BEAUTIFUL SCRATCH

Date: 28′Feb’ 2009
Venue: Plaza Singapura’s Macdonald’s.
Time: 7.15pm
Mood: Happy. Ecstatic. Elated. High.

Incident:
*Joan reached out to the side pocket of her big bag
*Reached out for her phone
*Noticed a white thin thread on her handphone screen
*Attempted to wipe it off with her fingers
*Leaving many visible fingerprints on her handphone screen
*Only to realize that that it wasn’t a ‘white thin thread’
*It was a deep 1cm scratch
*Squinted her eyes to see if it really is a scratch
*Inner voice told her ”It’s a scratch, you dumbo”
* ”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
-THE END-

Ohyes, I swear I could hear my heart break right at that minute. This phone means much to me ‘cuz it’s the very first phone bought by my parents. Previously, I used phones which were being ”passed down” by either my sister or my parents. So yeah, it meant a whole lot. I was really really really down. I called my dad and told him ’bout it and he blamed me for removing the screen protector. Urgh, talk about rubbing salt into my wound. =.=

Yeah, I admit I emo-ed for a short while and not wanting to allow my emotions to affect the people around me, I went aside and talked to God.

Joan: ”OhGodddd. Very heart pain leh! I didn’t even drop it, where on earth did that stupid scratch came from!?”
God: ”It’s just a mere scratch, for goodness sake! At least you didn’t lost your phone. At least it still function well. At least you can still make phone calls. At least you can still send text messages.”
Joan: -Speechless- ”Okay lor, you win. As usual.”

Yeah, say me childish, I dont care. Ha! But yeah, God made perfect sense. As I continued to listen to Him, these are what I’d learnt:

God sees beond our scratches.
We’re imperfect. We have our flaws. God sees it. He knows it. But yet He love us still. Just like how He reminded me of being grateful that my phone’s still functioning well, His focus, is never ever on the ’scratches’ within us. He sees beyond that. He see the light shining within us which others fails to see. He sees the potential waiting to be unleashed. He sees how much more better and successful we can be. Even when we fail him, nothing, and I really mean nothing, is able to change His mind in believing and seeing the best within us.
Somtimes, we focus too much on the little scratch, rather than the big picture.
For a few good minutes, my eyes were glued to the 1cm scratch, feeling really sorry for it. But as I tried to see like how God sees, to step back and see the phone as a whole, the scratch was not as evident as before, it’s almost invisible. Conclusion? I’d been squinting my eyes for too long, focusing on the scratch for too long and dwelling in self-pity for too long.

I called Nokia and asked if I’m still able to get it fixed with the warranty given. But I gave a second thought and well, perhaps I can just leave the scratch there as it is. After all, it’d taught me a great lesson and yes, it’s a beautiful scratch.

God still knows me best, speaking to me in daily/random incidents.
For the 9349876576964985796 times, I wanna proclaim loudly:

GOD! YOU ROCK!!

New Life On Death Row

2009-02-01T15:21:00.006+08:00

Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, i say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
-Luke 23:43

We see the opposite responses to Jesus from the two thieves who were crucified next to Him: One blasphemed, the other believed (Luke 23:39-42). We rejoice over the conversion of the one and Christ's words to him: "Today you will be with Me in Paradise" (v.43). Now, as then, Jesus saves those who truly repent - even at "the eleventh hour." (:

One such person was Lester Ezzell, who was on death row in Florida. When his former Sunday school teacher Curtis Oakes travelled 750 miles to visit him in prison, Lester said, "You won't give up, do you?" Though Lester still won't listen to the gospel, Curtis gave him a New Testament and urged him to read it.

Later, Lester wrote several letters to Curtis. The first one brought news of his conversion. His final letter in early 1957 read: "By the time you receive this, my life will have been taken. I will have paid for the wrong I have done. But I want you to know this - with that little Testament, and by the grace of God, I have led 47 people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I just thank you for no giving up on me."

When we witness to others about Jesus Christ, some may not repent until late in life. So, let's never give up on anyone :D

Lord, lay some soul upon my heart,
And love that soul through me;
And may I nobly do my part
To win that soul for Thee

Mark 8:34

2009-01-30T23:38:00.002+08:00

And Jesus called [to Him] the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me].

as i reflect upon my week 4, this verse came into my mind.
did i deny myself?
take up the cross?
no.

schedule's tight, tight, tight.
but i have to deny my old self, to be what God wants me to be.
and to take up the cross, not run away from it.

sometimes, human really needs reminder again and again.

