God's word, 5:01 AM

HEADACHE !
Cause I'm thinking of what to post.
Well, Christmas is coming, I'll post something about Christmas.
Topic is:
SANTA VS JESUS!
1.Santa lives at the North Pole ... JESUS is everywhere.

2.Santa rides in a sleigh ... JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

3.Santa comes but once a year. JESUS is an ever present help.

4.Santa fills your stockings with goodies ... JESUS supplies all your needs.

5.Santa comes down your chimney uninvited ... JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and enters your heart.

6.You have to wait in line to see Santa ... JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

7.Santa lets you sit on his lap ... JESUS lets you rest in His Arms.

8.Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?" ...
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our history and future, and He even knows our hearts & how many hairs are on our heads.

9.Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly ... JESUS has a heart full of love, grace, mercy & forgiveness.

10.All Santa can offer is HO HO HO ... JESUS says "Cast your cares on me for I care for
you."

11.Santa's little helpers make toys ... JESUS makes a new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

12.Santa may make you chuckle but ... JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

13.While Santa puts gifts under your tree ... JESUS became our gift and died on the cross,
For you & for me.

It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put CHRIST back in Christmas, Jesus is still the reason for the season.

Lastly, MERRY XMAS!



God's word, 10:00 AM

Self confidence VS God-confidence.

In among Christians, there are quite a few types of people in terms of confidence level.
Some are those with low esteem. (not very good)
Some are those with high esteem. (sounds worst)
Some are those with great self confidence. (sounds nice)
Some are those with great God-confidence. (sounds nicer!)
And the list go on and on and on....

Okay, I'm going to narrow down into two types.
Self confidence VS God-confidence.
It's great to have self confidence especially when you go for job interview or speaking to the public.
With that, you will be even smoother when speaking.
But over self confidence?
It will trash you!
Over self confidence meaning you believe in yourself in everything!
Your confidence level is so high that you believe that everything can be done with your own hands.
You are possible to do anything and everything but in fact you can't.

God confidence?
You believe everything can be done with God!
Even the bible verse proves that!
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!
God wants you to have confidence with Him that He let you know through Christ, everything can be done with your own hands as you got the holy spirit right under your skin!
THAT IS GOD CONFIDENCE!!!
Nothing can compare with that man!
If you really have confidence in God, believe and live with this golden verse, YOU SERIOUSLY CAN DO ALL THINGS!
Just don't forget, you must do it through Christ!


Alright, this post is also a revelation through CHRIST and I feel it's a great message for me to share!



God's word, 5:33 AM


Been thinking of the posts I've posted and what to post so I've came to a conclusion to post what Pastor had preached about and which is what I've been doing along!

Topic of the day: STAR THROWER

I bet a lot of people have read this before, the star thrower but in case nobody have read this, I'm going to post the story of it before I post my message if not there will be no link!

Once upon a time, there was a wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had the habit of walking along the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore; as he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day, so he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead, he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing Starfish into the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked; why are you throwing Starfish into the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and Starfish all along it, you can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely, then bent down, picked up another Starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves. "It made a difference for that one."

His response surprised the man, he was upset, he didn't know how to reply, so instead he turned away and walked back to the cottage to begin his writings.




Alright, I'm back to the topic of the story.
I want to encourage readers to be able to help others needy!
In Luke chapter 5, Jesus saw a group of fisher mens did not have much catch so Jesus helped them to catch a lot of fishes and thus, Peter, James and John became Jesus follower.
Jesus helped them by making their needs and how to do so?

Firstly, you will have to help those who cannot help themselves and be a fisher of men!
Some people might tell me, but everybody are living so well! How am I going to find people who are in need?!

There are a few places and types of people to look out for though.
Go to deep/dark places of the world. I'm not referring to the drains but I'm just referring to the people who are in a ain't better living condition like the poorer estates or places like this.

Find people who have spiritual gap/love disparity. Spiritual gap and those love disparity basically quite easy to spot. Emo people are usually lack of love. Another type is those who have broken family or bad attitude.

Now, two types of people found but how to do so?
Firstly, it is servant hood. You must be willing to bow down your head and be willing to serve them so that they will know that you are of mostly willing to help and not of any special intention.

Secondly, you must be willing to take risks and sacrifice. When you help someone, surely there would be things for you to lose, even time. Some lose are bigger like losing of big bucks or whatever but you must be willing to lose it to be able to help a lot of people.

Thirdly, you must have patient, love, compassion and mercy. If you do not have this 4 aspects, you cannot be able to help anybody. If you don't have the patient to be able to persist on to help, people will reject you so quickly that you will not have the chance. If you don't have love, compassion and mercy in you, you will not even have the heart, the mood to help anybody.

Lastly, the great commandment. It is love your neighbors like you love yourself!

Okay, 6 practical ways to do so.
1. Be hospitable for one another.

