Mistakes
Monday, October 29, 2007

Well, today Superlife was great! For the 1st time during worship, I saw a group of kids raising their hands and worshipping God with all their hearts and they were doing it not because someone asked they to do so but because they wanted to touch The Very Heart Of God!
The 1st service was refreshing!
P.J (pastor Joyce) gave an altar call and the awesome Megalifers were told to pray for the kids..
As I was praying for a kid, I touched his head as I prayed... Cordelia came up to me after I prayed and told me that I wasn't suppose to do that cos' touching of heads is more of like specially anointed people can do that..
After I learnt that, I felt abit guilty about it..
I tried to stop thinking about it but i couldn't.. So I asked Sherman to pray for me and after that I felt better! :D
During the 2nd service, at first I thought it wouldn't turn out as good as the 1st service..
But in the end, the altar call was so good! God's presence was so much stronger than in the 1st service! As I went to the altar, I was touched by God! All my guilt was gone! As I cried, I felt that all my guilt and worries left me!
Tommy cried too and at the end of the service I asked him if God spoke to him and he sayed yes!
Well, you know we all make mistakes! And mistakes are not things we go through to discourage us! But we go through it to strengthen us!
I'm glad that God taught me something new today trough Cordelia..

"LORD God I pray that you help us to learn from any mistakes we make LORD and I pray that we do not get discourage by our mistakes but instead strengthen us LORD! In Jesus name, Amen!"

Well, lets all learn from our mistakes and grow strong in God's word!

There's a song that I think, ministers to me about mistakes.. The song is 'from the inside out'



From The Inside Out

A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out


God Bless!



God's presence in my house

Well, last night Ben lee stayed at my house.. We slept for only about 2 hrs cos' last night at around 11.55, as I was playing the guitar, Ben told me that he could feel God.. So I continued to play and we remained still before the LORD...
Awhile later, we prayed for the our families and for the Superlife ministry..

God's presence was so strong and it was like, He was sitting with us!
After that, God put a new song in my heart and I dunno why, but I started singing the new song in tongues and in English and the words and everything was all from God although I was singing it.. The part that ministered to me was the word 'Life testimony'

We finished worshipping and stuff at around 3.15am.. We felt so refreshed!
This was the very 1st time I ever felt God's presence so strongly in my house! God also spoke to us in many ways while we were worshipping and stuff!

So lets all be desperate for God!
"Lord God I pray LORD that you come and speak to us O LORD! Put in that desperation in us to know you more LORD! And LORD I pray that you help us to never lose that fire! In Jesus Almighty name Amen!!!"

God Bless! =D





Do the right thing!
Thursday, October 25, 2007

Well, today before band practice started, I talked to Gavin about God and at first we didn't talk much, but awhile later God just did a miracle.. Well, I started praying for Gavin after talking to him about God for awhile and after I prayed for him, he told me that he felt something touching his back and applying force... After that, I talked to him again and we talked and prayed a few more times.. Until God gave us something else to talk about.. Well, it was those card games that he was playing, check Kenneth Heng's blog for more info of why we don't encourage people to play this game: http://worshipper4christ-yuan.blogspot.com/2007/10/pokemon-cute-stuff-think-again.html

So after talking to Gavin for awhile, I decided to again pray for him and after praying, he took one of his best cards and tore it! After that he took his whole deck of cards and threw them into the dustbin! I was quite surprise that he did that.. I mean, his a new Christian and he's willing to sacrifice so much for God, I have not seen a new Christian do this before! God must be very please with Gavin.. After that we chatted for awhile more and when I wanted to close in prayer, Gavin told me that he wanted to try and speak in tongues! So I let him try and God led us into praying for Gavin to have the gift of tongues.. After that, i'm wasn't sure if Gavin had the gift of tongues but I asked him to keep praying for it.. While praying, I could see that Gavin was desperate for the gift of tongues..
I talked to him during recess yesterday and before that i talked to him a few time already and he told me that today was the first time that he felt God's presence so strong when talking to me! I also felt God's presence and it was so peaceful!

" LORD God I pray that you give us wisdom and help us know what we should play and what we shouldn't play.. And I pray that you protect us from any attacks from the devil in the Mighty Name Of Jesus! devil I cammand you to flee! In the Name Of Jesus! Amen!"

God Bless!



Love

Well there are different types of Love: Phileo, Agape and eros... So far these are the three Love I know.. I think theres more.....
Phileo, Agape and eros are Hebrew words.

