I MUST TELL JESUS!

2009-01-20T23:25:00.000+08:00

I must tell Jesus all of my trials,
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress He kindly will help me,
He ever loves and cares for His own.

Refrain:
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

I must tell Jesus all of my troubles,
He is a kind, compassionate Friend;
If I but ask Him He will deliver,
Make of my troubles quickly an end.

Tempted and tried I need a great Savior,
One who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus:
He all my cares and sorrows will share.

What must I do when worldliness calls me?
What must I do when tempted to sin?
I must tell Jesus, and He will help me
Over the world the vict’ry to win.

Something to share..

Avelon- Everything To Me

I grew up in sunday school
I memorized the Golden rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But i'll never be the same
Because he changed my life when He became...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that i'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that he is...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet you saying you've been...

You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything to me

Good old memories

2008-09-21T22:15:00.003+08:00

Was just browsing through my Youtube account and found this video that I made a long time ago. Brought back so much memories and I still find cherish those times and relationship we built up over the years.

Will continue to pray for every single one of you, that God will keep watch over you and continue to guard your heart and your ways.

" Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mothl keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." Proverbs 4:24-27

Is there no God in this world?

2008-04-19T23:46:00.000+08:00

'Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.' The atheist
professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his
new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.'

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes.'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a
moment.

'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you
can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if
you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He
doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even
though he prayed to Jesus to heal him How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can
you answer that one?'

The student remains silent.

'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of
water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

'Let's start again, young fella Is God good?'

'Er...yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student : 'From...God...'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there
evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything,
correct?'

'Yes.'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created
everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to
the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues:
'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible
things, do they exist in this world?'

The student: 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his
question. 'Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the
lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is
mesmerized.

'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in
Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice is confident: 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you
use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen
Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not.'

'Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or
smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus
Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes.'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable
protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that,
son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem
science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a
question of his own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'

'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.'

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested.
The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat,
mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we
don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below
zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is
no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the
lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when
it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have
or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.
You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of
heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units
because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the
absence of it.'

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom,
sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as
darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night
if it isn't darkness?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the
absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have
Nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to
define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able
to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him.
This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is
flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time.
'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student
explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good
God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something
finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a
thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much
less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life
is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive
thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.'

'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they
evolved from a monkey?'

'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young
man, yes, of course I do'

'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he
realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work
and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you
not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a
preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the
Commotion has subsided.

'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other
student, let me give you an example of what I mean.'

The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class
who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into
laughter.

'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain,
felt the professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No
one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of
empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no
brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain,
how can we trust your lectures, sir?'

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the
student, his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I
guess you'll have to take them on faith.'

'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists
with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as
evil?'

Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We
see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man.
It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world.
These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at
least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God.
It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe
the absence of God.

God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when
man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold
that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there
is no light.'

The professor sat down.

40-day fast and prayer!!!

2008-02-24T21:43:00.002+08:00

Just felt that we need to be reminded of the 40 day prayer and fasting to align our hearts with the church to truly seek God in this season.

Remember to fast from:
1. TV
2. Computer games
3. One meal per day

And spend 1 hour praying:
10 min - Praise and worship + thanksgivings
10 min - Pray for yourself e.g. health, studies etc
10 min - Pray for your family (Biological and spiritual)
10 min - Pray for your marketplace i.e. School
10 min - Pray for Singapore (Use newspaper to get latest happenings)
10 min - Pray for the nations (Perhaps the country on your heart)

Let us make every effort to enter that Sabbath day. Truly as we draw close to Him, He will draw close to us.

Bless you guys with a fruitful and spirit-filled time this season. (",)

The DASH

2008-02-05T22:21:00.000+08:00

THE DASH
by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoken of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the case,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's tru and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.

So when you eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

The poem that Pastor Eugene shared during service which is also quite thought-provoking if you think about what others would say about you at your tomb. How do you think you will be remembered for? Did we make a significant mark in the lives of people and of ours? Something to ponder and reflect upon. :)

故事发生在许多年前．．可是，这个天真的邂逅永远都会在主角的心里占一席之地．

依琳和茹芸是姐妹．她们就读在邻里的一间小学．姐妹俩年龄只相差３岁，当时８岁的依琳，１１岁的茹芸，感情很深。

她们两都顽皮捣蛋，有一次小妹依琳曾经因为大姐茹芸对妈妈撒的一个谎而被刮了一巴掌，可是这只是小时候的闹剧，细节尽可不提。然而，茹芸莽撞和好玩的性格显而易见。事隔多年，茹芸对此事毫无印象。或许只有依琳还记得，但也会随着时间的洗刷而掩饰好心灵的小缺口。姐妹也不会有隔夜仇吧。所以，她们还是玩在一块。

