Friend made a really awakening prayer for me yesterday. She said she'll not pray according to my request but that God's will be done.
That shook me up.
Am I back to my own desires? Or am I seeking for God's will to be done.
Things may not look positive but hold on Marcus.
There is hope in God and a reason for everything.
Look beyond what can be seen and trust in Him.
Be still and know that He is God.
He is STILL in control.
Amen.

Hurts so deep
It's back and it hurts...
I want to take out those rotten potatoes but somehow they keep coming back.
Lord, if there is a solution, it's got to be you.
I pray that I will not take things into my own hands and play your role.
Forgive me God.

Deal with it...with Love
Maybe they were right.
God is teaching me something through this.
But Lord, I can't handle it =(
I saw that look and I felt condemnation in me...
I know I should only look to You but God, I'm struggling here...
The same old question haunts me once again...
It just made me thought things all over again...
Things may just never be the same again...sigh...
Though I walk through the valley of shadow of death,
I will not fear for you are with me.
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
This is taken from Psalms 23.
I will smile it away.
For now, I will smile it away.
Do not know how long I can hold out like this.

What a blessed man to be
This week has been a blessing. Why?
Firstly, I was walking in camp to work this week, early early in the morning before the Sun even rose.
And a car pulled up and the driver offered me a lift to where i was heading!
And guess what? The driver is a LTC pilot!!!! Can you imagine?! Well I can't!
It got to be God!
Secondly today, I was talking to my sup as we were resting in the office. He asked about our OFF days remaining and I casually said I don't have a single one to use in the first place.
He considered a bit, and told me to take off tomorrow! And consider it welfare off!!!
It's got to be God Himself again!
Well, as Cedric said, with God's presence, even the Kings bow down.
Amen to that! =)

Come Holy Spirit
I did not come in to GNK last Sunday and the first thing I heard about it was from Salome saying the Lord moved amongst our kids!!
Compared to Salome, I'm very insensitive, some say even thick skinned (huh!) Didn't ask too much about it and during evaluation, I heard those who went forward cried, were fervent and caught up in the presence of God (I was very surprised that John went forward to be prayed for - he always says that he doesn't like it if people look at him).
The discussion hit my ears, not my heart. Perhaps it was/is the same with many of us, if we're not there or if we're very caught up in something else, we can't 'feel' the passion of those who were present.
That Sunday, Daven and John did not talk about what happened but I know whatever happened went deep because the whole Sunday, (Daven was with us until about 6.45pm) the boys were humming and singing "Hosanna". They were very thoughtful and seemed to be walking on air that whole day (trust me, can tell - Hosanna wasn't sung in quiet little voices but so that the whole neighbourhood knew the Holy Spirit's flavour rested on 2 loud, little boys)
Miriam, Mary, Marcus(John says you taught him to speak in tongues and he keeps mumbling "Hallelujah" under his breathe ALL the time now), GNK Team on duty,
YOU HAVE BEEN USED BY GOD!! YES!!!
He touched where we could not see, children whom we didn't think ready for the Holy Spirit's touch. Jus Loving it!
The above was quoted from a GNK teacher about last Sunday's prayer for Holy Spirit for the children. Indeed, Lord we are blessed by You and to have seen You moved.
God, I am hungry for more of You and I pray that this church will be as well. May we be the church that You want us to be.
In Jesus Name
Amen

Accounting my life
Today had accountability Group. Enjoyed it a lot. Had a late lunch wif Nic, Alvin and Joel at Kallang.
Then we thought it was too ex to bowl at Kallang, so we headed down to Safra Yishun where we continued our sharing together even before we got our lane. It was really encouraging for me because I want to be accountable to my brothers in Christ.
Bowling to the top wasn't the objective. LKK was pretty surprising even though he started off bad! hahaa...INSIDE JOKE!!
Anyway, God, thank You for this wonderful weekend.
So blessed, I can't contain it!
I'm bursting to share Your blessings!

