You are faithful and true.
Phew, lots of things happened and I’m glad that His songs are the ones that comforts me. At times it’s really getting out of control but I’m starting to trust in His heart and His plan.
Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
The Breakthrough Cafe! A second chance.
Anyway, watched Gamer and wow, it was quite a remarkable show, yup! Ha, hanged out with cliques at Orchard and they were super cool! Got to start working soon! Awesome! (:
I got You to make me feel stronger!
I’m sticking with them! ha (:
Back to blogging, ha! Was an awesome week this week of fellowshiping with the Cellgroup and it was truly enjoyable (: Went bowling with Royston, Meiyan and Meijuan yesterday night and it was fun! Haha. The tiredness came when I’m home and after all it was God who lifted my head up and gave me the discipline to finish up last part of my SIP report. Indeed when you give Him what is precious to you He will listen to you. I’m never despised in His house and there’s no greater place than staying there and finding what I want.
CHC – In Your House
Come into this place
Rejoicing hearts ablaze
How awesome is Your throne O God
Everlasting light
Shining in the night
A firm foundation, strong in You
You gave us Your Kingdom’s keys
We’re changed by Your power and Mercy
Living our destinies, so free
I have found my home
I have found my purpose
In this sanctuary set on Your great love
Living for Your cause
Dreams alive forever more
In Your house, in Your house
We find our home
Your city on a hill
The sick and wounded healed
In Your presence, storms “be still”
Hear the heavens’ sound
Your miracles abound
Now we stand on Holy ground
Your name forever will be great
All God’s children celebrate
It’s real big there, haha.
Looking forward to group outing, haha. He told me, “still”.
I’m reaching for Your heart.
Marcus!
“Not pleasing others but winning back His trust”
Phew, it’s holidays and I’m keeping myself busy, instead of resting I’ve got so many more meaningful stuffs to do and to keep myself charged. Most importantly this stage of remolding is such a crucial stage for me to have a transparent life, for His light to shine through and it’s not a break I believe, this is the time for me to work much harder than any other time. It’s not ending here, it’s just another way that He had given me to walk together with Him, not alone anymore.
All of me to exchange for all of You, it’s no longer my ways but Yours be done. It just feels so different when I’m walking righteously with Him, moving freely in the spirit when I’m praying. It’s not my ability to surrender all to Him, it’s tough to do His will, but by His grace and mercy I have much of His motivation.
If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land – 2 Chronicles 7: 14
It took 40 years of tending sheep to transform Moses into a meek man, it took 40 years for him to become humble and patient. That long period of time to understand the will of God in His life and an encounter with God before he can lead the people. God certainly knew he wasn’t ready to carry out His will. Phew, understanding God’s will and learning His way is two different thing.
Breakthrough Cafe!
Through all these things, He trusted me and gave me a way.
Last week..
Ha!
Attachment is coming to an end, phew. Time really flies, 4 months just like that, kind of miss it yea. Lunch at Jacks Place tmr with colleagues, cool! Really got to thank them for teaching and guiding us for the past 4 months, ha. Holidays are coming and I’m really looking forward to it, making use of it to do the things I’ve always wanted to, yup! (:
Lots of things happened but for sure God is faithful and true.
Stay Tune!
I love Your word in my life!
So awesome! ha.
Have been reading the different Hebrew and Greek words online and that really interests me to know more of God, the discipline to read more of His word and surely I’m always excited to know more about Him every single day. It’s impossible to know everything about God but as I begin to know a little bit more about His word each day, my love for Him increases and that allows me to be so close to His word. It feels kind of weird if I’m not flipping a few pages for a day, ha.
God instructed Joshua at his commissioning in Joshua 1 : 7-8 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 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.” The Word of God is just so important for each and every Christian to know and obey, to pay heed to His word. God told Joshua to be bold and very courageous, Joshua got that courage from the word!
It’d been real tough recently, decisions that are so diffucult to make and at time things are really going too fast for me and I’m lagging behind. However His word gave me the guidance, the teachings and the strength that I needed at every point of struggles. How did you know what God wants you to do or become? More than just praying, I really believe that when you read His word, the solution is definitely in the bible and it will thus sheds light on the pathway that you’re walking on.
Psalms 119: 105 – Your word is a lamp unto my feet and light for my path.
Dr Bernard shared before, everytime when Satan was tempting Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus always start to turn back the temptations by saying, “the scriptures say..” The word of God is what Jesus used to resist temptions from Satan! Phew, how can we emerge as the winner over the devil? The word strengthens us and defeats the devil, the only thing that Satan is afraid of is the word of God.
We will sing sing sing!