。。

也不知何时，在她们组屋楼下出现了一个和蔼可亲的老伯。老伯每天都会在楼下细心地折一只纸鹤。这仿佛是他的工作。折完了后，他就会轻轻的把纸鹤放在楼下排水管与墙壁的缝隙。

依琳和茹芸开始注意到了纸鹤的存在。放置纸鹤的高度对一个大人并不算什么，却对小孩来说是有点难度。但是，只要掂着脚尖，拼命的伸出手指，纸鹤还是能到手。对两个小孩来说，一个纸鹤成为了在她们生命里的小快乐。

有时候，她们并没有等到纸鹤。也许其他家的小孩也看上了纸鹤吧。没等到纸鹤的心情难免是失望。小孩们总能为了简单的事情感到无比的快乐。相对的，也是无比的失望。

依琳和茹芸也渐渐对老伯伯产生了兴趣。好几次，姐妹俩巧遇老伯在折纸鹤。她们就跟平常吵闹的性格来个180度的转变。两双眼睛目不转睛的盯着老伯折纸鹤的每一个步奏，静静和耐着性子等待老伯手上的杰作。老伯折完纸鹤后，也不会把纸鹤交给她们。他会如往常，把纸鹤放在相同的地方。姐妹俩也很配合他，掂着脚尖把纸鹤取下来。

或许，老伯并不想让她们这么容易拿到纸鹤吧。毕竟，以自己努力得来的东西，比起一抬手就能得到的东西感觉更快乐。。真正的快乐是要靠自己去争取的。

=) 不是吗？

。。

有一天，老伯就突然消失了。。到底他去了哪里，为何要折纸鹤，这永远都会是一个谜。或许，在某个组屋楼下，仍然有一个老伯在卖力的折纸鹤。。

能确定的是，他带给很多小孩子快乐。

Certain things we don't need to be explained. What matters is the heart behind doing so. It could simply be to just bless someone. You never know what your small act can accomplish until you've really done it.

The Faithfulness Of God

2007-09-19T17:43:00.000+08:00

READ: Mark 11:20-26

20In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"
22"Have[a] faith in God," Jesus answered. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."[b]

Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.” —Mark 11:22
Some of Jesus’ words to His disciples about having faith in God leave me wondering if I can ever exercise that level of trust and confidence in prayer. I can’t recall telling a mountain to relocate itself into the ocean and watching it happen.

Hudson Taylor, pioneer missionary to China, said that Jesus’ words in Mark 11:22, “Have faith in God,” could be translated, “Hold on to the faithfulness of God.”

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, former pastor of London’s Westminster Chapel, appreciated Taylor’s insight and said: “Faith is holding on to the faithfulness of God and, as long as you do that, you cannot go wrong. Faith does not look at the difficulties. . . . Faith does not look at itself or at the person who is exercising it. Faith looks at God . . . . Faith is interested in God only, and it talks about God and it praises God and it extols the virtues of God. The measure of the strength of a man’s faith, always, is ultimately the measure of his knowledge of God. . . . He knows God so well that he can rest on the knowledge. And it is the prayers of such a man that are answered.”

“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.Your faithfulness endures to all generations” (Ps. 119:89-90). —David C. McCasland

Trust in Him,

ye saints, forever—

He is faithful, changing never;

Neither force nor guile can sever

Those He loves from Him.

Heaven's Grocery Store

2007-09-09T23:21:00.000+08:00

Heaven's Grocery Store

As I was walking down life's
highway many years ago
I came upon a sign that read
Heavens Grocery Store.

When I got a little closer
the doors swung open wide
And when I came to myself
I was standing inside.

I saw a host of angels.
They were standing everywhere
One handed me a basket and said
"My child shop with care."

Everything a human needed
was in that grocery store
And what you could not carry
you could come back for more.

First I got some Patience.
Love was in that same row.
Further down was Understanding,
you need that everywhere you go.

I got a box or two of Wisdom
and Faith a bag or two.
And Charity of course
I would need some of that too.

I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost
He was all over the place.
And then some Strength and Courage
to help me run this race.

My basket was getting full but
I remembered I needed Grace,
And then I chose Salvation for
Salvation was for free
I tried to get enough of that
to do for you and me.

Then I started to the counter
to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything
to do the Masters will.

