I bet you are too...

In a nutshell, Charleston taught us about the 3 characteristics that a leader should have, be it you are an existing leader or aspire to become a leader.
1) A leader bears the burden
2) A leader has the fear of God
3) A leader is dedicated and committed

1: Bearing the burden
It is so different but yet it is so important that in HoGc, we want to bear the burden of our psts and leaders. In many places, leaders arises for the sake of title and passion.

But deep down in the hearts and spirits of HoGc leaders, they truly do what they do, so as to reduce the burden and to help carry more.

2. Fear of God
Fear motivates. Fear prevents sinning.
Good fear keeps you in awe[of God] and draws you closer to know the truth.
Bad fear shows you're timid and makes you stagnant.
A leader do the things because they fear substandard; they fear mediocrity.
I pray because I fear losing the presence of God in my life.
I proclaim Christ because I fear people not given a chance to know about the truth!

3. Dedication and Commitment
A leader is dedicated to their people because they are God's people, and they are to bring their people towards their fullest destiny in God.
A leader is committed then even in times of fatigue and busyness, they still minister to their people whenever necessary.

It takes a different breed of people to be a HoGc leader. If you have what it takes, be proud of it.
I thank God that my Pastors and Leaders are carried my burden when I was down. So now I want to carry theirs!
I thank God again that they allow me to observe the way they live their lives fearing God and keeping holiness.
I thank God another time for they were dedicated to build me to be where I am today.
Therefore, gratitude is what I feel...

And here I have a video to show you about how a group of youth were showing their gratitude towards their leader.

Enjoy.. and be encouraged... This is Heart of God church...

Good news

2008-10-16T03:38:00.002+08:00

Today is just a bombard of news.... It has been the cry of my heart to be able to do this so here I am...

Great day, great God...

Great Pastors, great church

Great people, great news!!

I am so happy that C5 had 3 new friends last weekend. More than that, people like Shu Qing has really grown so much. She is so hungry for more of God, and teachings from the church. Her heart is so open and submissive to the things that her leaders say. In contrary to her old introvert nature, she is now an atmosphere builder!!! Isn't this worth many hand claps for the power of God! And most importantly, she is constantly doing all that she can to tell her friends and loved ones about a life with Jesus. That is 1 courageous and loving spirit!

I delight in seeing her grow!! Ha-ha... I believe God is smiling too...

Then also, another person that I want to talk about is Audrey!! She is bringing 1 friend next weekend! She has the heart for others now... Seeing how other people needs Jesus so she invited them to church. This is so brave of her... So i was encouraging her to go out with other CG members which they did so, immediately after I said it... That is so fast and amazing...
Keep this up, Audrey.. you will keep growing in your life.

I would still want to talk about C5. I am not biased, but just that I am spending more time with them now! We must say that C5 has been praying a lot more especially xiao hong, ai lin and myself... Right now, we are so united and focused...

Hope

2008-10-13T17:41:00.002+08:00

last weekend was an intimate service - I call it. Pastor shared with us their deep thoughts .

That's what makes HOGC a family, and not just an organization.

Hope is the main message. The hope after life, the hope for the future, the hope for now.
In life, there are many times where you need to exercise hope while you send someone off to a faraway nearby place, knowing that they will be with the Lord. That is heaven, for us... and you.

But you need to work it out ONCE for yourself, whether you will have hope in what you believe in and your future, your life after death....

it sounds quite contrary, doesn't it... Life after death... How can someone have life after death.
In Christ, it is definitely possible. Christ did it, and so can we, if we have Him in our lives.

Now, that is our hope! Replenished by His Word.

Pastor How then went on to share with us a simplified theology of the process of creation-recreation.
It compared the creation of Earth, with the creation of human.
1) Creation sets
2) Chaos come in, void occurs, darkness sets in
3) The Spirit of God hovers and incubates
4) The Word of God sets forth
5) Recreation happens

True for our physical world, true for us human
We are all borne a child of God. That was creation by God for mankind.
But the sad thing is sin sets into the hearts of man, and causes chaos. The life of God is not in man anymore so spiritual void sets in, and causes darkness as there is no light of Christ.
By prayer and supernaturalism, the Holy Spirit hovers and begins to work in the hearts of man. That prepares it for the Word of God.
Thus when ready, God speaks, either directly, or through the mouth of man, to crack open the hearts for submission and obedience and followship.
Therefore, recreation starts happening, and a new life is created, in Christ, in spirit. We call it a new man. That’s why, Christians are considered to have a new life. From that moment onwards, God begins to work in the heart further more to change the character, value system, hearts, spirit, and instill HOPE.

True for the world, true for mankind… God has his methods and double mention is still His forte.
I love my God. I get to know His style now and then, it is so interesting. I love my Bible. I never get bored of it…

Hope, I pray, be with you!

2008-10-10T16:07:00.002+08:00

Revival

2008-10-06T14:24:00.002+08:00

Wow... it is already the 6th of October!!!

