It was not easy but I'm glad we had.
Thanks for being a big-brother to me.
The road ahead is still long,
Still, I look forward to the journey.
May God Almighty keep you and bless you in all you do.

The Breathe of Life within me
As I read Gen. 1-3, I was amazed again by 1 fact.
God breathed you and me into life.
You may ask what is so special about that?
It is special because God spoke all other things into life and form,
but He made you and me out of the dust and Breathed life into us.
Maybe that explains the kind-hearted conscious in all of us because God is Good!
Are you aware today that you have the breathe of God in you?

Eph3:16-17
I pray that out of His glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts though faith...
This is dedicated to all my brothers and sisters in Christ out there
I hope all will turn out well tomorrow.
God bless.

What an amazing God
I'm back for a second post for a good reason.
I had just finished praying and picked up my long-forgotten prayer book and browsed through it and reminiscing the times I prayed much much more.
What happened to me!!!
Anyway, I smsed a brother to check on his prayer request and
he replied me saying that he just did what I was about to ask him...
What an amazing God and perfect His timing can be =)
Arghh
My head is splitting up!
I've been having this bugging headache on the left of my head and it has not been better.
Please cover me in prayer.
Today I picked out Matthew 4 and read on Jesus' temptations in the desert.
1. Jesus knew His identity (do you know your identity in Christ?)
2. Jesus did not step over His Father's will (do you sometimes choose to do your own will?)
3. Jesus chose not to please himself (have you died to yourself so you live in Christ today?)
And I read Gen. about Adam and Eve as well:
How interesting the conversation between the serpent and Eve and how Eve became unsure of what God had said and commanded.
The Devil doesn't present lies as they seem. He distorts the truth and at times, gives us the partial truth, causing us to fix our eyes away from God.
Man and Woman's creation: w-o-man...
I was giving that some thoughts and this was what I got interestingly,
Was Originally MAN...
As we all know Eve was created by God from Adam's rib.
Just a thought, no offence to the ladies out there =)
God bless all of you

Thank God for you =) We finally meet up again!

Sense of Stillness
This weekend flew past again really quick.
Manged to catch 2 movies, Underworld and Valkyrie.
Both I would give thumbs up.
As for myself, I really am clueless as to where I'm heading in life right now especially in terms of relationship.
But 1 thing is for sure, that I will seek after God in this issue.
Just thought of this while on the net,
Many times we have someone to meet; something to do or a promise to keep.
But we always push it away and tell ourselves that it can be done later; tomorrow or another time.
But do you really know if you will live till tomorrow?
Would things still be the same 5 mins later?
If you're reading this now, and God has placed in your heart to do something,
please...
Don't hesitate and go ahead to do it.
You might not know what God has in store for you and me.
God is our ever-present help in times of need =)
Be Blessed!

Romans 15:5-6
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today had to lead worship in youth service. Felt I had let God down. I don't know how to explain. Maybe it's just my own thinking.
I should have known better not to have played last night.
Or maybe I had not been fully obedient to God.
Worship is not about our musical expressions alone to God.
It is the lifestyle we lead that is the key to worshipping God.

I know I am not alone, God is here but somehow I feel so lonely.
O God, I'm desperate for You. Won't You come as You are.
I'm still praying in hope, dear God I will wait upon You.
I'm still praying in hope, dear God I will wait upon You.
Let Your sovereign will Lord over my desire and wants.
Jesus let Your commands be my biggest concern everyday.
Live holy, as God is holy.
We don't even seem to know each other anymore.
It sure is interesting to see what God is doing.
Going through this won't be easy, but I ain't gonna throw in the towel just yet.
You'll see.
Whatever happens, whatever decisions that you'll make.
Please know that I'm praying for you, everyday.
And I mean it. Everyday.
That somehow, someday, we'll realize all that happened doesn't matter anymore.
Because Jesus is coming back. I don't know if I should be excited or worried.
Trust and obey.
I'll learn to do just that.
I pray you'll see where I'm coming from.
Sovereign God, You have full control.

Food for Thought
If things goes our way, it's sure easy to say Life is wonderful
But if things don't, would you?
Or maybe cause only God is wonderful =)

His will be done
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!

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.
