God will take care of You My Dear Friend

May your heart find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are never alone. God is your stronghold, and with Him as your guide, you need never be afraid. Cast all your cares on Him and believe.

Praying and interceding for you,

Jesus loves.

Amen

Dear Friend

I will be praying for you my dear friend.

I will be fasting for you my dear friend.

Lord, I call upon You.

Jesus because You are Love.

Because You are Life.

God, I pray you will move Your mighty hands.

Always trusting in You.

Amen.

Coming out stronger in Him

Lord, take me through the fire,

Take me through the flames.

You were always there, even in the furnace,

You were there right beside me.

Teach me to trust in You,

and let me not bow down to other Gods.

Because it is You,

That I live for.

Attack(s)

Been on a recent surge of attacks spiritually...

Things have been going down by the days...

One after another, I found it harder to thank God by the days...

The overwhelming darkness blinded me from seeing His faithfulness...

For those of you who stood by me and showered your concerns, my gratitude goes out to you and I'll never forget your treasured friendship with me...

For those of you who are still trying to understand what I went through, I'll try to be there whenever you need me to be, I am just a call/sms/email away...

God is the solution, God be my solution...

Times are tough, I'll press on...

This and that, bombarding my mind every single day...

I want to love her, I want to just be friends, I just want to be at peace...

I want to live like Christ, I want to be a light...

Jesus, be my source

Open up our eyes

As another week zooms past, I'm assessing myself on how my walk with God has been.

Personal evaluation? Terrible...Why? Many reasons, too many.

God, won't you open our eyes to see the things unseen?

and yes, to show us how to love like You love us.

Call myself a child of God and yet do not love? Heh, what a hypocrite.

Call myself a follower of Christ and yet ashamed of the gospel? Why like that?

Claim to give God our heart, our desire to honour Him? Have we?

O Lord, we love you so much? How much is our so much?

Personal reflections?

Damned all of us from the time Man sinned. Sure we were heading straight for Hell. Aloha Lucifer!

NO! Remember your Creator. Remember your personal Savior! Jesus Christ is and should be the only reason for you and me to live.

Throw all that other desires and wishes out of the window because they would not have come into the picture if you and I were saved by Grace.

Have you thanked God today?

Mentoring

Had my first mentoring session with a brother today.

Initially was worried and pondering over what I could share with him over a cup of coffee. I guess God works in mysterious wonders and we'll sometimes never know how.

Finding out more about each other a little, we ended up chatting for hours over issues such as the recent NCC debate, church and truth in the bible.

I must say, it was really a fruitful session for me as I learnt much about my dear brother in Christ and also, better understanding of the Word of God.

We shared many common thoughts and ideas and concerns. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and I really look forward to the next session with him.

And yes, I pray that the focus of Jesus Christ will find its way back to our hearts!

Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so.

Do you know?

God bless!

Evermore of His Grace?

It has been an interesting week. And yes, a lot of day offs as well...

Monday was a celebration of instructors' Day in camp,
Tues a halfday at work,
Wed had guard duty but it was really really smooth and chill-out,
Thu had another halfday at work and
Fri was the best, no need to go to camp the entire day! platoon cohesion!

What more can I say other than the abundance of God's grace!

It truely is an amazing journey in life as one chooses to live by God's Grace.

Yes, we talk about repentance and fear of God but do you know all that comes about by God's grace? and that fear of God means to worship Him in gratitude?

I hope my bro-in-Christ doesn't mind me but do take a look at his post - www.xanga.com/bloggersoh

I assure you that your perspective as a child of God will change after you read his posts...

God loves, He doesn't wish to inflict pain on you! He loves you! Don't believe me? Go read John 3:16, God so LOVED the world...

Yes, indeed nowadays though trials and temptations may come, but gradually I'm beginning to see God's grace more and more clearly in my life. So much that I will choose not to sin against my Abba Father and that I'm sure, is what the Bible meant that where sin abounds, His grace abounds much more!

God's given grace is to help us choose not to sin anymore, not to say that oh, Christians ah? can continue to sin...

God has made a way out for us who were once damned! So today, which way would you choose? Who will you submit the Lordship of your life to?

Jesus loves you this I know, for the bible tells us so!

God bless all you folks! Remember His grace is sufficient for us! Amen!

God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

The ultimate Grace

Grace of God, what does that exactly mean to you?

Jesus paid the price, what value does it have?

GOD so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His ONE and ONLY SON that those who BELIEVE in HIM will NOT PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE.

What does that mean to you?

Will you start living your life today in victory that is in Christ?

http://www.xanga.com/bloggersoh is a wonderful brother's posts which never fails to portray the true love of God and His grace. I hope it will bless you!

