North C: Like a CHILD, Like a CHAMPION

Thursday, November 27, 2008

I was reading a friend's friend's blog when i came across this post :D
__________
Her post :

On the way to orchard got an "intresting" old man.
He was talking to an american loudly,

OLDMAN: Believe in Jesus! He is our Father !

Then the American talk back.

OLDMAN: You see ! American are like that! They think about their country !
But they are actually talking about other people country !

AMERICAN: your crazy... very crazy.
(reading newspaper and ignored the oldman.)

Then i was staring at the oldman ._.

he looked at me seriously and said,
"SISTER! Believe in Jesus! Study hard as the holy water pours over your head !"
that... was EMBARRASING =.=

i smile and nodded .

Then he go takkle an indian man.
AHHHA...
A chinaman said " shen jing ping..."

After that he sing Christian songs on the train o.O

The end

( This is what i copy from her blog )

_____________________________________________
My point of view:
WOW. Imagine us singing Christian song aloud on the mrt.
As you can see, the oldman was very desperate for God.
He didn't care anything about his 'mian zi' ( face)
instead, he's telling everyone about Jesus and wanted them to know Christ :D
SO , Let's be desperate as him and share the gospel to EVERYONE , Amen !
( he is in orchard when the oldman said all this, maybe he wanted people to come our church ;D ) Let's complete CG08 together !

Blessing in North C1 (:

God never fail to bless the North C1 brothers and sisters with lots of contacts(: And guess what? We managed to outreach to 10+++ contacts within 2days. Yeah! But the most happening thing was today(: At the start, we went to northbrooks with the heart of expectency, hoping that we will get lots of northbrook contacts. However, God did not answer our prayers. There was no soul to be seen. And we went back to northpoint with discouragements. Though we got so discouraged, it made us continued to persevere on and knowing so strongly in our hearts that God will bless us with contacts. And PRAISE GOD! God blessed us with contacts from Yishun Sec students and also pri6 guys and girls choosing yss as their first choice ! It's so encouraging! All of them are from sec1 and P6 this year(:

From here, i learnt that we should not give up in doing God's work so easily, as God will ANSWER our prayers if we pesevere on!(: Everyone in North C, jiayou! Dont let discouragements to ruin you. The more you are discouraged, all the more you should persevere and let satan cry. lol. Cause discouragement is satan's weapon in destroying us from doing God's work. So let's do our very best and let satan cry like mad.AMEN?! XD

With Love,
Lianna (:

Okay this can be blur. We were having our camp rehearsal, when Xantha say stop. LOL. because man-power not there. I've been reminded by this. Bec ppl dont see the value of how important camp opening is, they wont give their best for it. Never turn up, etc. So i was reminded again, we have to see the Value of What we're doing to give our best for it. Knowing Why are we doing What are we doing. Anyway, enjoy the videos, of cos, it's fake, but, it's funny. :D

Miracle!

let me blog about today.

yeah, finally got my shirts!

& today, liyan, tingting, daniel, sean and me, 5 of us went to outreach at northpoint.
really, walked around the whole northpoint, including the extension.
and we gathered 5 contacts from northbrooks !
actually to me, it's really like God bless,
because last time, when we outreach, there's not even a single northbrooks.
and all the 5 of them are lower secondary students!
yeah! Thank God!!

if you have faith, God will give it to you!

Loving God

seriously, the title has prompted my heart many times.

LOVE .
what's your defination of love?
Get hooked or obsessed in something?

let's say you like something,
you will keep talking about the thing you liked,
you don't care whether people like it or not,
you just keep on talk and talk and talk, non stop.
and when you like a particular thing,
you introduce this thing to other people,
you hope that at the end, they will like what you like too.
you get hooked on this thing until your mum have to yell you to go to bathe.
sometimes, in a bad way,
you are so hooked until you delayed to do many things
or you forget to do homeworks.
you can even sleep later just to do this particular thing you like.

shouldn't we do that for God too?

because if we love God,
we will keep talking how good God is,
we will keep desiring and look forward to meet God everyday.
we got so hooked to the bible,
we worship God everyday.
and with our lips, we share how God bless us.
and everyday we do our ministry for God.

just exactly how you like to do all the things.

Mark 12:30 (Amplified bible)

And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment.

if we love God, naturally our actions will show,
if kind of normal that everything we do,
we just wanna please God.
it sounds easy, but many people did not manage to do it.
then the question is:
Who is God in your life?

Like in Romans 12 : 1-2 [The message]

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

in everything we do,
actually God sees it, He can be please or unhappy.
we keep on saying that we love God,
we wanna do everything to please God ....
talk without action is rubbish,
must as well you save that saliva for swallowing of food.
seriously God doesn't care what you say,
He cares what's in your heart the most.

looking at this, i think i'm a real sinner.
i don't think my life is a pleasing to God one as yet.
Still striving towards perfection.

seriously, i really wonder,
if Jesus is here, right now with me, how am i living my life?
i think i would live really better than now.
then if it's like this,
i must as well live like Jesus is here, at home, everywhere with me now.
but seriously, it can be interesting.
like we're stunned and how Jesus is going to show our past mistakes.
hurhur, can be quite scary though.
but, God still loves us (:

a long post of my thought. gee

Caregroup.

Shall blog about Yesteday, Caregroup. Had Caregroup. After everything, we were asked to drink water. keep drinking and drinking, haha, seems like Leonard's the one that lasted throughout. Then i learn the Value behind this. God's grace is never enough, but we have to keep on perservering to receive it. It will be tough, but let's depend on God and last the race with Him. [=

Faith.

Faith + obedience leads to being a Champion for Christ.

We always know what does it means to obey. Obeying God, obeying leaders, obeying God's word etc. But have we do we know what faith actually means???