As I went up the aisle I saw
Prayer and put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside
I would run into sin.

Peace and Joy were plentiful,
the last things on the shelf.
Song and Praise were hanging near
so I just helped myself.

Then I said to the angel
"How much do I owe?"
He smiled and said
"Just take them everywhere you go."

Again I asked "Really now,
how much do I owe?"
"My child " he said,
"God paid your bill a long,
long time ago."

How much God loves us

2007-08-25T15:24:00.000+08:00

Hey...been awhile since blog was blogged...blogging here just to let you brothers know how precious we are in the eyes of God...

Lately I've kind of backslide and the next thing i know, I'm under some spiritual attacks. Not wanting to go into details, but end of the day God always sent angels by my side to remind me of Him who will never leave me. And the Holy Spirit is also always there to prompt me that there are things that's a miss...

I mean, even a small character like me is loved by God, all of us will also be loved by God for our God will never forsake us. Everytime we think that God don't love us, it's only a lie the devil put in our thoughts. We must refuse to believe the lies of the devil and believe the truth of God's Word.

Christianity

2007-07-01T22:52:00.000+08:00

When I say I am a Christian,
I'm not shouting "I am Saved!".. I'm whispering "I got lost" That is why I chose this way..

When I say I am a Christian,
I dont speak of this with pride..
I'm confessing that I stumble and
need someone to be my guide.

When I say I am a Christian,
I'm not trying to be strong..
I'm professing that I'm weak and
Pray for strength to carry on.

When I say I am a Christian,
I'm not bragging of success..
I'm admitting I have failed and
cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say I am a Christian,
I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I seek HIS name!

Fear Vs Faith

2007-04-23T10:35:00.000+08:00

FEAR

Do you find yourself having that?!? Especially if you're a student and undergoing examinations or even just merely preparing for it... This creepy, jittery feeling comes creeping up on you and making you feel insecure about how you will fail this paper, how you will be having mind blocks and that no matter how much you try to study it just doesn't get in...
Perhaps you really are and it's not unusal. Everyone has insecurity because we are not prefect beings and we see things with a warped vision most of the times. That is why we have fear. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real (quoted from my spiritual grandmama Pastor Julie) Therefore, we need to know what is the measure of truth and be able to anchor ourselves in it.

FAITH

So for those having exams now or just preparing for it, I hope to bless you all with a special word called faith. That even when you're studying you are Firmly Anchored In True Hope

For where there is hope, there is always life.

How Great Is Our God

2007-04-17T12:10:00.000+08:00

Take time to think;
it is the source of power.

Take time to read;
it is the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to play;
it is the secret of staying young.

Take time to be quiet;
it is the opportunity to seek God.

Take time to be aware;
it is the opportunity to help others.

Take time to love and be loved;
it is God's greatest gift.

Take time to laugh;
it is the music of the soul.

Take time to be friendly;
it is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream;
it is what the future is made of.

Take time to pray;
it is the greatest power on earth.

so brothers in christ, let's take time to speak to our almighty god..

Dear sons,

I just wanna affirm those who really rose up and served alongside this Good Friday party. I am indeed grateful to see my own spiritual children serving, taking on versatile roles to do what you needed to do. Think we really owned the event togther.

I just sense a wonderful presence of the Lord even as He joined us in our games, in our worship and even through the altar call to bring forth a loving touch. Even among our cell, we're seeing Kah hao (your new bro) and Huiping (re-dedication) coming to know the Lord. It really warms my heart and even to see the love of the family being displayed so much more in this event. Do continue praying for them and even those pre-believing friends of yours.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

If you have feedback for the party in terms of
- What we have done well
- What we could do even better

please share them. These will help us all to learn and do increasingly better for Jesus!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

At the same time, i was also reminded that in the midst of 'doing' for God, we must always focus on the 'being' His child. Resting in our positions in Christ and being in His presence at
all times is the most important, and must be above our service to God!

This Friday during cell, I will share more about this position in Christ.

Bless you to dwell in Him in deep joy and assurance all the days of your life!

Love you all!!!!

IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.

IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION

IN PHYSICS, HE DISAPPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN

IN ECONOMICS, HE DISAPPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD;

IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS

IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END;

IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE;

IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM

SO WHO IS HE?

HE IS JESUS

IN the LORD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING!
The Greatest Man in History

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master...?!?

Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher...?!?

Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer...?!?

He had no army, yet kings feared Him.

He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world...?!?

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him...?!?

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today...?!?