Yea, had quite a few singing session with the connect group and I can say that they’re awesome! Really enjoyed praising and worshiping God together with them. It’s left with 2 weeks and I really yearn to fellowship with them every single day, haha. Phew, for sure I must treasure my time with them, they’re the best! When we have a humble heart and a willing heart for Him to move and mold then He shall surely give us what we’re lacking in. Behind every revival there’s a sound and I really believe that we’re in search for that sound, yes time may be short for us, but our God is always faithful and true, He never fail to bless us and will never shortchange us, amen! (:
Had been working on my guitar skills, the different weird weird chords that beautify the song. Draw quite alot from Xianbi, yup! Really had a great time praying and worshiping, it’s when two or more gather together in His name, He will be in the midst of us, phew.. Thanks man Xianbi! You’re the man, that always lay down your time to teach and to impart and of course to cook (1 time, LOL).
The example!
Have been praying over the same thing over the pass few days, it’s time for ‘war’, yea, got to avail myself to be there to fight, to carry the burden and share the vision of the cellgroup, in one accord! Who will be there? Conviction and not convenience, it’ll surely be tough but when the decision is made, pay the price! It’s the last fight, so let’s not grow weary! His shield and sword shall bring us victory amen! 
Beautiful.. Haha.
God has been building my life using His ways, and I’m looking forward to the things in His timetable! Surely no by strength, not by might but by the spirit of God that will bring me higher and higher.
What can I give that’s worthy, to You my soul will sing..
because of You..
Phew, lots of things have been happening recently and that really stretched me to the max. Work is busy and I’ve to learn to adjust my agendas and choose among which is the priority. To a point when I really felt like giving up, God reminded me of Pastor Phil’s message, where he illustrated how God stretch us, and when we thought that is our maximum God stretch us even more. God for the few verses that inspired me and kept me going even though I really feel like throwing everything aside and just take the easy way out. Maturity and responsibility, He began to convict my heart, I could hear His stern voice challenging me and asking me,“is this your maximum?” Yes, He knew whether I could take the load He gave, and He didn’t just leave me alone doing that but He is getting ready to hold onto my hand when I fall.
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV)
Jamming was awesome! Phew, really didn’t felt like stopping ‘cos I’m lovin’ every moment. Yea, really got to buck up on individual skills and it’s not just about the skills but about the heart that is humble. Practicing is really the key to improvement and throughout the process it’s sure tough, but it is the failures and practices that causes me to excel, thank God for Youtube, haha.
Festival of Praise and Church Anni were great to the max! It really blew me away, entering the gates of thanksgiving and praising Him is always a time that I will look forward to and be excited about, for my Lord is good! FOP’s word is about worries, phew. Matthew 6:34 (NLT) - “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.“
Yea! (:
It was indeed different when people gather at the Indoor Stadium to praise and worship God. From the start of the praise and worship I was already tremendously blessed and touched by God, that overwhelming atmosphere clothed me in a special manner. Dr Alex Abraham’s word was short but I got filled by revelations throughout the message. “How can you measure my love for you?” Measure? Is this how you sees God’s love? God, how much have you bless me? Is this the question that you often asked? How much, how many. God’s love for us couldn’t measured, in fact He is blessing us every moment. The trials to strengthen and train us, the blessings to encourage and reward us and every move of is just so pleasant. Are we pleasing God? Or are you always complaining? Come on, He sent His most precious one to die for our sins and yet we’re always asking for more when we didn’t even do a single thing in His way. Who are we without Him?
He reminded me not just to be excellent within the four walls but also be a light that shines beyond the walls! Was listening to ‘because of You’ in album Writings on the Walls. That was the song that I was tearing and tearing when I was singing it in church anniversary. He often uses worship to mold and give me a pat on my back, that is my personal relationship with God, which every quiet time I have with Him I never leave without a heart that’s not filled.
CHC – because of You
Because of You
I was born again
Because of You
I’m ransomed by Your grace
Because of You
My heart has found a home
A refuge for my soul
Because of You
Sins are washed away
Because of You
Heaven knows my name
Because of You
I can live again
You’ve broken every chain
Unfailing Love, so unreserved
You gave Yourself on Calvary
And now I stand, forever free
My Saviour rescued me.
Now heaven, be open
Our God is, unshaken
We worship, Christ risen
High above
Now heaven, be open
All kingdoms, all nations
Declare that You are God
Yumyum! Haha.
单单属于祢.
我亲爱救主
向祢献上我的全部
一生跟随我主
我生命祢紧紧握住
我全人全心
单单属于祢
求充满我灵
高声敬拜祢
我王我的主
我神我的天父
在我生命中每一天
向祢不住献上赞美
将我所有的一切
全摆在祢面前
在我生命中每一天
我要紧紧跟随
直到永远
Phew, was repeating this song in “Fly High” album and this song seems to bring a word of season to my life this period. Royston was sharing about the experience of God, knowing God by experience, ‘Ginosko’. I was tearing and tearing as images flashed through my mind of all the experiences that I’ve with God, whether be it my family, my personal life, studies or in church, He is always faithful and true. Yea, I was so stress this week due to growth of group but God somehow reminds me to be patient. Yes, fasting and praying is how you labor for growth, but remember what Pastor Tan preached? God has a timetable for us, and He is just waiting for the time to give us the souls, and waiting for us to be ready. “Do not grow weary while waiting”, this is how God grow us last time isn’t it? (:
Are you available?
