Today is a fruitful day, full of praises to God and dwelling. Today we have 8 believers coming together to worship God and dwell in the presence of God! The topic of CG today is "Dwelling of God". It is indeed! It started off with bible verses crossword puzzle! I am the game master and I am of much satisfactory because Donald was challenged!!! Wahaha!! I'm glad at least this game benefits everybody including my leader ^_^! The interactive process took place for about 20 mins. Kinda longer than expected. Praise & Worship and prayers are followed then, as we all dwell into God's presence in the anointed song "My Heart Your Home". Today finally I understand why is it "My Heart God's Home". It is to set our heart so that God comes in.
Today we shared very powerful and strong testimonies, testifying the glorious name of God! It is witnessed that many brothers and sisters in our caregroup already loved God so much and already marching towards God's vision. Thank God for moving us like the wave in the big ocean!! Amen! Follow by the end of Care Group!
But the sharing session about the Glory of God has not ended yet! We headed to subway at AMK Hub for lunch and to my surprise, the children of God continue to share about how great is our God in our lives. We kept sharing with enthusiasm until sister got to leave to meet Lynn. I tell you.. it's WOW!! We really dwell into God's presence! Today my heart is renewed once again!!
This is my personal time with God. God is humorous. You know during on my way home from AMK Hub, I promised to spend more time with God today. As I walk home, I am tempted again. I saw some thai boxing boys training at a nearby "badminton court". It tempts me to go and look. But God is faithful, He brought me home straight, leading me away from temptation. >.<>, buy the pen and pencil, buy 3 notebooks and a file and store all of them inside. Bring this file wherever you go so that you can write anytime." and I went. I got the pen, pencil, 3 notebooks and a file exactly like the picture I have in my mind during the prayer. The hair on my face goosebumps!! I name the 3 books, "Book Of Blessings" & "Book Of Repentance" & "Book Of Visions". =D I'm happy that I grew closer with God tonight. This is quite a long post huh? Lolx!! I will again randomly close this blog. God is faithful! Amen!!

Spiritual Growth
Wow today God really bless and touch my heart. 16th Jan 2009, I took my off day and I rest at home with God. I missed the meeting with Bao Ren so therefore plenty of time spent with God. Early in the morning I woke up and felt my heart closed. I am dead worried. I sat before this screen and watch several online sermons by Paul Washer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuabITeO4l8
This sermon really helps me in understanding the faith of salvation. I cried 4 times during this 1 hour sermon. It really saddened me when I realize how ungrateful men are. Jesus died on the cross bearing our sins and His blood cleanses us, yet we treat this precious blood like pig's blood. Many christians certainly neglected the basic foundation of faith. We should not take it lightly when our Lord die on the cross for us, the pain and torment He alone went through for us. So that we may be saved and be blameless before the Heavenly Father. He also speak about the meaning of entering the Narrow Gate in Matthew 7. Take some time to watch this sermon yeah? =) It is helpful.
I learned that I am a sinner and God love me as sinner. He knows I am weak. I should not let guilt of repeated repentence hinder me from reaching to God. Because to be saved is not to say the sinner's prayer once and repent once but to continue repenting of ourselves. Because we will definitely sin tomorrow. As long as we are conscious, temptations are around us. Sin may or may not be known to us. Since we are weak, we ought to seek God's power and blessings of strength to fight against temptation in our lives. Temptations will cloud our sight to the Truth. Therefore we need God to renew us and put us back on the right track when we drift away. Never be ashame to seek God's strengthening when we sin against God. God knows we are going to sin and that is why the more we must seek his strength as a weak man. But it doesn't mean we don't make effort to avoid and resist to sin. Beware and be known of God's wrath! God love the good therefore He hate the evil.
The prayer meet followed at 7pm ++ is awesome! Pastors were excellent! Anointed by God! I feel more connected with God through this prayer meet. I am even more convinced that I am strengthened because Jesus love me. This sentence spoken by one of the pastors kept repeating itself in my mind. It says: "Let's not try to be positive by ourselves but fix our eyes on Jesus." I know how tiring it is to keep myself up to God's standard in my spiritual life by my own effort. But I learned the true way of being godly and holy is to love God. Love God and everything I do shall be motivated by His love. I enjoyed the dancing, jumping and hands raising to God as though God is going to pull me up to heaven anytime. =D
Thank God for the day! It was great. I cannot imagine my day without God and how dull and moody I will be. When God is alive in me, I am never empty, I am never hollow. I am filled with his Spirit and bearing the fruits of spirit. Love, joy and peace.