Phileo - Really Love / Desire
Agape - Choice of decision for someone
Eros - Man & Women

Heres the difference of Phileo and Agape

Phileo
-Emotional
-Discriminatory
-Conditional
-Pleasure
-Inconsistent
-Liking
-Because of
-Fails

Agape
-volitional (By choice)
-Non-discriminatory
-Unconditional
-Preciousness
-Consistent/ Disciplined
-prizing
-In spite of
-Never Fails

Well, God's love is Agape Love!
I've been praying for the heart of Agape these few days.. God says Love one another
Love your neighbor as yourself- Mark 12:31
Also check out Matthew 10:8 , 1Peter 1:22 and John 13:34-35

Lets all pray for the heart of Agape!
God Bless! :D



Friends

Well, these few days in school i've been trying to mix around with the people that are insulted, rejected, etc.. in class.. Well, I'm sure God wants us to stand up for our friends when their insulted and stuff.. I've been in that position before, now its not so bad.. It always happen in school and school is a place we go to almost everyday and if we're gonna step into the school and get insulted, rejected, etc.. school is gonna be like a place you go to just to learn and not make friends..
Most of the time we just follow the crowd in insulting some soul trying to find friends!
Although school friends may be irritating, lets think of this way, God's greatest commandment was to Love God and Love people.. So no matter how irritating people around you are, still love and forgive them!
I learnt from Kenneth Heng that words are very strong and why don't we use it to encourage each other and not to discourage each other! The feeling of rejection in school or anywhere is something that no one likes! Only people that like to be alone are ok with that.
Well, so why don't we all use our words to encourage each other and lets stand up for those rejected, insulted,etc.. people around us!
Well, these few days I've been challenging myself to be patient! You may see me as a patient person but most of the time i'm not.. So now I'm really praying about it.. And next year I'll most likely have to do small group in Superlife for primary 4! And patience is really needed! So please keep me in prayer!

"LORD I pray that You help all of us to be patient and help us to love the people around us, give us the Heat of Agape. In Jesus name, Amen!"

God Bless! =D



Tao-pok day
Sunday, October 21, 2007

Today was a cool day! Jillian, Jeremy, Joel and I decided not to take part in the zone 1 soccer match selection day for the 4th of November.. I can't take part cos i plan to go out with the youth band (R4C) On that day cos it is a special day! =D
The four of us went to get some drinks and walked around the beach, awhile later, Cordelia asked us to help take orders for drinks.. We went to downtown to get the drinks.. After we came back, we went back to the beach, on the way to the beach Jeremy and Joel tao-poked me! after that, Jillian wrote on the sand:



After everything, we had dinner with Ian and gang at Subway.. Merrill,Jillian, Jeremy, Joel and I went to white sands together they were taking bus while I was taking MRT.. On the way to white sands, Jeremy, Joel and Merrill tao-poked me at the park near by..



We went crazy in white sands... ...
Well, I guess we managed to bond together after today..
God Bless! :)



Obeying the voice of God

Today was kool! My house water pipe had some problems so we had to bathe in cold water!
At around 1 plus, i reached church and went to the band room..
I played Ben's elec for awhile, I kept on playing harmonics cos' i was too happy that I finally learnt how to play harmonics! :D
I play something I created, double harmonics.. After playing it for awhile, Ben's 1st string broke! Haha!!!

Anyway, at night in cell, Ben koh shared with us that God gave him a vision about cell worship and how it should be done! We were told to find our own place alone to worship God.. The lights were turned off.. As I worshiped, I felt that God was in front and that he wanted me to go infront..
I didn't know if I should go infront or not.. But whats there to lose what if I meet God infront?
I slowly walked towards the stage and I felt God!
Slowly again I went to the stage and slowly I went all the way to the wall..
When I went to the wall, God spoke to me saying: 'I'll use you!'
Awhile later, I saw a few pair of eyes! The eyes were starring at me angrily.. It looked demonic!
I started saying a verse: ' He who is in me, is greater than he who is of the world.'
And I started speaking in tongues.. I kept repeating the same tongues and then I saw that darkness was taken away and there was Light! It was an experience I never had before!

Well, many times we feel that God wants us to do something in faith but we're not sure what it is! The devil will try to confuse us.. But what we should do is to tell the devil: 'What if it works? Whats there to lose?' So why don't we all obey God? Ben Koh obeyed God by fufilling the vision God gave him! So lets obey God, Whats there to lose and What if it works?
How many times we ask God to speak but we don't obey?
There is a song that I fell, really tells is to obey God! The song is called 'here I am' by planetshakers..
I can't find the mp3 for this song.. But well, heres the lyrics.. Read it and let it minister to you!


Here I am
Something in my heart
Burning like a fire
I want to live for You

Need Your touch right now
Fill me with Your power
Power to live for You my God

I will not be moved
I will stand for You

I will go where You send me
Jesus take me now I am Yours
I am Yours

Lay my life on the altar
Everything I give to You alone

Here I am
Here I am

Here I am send me


God Bless!! :)





October Prayer meeting..
Friday, October 19, 2007

After the prayer meeting, my sister,Ian, Yi ren, Small Ben and joshua went to Bk to have supper! Ian didn't come for prayer meeting but he joined us for supper.. When he came, we were about to leave already.. Merrill and gang came with their new drink that Jeremy says it is high in calcium.. The moment i drank it, I felt like vomiting.. After every thing Ian, my sister and I walked to the interchange cos' the bus service had ended.. By the time we reached the MRT, the train service ended! So we had to call Mummy and Daddy to pick us up =D




Do NOT limit God!!!
Wednesday, October 17, 2007

The last few days have really been a challenge of faith... Well, you can see on my post 'hearing the voice of God' , that God told me that everything will be fine.. But last Thursday, when i received my results, I was super sad... I really had to depend on the last 3 subjects...

