Multiplication

Amen.. What an adventure over the past 7 months.
Frankly speaking, I love everyone in the cell group and to be honest, each and everyone of you mean so much to me. Especially the helpers and of cos Xiu and Angela.

The times we spend together on the battlefield, in the wilderness. It is scary and sometimes very discouraging, but still God came through for us. The very first day we met at Kenneth's place, to the meeting with Gabriel in Yong Xiu's room. These are things that I will never forget. When Gabriel asks us if we wanna give up or continue, the agreement and determination to hold on to the vision was visible and can be felt. When everyone of us said, we want to hold on, that was the start of a wild adventure with God.

Now, the vision is near to fulfillment. And we have to go our separate ways as two cell groups. But tgt with E149 and their EXXX, all together we have 4 cell groups that birthed from the vision given by Gabriel in the upper room then. Man.. I am blessed to be under such powerful leaders. Gabriel, Royston, Angela and Yong Xiu. And fought alongside great and powerful helpers. Ken, Jasmine, Xiao Yong. But I looking forward to the day when we fight alongside again. On two battlefronts to gain more land.

One cell group can fight only in one direction. Two cell groups, two directions. 4 cell groups, 4 directions. More directions, more land won for God. Really an encouragement from God that I have felt impressed in my heart.

Multiplication is the catalyst for growth in all areas.

Catalyst, noun.
a substance that increases the RATE of CHEMICAL REACTION without itself undergoing permanent chemical change.

figurative,
a person or event that precipitates an event. (precipitates: causes, send smth or someone into a particular state or condition)

Catalyst of Growth in:
1. quality.
all of us have to move up another level. To step into new responsibilities.
2. quantity.
We can be more focused on individual friends to integrate them.
3. capacity.
learn how to do more. learn how to handle more stuff.
and many others which applied in my own life.

But the word now is multiplication is the catalyst of growth.
I am blessed to say I have experienced two multiplications in my not-even-two years of my christian walk. We are living in revival man!!! No matter what the devil say about ourselves and what others say about us. What matters more still is what God says. I am living for Him today!!!

4 stages that a cell group can be in.

1. disbanding
2.stagnancy
3.growth
4. multiplication
We can be in stage 1 but it is up to our faith that leads us back into stage 4...
E431 has done it. Incredible, really glory to God and the honor be to Him.
But it is really not possible if not for Yong Xiu and Angela. And of cos to the members as well. They are really the heros of faith.

GX, which of the 4 stages you want?
I will take multiplication anytime. =)
Be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth.

Our Deepest Fear

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson

That is the light that the sermon on the mount speaks about.
To encourage others. Bringing common grace to the people around us. Problem solver

Move of God

Poster for

Hossana. Noun

Expression of joy, faith, adoration, praise.

Praise the Lord!!!...

Ytd was one of the best times i ever had. Called up Xianbi but his phone was engaged. Ended up he was trying to get me at the same time too. Haha. Den we had dinner tgt(frankly, u call that dinner, so unfulfilling.) But then we took the guitars up and started worshipping together.

There was no chords sheet in the room. Nor any rehearsal. Totally was from the flowing of the spirit. Praise God.

I remember we palyed in such a sequence.

Jesus,

Come Holy Spirit.

Holy and anointed one,

Jesus.

I want to sing,

Thank You.

Its a totally medley style of worship. Haha.. It was a mind-blowing experience. Praise the Lord...

Worship builds atmosphere.

Prayer builds miracles and deliverance. 

Fasting disciplines the flesh.

3-in-1 combo meal. Upsize the Word of God.

Woah.. Was listening to Pastor Phil's sermon.

The power of worship is that it creates an atmosphere.
The power of an atmosphere creates an attitude.
The power of attitude is that it gives us authority.
And the power of authority determines our altitude.

What kind of atmosphere we want to create.
Worship idols, evil atmosphere.
Worship God, God becomes my atmosphere.
Which is the centre of my life?

Build a Godly atmosphere!!!

Chinese

Man, I have been worshipping in chinese for the past few days... Truely God is multilingual!! hahaha.. Love Him!!!

Knowledge is good, wisdom is better.
Knowing is good, experiencing is better.
Being blessed is good, to bless is better.
Good is the worst enemy of best.

Praise God

Dwelling

As the deer pants for the water, so my soul it longs for You.

Your name is like honey on my lips. So sweet, so delicious, so precious.

Your Spirit like water to my soul. So satisfying, so refreshing, so cooling.

Your Word is a lamp unto my feet. So faithful, so encouraging, so loving.

God, I want more of You.

I can spend the whole night worshipping and dwelling in Your presence.

There is no where on earth like this.

No place can compare to the place that You visit.

I wanna stay.

I wanna stay here with You.

Dun leave me or forsake me.

Thats all that I pray.

I have nothing to give to You.

Just a life to live for You.

Use me again Lord.

I cry out to You!!!

Use me again Lord!!!

can you hear my voice?

Lord, whatever I am going through.

