yup, today's sunday and it's been a great and exciting week for me.. wow.. still feeling excited.. harhar.. this sat, 26th nov was my dad's bdae.. so we went to eat fo tiao qiang.. wah.. i can see u ppl drooling.. harhar.. but the typical me, doesnt like seafood.. n i ended up watching them eat the fo tiao qiang.. doesnt really appeal to me thou, coz it's all seafood cooked together.. but the other dishes were quite nice.. n i had my favorite dessert, yam paste.. harhar..
but what was awesome wasnt the food.. it's e Word of God.. thank God that the excursion ended early coz of the rain.. so i reached home at abt 5pm n managed to catch svc 2 online.. after the svc, i felt it in my spirit to attend svc 5 and svc 6 today.. what i didnt know was that this was all part's of God's divine plan.. harhar..
in svc 2, pst phil preached about us having the fire of God in our lives.. what makes the difference between incense(prayer and worship) and dust? it's the fire, the anointing that makes the difference..
in svc 5, pst phil preached about simon peter.. he worked hard for the whole nite but there wasnt any results.. then Jesus came n told him to LAUNCH out into the DEEP.. n there were so many fishes that he couldnt contain.. he could have brought NETS but he only brought a NET out to sea.. but WE must bring out NETS to the deep.. bring in the harvest..
in svc 6, pst phil preached about the stone waterpots and clay waterpots.. we need to be like the clay waterpots, moulded by God.. ready to receive the new wine(anointing) before we go out into the wedding dinner(the world)..
so what are these to you?? 3 great messages from a great pastor from australia?? for me... it's not.. coz it's one big message from God himself.. He's speaking to me something.. like a double-edged sword piercing through my soul.. if not for His leading, i wouldn't have heard all these 3 messages.. to me, God is telling me to prepare myself.. get ready and catch the anointing, fire of God that is coming down from heaven.. the passion that is burning so strongly.. then after i've caught the fire, it's time to launch out into the DEEP with nets to bring in the harvest for Him.. emphasis on the word deep, coz it's not just souls around me, but everywhere.. into all the nations.. throughout all these, i must focus.. i need to be like the clay waterpot.. must be able to be moulded by God.. He will cleanse me from any impurities, n make me perfect in Him.. i need to be the yielded vessel that God can use to contain the growth.. to contain the fishes(souls) that are brought into the kingdom of God.. only when im ready, will God pour out His wine(anointing) into my vessel..
wow.. isnt this awesome.. im just amazed at how God can speak to us individually.. n not only that, God showed me a vision.. a vision of a heavy rain, pouring down on me.. then He told me that water has two meaning.. one, it is used for cleansing.. 2nd, it represents a hope.. when people are dying of thirst, water is their hope.. n these water droplets refers to the many souls.. a hope = a soul.. so, whatever that im going through right now, is part of God's plan to cleanse me of any impurities and get me ready.. n then i'll bring in the souls, for the kingdom of God... i'll be the vessel used to contain them..
wow wow wow.. i just felt greatly blessed by everything this wk.. n im so excited that words along cant describe how im feeling.. amazing.. this is a challenge for me.. to grow, to fulfill my potential.. but i also feel that it's a challenge to you out there.. as the church moves to expo, we will be the foundation of this church.. that's y we need to have the fire, launch out into the deep to bring in the souls, n at the same time remain yielded to God.. i will do it through Christ who strengthens me.. so will you!! Amen!!

