Altar before the Lord

Wow.. Today's prayer meet at the Riverwalk with Gabriel was powerful and glorious. Man.. I need to lay my life upon his altar. I need to 'Re-centre" my life around to put God in the centre of my life once again. I need to rebuild my life around Him now. Thank God for the house-keeping session. Also the wonderful presence of God there. I want to set a conviction from now on, that wherever God is, I will be there too. Really have written some of them down. And this will be my directions in terms of ministry. God when i do all these, it is because I love You. No other reasons. You know my heart. Search my heart tonight
.
Take all of me, for all of You.
1. My media related talents.
Really want to serve God with videography and photography. To bring the message of the cross through creative means.
.
2. Rise up as a guitarist.
I really want to be God's instrument for His presence to be enhanced and can flow thru the music I play.
.
3.Be a better shepherd.
Jesus told Peter to tend to His sheeps. Jesus is the great shepherd, I want to be more like Him.
.
4. Communication skills.
Balance is the key to life, Communications is the key to relationships. There is almost nothing more important in a relationship than communication. Really pray for a greater annointing in communicating.

Think with your head. Feel with your heart.

Think with your head, not your heart.

Feel with your heart, not your head.

Don't be confused between the two.

This quotes are from Pastor Phil's Leadership files email that was sent this week. And I felt that this is often so true in life.

So many times in life we get confused between the two. We do things based on our emotions and not through our logical and intellectual means. And sometimes, we feel too mechanical, as if there is a set of rules of how should we feel imprinted in our minds.

When we do things based on emotions, we become very unstable and inconsistent. Because our emotions are also unstable. Life would be like a roller-coster ride. Sometimes going up, and sometimes plunging steeply and suddenly. When we go through life and think with our heads and not heart, the picture gets so much clearer. Its like what the Bible says in Job 15:11-13(the message bible)

Are God's promises not enough for you,

spoken so gently and tenderly?

Why do you let your emotions take over,

lashing out and spitting fire,

Pitting your whole being against God

by letting words like this come out of your mouth?

God promises are always good. His promises to Job are always enough for Job. But when Job is being led by his emotions(as you can rad in the earlier Chapters when he is quarelling with Eliphaz.) he begin to complain about his life and hate his life. Then Eliphaz rebuked Job with the verse above in red. Friends, so many times we get too emotional in our thinking that we often forget the good points and the positives of the situation. JOb is decieving himself at that moment and the Bible says in Proverbs that the greates fool is one who deceives himself.

Feel with your heart, not your head.

Second part of the quote of Pastor Phil is that we gotta feel with our hearts and not our heads. God has given us feelings for only one reason: "TO FEEL!!!" There is nothing to be shameful about feelings. Some people that we know says that they love God. Some says I know God loves me. That is so intellectual feeling. God wants u to feel loved, not to know that u are loved. It is not enough just to have a dad and u know that he loves u. You would expect him to express his love right? A hug, a gift or even just a plain nice conversation. Our heavenly Father is the same. He want us to feel Him, and His love. It is not good enough to just know that God is everywhere, closer to us than our very breathe. But we need to feel Him everywhere, feel that He is closer to our very breathe. Another Example would be the wind. If u are very hot, would it be enough just to know that the wind would take away the heat? No way. Kenneth always emphasises on this: "knowing is one thing, experiencing is another." we gotta really break out of the imaginary God we have in the MIND, and start experiencing the Jesus living in our HEART. Thats why when we responded to the altar call, we invite Jesus into our hearts, not our heads.

.

And of cos the last part, and most important part: Please don't be confused between the two.

The late Dr Edwin Loius Cole says that

A child feels, acts den thinks.

A youth acts, feels, den thinks.

But a mature person thinks, acts den he feels.

Dun mix up the process. Be a matured person.

Dr Cole also added that We can be young only once, but maturity will always be with us till we go back into heaven.

.
So I pray that E431 would be a cell group that really Thinks with our Heads, not our hearts. And Feels with our hearts and not our Heads. Amen!!!

Take Off My Shoes

I’ll take off my shoes, I’m coming in,
Untie this rope, I’m staying with him,
Love of my life, I’ll live and die,
Just for the moments for my king and I.
.
.
Why did you call, why did you wait,
For someone so guilty, someone so fake.
There are no words for my beautiful song,
Now I’m in the arms of my beautiful one.
.
.
Hold me, blow all the pride from my bones,
With your fire.
Hold me, breathe on this heart made of stone,
Keep it pure.
Hold me, saviour of heaven and earth,
King forever.
Hold me, love of my life lead me on,
Through the fire, lead me on...
.
.
I’ll take off this crown and fall at your feet,
The secret of joy are the moments we meet.
How could a man with all of your fame,
Pull me from darkness and call me by name.
.
.
So hold me today, as I carry your cross,
Into the desert to find who is lost.
Look at my hands, they’re still full of faith,
God keep them clean till we finish the race.

