Great day, greater year ahead! =D

jus came back frm a great, exciting, reviving service. :D here are jus some of e notes:

-=4 Drrections of Faith=-

1) HEIGHT: Have faith in God
*faith is a choice/decision, if things were going smoothly or if u can see it, then there's no need for faith.
*If you can see it, you can have it; if you can conceive it, u can receive it.
*there will always be giants in ur life. everytime we slay one of those giants, there's bound to be more. therefore the solution is not just to slay e giants in our life, but to be BIGGER than those giants.
*dun be ppl tt pray for a miracle and when i finally comes, they say 'God, are u sure?', 'i dun believe it/i dun believe this is happening'...'im an average person and now i got 3 As for my exams, i dun believe it...."
*our doubts will hinder us frm receiving God's miracles in our life.
*Think big, dream big, for even e highest heavens and e universe cannot contain God. yet God himself wants to dwell in us (sth so physically small compared to God), and in our life. If God can create the universe out of nothing, He can bring any dreams u have to pass. (of course it has to be a good one).

2)DEPTH: Have faith in yourself
*research and studies have proven that they way our life is, is determined by who we are in our self-image. e.g. if we think, a pass in exams would be good, we will be satisfied with little in e future. or if we think theres nth we can do to help in a particular situation, indeed nth would be done to improve/solve it.
*our brain is like an auto-pilot. e way we think in our mind 'steers' our body into fulfilling that self-proclamation/declaration of who we think we are. e.g. if someone believes tt he can lose weight and is determined to, then naturally, or instinctively, tt person's reaction/action plan to start a workout programme or if we think we are capable of become a minister in Singapore, then naturally we would have bigger ideas, more creative ideas, drive and determination to go on to achievin gour goal. 'our bodies fulfill what our mind says'.
*another example, would be in relationships. for example we believe that we can win e guy/gal over, then naturally we would come up with lots of ideas like gifts, spending more time with whom we love. we would have tt 'drive' to pursue what our mind thinks.
***'As a man thinks in his heart, so is he!'

*apart frm having gd self-image, have an ultimate security is another thing. having ultimate security is to know who u are in God eyes, holding on to His promises by faith, and to live according to His ways, without having to prove to yourself or to anyone else who you are. example, if you KNOW tt u are a gal u dun have to prove to anyone. right? if ure certain and know FOR SURE, den there wouldnt be a need to prove to even urself..."am i a girl? or maybe im not jus because i dun look as good as one. mebe i shld be a guy, mebbe im gay/les"...mebbe this and mebbe that.

3)WIDTH: Have faith in others.
*God came in e form of flesh and died not jus for me or for some smart guy...He came to died for everyone.
*Jesus knew tt there would be ppl who wouldnt receive Him as their savior and friend, but despite tt, Jesus remained on e cross. why? He loved us so much, that even if we were to reject Him, His love towards us will never change. Every step He took towards e cross, He thought of each one of us, of how we could live a victorious and exciting life and spend time with Him in eternity and not having to go thru e 'fire'. its a love so amazing that, Jesus himself, being 100% God and 100% man, endured e pain, persucution, scourging, spitting, ridicule and endured e most horrible death sentence at tt time for you and for me. in exchange for health, prosperity, blessings, eternal life.
*He could have jus wiped out e entire earth with a word, but someone so supreme, someone almighty, all powerful and all knowing, humbled Himself to a man, and go thru all tt, out of love. to be with us. God, having e power of life and death, chose death for himself, in exchange for life for us. That's e ultimate friend, and yet in our world today, we hardly find someone who is honest in wadever he says/in a relationship.
*God thinks highly on everyone. Even e person that you hate seeing everyday, Jesus came and died for that person and He has big dreams, a purpose and a destiny for tt person. its jus tt he hasnt seen it yet/he refused.
*God has faith in people. We might see ourselves as someone average, getting low salary, merely passing our exams..., ugly looking, etc. But He sees us as someone successful, rich, having more than enough not jus to live a blessed life, but to be a blessing to others, smart, good looking, being the 'head and not e tail, above and not beneath; blessed in our going in, blessed in our coming out'.
*Dun give up on urself and others, because God has not given up on us.

4) LENGTH: Have faith in your FUTURE
*we shouldnt limit ourselves or let others limit us. we have to think unlimited, becos He who is limitless, dwells in us and our lives. 'He can do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we can ask or IMAGINE; according to the power that is at work in us.'
*e moment we even think tt we cant make it, or 'die la', we will ever make it. less than one sec after e moment we think negative thoughts, our body will fulfill that thought becos when we are born, every man and woman will search for self-identity, true love, acceptance and security.
*we spend so much time worry abt things tt will nv happen that we lost all hope in ourselves an in others.
*there are people, when ppl fall sick or are in ICU, they always have this mentality, "God is punishing me." seriously, if sickness is frm God then e work on e cross 2005 yrs ago wouldve been wasted. all e time e battle between God and Satan would have been in vain. but in Christ, we have e victory!
*judement and punishment is not for now, its for after death. the funny thing is that ther claim GOd is punishing them yet, they themselves do not know God for who he is. XD

*e biggest mistake we can ever make is to choose our life according to our own thinking. for man's mind is limited, but faith puts no limit on GOd and God puts no limit on faith.
*God's will is always bigger than our ambition. for 'His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts." at e same time, GOd's love is greater than our circumstances.
*Id rather have life God's way, where there are always miracles, supernatural breakthroughs, blessings, having more than enough, than having life e way my limited mind can even perceive.
*i like wad ps kong said, "if have a dream from God, there in no demon in hell, no angel in heaven, not a single person on e face of the earth, can stop that dream from coming to pass'. indeed wadever God says, goes
*God has a great plan and destiny for our lives, will we live a limited unfulilling life? or will we live a life of breakthrough, a life where e impossible becomes possible? will we hold on to a dream that will one day perish with us in our graves? or will we have a dream, a purpose and a vision that will never pass away? achievements may pass away, but relationships, life's fulfillment, thoughts, memories, etc. will never pass away. e body may die, but our soul lives.

*Think big, dream big, have a God-plan for ur life, and even though e whole world were to come against it, it will stand forever.