On Saturday, I talked to Kenneth Heng about this, I felt so refreshed after talking to him.. But in the evening, after Megalife, I started to get angry over nothing! Until during cell when i asked God to help me.. I felt peace.. During cell, I shared my exam problems with some friends, they prayed for me too! And i was encouraged..
On Sunday, I was serving in Superlife and I could feel God's presence for the whole day! I felt so encouraged by friends around me..
2 days ago, for the whole afternoon, I listened to some songs which had kids worshipping God inside.. I listened and read a book talking about God speaking to us and I felt peace and I learned alot! One of the things I learned was that, God moves according to how we expect Him to move.. Another thing was to NOT! limit God!!!

I realised that I should just expect God to bring the results and I shouldn't Limit Him!
On that day God also spoke to me telling me that God would manifest His power the next day! True enough, on the next day ( yesterday/Tuesday) , my results were a miracle!!! I praised God and there was no regret trusting Him!

Well, Faith is needed.. Lets all let God be God! He is the God of this universe and He knows what He's doing! Miracles should be an everyday thing, so just trust in God, have faith!

And all my friends that have been praying for me, I wanna thank you! =D

God Bless!!! =D



Worship is not about the music, it's not about us at all!
Sunday, October 14, 2007

Well, today I was serving in superlife, and I learnt something.. The 1st service went smooth and good. I could even feel God's presence..

During worship, somethng caught my attention.. Out of all the Superlifers, I saw two boys lifting their hands and they were really worshipping God! They did not care what otheres thought of them.. Seek God and you will find Him!



The 2nd service wasn't very good.. We had some sound problems and it was quite messy. Ben Lee was leading worship but after awhile, something happened to his mike, Kenneth took over worship leading. God did this for a purpose, He spoke to everyone through Kenneth.. And it was that, worship isn't about the music, the people on stage or anything else! Its all about the one who gave his life!!! After hearing that message, we sang the heart of worship and at the end of the day I learnt that, it doesnt matter how the music sounds like! Worship is not about anything else other than Jesus!



Check out this song, ' It's all about Jesus ' . I think this song really tells us that worship is all about Jesus.


It's all about Jesus

It's all about Jesus
It's all about the way He changed our lives
It's all about Jesus
The power of His blood can't be denied
It's all about Jesus
It's all about the covenant He made
It's all about Jesus
Victorious He rose up from the grave
We lift our hearts to Him
He is the reason that we sing

Hallelujah,Hallelujah,Hallelujah
We praise Your Name
Hallelujah,Hallelujah,Hallelujah
We praise Your Name

So lets seek God with all our hearts!
Don't care about whose around you!
Cos' it's all about Jesus!

God Bless!

Fellowship

God created us for: Fellowship, Discipleship, Worship and Ministry.. 2 nights ago(Saturday night), at around 10.40 P.M, my sis told me to wake her up at 11.10 P.M. cos' she wanted to study (So hard working..)
I went to take a shower then slacked abit here and there to kill time..

I nearly fell asleep but decided to stay awake! I also set alarm on my phone in case I fell asleep..
I managed to stay awake till 11.10 P.M. and I went to wake my sister up.. When she woke up, she decided to carry on sleeping and study the next day.. Although at the end my efforts were not needed, I didn't feel angry or anything, cos' I felt that this is called Fellowship( I think).. The geatest commandment God made was to Love God and Love people, so this is one example..




Hearing the voice of God
Friday, October 5, 2007

Last Saturday, I was super worried about my exams and stuff.. On the next day I was suppose to share with the Superlifer's of how God spoke to me during worship and my vision for the Superlife ministry.. But, I never heard God speaking to me during worship before!

While worshipping in church on that Saturday, I kept on praying to God to help me with my exams and help me to score well.. As I was worshipping, I heard a voice saying: "Trust in me.."
I believed that it was God's voice.. So I prayed and asked Him to let me hear Him louder and awhile later, God spoke again and this time he said: " Son! Son! " I told God: "Speak LORD for Your servant is listening!"
God replied and said: " Everything will be fine!" After hearing this all my worries and fears left me.. I felt so refreshed!
I asked God, : " LORD, is there anything that you want me to tell the Superlifers tommorrow?"
God replied: " Tell them about my Love!"
So i obeyed God and on the next day tell the Superlifers about how God spoke to me during worship, a short story about God's Love and my vision for the Superlife ministry..

I'm sure that many of you guys out there reading this post are stressed because of exams of any other reasons.. God wants you to know that "Everything will be fine, just trust in the LORD!" Have Faith! After God spoke to me that day, for all the exam papers I did on the week after, I did not worry because God is with me!
Lastly, if you feel that God wants to tell you something, tell him: "Speak LORD for Your servant is listening!"

God Bless! =D