yup.. i went for e bible study last nite!! it was awesome.. im glad to be able to rush back from aust in time for this bs.. harhar.. there's a time and season for everything rite? n im sure that this word was just in season for me.. feeling dry recently n desperately needed a new breakthrough!! yeah, what i really need now is to experience God in the Holy of Holies!! Amen!!
to enter into e Holy of Holies, we need to love the Word, love the Holy Spirit, and enter only through prayer n worship.. n worship is an attitude.. an attitude to submit to Him.. don't be bothered by anything, any circumstances, any inconvenience, just focus on Him wholeheartedly.. i desire for the shekinah glory of God.. n all of us should seek after it too.. it's where there's no more disruption, just between you n God.. it's where God will reveal to you great and mighty things from His mercy seat..
another thing that i learnt.. we need to know God.. not head knowledge.. that's good, but not good enough.. heada knowledge is for babes..
know = ginosko (Gk)
= personal knowledge by experience
yeah, so it's not so simple to know God.. but it can be made simple.. all we need to do is to enter into the Holy of Holies.. the outer courts is for babes.. the holy place is for young men, n the Holy of Holies is for us.. a place where we can receive personal knowledge/revelation from God..
God desires for us to be merciful.. n for us to be merciful, God will subject us to weakness.. that's y God gave us trials n tribulations.. so that we can be merciful n sympathise with someone else who's going through them.. so if u're complaining abt the trials, just look at Jesus.. He too went through times of testing n challenges.. so if Jesus goes through them, so who are we to reject them?? so we need to learn to put on the mercy garment.. let it cover ur MIND, to fill it with merciful thoughts, then ur EYES, to look at others with mercy, then ur EARS to hear words of mercy, then to ur MOUTH, to speak words of mercy, then to ur HEART, to sympathise with mercy what others is going through, then to ur SPLEEN, to let mercy flow out of your spirit, then to ur FEET, so that you will walk around with mercy.. MERCY is ROOTED in EXPERIENCE!! Amen!!

yup, in my last entry, i said that i read alot of books in aust.. n i wrote down some interesting stuff that i wrote.. here is it.. i shall share w u guys bit by bit.. harhar..

PROBLEMS
Predictors - They help mould our future

Reminders - We are not self-sufficient. We need God and others to help

Opportunites - They pull us out of our comfort zone and cause us to think creatively

Blessings - They open us doors that usually do not go through

Lessons - Each new challenge will be our teacher

Everywhere - No place or person is excluded from them

Messages - They warn us about potential disaster

Solvable - No problem is wihout a solution

How true is this right?? all of us have to face problems in life.. the bible says so too.. it says that we will go through trials n tribulations.. but what matters is hw we respond to it.. we need to learn how to focus on God, n rejoice with Him even through our problems.. hope this helped you!!

hi, finally found time to type again.. it's been a month since im away.. australia should be a fun place to go to, but not for me this time round.. went to rockhampton, a super duper ulu place in aust.. nothing much there to shop or buy, only had one shoppping centre in the entire rockhampton.. faintz.. i can finish shoppping there in like 2 hrs lor.. boring boring.. weather was quite erratic there.. experienced a thunderstorm, n it's not like the thunderstorms that we have in singapore.. there, the rain was super heavy, n it's so cold to the extent that it rained ice cubes.. thank God we r under shelter.. harhar.. other than that, nothing much interesting there.. wasted one month of my time there.. harhar.. sianz.. read alot during those time.. it's good..
n finally, im back in church.. straight back to serve.. somehow, the feeling wasnt that good.. yah, i miss church n miss serving.. but somehow, the energy is just not within me.. learnt a very important lesson this wk.. it's something that i;ll nv forget bahz.. focus n conviction.. what r u focusing on?
me? ever since the grp multiplied, i've been focusing on the wrong things.. attendance is not tat important after all.. what we are after is not just numbers.. i need to focus again.. focus on e One who brought about all these.. He's e reason why im doing what im doing.. i need to learn.. thks sis jo.. thks for letting me learn this impt lesson..
i feel that i've just received an energy booster.. holding fast to my conviction, yes, i will stand strong.. nothing is bigger than our God.. NOTHING!! yeah! n what matters the most is between me n God.. it's not the circumstances that limit us, but we are the ones who put the limit on ourselves.. we need to understand that thorugh it all, all we gotta do is to trust Him.. n i will do just that!! Amen..
november is coming to an end soon.. time really flies.. it's so fast. year 2005 is going to be over soon.. what have you accomplished? have u achieved the goals that you have set out to achieve at the start of the yr? it's time to reflect on them now.. lets end the yr well.. take care everyone!
