Co-leading Cell

I actually had the intention to write this post since last week, but work, as always, was and is still a hazard. At least I manage to steal some time off tonight to pen down my thoughts; not bad. :D

First of all, initially when Min Shiung and Yiyi mentioned the idea of co-leading the cell, it came as a shock to me. Me being me, I always preferred a lower profile regardless of anything that I do. I am never the kind to stand up and assume responsibilities. Never. *loL~*

As Min Shiung and Yiyi were sharing about why they chose me; the shock sank in, revealing something clearer. I remembered at that time, I was reading the book of Matthew, so while my memory still served, this verse came to me.

Matthew 4:19-20
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him.

When the first disciples were called by Jesus, they did not ask, "Err... why me?" Nor did they say "Let me think about it leh..." Min Shiung and Yiyi were kind enough to give me time to think over it, but I thought it to be a calling from God, and I said "ok". :)

It may seem like a reckless decision; in fact it is! To a certain extent I still feel I'm not up to it. Reason? I'm such a young Christian!

I still remember five years ago, I was a staunch free-thinker who ridicules people speaking in tongues, that they were in fact babbling nonsense. I attended church very unwillingly, and what the pastors spoke gave me drowsy spells instead.

I still remember four years ago, God's Word started to make a _little_ sense to me. There was no revelation whatsoever, and I was still dwelling in sins with an ever willful heart.

I still remember three years ago, God's Word began to take shape in my heart. I got baptised that year, and though still stumbling along the road, I began to walk.

Two years ago, as I finished my National Service, was the fateful time when I joined this cell group. Through bonding and sharing, we grew together in our walk with God and with each other. Praise God!

Just last year, I finally began to serve after months of procrastination and prayers through the church's choir, Praislight.

That's my very short biography, and I hope it dint bore you. :P The other part which amounted to my unpreparedness-cum-initial shock is that I have not read the Bible from cover to cover, not even once yet.

Nonetheless, as I learn my way around in life, in work, in relationships, in the Bible, in co-leading cell, I believe God will always show a way in everything. That's another message that I can share with everyone: God always shows a way; He will not place things in front of us that we cannot handle. We just have to trust Him and always walk with His faith.

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Finally, I'm very happy to be able to serve everyone in areas more than my usual weekly-long-winded-sharing. *loL~* As I learn to be a better leader for God, I hope that you guys will be patient with me if I do anything wrong.

And since you are reading this now, won't you do this prayer with me? :)

***

Father Lord, thank You for all the wonderful siblings You have placed in our cell group. Through holy meetings and gatherings, we are able to grow and bond strongly together in Your Holy Name.

You set our days right O Lord, and we continue to trust that Your plans are there to prosper us and to teach us how to lean and rely more on you than on our own strength. Indeed Father, that it is only when we are weak, will we find Your mighty arm holding us together, giving us the strength we need, renewing our spirit daily.

Let us not falter in our walk with You Lord. Your Word is the lamp to our feet and the light on our paths. I pray that You will guide our way as a cell to bring Your Good News to the people outside our cell, into Your house O Lord.

Bless this cell group Father, that we may have the wisdom to do what's righteous in Your eyes, keeping Your faith, and seeking only Your qualification and praise. May your plans be revealed and Your will be done in our lives Father.

Glory and praise to Your Name forever and ever. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen!

You Have Our Attention, Lord

The recent financial crisis is apparent, and although in Singapore there's not much effect felt, people elsewhere are suffering under the pressure. Let's pray together for the betterment of everyone for the One who so loves us, Jesus Christ.

Here's a prayer by Max Lucado. :)

Mom's Home!

My mom is finally discharged from hospital after 10 hospitalised days. Officially, she had been sick for 12 days. Here's the story. :)

I Hate Being A Cry Baby

But can I help it?

Occasionally some things will come along the way, touches your heart in its deepest corners, triggers the emotion centre of your heart and the floodgates of your eyes will just give way.

I wanted to post this video yesterday, because it made me burst into tears when I was just trying to kill time over lunch before I head off to church. I just watched it again, and well... you already know what happened.