1 Peter 4:9 (New King James Version)
Be
hospitable to one another without grumbling.

2. Care for one another.

3. Pray for one another.

James 5:16 (New King James Version)

16 Confess your trespasses[a] to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

4. Restore one another.

James 5:19-20 (New King James Version)

19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul[a] from death and cover a multitude of sins.

5. Teach and admonish one another.

Colossians 3:16 (New King James Version)

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

6. Serve one another.

Galatians 5:13 (New King James Version)

13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.



SO! After sharing how to serve, here's a challenge. We must find our Starfish, and if we throw our stars wisely and well, I have no question that the 21st century is going to be a wonderful place.

Remember:
Vision without action is merely a dream
Action without vision just passes time
Vision with action can change the world



God's word, 9:38 AM


Oh man, I've said I'm going to post in few days time but now it's like over a week!
My apologies man. Been quite busy. Do pray for me alright?

Okay, since I've not posted a message for long, I'll post something very simple. Message for today is <
Why does Christians still have ups and downs?>

Classic question asked by a lot of non- Christians. They will think, why would i sacrifice my time to go to church and in the end, I still have ups and downs?

Here's the answer.

Having ups and downs basically is just the process of life! What we are going through right now is just a small part of us but after we die, the eternal place, be it heaven or hell, is the main thing. So now we're living in a test of life! The ups and downs are tests from God and how do you respond and change the situation will determine the treasure in hell or heaven or maybe even where you spend your eternal life! So ups and downs are just a test from God.

Secondly, ups and downs were also stepping stone from God! It moulds our character too for us to handle any bigger problems in future.

Thirdly, ups and downs might be from the devil trying to destroy you, pull you away from God!

So, I had my 3 reasons for ups and downs, I'll supply 3 reasons for us to accept Christ though.

Firstly, accepting Christ is the MAIN thing to go to heaven! If you are performing very well but at the end of the day, you still don't believe Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior, you will still not go to heaven!

Secondly, we will even have more than enough to even help people overcome their problems! Logically, to be a blessing, you have to be blessed so with the blood of Jesus, we will be bless so we can be a blessing to others!

Lastly, if we have Christ in us, we will be able to overcome problems easier as we are not alone facing the problem but we have the almighty! We will have the wisdom, anointment, strength and blessing of God to help us to solve problems! Heard of the story of footprints? I remembered posting it way before but I'll give a brief summary.

One day, a man dream of walking down the seashore with God and the man saw 2 sets of footprints and God told him this were his life. As the man look, God was always at his side but when he saw the point where he were facing difficulties, there was only one set of footprints. He asked God," Why wasn't you with me when I needed the most?" God replied," I was there with you, and in fact, I am carrying you at my back. I'm carrying the burden for you."

Morale of the story.
God will always be at your side even if you cannot see it, surely He will let you face problems but He will guide you through no matter what and not leave you there!

Another question pop out of my mind as I was typing this story.
Why does Adam live with such blessing in the garden of Eden and we still have ups and downs even if we accepted Christ?

2Reasons.
1. Adam faced problems too! God gave him a problem to solved, which is to name all the animals in the garden and they were all the beast and fowls in the world! It's like such a great number which is a big problem but God helped him to overcome it by giving him great wisdom.

2. True enough, he was still very blessed because he lived in such a clean place whereas we are living with all the sins and evil which is always readily to harm us.

Okay, I think that's about all but before I end this, I would like to share something about me.

Being in church for about 1year and 3months, inexperienced, I'm a cluster leader. I do not know a lot of things and did not know what to do and I have about 6 souls on my hand! Surely, I will face problems and I always get troubled and sometimes, I will be too weak to be so tempted to say GOD I GIVE UP but I carried on! I prayed and went on with this cluster believing God will do something for my cluster, will solve my problem and I'm not the one leading but God is. True enough, as I begin to believe, God begins to solve problems after problems overnight! Miracles have been happening in this cluster making me believing God is really in this cluster.

Guys, God is really in your life. It's just the matter whether you want to have a firm stop of trying to be superman and solve everything on your own, and when nothing goes your way, you blame it to God. You must also pray to Him, believe in Him that He is going to be inside your life and you're not alone. It is only then, things will change. If you want to be superman, God will let you do it and watch you fail but when you are readily allowing Him to do it, He will settle it quickly for you but remember,
GIVE THANKS to everything He does!

Okay, I think that's about all. Hope all this help. I shall end this with a prayer!

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You Lord for giving me this chance to post a message about You, giving me this revelation to tell people about You. Lord, I pray that every reader who reads this blog, their hearts will be stirred. Non-Christian, they will start to believe that God is real in whatever manner.

I thank Lord for keeping readers in this blog and I pray in the name of the Heavenly Father, AMEN!

Please READ WITH FAITH.
This is an awesome prayer.
Believe it and you shall be blessed.
The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a window and pour out blessings that He won't have room to receive them.
I dare anyone to try God.
He is true to His word.
God cannot lie and His promises are sure.

Three things will happen to you this coming week.
1) You will find favor with someone you don't expect.
2) You will be too relevant to be ignored.
3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again.