Work in Progress
Lord, we are all being moulded always by you.
I thank You for having been so faithful.
And yesterday prayer meeting, Lord it's got to be You.
I pray more to come. More to seek Your face.
God, let us throw off all the excess baggages and run to You.
Jesus our Saviour!
Let's be dripping wet for the Lord!
Amen =)

Faith that pleases God
You came,
You spoke,
You showed.
I am convinced God. I will not be the same again. Now here I stand, bow down to Your will, lead me as You please, to the place where I belong in You.
I want to stand, to stand up for my faith in You.
I want to run, to run into your arms.
I want to shout, to shout it out so the world knows,
that You Jesus, You are my Lord.
Love You Lord, indescribable love of Yours. The kind of way that You speak to me. After today's sharing at dinner, I am free. I know I have hope in You God. I know that no matter what happens, it always happens according to Your plans for Your children.
Cause me to change. To be the child that pleases You. Who brings a smile to Your face.
Cause me to love. To accept people for who they are. To realize that I am the one You want to mould.
Cause me to understand. To appreciate those around me, to love them like that is no tomorrow. The kind of love that You gave.
God, life is really wonderful, beautiful. Change me to be that beautiful one presented to the unsaved, to make You known through my life.
In the dark times, cause me to see that shining flame that never goes out even in complete darkness. To be still and know that You are God.
In Jesus' most precious name,
Amen.

Spend all with God...my time
God, I want to spend all my life with You.
Nope, no one is worth my time more than You.
Teach me to be like You,
Show me how to be like You,
Guide me to be like You,
Break me, mould me, use me, lead me, guide me.
Lord, wherever I may be going,
lead me to where You want me to be.
Amen.

Resolution for 2009?
My only prayer for 2009,
that our lives will not be about ourselves or with this and that;
but that our lives will be about the will of Heavenly Father.
On another note,
Whatever is to happen,
O Lord I ask You to lead me by the hand,
to the place where You want me to be.
In Jesus Name, I invite You to restore my faith once again,
the pursue of Your heart with all my might,
the need for Your love and grace all over again,
I want to fall in love with You again Jesus.
Amen.

Frustrations
Oh Boy, Christmas is over...
New year's approaching...
The vicious work year is repeating itself...
Just realised I have not prayed about a new year's Verse...
My previous verse I guess spoke strongly for itself...
To wait patiently and quietly...
Anyway, to MR S. A. Tan, I got bad news for you!
The next time you try to confuse/upset/frustrate me about that "issue",
I'm just gonna smile it off =)
Cause God is good, all the time!
So you can stay out of my sight!
God bless guys!

Things have been refreshingly surprising these few days.
I'm caught off guard again.
Christmas in 3 days time.
I ain't a single bit hyped about it.
Le Grande in 2 days time.
When all this is over, I'm going into hibernation..
The Word of God cannot change lives.
Applying the Word of God changes lives.
If only I could turn back time, I would never have to face this cold wall..
God, be my hope and strength to carry me through each new day.
Jesus is my refuge and shelter.
Holy Spirit be my guide and counselor.
Amen.

Jesus my Savior
It's 3am in the morning right now.
I can't fall asleep :(
Le Grande in 3 days time...
Things are so unsettled, including myself...
I was so near to you;
We were just next to each other;
I never dared to inch nearer;
But I am sure it's not forever;
Someday we might be together;
If it is in His favor;
Let my plans follow my Savior.
Jesus, I now see reason for all that happened all this time.
You opened my eyes to the things I cannot see on my own.
Jesus, Your Love lasts forever =)
Peace out people!
P.S. - YA celebration was awesome! Pictures Pictures!!

Pressing on
Feeling up and feeling down this week...
But I know every time I can turn back to God and find joy in Him. Why?
Because He is my joy and I know my life is full in Him, Jesus Christ.
Been sneaking around blogs these days, trying to find out how my friends are.
Some are good, some not so good at this point.
But you know? Jesus is always here with you and me =)
For all my friends out there, I may be silent around you. But I want you to know,
I am praying for you my friend. Because the love of Christ is just so great!
"UNCONDITIONAL"
That is what I've learnt.
Have a blessed day people..oh..in Christ!
