Our destiny in God

Bro isaiah told me yesterday night that today's sermon going to be very good. 2 weeks ago, Pastor Kong already say that he is going to preach a sermon that is going to bring us to the next level and in fact, a powerful sermon to start us off in Year 2006. As I was going to bed yesterday, I was already so excited and asked the Holy Spirit to reveal a little bit to me about what Pastor is going to preach...haha....

A few things that Pastor talked about that really make me mediate on the words. First: Poverty begins in the MIND and is a result of the STINKING THINKING OF MAN. Being poor does not just mean that you are being poor financially. But being poor really means that the way you think in life is going to affect the way that you fulfil the perfect will of God. A man's life will remain the same, even after stepping out in faith to the respond to the altar call. I like what Pastor Derek taught during the bible study. Salvation does not end at responding and saying the sinners prayer. Thats is the just the beginning, not the end. To live a fulfilling life in God and for God, it is important that mindset be changed and thinking be renewed. Remember what Jesus says? We do not be conformed to the world but be transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.

Second: We existed in God's mind way even before we are formed in our mother's womb. That means that even before our parents have met each other, God has already even thought of us, planned our destiny and given us a purpose and calling in life. There is no such thing as reincarnation. Haahaa...imagine those myths that we heard in our growing up days, of what our previous life is, and what we do in this life is going to affect what our next life will be...haha... so drama mama... channel 8 serial... keke... Deja Vu.. when the Holy Spirit takes me temporarily out of the parenthese of eterity and let us have a glimpse of the eternity that God has set in our hearts. How to experience Deja Vu is not through works, but purely by relying on our closely intertwined relationship with the Holy Spirit to bring us there. So the next time I seem to experience a place that I seem to have been there somewhere before, I know and I know that God is showing me a glimpse of the eternity, or the future that He has set for me, and am I walking in the right path. THE PATH OF THE JUST WILL SHINE EVER BRIGHTER. And just mean to be in righteousness~

In conclusion, I am a product of eternity..what I am doing on earth is just a replica or even slight indication of what I am going to do in the eternity. I want to receive and live according to the holy calling of God. I need the spirit of GRACE from God. The spirit of Grace enables me to truly fulfill the holy calling and destiny.

I am truly blessed by the message. Its time for me to start to seek God and set my priorities right for the new year. To start the year right with the right attitude. My spiritual goals: To be more spiritual in 2006. To hear from God and receive rhema from Him daily. To be able to apply all the biblical and spiritual principles in my life and changed to be CHRISTLIKE! Thats my goal. I must achieve it! Holy Spirit I need You!

Thank you Pastor Kong, for preaching so hard today to bring us such a great sermon. I love City Harvest Church, I love Pastor Kong and Sun. I love the Holy Spirit and above all, I love Jesus Christ!

the SUN is out after so many days of pouring and cold cold days!!!!!



For once i really love the sun....... cos the wetness in the air is cleared and even the air smells different!



hahaha....not kua-zhang leh.... cos everyday in office is like staying in a freezer like that...and when i reach home...its still so cold...almost got to wear scarves and gloves liaoz....hahaha....




The temperature is really just nice.....a bit sunny but yet still windy.....dun feel so humid... :p



2 more weeks to CNY ....hmm...OMG! Haven go shop ard to buy CNY clothings leh.... hmm... must really try to squeeze a night out next week man... looking forward to CNY....not because of the goodies ....but cos got 2 days to rest! haha.... not that I am lazy lar...but really public holidays are good time to rest...cos past few months and weeks been so busy...everyday is like fighting a battle and rushing for the next train...so..... i really need to sleep in..so...2 more weeks...the public holidays...Hiphip hooray!

a NEW year, NEW resolutions, new DREAMS! ~~

wolalala....haha...i am back...yesh..today after sis kless and xuan reminded that i have "backsliden from my blog, then i realise haha..so long i have never come and leave a trace of my footsteps here laiox... lolx! haha...okokie.i repent and I recommit myself back to blogging once again... haha :-)

Indeed, year 2005 has been a year full of many ups and of course, many downs for me as well. Went through many things, learnt many things, seen many things as well. But all in all, just want to thank God that He has pulled me through, and walked me through the last 12 months. If God was not my source of Strength, I could not imagine what life would have been like for me....wow seh...i guess only my dear dear knows what I meant...:p

anyway, like what Pastor Kong preached 2 weeks ago, I do not want to be like Lot's wife i.e. not to look back at year 2005 and lament what I could have done. Instead, I tell myself, whatever I did not achieve in year 2005, I will make it happen in year 2006 ^-^ I am sure it is not going to be easy. But anyway, no one ever say life is easy lor... and without problems and trials, probably u are not living on planet earth?

Today Bro Isaiah called for a meeting at Suntec office for a time of sharing of the vision for the cellgroup as well as for our own individual life. I was filled with expectancy really the whole day...wondering what was he going to share. Frankly, I have not really started to pray and ask God for His vision for the cellgroup and my own visions for this coming year...only have very vague ideas... must and am going to seriously come before the Lord soon this week to pray and seek Him. Anyway, something that Bro Isaiah strike me hard in the face. An extract of his sharing:

Like the Roman empire in the roman empire days, when the Roman armies went to conquer a land, they bring in their culture, their food, their beliefs and everything and convert the people. Why they do not kill all the people in that land and bring in their own armies? Firstly, they gain the respect of the people there and win them over to their side. Secondly, they do not weaken their base by sending their troops to occupy the new land and their base become weaken.

wow.... ya... so true isn't it? We have been learning all the time about being a conqueror, be a light in the marketplace. Wherever we go, whereever we earn our bread and butter, that is our land to conquer and thats is where we should shine like stars! Why should we let the cares of the world influence us? Why should we let our colleagues and friends in the world corrupt our thinking? Has not the bible already told us very clearly that we should go all out and bring the people into the Kingdom of God? Yes, to build the kingdom of God is not a one man's dream or one man's business. Its you and I and everyone who is a CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ! Do not let yourself be corrupted and won over by the world. Instead, win the world for Christ!

Then Sis Kless also shared something very profound. She said despite everyone of us having our own problems, we need to start to learn to put God's problems above our own problems. When we can learn to put God's problems first, and we try to Solve His problems, God naturally takes care of our problems. Its a simple truth, but I will say not many people can grapple with this truth. WHy? Cos human beings are not able to exercise that element in them called "FAITH". People often blame God for their problems, blame the people around them for not understanding them, blame the society, blame this and that...but never point the fingers at themselves. Ever stop to think, if you can stop and ponder why,prob u can find the answer. AS YOU BUILD GOD'S HOUSE, GOD WILL BUILD YOUR HOUSE. amen!!!! The world is still spining. So come on, make full use of the time that you have on this earth!