Barriers
God is with us not by our feeling, but by His promises and Words.
It is not God who has left us, but our sin which harden our heart and closed to God.
How easy or how difficult it is to have the true heart of repentance?
How humble are we to be quick in repentance?
The heaven rejoice more when a sinner repent than a righteous who do not need to repent.
God love us as who we are, a sinner, so do not let guilt mask us from seeking God.
We can never hide ourselves from God. We are to account to Him at the end of the day. So why bother trying?
Let's be real to God. Speak in honesty and live in Truth.

It's been a long time
Woah~ It's been a long time since I blogged. Did you think that I might have already grown tired of Jesus? I tell you the truth... NO!!!! NO!! NO! NO!!! It's been so exciting all these while! There are times when I'm down, and Jesus really is here to encourage me and lift up my spirit! He never leave me no matter how self-centered I have become emotionally. God is with me...
Today we had CG picnic together! Though it didn't go after a good planning, it is still enjoyable because God is among us! Amen! Thank God for such a blessed day! And today God wanna push me to be self-less through Donald and more. I am commanded to approach a group of strangers, with guys and ladies, to bless them with the food prepared extra due to members who were busy. Seriously, looking at the amount of ladies in that group, I shrunk. I panicked. What a joke huh!? Jian Feng were to be my companion in this "mission". Courage from God is with me, so I did approach but unfortunately, were rejected. At this time, instead of returning to my bros and sis, God encouraged me to carry on approaching others. God is faithful, and the next two groups we approach accepted our offer. Praise God!!
We're going back to vivo for dinner already. And then, I realized my phone was missing and it was with Eilton, who left early for appointment. So instead of dinning with caregroup, I dined with Donald at toa payoh KFC after getting my phone from Eilton. It is very enjoyable with Donald talking about how great our God is and His blessings for our caregroup! Fellowship is of such great joy!
I took bus 88 home from Toa Payoh and during the journey......... guess what? My slipper broke!! I imagine how embarrass it would be if I were to walk home from the bus stop bare-footed. I prayed. Again there is a challenge to alight at amk station and walk back home bare footed. Do u think it's stupid and crazy? I think it is! But I am also a crazy person! God knows me and how to encourage and inspire me! So I alighted at amk station and walk back. At the same time, when God put me into test, He is with me. I am on phone with my Great Shepherd, Richard, and God impressed upon my heart to account to him whatever I have missed. So I took up the courage God gave me and I did. After which, I felt restored and strengthened in Christ. My faith raised. My relationship with God improved. The peace in my heart conquered me. God satisfys me. Thank God for today! It is a fruitful day and full of tests! But with God, I am most encouraged! Amen!
God, if it is your will, let Richard be my account manager forever. I pray in Jesus' name and in obedience. Amen! Thank God for Richard!

Dedication to my Shepherd
I thank God for this brother and shepherd. His love shows me Jesus' love. I am so affirmed that Jesus lives in us. He is the inspiration to bring my heart to God. Learning his life is a great testimony of our living God, who loves us, changes us and never short-change us for what we gave to Him. Bro knows magic, not the magic tricks he entertains us with, but by the words spoken out of love. "I am your spiritual brother." he said to me. What comfort in Jesus! My life with Jesus begins through him in Christ and the magical and powerful word God put in him.
But I don't think he will see this post any sooner? He is too busy to come online I think? I just wanna say that a thousand thanks can't express my appreciation for him. He is God's messenger to me, and a microwave oven for my heart. A vacuum for my thoughts. A vase for my experience with God. A vase because it is used to store and sustain flowers(my spiritual life). I love you shepherd! But sorry I gotta make you lose face abit. Please scroll down...

