Do you love Jesus so much and truly follow Him that you will obey Him even if He sents you to Hell?
Paul Washer - The True Gospel
Do take some time to hear this message.
Meeting human needs VS knowing our sins
Wanting to go to Heaven VS Condemned by Sin
Reflective points in this sermon.
When it comes your time to die,
be not like those whose hearts are filled
with the fear of death,
so that when their time comes they weep
and pray for a little more time
to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

A New Beginning
This week was my first week in a new unit.
Pretty alright, still trying to adjust to the new culture as below,
-Please walk if you think you can't run anymore
-Doing 20 pushups for punishments
-E-learning at Comp labs become net surfing sessions
-Tea breaks and afternoon breaks became a must
-1 hour 20 mins of lunch time
-No water parade
-EXCUSED RUNNING TILL SEPTEMBER
I still can accept some of the changes but it's really different now.
In the past:
-You try walking?and see what happens(usually has timing and further distance)
-Doing 50 DIAMOND pushups for punishments(usually will be mutiplier of 50s)
-Don't even get to see a computer lab
-Toilet breaks, no teabreaks, are a must(usually given only 5 mins)
-Lunch time can be sometimes only 10mins
-Water parade, drink like fish in the water; want to vomit already
-Excused running? Then walk, cannot do anything...
It's really a different culture being in a combat unit and one of Singapore's toughest unit. Yet, moving on to a combat service support unit and one of Singapore's slackest unit (Almost all the trainees have medical conditions).
Another thing this week, I've hurt a bro in the process of remarking. I won't be ashamed to post this and some of you might have guessed it.
Dude, I'm really sorry and glad you are able to understand where I'm coming from.
The power of the tongue that can give life or death. How true, isn't it?
Anyway, weekends are finally here. Crazy, crazy. Here's a glimpse for you:
FRIDAY
-Young adult cell from 8pm to 10pm.Reached home at 1230am.
SATURDAY
0900h - Guitar lesson
1200h - Worship Practice
1700h - Visit Heart of God
2000h - Prayer meeting
2200h - Overnight Worship Jam
SUNDAY
0930h - Youth Ministry meeting
1000h - Youth cell
1200h - Youth Empower Service
As you can see, that is my weekend this week. My point in listing all this, how many of these activities are actually what God wants me to commit? Sometimes, I find myself agreeing to everything that comes my way. It shifts from focused to ineffective ministry.
Also, there is no will of God. God has a purpose and plan for everyone. I'm not even sure if all of the above are part of it for me.
So for you and me, I hope we will bear in mind, it is not how much we do that will justify our faith. It is our heart in serving that will reflect how grateful we are for Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Salvation. The true believer will renew himself daily in the grace of Lord Jesus Christ, confessing and cleansing himself of all sins in the blood of Jesus Christ and repent, knowing that God, the God of love will forgive our transgressions for Jesus has covereed our sins with His Blood.

Examine our Faith
Hello, I am back.
Many happenings these weeks.
-Posting out of NDU to another camp
-Transferring of Fri Cell
-Trying to reach out to my friend
-A Discussion at Old Airport Road Market
-A Close friend's 21st Birthday party that involves mainly boozing and singing, thank God I didn't join in
-A mother who thinks she's mistreated worse than a maid
-Youths seeming to enjoy Praising and Worshipping, just that it happens only after service
-Love invading the air around me, people falling in love (Oh yes, and perhaps, falling away from God as well)
-Perceptions of my bros and sis in Christ that have changed over time in this world, certain things have become a norm and okay to them
-Giving up something so precious to God because I must let it go
Being in this world for our lives as seem to dissolve the absolute Christian values taught by the Bible. For example, no offences,
"It is okay to let the guys oogle and look at hotties/pretty girls once in a while"
What does God say?
Proverbs 31:30 (Amplified) - Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!
Matthew 5:28 (Amplified) - But I say to you that everyone who so much as looks at a woman with evil desire for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
It is such a small thing such as looking at a woman but do you know? God is watching. How you react and think when you look. The Lord knows it all. Are you going to say "it's okay lah, look only what! That's what God created woman for?"
Are you thinking this way? if you are, please remember. The highway to sin and death begins when you entertain the lies of the Devil, the Prince of lies. He will tell you it's okay to ogle, it's okay to think and fantasize.
But remember the man after God's heart, King David, who fell to sin when he saw Bathsheba bathing. Sin can enter into the very lives of our own. Are we constantly on the lookout for signs of lies that the Devil puts into our minds?
Something for you to ponder through this week, and I pray that God will speak/reveal to you. God bless and God reign as you go through your individual lives this week!