Just 1 blink and you will be at 2009... time really flies.
It has been an exciting September. I realized it must be so exciting that I did not even want to blog about it... Just too engrossed with day-to-day events..

but well, because a whole load of Oct, Nov and Dec events come up and shock my life around again, let me just blog and update what has been going through my mind recently...

1) Church has grown 200 people for the past 2 and a half months. This is phenomenal! It is beyond descriptive words... We are so thrilled...
Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, hearts have not imagine, what God has installed for us to come... The future is going to be even more amazing.

2) A whole new batch of CGLs are doing so well... As someone who have walked the path before, I feel so proud of them!! I believe Pastors are so proud of them as well. They shall set a standard and a path for the next batch of CGLs to rise up... They will be chain, a flow, batches of teamwork, connection, and chemistry, DNA, spirit......a generation!

3) I am going for lunch now.. =) update more again...

Haha.

awesome revelation

2008-09-09T03:51:00.002+08:00

God made you what you are to do what you are to do...

Let me repeat it: God made you WHAT YOU ARE to do what YOU ARE to do.

Everyone of us has talents. No doubt, it is attainable, train-able, teach-able, practice-able, cultivat-able. In short, talents can be grown...

But 1 thing that is unchangeable and critical is that we all have a purpose in life...

And that is determined by our Creator - God.

God gave a purpose to do something. Each and every individual one of us has a CERTAIN aim.

And God is a just God. He will not tell you to do something when you can't do it.

He is a God of provision.

Jehovah Jireh - God provides.

What is provision = provide for the vision.

That's why when you know more about yourself, naturally you will know what is your purpose. But the sad thing is that people gets too busy with finding out about themselves and growing their potential, and trying to make a living with it that they neglect their purpose.

For me... it was in God's way... God told me my purpose. I doubt it... didn't trust it...yet. felt unsure about myself... but then, God began to reveal to me about my potentials, about MYSELF, my passion in life, what i GENUINELY love to do...

THAT is what God made me to do what I am to do!!!

Do you know yours yet?

Break the silence

2008-09-05T16:06:00.002+08:00

Woah... Realised that my previous post was really solemn and silent...

Ha-ha. It adds spice to my blog.

Life is not always up and down, but its how high you keep climbing though you get down...

And I am like that.

I am handling more things in staff and also in the zone. I felt like superman... But at the same time, I felt a bit sad because I am "not so free" to spend time with people or follow Roy...

There were a few times where I told Roy I can't find him because I have to rush some staff work... Aw... Though Roy was okay with it, but I felt that pinch in my heart...

My Pastors and Leaders always spare the thought for us and don't want us to over-work, feel obliged, pressured, or even make things difficult for us... They would never take advantage of me.

But to me, I hope I can be an advantage to them, I can be a help, be a support...

Greater responsibility, ease the burden...

Few more quotes:

I forgot... aw... ahaha. I will post it up when i remember them.

1400,800,250,100!!!

Someone is stalking me!!!!

2008-09-03T02:33:00.002+08:00

I can feel the tension rising...

The breathing down my neck...

The tapping of feets, tip-toeing nearer to me...

Someone is following me...

Sounds like some movie series. Anyway, just to make it more straight-forward.

I felt trouble and problems paid me a visit today. I did not invite them, but guess i attracted them...

It is always like that. They are attracted to greatness. Whenever someone or something becomes better, they gets nearer.

Higher level, higher devil...

Well too bad, I know it even when you are trying too hard...

So sorry to see you sigh, and agitated.

I have peace, and you are pissed.

I have Jesus and you are losers.

I am a winner and you a whiner.

I am favoured but you are evil.

Whatever it is, you are not going to tear me down... I live on a rock.. =P

Responsibility! - rhema

Forever

2008-09-02T02:30:00.000+08:00

1 word that summarized the essence of my post today.

this is the cry of my spirit. so high pitched that you can't hear it, and so distinct that people miss it.

And you shall hear it now, clear and free.

saturday and sunday have been fulfilling except for a few cancelled meetings.

There has been many good news so far. it just comes all the time. it's forever-more!

God is the same forever and ever...

C zone is 190!!! we have been growing for the 3 weeks already. If we keep it up... we will get 300 in no time!!! wahah...

i shall end here to continue another post

I am posting this only now because I forgot to finish it up the previous times. =)

Interesting huh...

At last, it has come!

2008-08-31T04:51:00.002+08:00

After days of ploughing...
after weeks of waiting...
after months of perservering...
after years of hoping...

It has come..............

C Zone breakthrough 200 - on a NORMAL weekend services.
It is easy to hit 200 on big day events like Christmas, Easter, Red Rain, FOP, etc...

But to do it normally is extraordinary...
We did it, with God.

Trully, it is so easy!!!

1 lesson we all can learn is TEAMWORK.
We pray all that we can... Yes, let's not deny that...
We work hard... definitely inspiring...