My prayer for you today:
The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil,
The hands that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain.
The mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever.

Remain in God's love as you send this prayer to everybody on your list.
Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is awesome!
If you truly need a blessing, continue reading this email:

Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God,
I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family and me.
I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother,husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you.
Father, I send up a prayer request for blessings for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message on to.
And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in You, is more powerful than anything.
I thank You in advance for Your blessings.
Father God, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt burdens.
Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk in your word and have the faith of a mustard seed that You will pour out blessings.
I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know you are not done with me yet.
In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.

Send this on quickly and within hours, you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each other.
Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves.
Remain Blessed!!!
Peace and Blessings...'O taste and see that the Lord is good'(Ps.34:8)
OUR HELP IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD WHO MAKE HEAVEN AND EARTH.'LIFE ON EARTH IS NOTHING EXCEPT WE LEAVE IT FOR JESUS CHRIST'
- GOD BLESS YOU.

God's word, 3:50 AM

Yes, here I am sharing one verse which rather impact me somehow.
In Isaiah14:3 it says: It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve.

"It shall come to pass" assures that it will surely come so don't worry, this verse sure works!

"Lord gives you rest from your sorrow and from your fear" Ain't you proud to be a Christian?You have someone of the highest to be able to be given rest from all your unhappiness, fear, resentments and etc... Surely, it shall come to pass, it will happen that when you're so tired, so sad over certain things, so afraid and etc, God will be there for us!

This verse encourages me a lot as I serve in my cluster, there is really sorrows, fears and hard bondage in which I were made to serve! True enough, everything went alright as God gave me rest! Guys, if you are facing problems in the midst of serving and etc, don't be discourage because you have One that some does not have, the rest from God! Ask and you will be given seek and you will find so keep on going! Never give up.



God's word, 12:04 AM

I'll not be doing any sharing for the time being due to O' Levels. Once I've finished it I think I'll come back. Well, it's not easy for me to share the word of God because I'm still far from being a good leader and a good child of God so please, give me time to learn, reflect, update, upgrade, etc. There is a lot of things for me to do. But well, I still failed this test again. Will I give up? Not up to me to choose because I still don't even know if I can give up. Doing all this works of God isn't easy for me at all and I always screw it up again and again and I fail again and again. Do pray for me. Thanks.



God's word, 1:29 AM

Responsibility marks one's maturity



God's word, 6:16 AM

Whenever you're being forced to your knees, it is the best position for you to pray!



God's word, 6:27 AM

2 Timothy 2:11-13 (New King James Version)

11 This is a faithful saying:

For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
12 If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.

This 3 verses really impacts me a lot and I would like to share this to many young Christians out there. I know very few young Christians would not be viewing this blog, this entry, so those more mature Christians, if you think this is good, it will bring up the faith of young Christians, please, share this!

As we become a Christian, abide in God's word, we do not fear death as even if we die we will live with Him! But that doesn't mean you go and die and expect to go to heaven and be with God as we should cherish our lives a lot a lot as it's a gift from Him!

If we endure we shall also reign with Him. True enough, Christian path there is still its ups and downs and it might not be an easy road but if we endure through, we will surely be blessed and we will reign with him!

If we deny God as our Lord and Saviour, true enough he will also deny us as Child of God so we should not deny Him but we should accept Him!

But if we are faithless to Him, He will still remains faithful as He is God and He won't ever deny Himself!





God's word, 8:16 PM




God's word, 7:54 PM


Yes! Jianhui is back after a joyous day in church! But now, I want to answer a question. How does Christians believe and have so much faith in somebody we can't see and picture which is GOD!

The thing about believing is experience. If you experience Him doing great works in you, of course you will start loving Him, He will love you more too and that is how you believe in Him. But how do we experience?

Daniel always emphasise to us that to experience God, to feel his realness, it's not just by coming to church and treat it as a gathering and stuffs . You will never ever experience God in this way. To experience God, to feel his realness, you have to commit. That is why I'm so busy always. I'm committing my time, schedule and things like that to Him and true enough, He is doing great work in me! Now I'm a cluster leader, class vice chairman and with such a great cell group. I'm very bless you see and that is how I experience Him. Through sacrifice, through commitment, I felt His touch. This is very important as many Christians backslide because they did not feel that God is as real as how last time. God is moving so far away but in actual fact, God is standing there but you did not move in and reach out to Him by a step of faith!

That is how we experience and we believe and thus have such great faith in somebody so highly that we could not picture Him!



God's word, 6:24 AM

Hmms, last week my church had a holy communion and my good friend, Shuyi asked me what is it about? What is the bread and the red drink so here, I'll explain to her and everybody else who did not know what it is.

Holy communion is a rite that Christians perform in fulfilment of the instruction that Jesus gave to do in his memory of what he did in giving thanks and sharing with his disciples bread and a cup, which he referred to as his body and blood!

Luke 22:19 (New King James Version)
19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

1 Corinthians 11:24-25 (New King James Version)
24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat;[a] this is My body which is broken[b] for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