Give Thanks To God In All Circumstances.

2009-01-21T21:41:00.003+08:00

<<1thess5:18>>give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

This was the verse that kept flashing in my mind recently.Though i did not do well for my o level,i will still smile to God and thank Him for it.Cause it was the process that makes me wanna give thanks to God.God reminded me on the topics and those key points to remember.And He also used my church mate to guide me through few hours before O level papers:D God was so good to me!THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING!
Just some questions to ask yourself.Do you still praise God in the midst of your hardships?Do you still acknowledge that God is the one who has been helping you and guide you through problems?Will you continue to seek God everyday even if God place so many problems into your life?Will you still seek God after problems had been solved or just only seek God when problems arise?

1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18

2009-01-12T21:39:00.003+08:00

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

this verse just came into my mind.

sometimes it's real easy to give thanks to God, be joyful to God in good times.
then bad times come, we grumble to God and bomb God with "Whys"

we have to learn to give thanks before the result comes.

because if we don't,
we tend to lose our faith in the things that we're doing for God,
we forget who's the one controlling the situation,
then we'll not be joyful and we won't pray continually.

why not just learn to give thanks to God in everything?
there's a power in praising God.

In the book, ''Consipracy Of Kindness'', Steve Sjogren stated that the attempts at sharing the Gospel to others could be divided into 3 phases. The ''Shark Phase'' , ''Carp Phase'' and the ''Dolphin Phase'' .

SHARK PHASE
People who fall into this Category are people who:
*Tends to be movers who love to take over any project at hand
*Known for getting a lot done but not necessarily without incident
*Tends to traumatize everyone around them with their unfettered aggression
*Has no long-term prospects for productivitiy
*Fits the picture of all the worse characteristics of a pushy salesman

CARP PHASE
(Carps has the opposite nature of aggresive sharks) and people who falls into this category are people who:
*Moves through life in a lethargic manner
*Whose primary aim in life is to seek the safe route to avoid responsibility
*Doesn't make things happen. They watch things happen.
Carps are sometimes former zealots for the Lord, believers who have become discouraged along the way and couldn't take the pressure. Their love for God or people hasn't necessarily grown dim; they've just grown tired of militant evangelism.

DOLPHIN PHASE
(Dolphins have the combined strengths of both sharks and carps) and people who fall into this category are peope who:
*Are enthusiastic and positive, yet keeps the issue of personal responsibility in proper balance
*Moves through life with a deep sense of purpose, whereas the shark tends to be overly responsible and the carp accomplishes little or nothing.
*Has a mission in life, but still has fun on the way to the goal

This is interesting, isn't it? Which phase are you at right now? Personally, I used to hang around the carp phase. True, often times, my aim was to always seek the safe route, not much of avoiding responsibilites, but more of the pressure faced. Over my 2 years of walk in Christ, I started out being at the shark phase and hey, I was quite an enthusiastic newbie who's very ''steady'' with evangelism. However, as time passes by, I grew tired of it and was very much discouraged by the rejections that I'd received from people so much so that it pressurizes me from sharing the Gospel. Yes, I love the Lord. But I never had the courage to get out of the house of the Lord. It was definitely a struggle which I'd took quite a long while to get out from.

However, much later, I began to realize that the pressure for success in evangelism shouldn't even be weighed upon my own shoulders. Nor does it be stressed upon the person whom I'm evangelising to. Then where does my pressure/expectations be rest upon? Right from where it should have remained from the beginning- on God! And true enough, rejections (and sometimes even criticisms) from evangelism is inevitable and completely normal. As George Bernard Shaw says, ''Anything worth doing is worth doing wrong.'' It took me a long long while to learn not to demand success but to see every opportunity (small or big ones) as a learning experience that would mould me into a more capable/mature servant of Christ. Trust me, the fear of failure is much scary and worse off than failure itself. It crippled me from taking a step out of my comfort zone and attempting to give my best.