But 1 thing that we are really good at is we work as a team.
Roy would be there, Nicholas is around, Me and Christopher would help think of things for the zone to take notice and carry out...

This goes on every week and things are tight. We carry out Charleston's instructions, and carry it out...

Just do it - NikeFaith without works is dead - James
Impossible is nothing - Adidas
Nothing is impossible - Jesus

September is going to be a super exciting week!! Don't miss it. But more than that.

BE PART OF IT!!!

I feel so honored to be part of this team, and this reveival!! see you around.

gratefulness

2008-08-26T19:33:00.002+08:00

A picture is worth a thousand words.
A video is worth millions of words.

Let me preach gratefulness.
If even animals can do it, humans (with all their intellectual, and emotions) should do it even more.

Leadership II

2008-08-26T00:52:00.003+08:00

Leadership
Take leadership over your will.
God just gave me revelation about this.

The thing is that, if you know if something is good, you will want to do it.
But sometimes circumstances do not support it, and in fact prevents it.

So in such situations, what do you do?

You got to have a strong will power to stand firm in what you believe.
Good things do not come free, you got to achieve it.
It is a lot of commitment and adrenaline pump.

A leader is someone who is strong-willed but yet submissive under God's rule - obedient.

QUOTES

To God, a heart of flame.
To people, a heart of love.
To myself, a heart of steel.

They are hovering above the surface of my mind.

Sometimes, i really hope that God can just control us.

the only concern i have is that I am controlled for the good cost. That, i wouldn't mind.
Haven't you realise that it doesn't pay to do bad, or to reap bad.
But it pays and requires effort to do good or to reap good.

How i hope that God could just control me and keep doing the mundane, and the routine.
Because that is what it takes to reap good... Hardship is what it taste like...

Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

GAMBATTE!!! Study hard... lol...

pray, pray....it shall be done!

Leadership

2008-08-20T00:20:00.003+08:00

A mighty general just conquered a city and was travelling towards another city when he saw an old man.

General: Who are you?
Old Man: I am a king?
General: You are a king? Ha-ha. I just conquered the outskirts of south-west china. How about you? Where is your kingdom?
Old Man: I am a King over myself.

Greater is he who rules over his own house than he who rules over kingdoms but not over himself.

The worst thing that could ever happen is that a "seemingly" great leader is found to have bad integrity character, lust, womanizing attitude, pride, bitterness, promiscuous behaviour. oh man... save your breadth. That is going to be so bad. It is so dangerous, especially if you are his followers. Thank God for Pst How and Pst Lia... They never make me feel insecure.

From them, I learn that leadership is inspiring and hence, leading people to a destination, or progress in life. Before you begin to lead others, you have to lead yourself first.
Leadership must always be inspired, be a role-model, be an example.
Leadership must not be forced, nor instilled.

Henceforth, before you lead others, you must be a leader over your own life.

So Pastor taught us about Self-leadership.
Specifically leading the 3 part being of a human - spirit, soul and flesh.

In life, you can go to many teachings, seminars, etc, but there are some that you just remember even without taking down notes. You see the importance of it and you just carry it with you all your life.
You talk about it.
You live it through.
You breathe it in.
You let it out.
You influence others.

Self-leadership is about it...
Discipline is what you'll need. Lead yourself. see a change.

photoseum

2008-08-19T01:54:00.000+08:00

Decided to clear my HP space and upload all my photos on blog.. ahaha. here goes!!! Photo gallery for the day...
This is a tree trunk broken off from the main trunk. I wouldn't regard it as a branch because it is too thick compared to 1.

This is taken at fullerton hotel... so pretty... The malay word for pretty is chanteh.

A selfish man sleeping in the MRT train. Some uncle went to actually poke his shoulder and wake him up but he didn't move. Hmmm. Technically, i doubt he can sleep peacefully because any slight movement, he would have roll off to the ground. This is a cat in a drain. I was on the way home from market and i saw this teenage girl taking photo of the drain. I thought she was doing some school science project but as i walked pass, i saw something move beneath. then i realised it was the cat. So i behave likewise... =) and here is the photo i took. i believe she has the same 1 as me...This is a stall toppled over at orchard shaw plaza. I guessed it was because of the rain and wind as it was raining that morning. The goods were crushed underneath. Interesting view...

More pohotos. This is Jin Yuan. We celebrated his birthday 2 weeks ago. He is 20 already. In MI, taking his A levels in 2 months time. He is really a joy to lead... He doesn't give trouble at all. Love to serve, would help at times of need, without any complain. Would remember times where he would help me take my things when i forgot to take them after service. he would just carry them for me until i was looking for it.
This is a table of refreshments - 1 of the many that we prepared for post-powerhouse activity. We decorate it nicely for easy distribution... Our youth are just so servant-hearted.. this is a shoe that i tried... it looks like the one pastor and charleston has... argh... i am trying to save up for this. semi-formal shoe... =) 4d-ing it...

Another example of the shoe... on the rack.. =)
