Prophesy for NEB

Isaiah 40:30-31 (New International Version)

30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

This was a prophesy made upon NEB during their prayer meet today.

God gave both Sunny and I the same vision of an eagle: NEB and its members to be the eagle that will soar high on its wings. The future of NEB is bright. Revival shall arrive. Breakthroughs will manifest in every corners of the group. Believers- young and old will receive a tangible touch from God and many will take up the call to serve the Lord.

God's blessings fall on those whose hearts are for Him, those who are fully committed to God in love and obedience. Let me first lift up my hand and say "Here I am Lord, use me!".

Let God's rain of abundant blessings shower upon everyone in Northeast. All for Jesus! :D

Is Jesus hard to love? Not at all. On the contrary...

Deu 6:4-6

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.

These coming few weeks are gonna be packed with projects and assignments. Remind me Lord never to become too busy not to pray. Nowadays I have cultivated the habit of beginning the day with God. Every morning I will commit the day to God, praying that I will walk with Him throughout the day. I pray that I will make godly decisions and that through how I do my life during the day I can bear witness to His name.

I am glad that I have took up the One-Day challenge posed by Shirley a few weeks ago. I realized that I have been more sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit nowadays and I have become more aware and mindful of my own motives, thoughts and emotions wherever I am, especially at home since I often take things for granted.

In my Christian walk for the past few years I've seen quite a number of people who either abandon their Christian growth or even their faith as a whole. Frankly speaking as much as I don't want to follow their foot steps, I know better than anyone else how fallible I can be if I don't take good care of my own spiritual life.

One of my greatest fears in life (besides cockroaches and balloons) is that I will lose my fervent and love for God as I grow older (spiritually and physically). Christianity is not a CCA to me and it shall never become one. God knows my heart... The more I know Him, the more I want to love Him. I want to love Him till the last drop of my breath. God is the First Love of my life and He will always remain to be so. In my youth I praise Him with all I have, and in my graying years I shall remain doing so- praising and dancing with immerse joy for all that He has done.

Two elements which I know are keys to my spiritual longevity:
1) Continuous walk and experience with God
2) A heart of thanksgiving and gratefulness

Help me God. This is my pledge to You.

S-Pop Concert!

Just came back from S-Pop Concert thanks to Gwen who managed to get her hands on 6 tickets for us! The last time when I attended a concert was when I was still studying in Secondary Two and I remember it was Ah-Mei's concert at Singapore Outdoor Stadium. Anyway today was a great time spent with Dennis, Gwen, Debbie, Daniel C. and Sharlene at the event which ended around 11.30pm. The experience was enhanced overall thanks to a binocular brought along by Dennis' mum. =)

Oh and after that Gwen drove us to Geylang for supper. The famous beef kway teow we tried was really yummy! If you dare to eat frog leg you should really try the famous frog leg porridge there too! ;)

And guess what? I found Ah-Mei's signature outside indoor stadium! My day has been made perfect. :D

iTreasure

Met up with Freedy just hours ago. I was quite amazed at his attempt to interpret my personality cos 1) it sounds quite true 2) it was something I never quite knew about myself! Quite rare for someone to come and tell me something about myself that I'm unaware of, unless this person truly knows me well. :)

Freedy is my sheep for quite some years and he is one person I truly appreciate and treasure in my life. I enjoy moments catching up with him and I have all the desire to see him grow strong in Christ and for him to succeed in all areas of his life.

As a matter of fact, I do love all my sheeps and my people in NE alot. They are gifts from God to me. There are many times I struggled with becoming the best shepherd and leader I can be for them. There are definitely many moments when I feel a lack of wisdom and a sense of inadequacies to perform to what I think I need to be in order to be effective for my people's sake. But I know that I am always giving my best for these people and I strive to continuously strengthen myself so that I can remain to be a vessel of blessing for them. I give my best to what I know how and I trust that God will do the rest.

Besides my people, I do really treasure those friends that God has placed in my life too. I am thankful that many of those I served with the hardest have now become some of my closest friends. I appreciate these friendships and I pledge myself to commit to these relationships, not just the fellowship itself but to the mutual spiritual growth among ourselves. I pray that I can be a friend who brings spiritual substance to friends around me. I also desire for friends who dare to speak into my life and unreservedly guide me in areas I need to grow in.

Finally, I do love my family a lot, especially my mum. There have been so many times that I do not know how to express my care effectively for members of this family. I pray that my elder sis will enjoy a blissful marriage and my mum to enjoy good health. It has always been my dream to witness my younger sis to mature in Christ and to serve alongside with me just like Dennis and Jasmine.

These are the people God has blessed me with. I have no doubt about it. They are my iTreasure. :)

Another Jay Chou's song that I love

Enjoy!~ :D

More!

Found these pictures in an email sent by my elder sister. Oh mine... How creative can Singaporeans be. I'm amazed by their sense of humor in the midst of all the tension. :D

Mas Selamat Kastari

Went home together with Jon Tay last week when he told me about the escaped criminal Mas Selamat Kastari. Being a typical Singaporean, my first instinct was to ask Jon to change his driving direction towards Whitley Road so that I can see the roadblocks etc. :X

Its shocking isn't it? That such incident can actually happen in Singapore. I think many of us are thrown into much apprehension, especially that now we're surrounded by arrest posters of him everywhere... quite a few of us even have the haunting MMS of him sent by the police in our handphone right now.

Some people say its an inside job; others say it could be the doing of black magic. For me, this incident reminded me the fact that as Singaporeans we may have grown to become overly-reliant on our government; built up an unrealistic thinking-frame that our nation's defence will always be invulnerable and invincible. I think the incident has served as a wake-up call for complacent people like me and at the same time reminding our local authority the need for them to constantly evaluate and strengthen their leadership.

On the other hand, I felt really overwhelmed that a seemingly normal and decent-looking guy like Mas Selamat Kastari can actually harbour thoughts of destroying lives and property. Its truly frightening to witness how fearsome human becomes when they are indoctrinated with the wrong values and understanding. It reminds me the importance for me to cultivate balance and biblical values among the youths I serve with.

Anyway I found two extemely funny poster at Shirls blog (which is part of my inspiration for this blog post). Enjoy!