I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!
God's Blessing Over Flowing!

Have A Blessed Day Today!

Who am I and who is He

2007-02-04T23:34:00.000+08:00

Dear sons,

I pray that we have had a fruitful week, particularly those who managed to make it down for the sancfitication week, whether it was for the session or for the audio word time. Personally, I was greatly enriched with the word of God throughout the 3 days that I was there. I just thought to share 3 key things that I caught throughout these few days. God could have spoken to you differently but I pray that the words of God spoke to us and the meditations of our hearts may be used to glorify Him in return.

*One Salvation, many heart conversions*

This was the sentence that caught my heart and jerked me tremendously on the first day even as I hear Ps Julie share about being sanctified on a progressive track. Perhaps we would think that our christian walk is good because we've been believers for long and if there's any issues, it should have long been dealt with. But God reveals that all men are weak and our life is always an aim to strive towards His holy standards. For some it might prove to be a struggle, for others you don't even know whether you're there yet (although I suspect we all aren't). Therefore, I want to urge all of us, to acknowledge all our weakness, even the ability to be weak is something that we need to recognize.

Even for ah pa, having been in the ministry for a while already, I cannot say that I am strong and can overcome everything. There are still a lot of things that I battle against, spiritual warfare, emotional entanglements, physical ailments. THere are so many things that can come against us and what's more for all of us who are in the world. So never ever think that your heart transformation is complete already because we all have a long way to go...

"My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness."

2 Corinthians 12:9

My prayer for you all in this year is to always recognise your weaknesses so that God's power is made perfect. In fact for most of you, I more or less know what are some of them. But are there anymore that I do not know of or even those that God does not know about? Can you share them with me? As we begin this year of going deep in the word, let's respond by allowing our hearts to be cut open first.

To be continued...........

Sanctification Week

2007-01-29T10:43:00.000+08:00

As we look to this new week, it's a season in our lives that we prepare ourselves in anticipation for the sanctification weekend. I thank God for the past week of busy-ness even as I humble myself and learn to lean not on my own understanding but to move with eyes of faith in what He can achieve even in the slightest note.

After Ps Doug Lambert's sermon yesterday, I realised all the more we need to be sanctified so that we might hear the voice of God and be use and lead in His anointing. Sanctification basically means to be made holy and set apart of God's purposes. (Click to read more)

"Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessings from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob." Psalm 24:3-6

Even as we prepare for this week's sanctification, let's prepare ourselves in 3 areas.

(1) Clean hands : Guiltless actions that allows us to approach God without shame nor fear.

(2) Pure heart: Come in the right attitudes and motives. Do not desire to move contrary to what
God wants of you.

(3) Trust God: Learn to see the righteous treatment from a faithful God and recognize it's the
greatest plan for yourselves.

The schedule for week of sanctification:

Wed night (7.30pm)
Thu night (7.30pm)
Fri night (7.30pm)
Sat morning (9am)

The venue will be at TOUCH Centre (TC).

Dear sons, let's come in great anticipation and really desire to make it for every single session as much as we can. For when we do seek Him, His face will shine upon us.

Lift up your heards, O you gates, be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you anicent doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? THe Lord Almighty - he is the King of glory. Psalm 24:7-10

Redemption during encounter.

2007-01-21T21:27:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Guess you all have known by now i'm attending encounter weekend and well, it's over. I'm here dropping by to share my testimony of what God have done with me this 3 days.

Day 1, Friday, 19/01/07

Rushed down from school. I was one of the few to reach there first. And i don't know anyone there and i called Ahpa. He told me to use the time to pray to prepare my heart for encounter and i do that. After praying at a corner, i noticed more people i know turning up. And we chat for awhile. Later i put my belongings into my sleeping room with the people from my group. And we start the first sermon. Then next. Basically, it's just like a warm up session to prepare our heart for the Lord for the upcoming two days.

Day 2, Saturday, 20/01/07

In the morning, had our breakfast then start the first session on the Father's love. When Pastor ask us to find two words to describe our earthly father, i suddenly notice i have no feelings or words to describe my father. I also can't really feel God's love. And slowly, God open up my heart and the Holy Spirit surfaced a hidden bitterness that i had for my father that developed when i was very very young. He's a alcholic and whenever he's drunk, he'll get violent at home and beat my mother, throw things aroung the house and shout. And because of that, i feel very hurt by that. I keep on thinking, why does he have to be so violent? Why must he hit mother? Why can't he go sleep and leave us in peace? And the emotion was in me till i grow up. He's less violent when i was in secondary school so the feeling just start to get hidden inside me, never give me a chance to say i forgive him. And God spoke to me, telling me to forgive my earthly father, and i did. And i start to cry. Yes, i really cried. Not 1 tear or 2 but i really cry with tears and mucus flowing out. I'm not ashamed to say it out because, it's God that relieving me of the pain i've kept inside me for so long and He let me have a chance to let it all out. That, i've to thanks Pastor Adrain, aka Ah Gong (spiritual grandfather), for being there for me. To hug me as i cried, to be there for me. After this session, God fill me with His love and start to work His works within me for the next few session.