Stories like Team Hoyt are indeed meant to strengthen us through all kinds of difficulties and struggles. Like Dick Hoyt (the father) who gave his all just to spend more time with his son and allow him to experience more of life, the same way has God wanted us to experience more of life through the blood of Jesus Christ.

I love my Father, and I'm not ashamed to make it known to the world. Pray that His amazing strength will work in us, and let us not fail to continue to spread His Word and love to those around us. I had done so little for Him thus far, and I can do _so much more_.

We can do all things in Him who strengthens us.



When asked what one thing Rick (the son) wished he could give his father, his reply was "The thing I'd most like is that my dad would sit in the chair and I would push him once."

The Evangecube

My colleague was showing me an actual evangecube today. I thought it is really neat as it will help put across an important message to pre-believers of Christ succinctly.

However, since I have no idea where to get one of these, I probably can't show it to any of you. But well, praise God for there are videos already available made to spread this important message. :)

Wonder if we could probably get our church to buy in bulk, so that this may be one of our evangelistic tools? Just some thoughts. :P

The Singapore Song

This is the song composed and sung by Pastor Rony.

I really want to thank God for this heart of his, for it really inspired and touched me deeply. For many years of my life, National Day probably just meant a plain and simple public holiday; a day to have fun and be free.

The question is how are we able to experience the fun and freedom now, if our forefathers never paid the price? It was a price that we could *never* comprehend or experience; the pain, suffering, poverty and struggle. How many of us actually know how it feels like to _struggle to survive_?

Even as I write this post, strong emotions are crashing upon my heart. I'm thankful for God's protection over this land, that we may have peaceful days, a clean government with no known corruption, an island that's free from natural disasters, and a considerably safe society that we can be assured of our safety when we're out on the streets.

All these are things that are too easy to be taken for granted when we are born and raised in a time of peace. With this song, I do feel a lot more appreciative for this land that I stay and live in. This is the place that I call...

Home.

Somewhere In The Middle

This is the song by Casting Crowns that I shared during cell tonight, and as promised, here it is. :)

Just wanted to share some things before jumping straight into the song. In the lyrics of the song, I believe we all can see ourselves. We are always in the middle for God; sometimes hot other times cold, sometimes righteous other times in sin.

Yet in all of these situations when we can't even see ourselves, it's just amazing that God always manage to find us. Always. He never let us go just because we sin again, He never refuse to listen to our concerns, and He never abandon us.

Even when we are somewhere in the middle, His mighty arms are always outstretched forth to us, waiting for our return like the prodigal son. His love never fails.

With eyes wide open to the differences,
the God we want and the God who is.
But will we trade our dreams for His
or are we caught in the middle.

The Word Is Alive

Not too sure if you guys have heard of this song called "The Word Is Alive" by Casting Crowns? It contains a very strong message that really encouraged me, and I hope it will encourage you and all who stumbles upon this blog post too. :)

The Bible was inscribed over a period of two thousand years, in times of war and in days of peace; by kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers and shepherds. The marvel, is that a library so perfectly cohesive could have been produced by such a diverse crowd over a period of time which staggers the imagination. Jesus is its grand subject, our good is designed, and the glory of God is its end.

Powerful eh? Here's the full song with lyrics. ;)

Overworked, But God Is Always Around

The last month saw me working too hard on a single project, and I fell sick from sore throat, which led to flu, and of course, cough. Even though I tried a couple of methods to cure, I am still coughing, albeit slowly recovering. Guess my immune system is pretty whacked. :P

While I was busy working, quiet time with God was also chewed away. It was especially so for the week that just past, seeing me OT till hours when I am the only one left in the building. I felt detached; being away from Him for too long is never a good thing. :S

So that's possibly why I love serving in my ministry so much, because it brings me close to God every weekend, serving His people, and being amidst my brothers and sisters who all share the same joy with me. :D

I'm talking about THE kind of joy that overflows from deep within your heart, so hard to contain that it feels as if it wants to burst out, warms your nerves and yet chills your spine, and leads your muscles to produce the brightest kind of smile you thought you never had. *lol~* That's the kind of joy I experience when I'm serving God. :)

Watching miracles of healing by the grace of God every Miracle Service also brings refreshing strength to my tired soul. And yesterday was one such night. :)

From the start of the service till the end, I could feel the fresh anointing Spirit of God filling the corners of the sanctuary, and I felt great peace and joy in my heart which I could not feel for the past week.