Pastor Mike from Planet Shakers

Admist the hot topic on Mike from Planet Shakers and all that grilling on him, here is my piece/thoughts I want to share:

Who has never lied? Who has not sinned?

I am certain people are hurt because of this.

Personally, I am not going to pass a judgement on Mike because God says love even your enemies...

Let God judge every one of us according to His standards and let us not pass judgements or comments anymore as children of God.

The world is deceptive and the story is media-reported, so if it is true, to what extent?

Do YOU know the full story behind it?Who would know?

I hope this helps

Times of Revival

Much to say but time again, restricts me from doing so.

Revival, not just about the world but also, seems to be about myself too.

For a really long time, I've been brooding over and hounded by affairs of the heart. And yes, I have been bothered by it. But recently, I'm able to share my struggles with brothers in Christ and finding solace and assurance that God's love is more than just a girl I deem perfect for me.

Revival in me? I'm kind of in a mindset to push for evangelism right now. With so
many events and signs on revival and harvesting, I can't deny that the Lord is indeed telling the Church of Singapore something.

I thank God I have not fallen away or chose to do what I saw as the right choice. His ways are higher and definitely, not what we can imagine.

God is mysterious but good. The way He does things is unlike the world.

The blessings in camp - The lift home, the day offs, the easy life.
The blessings in cell - More guests, Bible study
The blessings in church - Friends, co-workers in Christ

There are really much to thank God for and to rejoice, yet why hold back on spreading it?

Something to ponder. Life is short, what are you doing with it?

God bless,
In His Love

Fast and Pray

Was reading Acts 1 today. And I was reminded how the people in Acts fasted for 40 days for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit!

We gonna start a 40 day fast for the youth ministry. Thank God really for the like-minded brothers who wants to see God do His great work and transformation in WRPF youths.

Pray; Fast; Pray; Fast...

Lord, Break our hearts for what break Yours.

Jesus

He is the reason that I live.

He should be the reason that I live.

He's got to be the reason that I live.

Jesus, I want to live for You.

I want to, cause I know it's what you want for me.

I love God!

How about you?

Salvation is here

Went to join YWAM on the streets again. Back at Ngee Ann City. I was mistaken, 3 were saved yesterday instead of 2. And 1 more today! How great is that!

Do keep the team in prayer as they go forth and to many other nations to preach the gospel to the unreached! Amen!

Btw, tml, we'll be at skate park so do drop by!

Sending Out Missionaries

YWAM is in Church Youth Service today. Initially wasn't very enthu about everything today. Suddent attack I guess? But after lunch at PS, some of us headed back to church where YWAM peeps from Pittsburgh were practising their dance moves for tonight. I just felt the tugging to go with the team all the way, and I'm glad I did.

So the team headed for lunch at 6 at nearby coffeeshop, too bad could have brought them to better places. Left at 7 for Orchard where the team is sharing on the streets. It's really cool, in the middle of Orchard and right smack in front of TAKA!

So they laid out their props and began the dance and drama section, despite knowing it's illegal in Singapore but these guys have big faith in our Big God! Then after they went around talking and sharing Christ with people, in the most gentlest way I've known. And as far as I know, 2 were saved tonight! Hallelujah!

So anyway, the team retired back at 10 and I left subsequently. But deep inside me, I know for the next few nights that these youths are in town, I am so going to join them! For the Glory of our God! To make His Name known throughout the Nations! Amen.

Facts of Faith

Celebrate the lavish gift of grace. You were saved because Jesus is crazy about you and wants you to be with him in heaven. Revel in it!

· Show your faith. Wedding rings don’t make you married, but they say “Yes” in a visible way. In the same way, baptism isn’t the thing that will get you into heaven but it’s an act of obedience. (Jesus commanded us to baptize and be baptized.)

· Share your faith with the people around you. If you are excited about what God has done in your life, then why not share it? There are lots of ways to do that. Get plugged into serving God. There are literally millions of possibilities. Point people to Jesus and love them like Jesus did. It’ll be something you will relish for eternity.

Hope this will bless whoever is reading =)

Grow grow grow

Just like the formula for babies to drink GROW GROW GROW, we all need the right and moderate amount of vitamins and minerals to grow healthily. That is of course excluding the experiences we all go through individually in our lives.

But what is most important to a growing baby is the need for milk.

My question is, are we having the right source of food in our spiritual lives?
Are we looking at the right source?

I believe a revival is coming and nearing soon. A lot of the youth leaders are believing and banking on that. We can only trust God and obey.

God we really don't want to miss this wave. Help us to see, hear and obey your very words spoken to us. In Christ name we ask, amen.

Go to Hell

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.

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.

Passage to relate: Exodus 25:10-22

Well God bless all =)

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!
