Many asked why the nick on msn...
"Finding a need to meet, finding a hurt to heal"
As easy as is said, it takes a lot of love and patience to do there. Ain't it true?
Will you still love when the person is not easy to? Will you still forgive if he/she seemed to have flaws that you can't take? How about this... Will you still love if he/she betrays you or cheated you time and time again?
As a human, its not easy.
I was just asking God on my way back from the tuition trip on Mon. Refering to a person I met recently... someone I find not easy to love. How to love when I don't know how to love... On the other hand, I was apprehensive of becoming loveless.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of Apostle John as my eyes fell on his name written on the bible. Recalling that he used to be known as the son of thunder, with terrible temper and great impatience. What made him become the Apostle of LOVE in the end? The answer shocked me. It was his encounter with Jesus.
He must have seen how Jesus loves and he himself was touched.
He must have seenthe way He forgave the adulterer, Mary Magdalene.
He must have seen the way He reached out his hand to touch and heal the leper when touching him means more than healing but acceptance.
He must have seen the way He forgives Peter for denying Him 3 times.
He must have seen Him washing the feet of the disciples including the one who have betrayed Him.
He must have seen His compassion for the lost and the weary.
He must have seen all these....
He must have seen Jesus choosing the cross.
How to make disciples?
Matt28:19-20. They must have all seen it, that was why they had decided to lay down the life for this course. All the 12 disciples laid down their life. Peter was crucified upside down. Paul, though not one of the 12, was persecuted to the very end; was beheaded. Stephen stoned to death. James the Less and his brother were beheaded for the gospel sake. Philip was imprisioned and crucified. Bartholomew was cruelly tortured and crucified. Luke was hung on a tree in Greece. Andrew was crucified. James (the Great) was thrown into a pot of hot oil and killed. Thomas was killed by the pagan priests using a spear.
No longer I but Christ in me. Gal 2:20

Smiles
Yes! I was awaken by the still small voice and its time to go to play for Jing's CG. What an honour to be able to help. Hahah..what's the song? Elevate Your name and the God I know. Interesting attempt to play the new praise song because I am not very familiarized with 16 chords. I didn't take a lot of time to practise because I reach home quite late yesterday. Just want to thank God, i know this is not a coincidence. It's quite funny why God always like to choose the base things of the world to put to shame those things that are mighty.
As I was on my way to Jing's CG, something just thugs at my heart. I want to love God more. Really..
I need to His love to fill my love tank. Patience, love. I need to love more. Love love love. Without Love I am nothing. God is love..
Looking at this past one year, its really the best year so far.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation...
Thank God It’s Friday!! =) Smiles. It has been a tremendous week.
This week went through really fast, without knowing its 7 days more to Asia Conference! It’s just next week. 7 more days to the end of the fast, come guys we can do it. The last lap! I am expecting God to move. Our friends will be integrated, discipled!! CWDS & Eunos revival! CG members moving to the next level~!
The highlight of this week is actually the bible study (bs). During the bs, I was reminded of how I used to be so afraid of sharing offering messages, afraid of leading testimony. I was always lost for words. I could still recall how I blanked out even in sharing offering messages. Then I started to remember how bad I was at giving presentation in school when my peers could do it even without lifting an eye lid. To tell the truth, I never like the idea of public speaking.
In the bible study, as we were all practicing moving in the gifts of the HS, Bro Bob move in the word of wisdom. He asked if there are any of us who are afraid of public speaking. He said “You blanked out and forgot what you want to say. Today, God wants to deliver you from the fear of public speaking, right here right now. If that’s you, lift up your hands. Man… I lifted up my hand, thinking could it be me? But I thought to myself, I thought I had already overcome that fear since nowadays I am better at speaking publicly? But why do I keep recalling all these moments when Bro bob was sharing bs. So I lifted up my hands. He began to bind the devil. Man… I felt the presence of God. Bro bob said “God is moving in your life. The next time when you begin to speak, something different is going to happen. God is going to speak through you.” Wow!
After everything, I went to talk to Bro Bob. I spoke to him about my experience. He said “So that was you la!! =)”
Smiles. Thank God for discerning leaders... Wow. I am so blessed so so so blessed by the Word.
Prior bs, I was pretty much discouraged. But God is faithful even when I am faithless. He never fails.
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, light unto my path.
Bro Bob also shared about having the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We need it more than anything else. He shared with us how he used to run from school to the bus stop the moment the school bell rang and to the bus stop to board the first bus to the library. Then he will search for the book titled “The Holy Spirit” and he will spend hours reading. After which he will bookmark it and hide it underneath the shelf. He got addicted, addicted to the presence of the Holy Spirit. He used to be a very stonge Buddhist. He was so devoted that he went to temple every week, guess he was already up to be promoted to be a priest of the temple. Until one day, he was invited to a CG, the presence of God came. He didn’t know that was the presence of God. He cried and cried. When the altar call was given by Pst Kong, he responded. God gave us emotion so that we can feel Him. Holy Spirit too, has emotions. Because of emotion, he didn’t care much about the consequences. I mean after which the persecution came rolling in non stop.
I need the Holy Spirit. You need Him too. He is all that we need, all that I desire. Holy Spirit impresses silently on your heart. He hears your thought. I want to know Him more. Do you? =) When He walks in, you can sense His presence. He is likened the wind. His presence drowns out all the worries, the negative thoughts, the criticism, the discouragement because He is peace. He is love and He gives us sound mind. Thank you Lord.

I am the seed
Time to focus..
FOCUS on YOU.
Things are easier.
If I am the One talent, I will sow into Your ground.
I want to change and transform your people one by one.
Starting from Zhi Wen.
If Pst Abraham can do it with his one talent and his raw faith built on cultural mandate and caring system, I can do it too..

If the people in Bangalore can train up 2000 IT literates, causing the entire city's 2% population to be upgraded using just 2 old PCs. What can I do?
If the people in China can pray so seriously, and received miracles instantaneously, what more can I do?

I have one life to live, one life for Jesus.
Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
I believe in the Power of Your name
I believe in the promise of Faith
I believe in the love of a God
Jesus, my Savior
I believe, I believe..
Speaking to the mountain

In Your authority given to me
No matter what happens

The Word
The Word is good. Whatever I have thinking about, talking about came forth in the Word. I stood in amazed.Pastor shared the Word which Fen and I were talking about on Tuesday. Sonship & Hiring. A son don't need to be told, a servant needs to. A son takes ownership, a hirer goes away when his job his done. A son looks after the sheep and defends the sheep, a hirer runs away when the enemy comes to attack the sheep.
"Whatever I see the Father do, I will do." That was what something God shared with me during the week.. And when the very same verse came forth from Pastor's speech, he mentioned "This is the point that we die to our selfishness" The dream that I had a few weeks back flashed back into my mind's. God was refering to this. Wow.. I stood amazed.
Whatever I see my spiritual Father do, I will do also. If he loves to pray, then I will loveto pray. If he builds his life on sacrifice, then I will do the same. If he loves the lost so fervently, equally will I do. If he is a man of excellence, then I will be the woman of excellence. Whatever He wills to do, he wills to do and I will to do. =)