The Pain
God. Thank you for being my God. Thank you for always be there when I turn to you. Thank you for being always so strong to back me up when I am weak and in need of you. Whenever in your presence, it is holy, peaceful, joyful, powerful, victorious and fearful. But Lord.. It's painful.. especially tonight and I don't know why. Lord I learn to trust in You, your plan and your timing for my brother. But still I'm so sorry that brother is still living his life apart from you, breaking your heart with his sins and remain unbelieved. I teared in my apology my Lord, on behalf of this brother. Tonight, I am still shedding and this will continue for the reason that brother still remain unsaved. I pray for the day brother to be with me and Richard as a family of Yours. How much I wish brother to feel the love we have for him especially Yours. Lord... Please save him and don't let him die, please don't let us lost him, as I selfishly plead to you to enable brother in Christ and give him a room in your kingdom, I know the truth is that you are more hurt than anyone else. Everytime I pray, I also teared. It never stop. Brother is very dearly to me, just as Richard. As I remember your love, grace and teachings, I kept myself holy and the desire to make myself more holy, only hoping for your blessings. The more the devil hit me, the more I seek for you, my Lord. You promised the day will come when the devil will be crushed under our feet. By then, allow me to contribute with a "small kick" but with all my strength! I know you will never let me go, for this reason I will never let go of you too. I believe in you God. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Words of Edison
Woah been quite some time since I last blogged! Today I wanna share two things. 1) Thanks to my Sir 2) Sharing of Words of Edison. First of all, I want to thank God for my CMO Dr Tan, who plays a big role in encouraging me to do evangelism. It's a blessing to get to know Dr Tan even though he is about to retire in a month's time, I thank God that I get to know him. He is super kind! I pray that for the last few weeks with Dr Tan would be fruitful in fellowship.
I just going to type out what I have wrote in office during my free-time. It's some journal/message to the Lord Jesus Christ. Here it goes in chronological order, but date will be omitted.. becuz it's forgotten =X
Dear Jesus,
I am sorry Lord. It is for my sin, you died on the cross. Yet even today, sin still bring you away from me. You still love me everytime I repent. You always forgive me and be with me. I know that I am not alone when you are my living God. You put your hand on my shoulder, said to me and show me the way to love. You promised to be there for me everytime. As I walk on this earth, I keep your promises to my heart and remind myself about it all the time. Hoping to see you, I kept dearly of your commandments. Everytime I work, I cry for you, for you are my strength to accomplishments. You have set your plans ahead of me. I shall walk in no fear but giving my trust and faith to you. What is it that I can do for you Jesus? For you are the almighty God who needs no fillings from your creation. All I can give is as little as my life. Lord Jesus I cry for you to take my life. I surrender my life, deny myself, to work for your glory in heaven. O'Yes whenever I llook up into the sky, I see your fading image in my heart and you would look down at me and comfort me in your love. I am forever secured in your hand Jesus.
Love,
Ebenezer
Child of God
Dear Father,
My lovely father... Thank You for taking your child to Heaven. I am loved because the Father has loved me. As I love the Father, Father's love is with me. What is more joyful than being loved by Father? The urge in me drive me to Him, lying on Him in sober. Nothing could be better than this! I promise to be as obedient but the devil is always closer and working around the corner. I cry to Father knowing that the day will come when the devil will be crushed under my feet. Woe to him who separate Father and me, bringing deceptions, distractions and disillusion to me. One day when the child is called upon to Heaven, the deal will finally lost hold of the child. And there will only be love, joy, peace and eternity.
I ask of Father how should I overcome the hardship on this temple. I pray for peace to come on the day I have to leave this body, by force or by nature.
I wish I could do more and in partnership more with my Father. Fellowshipping with Father. He is more than a Father. He is the Saviour, Redeemer, Lord, King, Brother, Friend and Shepherd. He lives in every love. Praise to my Glorious Father in Heaven, who will bless us in more than 6,000 spiritual blessings and grace, peace and love. Amen!

The faith, great faith that come from Lord's undying love. What joy to be in you, O'Lord.

Our redeemer, our Saviour, our King. You are a great King because you laid your life for the nation, which could be part of your Kingdom. O'Lord come may your spirit dwell among us and make us love in Christ. For your love is perfect... so pure. Let me dwell into yours all. Your purity, your love, your faithfulness and your righteousness.