Next session is I've sinned against God. God tell me of the sin i've keep on strugglin, ask me to find my guide aka Uncle GuangHam to pray for me. The next thing i know, the evil spirit surfaced and some how cast it out. That's what all of us thought... ... ...

The fifth session is Plan of redemption. That's after dinner during the evening. Redemption covers 3 areas and that is: 1) spiritual freedom, 2nd) physical freedom and lastly, in financial freedom. And God told me, "Tonight, i want to fully free you." I'm thinking, wasn't i'm freed earlier in the afternoon? But still, i listened to God and wait upon Pastor Adrain to pray for me. When Pastor pray, nothing seem to work at first. So he press on. The next thing i know, i fall under the power of the spirit and that's when God is really there for me to transform me. The next following thing that i'm going to share is real and solely to testify God's great work within me. People can go check and verify with the people there. Especially Anthony Yeong aka ahpa (spiritual father) and Uncle GuangHam. It's also a brief entry as i can't recall much as i'm conscious only half the time.

Things that's not of God surfaced. They are the spirit of lust and spirit of violence. Some how, Pastor Adrain can't cast it out. I don't know why but Uncle GuangHam took over. All i remember it took super long time and they still remain. So Uncle GuangHam ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to me what is the thing that have happen that i've not confess to God yet. Suddenly, i heard a familiar phrase that i use to say when i was a child. "Son of Satan." And this lead me to share with you all my past that not much people know. Even they know, some choose not to believe it.

When i was in primary school, i'm always picked on as a target to be bullied. And it happened everyday. And everyday when i got home, my mother only concern about my homework. Even she asked rarely, i also don't dare to say it out. I keep on surpress my feelings within myself till i feel so despair, so helpless and i heard a voice. A voice asking me "Do you need help? Turn to the devil and he'll help you." So day by day, at the age of primary 3, i talk to the devil instead to God. Basically, i know the devil first before i know God. When i know the devil, i always depend on him for strenght and even had a pact with him to be his son. All i want is his strenght and power. And by the age of primary 4, i know lust. And i know words hold power. Other people of the same age are still holding on to innocence when i'm already being filled with so much negative thing. And when i was secondary one, i'm exposed to the world of gansterism. It's also when i'm in secondary school, i know that the devil is not the right way so i pull back and stop talking to the devil. And slowly, the incident with the devil is hidden deep down inside me and forgotten. But i smoked, scold vulgarities and i even joined gang for a short while. Basically, i'm a very bad person. Even i use to try and change, somethings remain.

That's why on saturday night, when i recall i once make a pact with the devil, the Holy Spirit start to move in me and the "war" offically start. And finally everything of not God is out and i'm free. Free in Christ!

Day 3, Sunday, 21/01/07

Morning first session is lead by Uncle GuangHam on faith heal our wounded soul. And during ministry time, God told me yesterday night i've some bitterness within me and i need to sort it out. So during the ministry that day, i sort things out, forgive and let go.

Second session is lead by Ahpa (Anthony Yeong)! It's about water baptism and it's importance. And the last session is on God's vision. And He talked to me and tell me some stuff.

So within this encounter, God have showed me His love, freed me and show me a vision so indeed as we draw near to God, God will also draw near to us... ... ...

A New Year's Day Poem

by Charles Moir

O Thou whose glory fills the heavens,

Whose bounty clothes the earth,

To Thee a poem of thanks we raise

For blessings from our birth.

For that untiring love Thou dost,

From day to day renew,

O may it on our hearts descend

Like heaven-distilled dew.

For mercy great, unending still,

Which gave up to the graveThine only Son,

the Sinless One,

Our sinful souls to save.

While entering on another year

Our cares on Thee we cast,

Beseeching aid in days to come

Which cheered us through the past.

That still the freedom may be ours

To kneel down in Thy sight,

And worship Thee at shut of day,

And in the morning light.