To top things off, Li Nanxing (李南星) and Chen Tai Ming (陈泰明) also came to our service! It was extremely encouraging when the both of them, being public figures, responded to the salvation call and (re)dedicated their lives to God. From the stage, we could even hear fellow Lighters clapping and cheering!

Praise God! :D

A Decision

Dearest brothers and sisters,

Hope this post finds all in great health! :)

As a very recent decision, I decided to stop and start removing "Our Daily Bread" entries from this blog.

The reason is pretty obvious: post rate for "Our Daily Bread" is high, and all our personal sharing of experiences and testimonials gets buried to somewhere which is hard to find.

Our personal sharing entries are what I felt to be of greater importance, since it helps to encourage each other in times of need, and people who stumbles upon our blog finds us growing strongly in faith together. Not an easy decision, but I hope to find support in this decision from you guys. :)

Finally, if you're looking for "Our Daily Bread" postings, you can find it from the official site.

In His love.

Greetings From France!!



Hey Guys!

We're GREAT! Thanks for all your concerns and prayers through the week! We've just settled down in our Hostel in Grenoble and are getting used to the lifestyle here. Unfortunately, in Grenoble, it is as hot as it can get in Singapore! Afternoon temperatures can hit a high of 28 - 29 Deg! So yea, we brought all the thick clothing for nothing~~~ >_0 (Well, at least can use them for the tour) Haha. We spent 2 days in Paris before moving down south to Grenoble. France is a beautiful place with lots and lots of land. However, standard of living here is high! So we gotta live like paupers most of the time here. Haha

Oh yea, something to share. When we were in Europe, we visited alot of cathedrals and churches. We saw the many statues and pictures of Christ on the cross and in His glorified form. (Almost half of all the paintings in the Lourve are about Christ) And although its mainly catholic, nonetheless, looking at all these statues and paintings seemed to bring the reality of Christ's death on the Cross for us. Both me and Pris felt a deep sense of serenity and holiness in the eyes of the Lord, and we just want to share and encourage that indeed Christ is so real as He is right now in our very hearts!

So yea~ having that thought in mind, we really dun feel that alone out here anymore!! Heehe, not to mention of course we got each other as well. And for you guys there whom somehow or rather feeling lonely or dejected by circumstances, fret not! For the joy of the Lord is our strength! Praise God! Bless all of you and take care! We miss ya all!

Agape Love,

Pris and Adriel

Thirsty For God?

Came across this late this evening, and thought I should post it before I hit the sack. This was a random quote taken out from a sermon I guess, as it was offered as it is as you see below.

If you don't have the thirst that the Psalmist has for the house of God and for the people of God and the worship of God, I want to ask you right away, and ask my own heart: have you lost the wonder of it all? Have you?

When I read this quote it really bummed me with its authoritative tone. It also got me thinking about what have I been doing with all my free time, and also upon the wondrous things God has done, and is still doing for us.

I have an intention of posting this; Hope it blesses and brings reflective thoughts to everyone who reads it. :)

No Access To Internet

Two days back when I returned home, it was to my displeasure to find that my internet service is down. Now I have no idea what the problem might be. It could be a case of a spoilt modem, temporary poor service (highly unlikely since it had been a good two days), or could be any other plausible reasons that you might think of.

Bottom line is, I don't know what happened. :S

Furthermore, these days had been really busy for me. Rehearsals for tomorrow's Good Friday performance had been running very often, and in the interim other important stuff found their way to fill up my schedule. After this busy period, I will go and check out what actually went wrong and hopefully be able to update from home again.

Till then guys! :)

Carried In His Strong Arms

(View Daily Bread)
Isaiah 46:1-11 (NIV)
Gods of Babylon

1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low;
their idols are borne by beasts of burden.
The images that are carried about are burdensome,
a burden for the weary.
2 They stoop and bow down together;
unable to rescue the burden,
they themselves go off into captivity.