Unveiling the Glory of God
Just came home from Church camp 08. Though it's not as rockingly fun as 06. However, it was one I drew deep deep lessons and encouragements from God to carry me on His work in my life.
That I say I only want to glorify His name in my life.
Will be back with more updates.
God bless ya!

Unforgiving
Why must things turn out like this again...
She just closed me in, I'm left with no choice.
It's suffer or leave.
Do I really have to leave?
God, You're my Maker, why won't you say something?
God, You're the Lord of my life, why won't you speak to me?
My soul is downcast, I beat my chest because I can't get out of this entanglement.
I can't focus on You because of her, not that I don't love her anymore.

Stay or go
O Lord, GOd, I feel really far from you.
I feel an oppression in me everytime I want to pray for the church.
I feel a sense of hate everytime I want to love.
God, I love WRPF. I love SGCell.
But why is she doing this to me?
Why are things like this?
Do you hope to see me go away?
God, won't you tell me something?
Or should I just wait?

MTV
Thought about this while jogging just now, we've all watched MTV least once in our lifetimes and there's so much interest in one's life, especially our favourite artists...
Food for Thought
God's interested in your life. How would your life be on MTV?

Your problem is not your problem
I managed to spend at least 5 hours with God today, thank God for the change...hope it'll be 8hours a day.
Several points to note today:
-Problems only hamper our plans temporary. It is ourselves who cause our plans to come to a halt permanently.
-We live in the power of Christ today and He has set us free. From the laws of Moses. From the accusations of the Evil One. From the judgement of the Creator. Why? Because God loves us so much...Are you living in Christ today?
-I realized I've been walking in condemnation over that matter for far too long...I chose to live in self-pity and think of the negative.
Yesterday after lunch with the adults at Funan, I was invited by Mark to go for New Creation Service with Aunt Aileen and Aunt Grace. I must say, God had a purpose for me to say yes and go despite my time constraints and tiredness.
I went with hesitation and sceptical about the service...It was only when the worship and word began, I felt so sorry for myself. The anointing at New Creation is so strong, they walk with so much confidence only in the Lord, not in Man.
Thank God for so much blessings in my life, have you counted yours?
Gal. 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

I just can't move away from a life in condemnation...
Please pray for me...

"And now she's gone, I await patiently"
God is good, all the time. Challenge your faith today, put it in God and see if the returns are good?
Trust me, you won't regret it. =)

Faith puts a demand on God's anointing
And amen to that! God is faithful and loving. Led worship in youth ministry today, was full of God's presence and Aunt Shanti spoke in the power of the Holy Spirit on Jesus and the Cross. Many and I mean many, youths were convicted and rededicated themselves to Jesus during altar call.
There is power in prayer. We believe. Praying last night was definitely helpful and thank God for being so gracious and merciful. We're gonna endure in this prayer ministry and the Devil is going to be beaten as we get down on our knees and come back to the Lord in the most high.
Lord, there is unlimited power in Your spirit. I pray that You move in our midst as we dedicate to You our lives. I pray and break any attempts of the evil one to come in between You and us in the name of Christ. You are the One, Hallejulah!

Heart of Worship
Lord, if I've hurt anyone today, forgive me Father. I pray for lips of love and grace, words that give life to others around me. Father, I pray for anointing of Your power in my life to impact others. I pray for Your love to spread like fire throughout the Nations.
Lord, Your will be done.
Lord, Your will be done.