-Faith is about believing when we don't see it.

-Faith is about obeying when we don't understand it.

-Faith is about giving when we don't have it.

-Faith is about persisting when we don't feel like it.

-Faith is about trusting when we haven't even get it.

-Faith is thanking before we receive it.

We need to have this kind of faith for CG08!!! So jiayou people!!! Have faith and work hard for it!!!

Serving with you,

Wei Loong. =)

HOHOHO! GOD ROCKS MY SOCKS!

Two days ago, my parents bought me a new phone as a belated birthday gift and I was happily meddling with it. Thereafter my mom asked me if there were any nice songs from my phone and asked if I could send it to her 'cuz her phone's song list was rather empty. Then I started scrolling down the hundred plus list of songs I had and marked some of them which I think Mom would like , and thennnnnnnnn, I saw ''Dao Gao 祷告'' , a song which was composed by this guy in the adults grp. I of course, wouldnt let this golden opportunity by pass me. So I marked it. Then I heard my Mom who was sitting quite far away from me saying ''Dont send me those Jesus Jesus songs uh.'' I grinned(:

Here's the interesting part (:
Just a few hours ago, my Mom came back from work,

Mom: Ehh, thought I told you no to send Christian songs to me?
Me: Woo.. Did I?
Mom: Ya.. the what.. Dao gao..
Me:Ohh.. I think I marked wrongly.
Mom: The song's quite nice
Me: *STUNNED Really?
Mom: Ya.. the lyrics..
Me: *Jaw dropped. Made you tear
Mom: Ya (She said it embarrassingly, ofcourse!)

Hahaha! I was leaping with joy within, I tell you! Thats not the end alright! Here's the best part after she came out from the shower:

Mom: Does it come together with a disc?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YAYYYYYYY!!! HOHOHOHO!!!!!!!!
OhGod, pleaseplease! prompt her to ask me for songs again!

God spoke To me, haha=)

God spoke to me through the sermon yesterday.. and God hit me with this Verse

2 Corinthians 4:7(NLV)

7 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.[a] This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

God tell me that we are like a treasure chest... cause when darkness come we will be a open treasure chest. We are people that will share the Gospel to the Lost people out there.. the Gospel is the treasure in us and we are the fragile jars.. so wad i wan to say is that always shine for God and GIVE YOUR BEST IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. Don't give up OK? !ok!

United

1 Corinthians 1:10 NIV I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

Have you ever been in a situation where it seemed very hard to come to an agreement so everyone decided to "agree to disagree?" Though such an idea springs from good intentions, have you ever wondered if this is an answer that God commends? What does the Bible say? If we agree to disagree, does that mean that one or both of us are wrong? We will have differences of opinion, but perhaps we are meant to work through those differences and, in unity, seek God for an answer He has for us. In Christ, there is a way through which we can be drawn together in likeness of mind and thought--there is no reason we must settle for anything less.

God Promises

God Promises are definitely for us to claim.
God's promises are always a commandment, then the results.
[ Joshua 1:8] Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

What do we deserve to have a powerful God with us to be victorious?
The truth is God has offered us a

[Perfect Partnership].
God offers us a new life, when our hands are stained with the blood of sin and wickedness. Doing things that God hates, loving what the world loves.

Nevertheless, his promises never fails.

Story:
Two men by the name of Arnold and Jazz were best friends.

They were poor, lived a small cottage in the hillside to find themselves struggling with bread and butter daily. One day, a merchant offered them a job, a decent pay for them both.They were excited, promised one another that the money they earned will be split 1/3 each , and the rest for Jazz's Grandmother living expenses, who apparently lived in west.
The first day of 2nd month, they finally claimed what'd they deserved after toiling under the hot sun for hours. The money was split accordingly, and the rest were with Jazz to be pass for living expenses.
Arnold was taking a leisure walk in the streets when he heard a familiar voice in the gambling den. He walked and peeped in. Discovered Jazz with a bulk of cash on his hand.
Arnold walked away immediately.

[ If you were Arnold, will you still split the money without any discontentment the next month accordingly? ]

Jesus was such a man. Without Regrets, he died for us knowing what awaits him. Probably he claimed God's promises as well. Let's thank God for what his promised us and from our lifes, claim what we deserve.

Lastly a reminder for all Racers in Cg08" Let's run this race with God's promises every moment. He never lies and he'll finish what he starts of with. Allow his promises to be our strength to drive us to further BreakThrough.In Cg08".

To end it of, let me share a few promises I've learnt

With our Fears, God promises us his Presence
With our Doubts, God promises us his Assurance
With our Weaknesses, God promises us with his Powers
Amen. -Josh

This week was my holiday week. I haven't been touching the computer for quite a few days. Finally now is the time for me to touch it haha....

Firstly, I want to thank God's word. Whenever I am tired and feel like slacking, His word will always give me the strength to carry on and the comfort that I need to assure me things will be alright with Him around =] Heb 13:5b- "Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you" ... God, I REALLY want to surrender to YOU because you are my creator and you know me the best. In you, I can soar =] Don forget your identity in Christ, you are a CHAMPION with CHRIST!!!

Secondly, I want to thank my CHAMPIONS who have worked hard in this period =] People like Vivien, Daniel, Sean, Joshua, Leonard, Cyril, Weiloong, Joan, YongQing and Anqi. I have a verse to encourage you all....

1 Corinthians 15:58 (New International Version)
58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Let do not give up until CG08 is completed!!! This is our purpose, our calling and our passion. Do it CHAMPIONS!!! I'm in this together with you all too =]

-->The combination of FAITH and OBEDIENCE lead to being a CHAMPION =]

-->North C is the Champions of CG08, AMEN!!!
