Deliverance weekend and combined CG

yea service with Mike COnnell was great! :) i received inner healing! and now i feel soooooooooooooo happy!!!! :) i feel as if a mountain has jus been removed and i feel so much lighter, so free! hehe...:D

e atmosphere was so intense, so tangible and so powerful. as mike connell gave e word, im sure many felt as if e Word was spoken directly to our hearts. soon ps mike gave e alter call and HUNDREDS responded and were saved. :) sooner or later when we move to EXPO or our new stadium, i believe its not just gonna be hundreds that get added to God's kingdom every week, but THOUSDANDS! xD yea..

den ps mike gave e invitation for all who needs prayer, inner healing or deliverance. so many responded, almost 70-80% of e congregation went up. but for me, being seated in e 3rd row, i was one of e few who went forward first. hehe...lol

i got prayed and laid hands on by ps Tan, i fell under e glory and e power of God. and i began to tremble as e glory of God was so thick upon me. i felt as if im covered in a blanket of glory, of love, of freedom, someone who loves me for who i am and someone who understands what im going through and is willing to give me a better life, a life of success, of freedom and victory. :)

as i lay there in a trance, ppl around were crying, some screaming and some becoming violent as demons manifested. a brother came and laid his hands on me, as he prayed, i began to burst into tears. i felt as if, all my problems, all my fears, all my stress, all my temptations and struggles have been lifted off frm me xD i felt so light, so free, so LOVED.

i felt God's love upon me like NEVER BEFORE, there was so much joy and freedom, i cried for 15minutes. i felt God so close to me once again. it was a GREAT feeling. i feel soooo happy now! hehe...:) so free! im ready to take the world! lol...

as i went back, i saw this old lady tt was selling icecream at e same spot near bnl mrt for a long time. at tt moment, i felt compassion for her and went forward to buy some ice cream frm her. i began to feel things e way God feels em, i know something's changed in me. i feel more love for people, more compassion to those in need.

in my room as i prayed and bless e icecream lady and e brother who prayed for me, tears began to roll down my eyes once again. i felt God's love so overwhelming, i didnt want to let go...xD He touched me again, at home :) Im in love...^^ keke.

yesterdae had e first combined cg with E354 (dun scold or hamtam me if wrong ah...lol :D) great to meet u chatty bunch of brothers and sisters with DEFINTELY a GOOD APPETITE lol...^^ got prayed for by sis vivian. her prayer really touched my heart. indeed God is gonna do wad no eye has seen, no ear has heard thru me, to make an impact in e world and in my surroundings. :D

Deliverance from Demons

bs was great...e atmosphere was slightly different...it had e 'mike connell' atmosphere. and worse....T15 had to talk abt e EXACT SAME THINGS tt were taught yesterdae durin BS...woot lol...

5 EXAMPLES OF DELIVERANCE

1. The Demonised Multitude - Mk1:32-34

-Jesus performed MASS deliverance.
-He ministered deliverance OPENLY.
-Jesus had e AUTHORITY to command e demon NOT to SPEAK.

2. The Gadarene Demoniac -Mk 5:1-19.

3. The Epileptic boy. - Mk9:17-42

-Demons often cause SICKNESSES
-The work of deliverance requires FAITH and ANOINTING. (u cannot have fear, not even 0.00000001%.)

-The demon spirit could recognise e ANOINTED servants of God.
-Paul cast out the demon in e name of JESUS.

HOW CAN DEMONS ENTER A PERSON?

1. Through deliberate, HABITUAL SIN. - Heb10;26, 1 Jhn3:9

-our eyes are e window to our soul -> emotions and will.

2. Through CONTACTS with demons and the occult. - deut 18:10-12, 1 cor 10:19-22

-1 sam 15:23, 16:14

-e.g. superstition practices, ''7th month'' pratices, witchcraft, medium/fortune telling/etc, sorcery, passing thru e fire ceremonies, talking to/summoning e dead, worshipping of idols/'gods'/satanic worship.

-once ur mind is open to these things, u open a door for demons/spirits to enter into ur mind/life.

-always guard ur hearts n minds!

