Revelation of problem

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

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.

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

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.