That from temptation's fatal paths

Thou turn our steps away;

And keep us from unholy thoughts

That lead the mind astray.

No more may lust of worldly wealth

Command thoughts that are thine;

Nor may we envy other's lot,

Or at our own repine.

Than all the riches earth can boast

Or gems beneath the sea,

We know the pious, humble heart,

More precious is to Thee.

How needful, then, to train our thoughts,

And fan the heavenly flame

Of faith, in the believing heart,

Triumphing o'er sin and shame

And holding by the Word, thou hast

For grace and guidance given,

Pass trough this world in holy fear,

True candidates for heaven.

Impossible is nothing

In the beginning, the plan was for the cell to run this marathon together and to achieve something significant together as a body of Christ. However, sadly, due to overwhelming responses from the public and procastinating notions from many of us, I didn't managed to sign you all up for it.

Nonetheless, I still went for the run myself, although of course I took back the same 10km distance as last year. I didn't go for the 21km because I felt I didn't train enough and was not ready to jeopardize my body. And true enough, I actually didn't managed to last as well as I did last year when I trained. This year, I only managed to make it to the 5km mark before my legs started to give way and I feel the joints hurting and the muscles tensing under the pressure of the run.

However, I continue to walk of course. Even if I can't run, as least I can walk back to the finishing line and still complete the race. So there I was, along with Steven and a few of Guanghan's boys too, walking, talking and sometimes jogging together from the 6km mark to the 9km mark. Nearing the end of the race, I finally mustered up enough strength and endurance to finish the race strong. And so ran all the way back to the finishing line and crossed it in truimphant style!!!

Praise the Lord for a good race and I'm believing God more and more that impossible is nothing. Even when we feel that we may fail, or have not done enough to do well, we should never give up and think that it's impossible. it's not our own strength that determines how well we do but how much we trust God that makes it happen.

"... everything is possible for him who believes"

Mark 9:23

Reminder from the sermon yesterday, that the power of the Holy SPirit doesn't come because there is unbelief in your system. If only you will choose to beli

eve that God will deliver you from your studies, your family problems, your relationships, financial woes and whatever else that may be plaguing you, you will never be able to have true freedom and trust in Christ.

Are you still burdened??? Always worrying about this and that??? not being able to surrender to God and trust His plans??? Not submitting to His plans and purposes???

Time to re-evaluate our lives and committ them to God once again.

We have the freedom!!!

In the eye of a Storm

2006-11-18T14:50:00.000+08:00

I was looking through this book from one of the best christian authors around and he related a journey that all of us would be familiar with. When we are faced with storms in our lives, how are we dealing with it?
This was a small part of what it had to say:
"For some of you, the journey has been long. Very long and stormy. In no way do I wish to minimize the difficulties you have to face along the way. Some of you have shouldered burdens which few of us could have ever carry. You have bid farewell to life long partners. You have been robbed of life long dreams. You have been given bodies that can't sustain your spirit. You have spouses who can't tolerate your faith. You have bills that outnumbered your paychecks and challenges that outweigh the strength. "

And this is what really encourages me as it goes on to say:
"It is worth it."
"Yesterday's challenges were lost in today's joy."
"Even Paul never said that the journey would be easy but the arrival to the end of it would be worthwhile."
So remember this:
"God may not do what you want, but He will do what is right...... and best. He is the Father of forward motion. Trust Him and He will get you home. And the trials of the trips will be lost in the joys of the feast. "

Too drunk to walk

A man, whose level of drunkenness was bordering on the absurd, stood up to leave a bar and fell flat on his face.

"Maybe all I need is some fresh air," thought the man as he crawled outside.

He tried to stand up again, but fell face first into the mud.

"Screw it," he thought. "I'll just crawl home."

The next morning, his wife found him on the doorstep asleep.

"You went out drinking last night, didn't you?" she said.

"Uh, yes," he said sheepishly.

"How did you know?"

"You left your wheelchair at the bar again."

smell you guys later!

Victors in Christ :D

2006-11-06T19:29:00.000+08:00
"for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."

1 John 5:4-5

I decided to start a AVJ tribe blog and named it "Victors In CHrist" because everyone of us have come to be a part of Christ having received of the victory we have over death and sin. WIth our trust and belief in our Lord Jesus Christ, we received the anointing and the power to overcome all the circumstances in our lives, that we may conquer and truly say that we are God's risen ones. So let's continue to be victorious in Christ Jesus, just as my baptism name signifies, we are all victors of Christ because we are all Jedidiahs, loved ones of God. (",)