Alongside with Joshua and Weiloong, the 3 of us went down to Sun Plaza last afternoon to evangelise. As I shoved aside my fears and concerns, I realized how much more God was using me! In 'bout an hour's time, I managed to approach 15people. Of course, the enthusiasm displayed by Joshua and Weiloong had also encouraged me a lot too. (You know how sometimes we see in the telly many cockroaches dispersing out from every corner and someone slapping it real hard with a sandal, not giving any cockroaches a miss?) --Their spirit was exactly like that! Haha! I am not exaggerating. Hmm, perhaps the only difference is that they were dealing with human beings, not pests. Haha!

And well, because of that afternoon, my heart was filled with a sense of fulfillment and Joy for the rest of the entire day. Perhaps the Joy of evangelism is not only witnessing people coming to know Christ, but also seeing yourself growing and starting to take that teeny-weeny step of courage and faith to spread the Gospel (:

Philippians 3

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

I want to apply to keep on moving forward,
whether my past is a victorious one, or is a not so good one.

Philippians 4

I want to learn to be contented in life.
Because God will surely meet our needs in one way or not.

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Shining as Stars

12Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16as you hold out^[c] the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. 17But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

application here that i want to make is this that always renew our heart and straining towards to what is in front, we cant change anything that we do last time, so throw away our moments, God's gonna give us even more memoriable moments as we do His work day by day. We can, with God, change the future.

Phili 3

7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

- We can complete CG08 when we follow the example of Christ

12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

- Past failure shouldn't hinder us from seeing nearing VICTORY

20But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

- Press on to see Jesus coming back =] focus on the eternal side

v5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death
— even death on a cross!

Humble ourselves, throw our pride aside,

9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

and God will bless.

2008-12-19T00:32:00.004+08:00

Application and learning points for Philippians 1: Always have a thanksgiving spirit and being prayerful like Paul. Give thanks to God in all circumstances. His life has certainly been a testimony for us to learn from. Able to rejoice in tough times is definitely tough. And Paul did it. That kind of spirit is something we ought to learn from.

Applications and learning points for Philippians 2: A chapter on humility. Christ has truly set the example of being humble. Jesus Christ our God made Himself nothing and came onto Earth as a human, taking up the cross for ours sins without complaining. It reminds me of the times that i actually complain that outreaching was tough and stuffs. Not admitting mistakes even though I am in wrong. But after knowing what Jesus has gone through, what we did and gone through was nothing. We have to learn to be more humble, open to corrections and be willing to serve etc.

Jiayou in everything you do!!! God will make it possible. Whatever the results are, do give thanks to God. =)

Philippians 1 Application.
9And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, 11filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

This is a prayer that i wanna make too. Paul's an awesome guy for God. yeah, i dont have much to say. But something i admire in Paul is this- Kingdom Minded. that's what i feel..well.:D I want to do the work of Christ till He comes, and when i do His work, no matter what, Praise Him.

Philippians 2 application
12Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

like what's it written, what more can i say. :D i wanna claim this promise. 'for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. ' it is GOD! not us! something i wanna claim when i outreach tmr at canberra. well, approaching parents is NOT my style, talking to them is even NOT ME!! But yet, i wanna claim this promise, that it is GOD who Works in ME to WILL and to ACT according to HIS good purpose. No matter what, i believe God's gonna use me to do wonders tmr at canberra. I believe. :D

Encouraged me that having God in us causes us to not being afraid of anything else. And cause Paul's walk with God was very close, most of his brothers in the Lord had been encouraged to speak the WOG without fear. I want to apply that we should walk with God closely, pray, and not be frightened in any way. I've also learnt that we should not only believe in Christ, but to suffer with Him too - Anqi

God is telling me to do quiet time everyday and thank him in every prayer. This shows the significance and importance of it and Im going to put it into practice, to show the love I have for him and to obey his word-Yongqing

This fella really loves God.
Whatever storms we have, see it in such a way that it'll help deliver us (v19) but not as something which would obstruct/hinder us from serving our Lord. In addition, Paul's spriit in standing so strong & firm really encouraged me alot. He saw that whatver that he'd gone thorough (good or bad) actually helped contribute to the advance of the Gospel(v12). These are all the things that I want to strive towards to. (Woo.. Joyce, now i know why he's your idol)- Joan

20I eagerly expect and hope that i will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or death.
-----Day 1-----I will preach in no ashamed, but in the courage of Paul & Eshther to everyone ;D During outreach, I will share the gospel truthfully to the passer-by and pray for their life to be saved. I wanna life to be save, God! I wanna expand your kingdom and make more brothers and sisters :DDD I can't imagine the people you love,tortured in the hell by Satan >:( How bad could it be? Very very bad ): So i will pray, for the courage , to share what i know about You to everyone,Lord. Because i love you! Amen :DDD -Irina

V14;
Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the
Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of
God more courageously and fearlessly.