3 "Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
all you who remain of the house of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since you were conceived,
and have carried since your birth.
4 Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

5 "To whom will you compare me or count me equal?
To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?
6 Some pour out gold from their bags
and weigh out silver on the scales;
they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god,
and they bow down and worship it.
7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry it;
they set it up in its place, and there it stands.
From that spot it cannot move.
Though one cries out to it, it does not answer;
it cannot save him from his troubles.

8 "Remember this, fix it in mind,
take it to heart, you rebels.
9 Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say: My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.
11 From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that will I bring about;
what I have planned, that will I do.

Words Of Inspiration

This Sunday Senior Pastor Rony gave a sermon on Words of Inspiration, words of wisdom to draw inspiration and motivation from. Although some are incomplete, (those marked with "(?)"), I've already emailed the church staff to inquire for the entire list. Hopefully they'll reply soon and I'll update this list again. :D

Hope this extensive list of golden words manifest in your hearts, and may God bless you amply. :)
Proverbs 25:11 (NIV)
A word aptly spoken
is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
  1. The subject of success is the study of the obvious.
  2. The foundation of success lies in the application of God's principles.
  3. Lasting success in life is knowing your identity, purpose and destiny.
  4. The 3 success factors are: character, competence and consistency.
  5. Success is not a destination but a journey in the right direction as one progresses in truth, faith and love. So success is a progress of learning and experiencing God's presence and principles.
  6. A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.
  7. The heart of success is the golden service of the useful (?) to others.
  8. When you consistently satisfy a need, you will be in demand.
  9. We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.
  10. It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
  11. A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
  12. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
  13. Your income seldom exceeds what you invest in your personal development.
  14. It is hard to keep that which hasn't been obtained through personal devotion and sacrifice.
  15. The only way to enjoy anything in life is to earn it first.
  16. Where your talents and the needs of the world cross lies your calling.
  17. Your talent is God's gift to you, but what you do with it is your gift back to God.
  18. It's not your aptitude but your attitude that determines your altitude.
  19. Nothing can stop the man with the right attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
  20. You cannot buy a good attitude with a million dollars but the right attitude can earn you the first million.
  21. Your poor EQ can sabotage your high IQ.
  22. I cannot do everything but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
  23. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
  24. Problems are often possibilities and opportunities in disguise.
  25. It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
  26. Great wealth without a balanced healthy life is not success at all.
  27. The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.
  28. When you make money your god, it will plague you like the devil.
  29. Build your life to become an example, not a warning.
  30. Your best dreams and ideas will remain only dreams if you don't wake up and execute them.
  31. Vision + Passion + Action = Success
  32. A goal is a dream with a deadline.
  33. The secret of success is to do common things uncommonly well.
  34. The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.
  35. A wise man always delivers more than he promises.
  36. Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things. Excellence is doing right things right.
  37. To learn well, one has to ask the right questions and get the right answers from the right people.
  38. Failure need not be permanent the moment you learn from it.
  39. Failure is never final until you give up.
  40. Failure is only the opportunity (?)
  41. Don't let failure go to your heart. (?)
  42. What has happened is not as important as what you do about what has happened.
  43. The best economic strategy is to keep improving and doing more than required.
  44. People who never do anymore (?)
  45. Joining an easy group will not inspire you to soar, so go where the expectations and demands are high.
  46. Life is a process of accumulation so be careful what you collect.
  47. Effective motivation is encouragement plus correction.
  48. He who is good at making excuses is seldom good at anything else.
  49. We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sail.
  50. The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.
Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.

Resolutions

(View Daily Bread)
Nehemiah 10:28-31 (NIV)
28 "The rest of the people - priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants and all who separated themselves from the neighboring peoples for the sake of the Law of God, together with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand - 29 all these now join their brothers the nobles, and bind themselves with a curse and an oath to follow the Law of God given through Moses the servant of God and to obey carefully all the commands, regulations and decrees of the LORD our Lord.

30 "We promise not to give our daughters in marriage to the peoples around us or take their daughters for our sons.

31 "When the neighboring peoples bring merchandise or grain to sell on the Sabbath, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day. Every seventh year we will forgo working the land and will cancel all debts. ..."