3. Through REBELLION and blatant DISOBEDIENCE

4. Through CHILDHOOD dedication to demons. -psm 106:37-38

-e.g. dedication to 'gods' / spirits or demons. e.g. "you make me rich/powerful, and ill dedicate my son/daughter to you..." etc.

-e.g. includes generation curse.

5. Through SEXUAL IMMORALITY. - exo 32:6, rev 2:20, 9:20-21, 1 cor 6:9-10, 16-20

Law of Potential

service was great. Law of Potential. ^^ and mike connell is coming. i rem my first mike connell experience, it was unbelievably phenomenal, it was really an eye opener for me. xD

1. Potential is UNEXPOSED ABILITY and hidden power.
-as long as something has been done before, its no longer a potential.

-Potential is dormant ability, reserved power, untapped strength, unused success, hidden talents, capped capability.

-It is all you can do but have not yet done, how far you can reach but have not yet reached, and what you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished.

2. GOD is the source of ALL potential.

-God is omnipresent - everywhere at e same time
-God is omniscient - knows anything and everything hidden or exposed, seen or unseen.
-God is omnipotent - all powerful. (potent -> potential).

-before time began, God was already 'pregnated' with the universe and all its potential, of everything seen and not seen.

3. Everything starts potentially with a 'SEED IDEA'
-things happen because people dare to dream; have a vision/purpose.

4. Nothing potentially great in life is ever INSTANT.

5. Potential is released by HARD WORK.
-work is not a curse but a blessing. b4 e creation of man, God worked. God loves to work. Adam worked (in Eden). God had e potential to create e entire universe, but it only came to existence when He starts to SPEAK and MOVE.

-If you think that Heaven is a place to sit on ur cotton candy cloud with ur harp and relax for all eternity, ure wrong! In heaven we are priests and servants unto the Lord that will rule and reign with Christ for eternity. Heaven is not a place for lazy people! You are gonna WORK for eternity...

-Hard work + responsibility/character/attitude = authority.

6. To maximize potential, I need to use my talents and abilities to its FULL CAPACITY.
-Your potential is your purpose, your purpose is your potential.

- dont stay mediocre and live a normal, average, defeated life! RISE UP! and STEP OUT! dont drive at 80km/h when ure designed/wired for 250km/h!

7. Constant COMPARISON with others can harm potential.
-our greatest competition if not others better than us, the greatest competitor is OURSELVES!

-Success is not determined by how much uve done compared to others. Success is determined by how much uve done compared to how much you COULDVE done.

8. PAST EXPERIENCES can hinder faith and harm potential.
-traditions and worldly thinking can prevent you from maximizing ur potential. e.g. healing of the sick, casting of demons, etc...
-until you step out, ull nv experience the FULL christian life.
-Do not pull e lvl of your faith to e lvl of ur experience, but bring your lvl of experience to e lvl of your faith!

9. To maximize potential, I need to obey the LAWS of LIMITATION.
-laws are there not to give us a hard time, but they are there to help us maximize and develop our potential in a manner that will work out for us.
-For example, a circuit breaker is not installed to prevent you from having fun, but to ensure safety.

-The moment you cross the boundary of limitation, you are finished! E.g. drugs, are meant to cure sickness, once e line is crossed, you start to have drug abuse.

-E.g. admiring an item in a shop is alright, but once you cross e boundary and STEALS, your life is finished. OR a banker with a chance of promotion starts to misuse/squander money form e bank not only loses his job, he loses his chance of getting promoted, he loses his circle of frens, nobody wants to hire him, he loses his future, eventually...his future is ruined for e rest of his life.

-Like e servant with e 1 talent, he chose to hide it, eventually even the little he had was taken away from him.