When I did my QT, I was reminded of the seed.
A seed has to die before it can multiply to produce many more fruits.
(Death: Denial to self and denial to one's right)
Paul's difficulties encouraged the brothers to advance God's Kingdom
with much more fervor.

In the same way, when any one of us faces difficulties but holds on,
it might just just inspire and encourage people around us (:
So don't lose heart yea.

Application Point:
Paul did not let his persecution stop him from preaching the Word,
so why should we let anything stop us?
We are serving the same God Paul did (:

at first, i called 2 of my contacts but they did not pick up my call.
But in the end, they replied to my sms!
and one of them even agreed to go out with me after 8 Dec.

yeah! thank God that He revived 3 of my dry contacts.

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 (:

2008-11-26T00:18:00.002+08:00

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 (:

2008-11-25T22:44:00.007+08:00

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!

2008-11-18T23:43:00.001+08:00

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

2008-11-11T17:36:00.000+08:00

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.

2008-11-08T15:49:00.000+08:00

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. [=

Cyril

Faith.

2008-11-08T14:12:00.000+08:00

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!

2008-11-06T16:43:00.000+08:00

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=)

2008-11-03T17:21:00.000+08:00

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

2008-11-03T15:22:00.000+08:00

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

2008-11-03T04:25:00.000+08:00

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!!!

Inspired!!

2008-10-30T13:26:00.000+08:00

yo it's me again. HAHA, ohwell, just read finish a brother from CCHY, Jiajun's blog. and this post is inspiring. HAHA, leaves me a great impact. it really shows me, How great is our God.

As I look back into my life, thinking and reminiscing about the days of my life, past and present, I can’t help but to be amazed, at the works and wonders God had done in my life. I could fill an encyclopedia if I were to write down all that God has done in my life!

The one thing in which drives me to serve God is God’s love, grace, and mercy in my life that’s enabled me to live on this Earth now. God’s love for us is so great, that even angels are amazed at it. I always remind myself of God’s love in my life to motivate me further to serve fervently for God. We should behold what manner of love God has bestowed on us, that we can be called Children of God!

This love that change people’s lives has to come from an Almighty God. And for God to do such great things in my life only proves that my God is not an ordinary unseen being. How great we think of God is to us, will be how great God can be and will be to us! If God is just as great as a teacher, then a teacher he will be as great as it to you.

God is, however, much more greater in me.

My God is indescribable,
My God is awesome,
My God is all-knowing, all-powerful, all-perfect,
My God is omnipotent and omniscience,
My God is compassionate,
My God is a consuming fire,
My God is gracious,
My God is sovereign,
My God is faithful,
My God is merciful,
My God is the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings,
My God is everlasting and everliving,
My God is my strength, my shield, my refuge,
My God is righteous and just,
My God is my best friend,
My God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living,
My God is holy,
My God is not a God of disorder, but a God of peace,
My God is light,
My God is love,
My God is the King of glory, the King of majesty, and the King of our lives,
My God is the lover of my heart, the author of my life, the power of my soul,

This is my God. Who is your God?

Remember, our God is not just some soft toy to comfort us when we are down, not just some teacher that teaches us, not just some parent who takes care of us, not just some philanthrophist that randomly renders help.

But our God, is what we really need in our lives.

hurhur. this is what a sec 2 guy can write!!! Haha, hey, this really is my God leh. [=

All the lost souls out there

2008-10-30T13:21:00.000+08:00

There are alot of lost souls out there......and we must do something about it!!!!It not the numbers that matter but the Souls that matters!!!You would not want to see your family,friend and the people that are close to you going to hell.....We really MUST reach out for them or else you would see them going to hell.......So we must really do something about it,not just saying that we belive in God,chiong all out for God and not doing anything..........YEAH!!sean

2008-10-30T13:16:00.000+08:00

2008-10-27T14:53:00.000+08:00

i've been thinking about this for a while.
whatever things we do, are we allowing God to take control.
No matter is it doing confirmation,
leading simple roles,
In times of trouble,
we need to PRAY!