Gratitude

Gratitude Is The

Gift You Give To Those

Who

Reached Out And

Changed

Your Life.

“And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks.” Luke 17:15-19 (NKJV)

Openly acknowledging Jesus of Nazareth as the Lamb of God, the hoped-for Messiah, John the Baptist was grateful for the role God gave him, exceedingly thankful, even as his own ministry began to decrease, while Christ’s would exponentially increase! Jealousy would have no part within this divine connection that set the stage for God’s greatest Gift to all mankind.

Perhaps more than any other man in all of Scripture, David also understood gratitude. In Psalm 119, David penned, “I will thank You by living as I should.” You and I cannot repay God for what He does for us. There is nothing we can do to return all God bestows upon our lives except to be grateful. Gratitude, however, is different than repayment. We live for God out of gratitude for what He does for us. There is no greater way to express our reverence to God than to possess a heart of gratitude.

Our reverence toward God and His Word is not a form of repayment; it is the proof that we recognize we owe Him our very lives. Please carefully consider these three questions:
Is it too costly for you to be thankful?

What are the things for which you are thankful?
Like David, why not thank the Lord by living as you should?
Let me remind you of the words of the Apostle Paul, “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind He will accept. When you think of what He has done for you, is this too much to ask?”

Fellowship

Wow!!! After working for a week at Giordano, was really really tired and worn out. Late nights and early mornings are really a norm now.

Hehe, btw i met up with Chuen Heng on monday and fellowshipped wit him and seyan at TM. Can u believe it? They actually sold KAYA ICE-KACHANG. Thats super disgusting. Then didn't know how or why, we actually saw Jasmine and Mei Juan. We ended up eating at the food court and afterwhich we went to Toys'R'Us and started playing there. Jasmines kept playing the hola hoops for dunno why. And she looks super funny while doing that. Mei Juan ended up also playing the hola hoops. Hahaha... Meanwhile, myself, Chuen Heng and Seyen were busy playing the latest sport that was created. The Cum-Cum game! Why is it called cum-cum game? Because its volleyball-cum-basketcall-cum-soccer-cum-takraw that is played with a super light ball.

shall blog till here. cos too tired after work. gotta go. pls tag man

God's best for me.

Hallelujah!!! Praise God for such an impactful weekend. Truely the people around u will be the best mirror in your life. Man... I really gotta thank God for people like Yong Xiu, Sheila, Jaslyn Chuen Heng, Jun Yong, Natalie, Jin Liang, Hui Shan and Paul in my life.

Iron sharpens iron, and when we are being put through the moulding, man, will it not hurt?
Even right now as i type this blog, still feel quite insecured in myself. Will I make the same mistake again? Pray not, For my God is a faithful God. Truely "Pride comes before a fall." The Bible also says "those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Man! was too ya-ya for the past few weeks or months.

Pride comes before a fall. I know about that verse ever since I was in church for 2 months. I knew it for 13 months already. Yet, i totally fell into pride unknowingly. Gotta medidate upon the word. Jesus says dun be just a hearer of the word but a doer. Yup.. HEARER, not even LISENER. Haiz, truely pride is the first sin in history. Was so so so convicted by Pst Tan's preaching. "You either bring hell on earth or a foretaste of heaven on earth."

Its time for a renewed mindset. Change it around, change it around. My whole life needs to be rewritten down and planed for urgently. State priorities.

But I really really want to comment on the Bedok North people. You guys rock! God is just so good to me. I dun deserve such good people like you. You people are the best warriors a general could ever bring onto the battlefield.

Lastly, I really want to thank God for His goodness and mercy. Without Him, who am I? Just another holigan on the streets. Remember telling the Beok North people this, "All I need you to do is to love God." But i feel very strongly, that is for ME!!! Hahaha... God i love you. It will always be difficult to stand up again after fall. But i am going to stand up again. Its difficult, until tdy. I know its gonna take time. But God says
"My grace is sufficient for you."
Hallelujah!!!

Prophesy

Prohesy, prophesy. Prohesy, prophesy,Prophesy to the dry bone

I see the earth turning towards Heaven, I see broken dreams coming to past

I hear the sound of a celebration

As the Lame man walks, The angels talk

I'm carrying a message from my risen Lord.

Speak to the mountains and they will humble themselves,

Nothing is impossible

Stand on the promise He made,With a heart full of faith

Nothing is Impossible

Shine like a light in the dark and the cities will turn

Nothing is impossible

Now is the hour to rise, With His power at hand

nothing is impossible...

WE'RE LIVING IN REVIVAL…

Bedok North, can u see what i am seeing.