10. Potential is mazimized when you SHARE it with OTHERS.
-e.g. a music band, is an example of talents combined.

Celgrp and encounter with God.

celgrp was great. yupz. 5 steps of faith:

Dream, Decision, Delay, Deadend, Deliverance.

learnt that delay is not denial. deadends and death of dreams happen so that we can learn to trust God. and when we do, God says that "what you cannot do, I will do on oyur behalf". then God begins to move...

after celgrp we met Evan one by one to so some stuffs RE the Arise n Build pledge. dunno y i keep on have this feeling that ppl tink its abt my amount.

we may give different amounts but equal sacrifice. before missions pledge i had 4.1k in my savings...i gave 1k for missions. plus additional expenses i have 2xxx left. if i add my monthly savings together with around 1xxx frm my account, i could cover the 6 month pledge of 2k easily.

strangely, i had no idea how i got 4.1k in my savings in e first place...lol. apart frm earning 1xxx frm my sentosa job, i used to save 50 every month and ge tmy mum to deposit into my acc. guess it really paid off. xD

i had another encounter again with God.

in my room after my cg left. i was playing this song u now listen to on this page. as i lay on my bed, e presence of God came upon me and i began to tear.

at tt moment i started to see my pledge...and i tot to myself, why am i doing this? what in the world could ever make me dare and challenge the impossible? it was God. its that love so strong and a relationship so deep. i began to cry to God and told Him, "I love you, this is what i live for, this is what im willing to die for..."

overwhelmed by God's presence and love, my mind began to picture Jesus on the cross as i listened to this song. indeed you gave me one more chance...all the good things in my life...i am amazed. i began to long for Jesus, i began crying out to Him. i was filled with tears as i said to God,

"i want you, i love You, nothing can take You away from me...I am yours and you are mine...you are what the world could never take. thank you for loving me. thank you for dying for me..."

service in a few hours time, yea the "Law of Potential"...XD so excited...got sound practical session tomoro at 7.30-1030. :)

Bible Study on healing yea

had bs jus now. talked abt healing. i like wad one of the notes said:

Studies have shown that 80% of all sicknesses are psychosomatic (caused by mental-emotional factors). That means that if you dont deal with your mental-emotional problems (fears, worries, anger problem, bitterness, unforgiveness) you will stay sick.

how true....that are people tt leave before their time bcos theyve lost e will to live. truly wad goes on in ur mind WILL manifests itself in reality. everything in this world is a result of a thought. xD

God has brought me thru 2 papers oredy. 2 more to go...jia you! :) and i like this new song sung by brother Sydney...thanks to Sean for it. and nope its not torrenated XD haha...

MENGENAL-MU by Sydney Mohede

Bila kubuka mataku (When I open my eyes)
Dan lihat wajahMu (And look at Your face)
Ku ter kagum (I am amazed)

Bila kulihat hidupku (When I look at my life)
Dan karya tanganMu (And all the works of Your hand)
Ku ter sanjung (I am honored)

Kar'na semua yang baik (Because all good things)
Dalam hidupku (In my life)
Itulah karyaMu (They are Your wondrous works)
Kau b'ri k'sempatan yang baru (You give a brand new chance)

Dan ku ingin mengenalMu, Tuhan (And I want to know You, God)
Lebih dalam dari s'mua yang kukenal (Deeper than all that I have known before)
Tiada kasih yang melebihiMu (There is no greater love than Yours)
Ku ada untuk menjadi penyembahMu (I am here to be Your worshipper)

Arise and Build 2005

i did it...i put down my first AAB pledge today. 17-07-05, 1pm. it was a rather emotional time, and at e same time, the presence of God was so strong, so tangible, so overwhelming...tears flowed like rivers down my face. and i knew, that i had met God, and that God will be there for me, for these 6 months. i pledged a 4month time period to fulfill my amount.

when i sow, i know that im not sowing something that costs me nothing, but im indeed sowing my life, im sowing my precious. like wad pastor said, each one of us has indeed outgave Bill Gates. Bill Gates gave a SMALL PORTION of wad he had to charity and other organization and events, even though they might be a few million, but today, each one of us pledged to give sacrificially, i didnt even worry if ill have food to eat after 6months, but i KNOW WHO GOD IS. :) what is precious to us is precious to God.

so troubled and how expected this is. people didnt show up. those that seemed on fire for God and serious didnt appear. im nt pointing fingers but its just a fact, its just something that happened because a decision was made. i have to be really honest.....i cant stand negative people, i cant stand people with no faith, people with a poverty mindset, people who are dare to believe but dare not act on WHAT they believe. im just so sad...i mean if u have reasons its ok. im not troubled only by those i know, but the entire church as a body. it might not be people i know, but because my heart is with God and with this church, i care for every single one.