Use it for Your glory.

I will wait upon You.

Upon Your timing.

I will wait till You come.

I am serious about You.

I will seek till I find You.

I will not stop seeking You. 

You are hiding in a place where You know I would find You if I try.

You are beautiful, faithful and true.

You are the peace that guards my heart.

I love You, Lord.

You matter more to me than life itself.

Look at Your altar again.

Can You smell the sweet aroma as I climb back unto Your altar.

Offering You nothing but this life.

God, here I am.

All Yours...

Revival

I was reading an online magazine article on revival during lecture break and it is really a powerful article.

http://www.charismamag.com/display.php?id=10291

This article was talking about the majority of the American churches having a revival mindset but not experiencing revival. Proclaiming revival but instead churches there are stagnating and backsliding.

This is a
|John Knox prayed this prayer to God when he was in the hull of a french warship, taken prisoner. France and Scotland was in war then. And John Knox prayed this prayer. "God give me Scotland or I die!" He prayed desperately for 7 years!!! And then God moved. God only move through those who are desperate.

A passage in the article:
[A Chinese Christian recently visited the United States and toured churches here. At the end of the trip he was asked what he thought about American spirituality. He answered, "I am amazed at how much the church in America can accomplish without the Holy Spirit."
We have large buildings and many programs but still no move of God. We have more trained ministers and more Bible colleges than any other nation but no revival. We have seminars on revivals and huge campaigns to promote our meetings. But where is the revival?
We have spotless theology but no doxology. We have no song in our hearts. We have replaced true experience with hyperactivity. Our theologians sit in swivel chairs in ivory towers and hand out edicts to those down below.]

Man.. How much can we do without the Spirit of God? I am really pondering on this qns. All great man of God who depended on the Holy Spirit moved mightily and revivals broke forth.
Pastor Phil in Sydney, Australia. Pastor Benny Hinn in the whole world. Reinhard Bonnke in Africa. Pastor Ulf in Russia. And ultimately our very own Dr Rev. Kong Hee who brought forth a mighty move of God in the entire region. 

Institutional Revival starts with self-revival.

Institutional Revival sparks off national revival.

National Revival sparks off region.

Region sparks off continental

Continental sparks of global Revival

How to save the world?

The world is so big, what can I do.

There is a math fomula, theory

[It is a statistical fact that if a born-again believer commits 6 months to disciple a spiritually younger believer, who in turn spends 6 months to disciple another person, the whole world of 6 billion people could be reached in 16 years!]

Unbelievable but true. The world can be saved. 

We are living in Revival.

We hold the trumpet.

cool

Walking with God.

Amen, Hallelujah, Praise the Lord (Any resemblance to any person or incident IS INTENDED) haha.. Wow.. Today was a great day!!! (Everyday is, when we are walking with God.)

Today, I felt very impressed in my heart for the entire day about walking with God. I was listening to the song "At the Beginning" today (yes, Jasmine) and can't help but agreeing with the lyrics about our walk with God. Life is a road and I wanna keep moving.

Many times when we are on our way home, we often want to stay with our close friends for as long as we possibly can. To the extent that we are willing to send that person home and take a longer journey back home. However, when we are with friends that are not so close with us, sometimes we can't wait to get home! Or when we are too tired, we meet some friends that are not in our inner circle, we try to avoid them so that we can really have some rest (come on! dun act as if u didn't do it before. Hahaha) 

Really life is not about destination but the journey. But most of the time the journey is not about the journey itself but who is with you on the journey!!!... (Bulls eye!) And praise the Lord, we got the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords on this journey with us!!!

Man, I type the word "walk, God" and "Walk, Lord" into the keyword search in biblegateway.com and began reading the verse of Enoch. He has only a few verses to him, excluding those which talked about the family line. But man, he is an inspiration.

He lived for 365 years and out of that 365 years, he spent 300 years walking with God. What king of relationship is this man!!!.. It is just like the relationship of a close friend. God and Enoch just wanna dwell with one another as long as they could together. Until the point when God told Enoch,(Modern day singlish):"Hey Enoch, steady larz. Come my house ton. I want to stay with you as long as I can leiz." I wanna walk with God too. And not just brush across or in front or behind one another. But I wanna rub shoulders with Him, to be in His inner circle. That is where I wanna be. As close, as long as I could with Him. I wanna please Him like how Enoch did. Hebrews 11:5 said that before Enoch was taken away to be with God, he was commended as one who pleased God. 

God has said and promised in Leviticus 26:12, "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people." God said "will", He didn't say 'might',

'maybe', 'could-be', 'see first'. He said: "WILL" 

"If God promised it 

and I believe it,

that settles it."

The Bible also says in Micah 6:8

"He has showed you, O man, what is good

And what does the LORD require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy

and to WALK HUMBLY with your God."

What is good? Walking with Jesus everyday of course.

Every morning now, I would wake up and tell God: "its time for another adventure."

what exciting lives Christians live.

Haha.