Phew, it felt I’ve not blog for a long time. Recently was really practicing on my guitar and I never felt that happy playing before. Yes, it’s the passion that drives me all along and I’ve always wanted to use every chord and melody I played to praise and worship God but now it’s isn’t just passion alone but I’m playing with a happy heart to share my joy and laughter, even my problems I’m facing. I’m addicted to this happiness, yea! (:
Hmm, I found out that praising and worshipping God is not just thanksgiving, singing alone. Persistency is the key to breakthrough, and I’ve been searching for that. It’s no longer just playing that one or two songs that last for maybe fifteen minutes but the heart needs to be right and focus when you’re worshipping Him. Chinese worship really brought me closer and when I’m singing there’s a feeeling of peace in my heart, that peace that makes me happier to pray, and to worship Him. It’s when I’m persistent to receive something, even if it’s something small, the presence of God will be pulled down. At times the chorus or bridge will just seems so special to me, and without fail, He will always speak to me through the verses and new revelations just keeps me going and this keeps me excited for my quiet time (:
I felt my hunger for His grace and mercy isn’t enough, and at times I asked myself do I have pride in my life? Phew, got to do something about it, I’m yearning to be fed by His word but first I’ve to do what I need to do yea? Tuesday night combined leaders meeting talk about leadership, first, do your things well! With excellence, with the right spirit. How can I possibly feed my people if me myself isn’t hungry? I love to fellowship with the group, that’s the time that I can share the revelations that I’ve received from God, to bless them in their walk with God. It’s time to erase the pride in me, Jesus you increase and I decrease!
Have the availability!
There seems to be one or two worship songs that I’ll always sing, countless of times I sing but each time I worship with a fresh mind and the different anoiting that I received. Phew, and each time I feel like I’m not doing as much, I’ll be reminded to go back to the revelations that He granted me, those that inspires me, like what Dr. Bernard preached, it’s the expulsive power of new affection, that cause me to fell in love with God. The whole thing starts and continues (the journey) and finally the destination. The journey is sure tough but He is always with us isn’t it? There are multiple winners, not just one, you don’t have to compete with others to win, but God wants to see how have you mature during the journey. The only competitor that can stop you is yourself. No one is asking you to run and not rest, at times balance is really the key, it’s not about growing His kingdom and yet you neglected your own time with God.
Matthew 11:30 (The Message) : Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lighty.
We can be heavy laden but with God things will seems light for you if you really obey and walk with Him. Yes we can fail and failure is part of our life, but can we forgive ourselves and move on? How can we conquer greater things if we’re stopped by guilt? Royston said in Cellgroup, a wise man learns from his mistakes but a wiser man learns from others’ mistakes as well. At times balance is really the key, no point giving ourselves to much pressure, learn to establish and celebrate your victories! That should push you to accomplish even more! (:
Awesome!
Group let’s charge! Let’s put our agendas aside and place place Him as the priority.
Blessing is not in knowing, it’s doing what you know.
Let’s add more names into the Book of Life!
I am!
Are you ready to receive the blown away word by Dr A.R Bernard tomorrow?
Yes I am! (:
Arise!
Brothers!
Yup, it’s the month of July, and days at attachment seems so fast (although will complain slow at times, haha) But things are getting more intense, this is really when my capacity and my consistency is being tested. I’ve deal with my weaknesses and my strength at the same time. Like what Royston said, the only thing that can be tested by time is consistency. How about a fireworks servant? Being on fire for God at the initial stage and then burned out at the climax. It’s not just about serving, but it’s about your own walk with God and did you really have that personal encounter with God to keep you going?
Have a short chat with Royston yesterday night along the corridor, haha. I found out that it’d seemed so fast since I joined E149 and I reflected upon my walk with God from then till now. Things have changed for sure and the walk it’s like having different parts for different reason.
Human Monopoly!
Sozo Camp, where I really know what serving means and that sets me on fire for God. As a baby Christian at that time I was guided step by step and I literally learn and drew from the leaders around me. Phew, the Human Monopoly on Saturday reminds me of Sozo camp, it may not means alot to others but to me it was. Moving in groups and doing the stations as one. Yea, it’s about unity and helping one another out. Not going to MJ survivor camp at St John Island is an upset for me but thank God for the Human Monopoly, I certainly learned alot and benefited from this ‘test’.
John 16:33 – These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
There wouldn’t be always sunshine in your life, rain will come and no point having the mindset of being defeated, but prepare to rise, He shall then draw your closer to Him and raining down His spirit, mercy and grace on you.
I’m so happy when I’m engaged in His presence, playing melodies for my heavenly Father and from there my guitar skills will excel, most importantly, God will always remind me to stay humble and do not be satisfied with what I have because His plan is to allow me to do greater things for Him, to draw more people closer to Him.
Retroooooo (:
Yes, it’s time to draw more people closer to Him. Group, let’s charge!
Are you in the river of God?