dont just come because the music is nice, dont just come and suck God's presence without receiving anything into your heart, dont just come because ur friends are here, if u wanna come, then be serious with God, dun just be a believer, be a disciple....experiencing God is one thing, but CATCHING the vision of the church into ur heart is another. without a vision the people perish.

okay....im nt gonna say anything more. like wad evan said, either u grow or u go. e moment i come to this church...i knew i was meant to be here for such a time as this.

One of my life secrets. (something i just found out)

mebbe ive not shared this with ANYONE at all. but when i was younger, about primary 2-4, i went to my fren's house to stay overnight. and on a particular sunday, his mum brought us to church. at that time i was still young and i hated church, i hated sunday school. so i was brought by my fren and his mum to this old building for church.

his mum sent us to sunday school class while she attended the main service. i didnt want to go sunday school, so i left the room and took a peek at the main service. i was short and curious so i opened a SMALL GAP in the door and there i saw people, on their knees with tears in their eyes. because i was VERY young, i was wondering "my goodness, they crazy or wad? what is happening?" and i heard the preacher preaching very loudly, and i heard them speaking in an unknown language. they seemed to be uttering something which i now know, is tongues.

jus weeks ago, during service pictures of various old places where CHC used to gather for service were put up on the LED, places like hollywood theatre, etc.. and one of the pictures STRUCK my memory. "this is the place!!! it IS the place! its the place where i went to when i was a kid!!!" it was soo familiar, so accurate, i knew that i HAD BEEN to city harvest and i didnt know it until weeks ago! at that moment, everything began to come into place. i knew my calling was FOR CHC...and that God wastes NOTHING in my life.

the interesting thing is that....it was BEFORE hollywood theatre! manz..lol indeed everything that happens in ur life, will come together for your good to those who love God. :) and everything in ur life, will come to fulfil GOd's purpose and destiny for ur life.

well, 4 months countdown, for my pledge to be fulfilled. indeed im sowing and giving to God and not to man. im sowing for our new stadium, for 100000 members and for our future generation. :) indeed God is nt interested in how much u give, besides, all the gold and silver are His. He's not into ur quantity but ur quality. XD had great time with cg after svc at kopitiam opp. haha we played murderer again lol. haha adam u rock! LOL....anthrax bomb hahahahaha jkjk :P keke..

commontest tomoro....better start on my OOP. ciao

Cel group!!! and OPM

cg was fun....yea.....i enjoyed the presence of God. :) few more hours and its arise n build pledge time...so excited and intense hehe.....^^

indeed, the amount im gonna pledge is something that not only will cost me something, but cost me everything. yup, $2000 which is DOUBLE my missions pledge. but like wad pastor said, unequal amount but equal sacrifice. XD but im willing to challenge the impossible and God has never failed me :)

impossible becomes possible when i take away "IM (I am)". and u begin to trust in God, who is unseen. That's why u need faith to please God.

had a great fellowship...met steven frm makeup cel...nice guy ;) had twisties, curry puff, and crackers. den after that we played murderer & thief and heartattack with uno cards. my hands were red by e end LOL.....thanks to vivian.....u very violent le.....hahahahahaha jkjk. hit so hard LOL.....but overall it was great fun. xD

id better rush up on my bible reading....im uber lagging. and thx to tiakhee....these are some really nice videos...lol my laughter almost caused 9.5 on the richter scale LOL...

i had another encounter last night durin OPM...as i knelt before God with tears of joy and overwhelment...as i lifted my hands UP to God...i asked God for a encounter....deep down i longed for soooo much more....and true enough i felt God went pass my hands and gave me, not exactly a hi-5....but more of like a celebrity going past me and im like one of the fans trying to grab his hand, and God grabbed my hand...i felt the same electrifying presence on my right palm....:) it was an awesome time in God's house....