When we pray, God can work.
when the things that we prayed for answer, thank God.
and we need to keep on praying non-stop,
because satan is working non-stop too.

have a great week ahead!

2008-10-27T05:06:00.000+08:00

This week has rather been a tough week indeed. All the papers flooding in, that includes chemistry ,maths etc. I used up 7 black pens in the whole exams.But nevertheless, God really show me many miracles and his work in people's life which cause me to ponder about God's love and his ministry.

Let me share a little about my conviction I've got, which is this word call Purpose. Everyone has a purpose in our lifes, specifically from God. And the truth about this Purpose on our hands is that no one else on earth can help you with it. Because its yours! If we ignore, blood is on your hands. Got blood leh...

As people of God, we should always seek God for a greater purpose. Ask God: What is it that you want me to do in the people's life out there? When you clearly known God's love for others, your purpose, a burden will be stirred. Remember: We're held accountable to this purpose. Don't ignore it, live it out today.

As leader's of God's kingdom, always pray and ask God for HIS purpose in our people's life. Don't allow our rules to surpress what they're expected by God. Know God's standard for our people and help them with it. If we're too focus on our way of helping them grow with OUR purpose, then congratulations. You've just become their God.

Close your eyes for a few seconds, imagine that now a dear one of yours. Be it relatives, close friends or even parents. Now he/she's going to pass away in hospital, just in an hours time. Now you're on a cab heading there, you know that you're going to share the gospel once you reach there. Because its one soul that'll be decided for hell. In this journey, this cab, how do you feel? Anxiety, urged. Do you feel the same way when you see this people in streets?

Its natural to love those who loves Christ;
But it's our duty to love the lost souls out there
-Joshua

The world needs God. Amen?

wow tell u all something amazing even my group did not bring alot of visitors , but now after evaluating , i found out that actually most of my sheeps grow spiritually . wahahahaha ... God told miie this , so what if my group brings alot of visitors , if they do not walk right with God , it is still totally pointless , God does not want us to not walk right with him , and he told miie this , if i walk right with him and my people also walk right with him , he will definitely bless us ...

actually ifound out that a few of my sheeps had grown alot , from a person who always make his leader cry to a person who really protect his leader , from a person who hack care of his family in chist to a person who love his spiritual family and love God . after seeing this , i was kind of encourage and i really want to thank God for everything , another good news is one of my classmate had came to know God ...yay...wahahahahahahahahahaha

The little things you do everyday have a great impact on others than you might think.
A smile, rather than a frown, can make someone's day.
A kind word, instead of a criticism lifts an individual's spirits rather than dragging him down.
You hold the power to make another person's life better or worse by the things you do today.
Those closest to you are most affected by what you say and do.
Use that power wisely (:
Everybody shall use that power you have on me tomorrow!

Recognizing His Identity

2008-10-19T17:13:00.000+08:00

I went online for a few teachings and I thought it would be good to share it with you all..

You know, it's kinda linked to what Pastor Jeff had said last evening during prayermeet and toay, during service. When we're facing problems, more often than not, we ask God to take away the problems, or decrease the level of intensity of the situation rather than asking God to 'level-up' our Faith, Courage, Trust and Reliance on Him.

As soon as you've made the pact with God to serve Him and extend His kingdom, Satan is already scheming and planning on how to make you fall flat on the ground. People may start to not like you, journeys will seem to be so far, dreams are gonna appear to be impossible to fulfill, goals and ambitions are gonna seem like it's out of reach. Then we'll begin to ask God ''Why? Why, of all people, why me?'' .. Then, when we fail, we tell God ''I told you so, God. I told you I couldnt handle it. Why did you send me here? I told you I wouldn't be able to pull through'' instead of taking responsibilites of our faults from our failures.

All of us escape from problems most of the time and unknowingly or knowingly, prefers to maintain and stay in our comfort zone. But the truth is, 'Comfort Zone' is never where God wants us to be. He calls us OUT of our comfort zone. The reason why we're alive is simply 'cuz God is just not done with us as yet and He's gonna pressurized you in many ways to move forward and get going.

We get disgruntled and complain of the absence of God when prayers are not answered rather than focusing on who God really is. Many times, we're just so satisfied with our own 'lil sand pit when all along God had wanted to bring us to the beach.

Seriously,
magnifying the problems doesn't help.
worrying doesn't make things any better either.

For me, I'll choose to just shut up and follow His ways.