indeed like wad pastor said. a church is not a building but a group of people with the same heavenly vision. and building a church is not about building buildings, but we are really into building lives...:) and weekend service with A.R. bernard is postponed to DECEMBER....noooooo lol. but im nt angry or anything. i nv heard him preach b4 but frm wad i observed...he's an uber preacher LOL

and hes doing a project with his church now... 400 million US. building a stadium, shopping mall and housing estates.....OH MAN......how i wish CHC would have its own shopping mall and housing estates.....its so AWESOME! praise God! and we are all definitely happy for ps A.R. Bernard, working with governors and all.....yupx

sound ministry went off smoothly praise GOD! and ive just got more things to remember and more technical stuff and more procedures...man......lol GOd i really need Your strength and wisdom. and i got my first sound ministry homework!!! lol yes....to do a sketch of the wiring system in the cafe..manz....haha.

about the NKF news, what can i say. like wad pastor said, when we give, we must have the attitude of giving unto the Lord and not to man. im nt angry, judgemental nor critical. kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, but like pastor kong when i heard the news....i really thank God that He's with us. our church had e same kind of reports....about ps sun and about our funds/financial issues and all that. but instead of division/church politics, instead of decreasing in numbers, we GREW even more and in that same year, we were the first church to obtain the ISO certificate! praise God! :)

well, ill report good news later....after svc...hehe. ciao.

Wad should i type...?

common test is next week, and i started my revision yesterdae -.0 well, guess its just me...ill never move until i feel the rush. >.<

im really looking forward to the finale of the finale, the LAST OPM before arise n build pledge day! yay! lol.... later got ministry...dunno y i feel the stress so fast...^^ so many things to learn, so many things to do, so many things to memorize, and im gonna be doing solo soon...and the pastor!.....zomg...lol and everyone is watching...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...T_T

lol but as long as God is happy...i am happy :) im not jus serving unto e pastors or the congregation, but im serving unto the Lord! =)

so excited for arise n build weekend! its my first AAB pledge. hehe....like wad pastor said, wad we have now, e nice building, good learning materials, are a result of the sacrifices of the previous givers and sowers and those who sacrificed. right now i jus wanna sow and sacrifice to the future generation so that they can enjoy the presence of God even more, and to have a deeper understanding of His Word.

im so excited....$15 500 000 is our target...and 50000members when we move to EXPO. den after that, we believe God will provide the land, in the marketplace....so that we can build a 7000-seater stadium for e marketplace to penetrate e marketplace. :D and i jus know....that we are gonna have 100000 members when we move to the stadium. ;) we can believe together, for a greater breakthrough. xD

indeed e harvest is plentiful, but e labourers are few. wad we need now is not converts, but disciples that are willing to take up e cross and follow Him, that have a heart for e lost, a heart of mission, purpose and destiny.

BS was great and appropriate...was in e midst of fasting when i fell sick. during e BS the subject was Divine Healing PartA, how appropriate! =) and those who were sick including me were prayed for and laid hands upon...healing did not come instantly....but recovery had begun (and i didnt know it, but i believed it). And as i took e bus on my way home...i thanked God for healing. and when i reached home, praise God i was completely healed :) yay!!!! XD

thats wad faith is...faith is not seeing to believe, but believing to see! God moves, WHEN you move. :)

YAY! the long awaited update is FINALLY here...haha

yupx my week's been good! every week is good! lol, everyday of my life is good! achieving the impossible....chicken feet with God :) keke...im getting so used to this....achieving e impossible everyday, miracles upon miracles....man God, i need to see and experience UNUSUAL miracles from now on...xD yay.....

indeed problems are not there to bring you down, its an oppotunity for you to trust God for the impossible. =) you can CHOOSE, u could do something no one else could. ur whole life is a CHOICE. well, overnight prayer meeting was great....man how i miss OPMs...T_T next week's the final one before pledge day.....and yupx ive got an amount! yay....but it will cost me literally EVERYTHING....but i tell myself....its worth it. xD

months ago durin missions fund, i pledged $1000 and i fulfill it. all my PT job in sentosa paid off. now its time for God to challenge me again....this time, with DOUBLE the sacrifice. yes $2000 is my pledge, its gonna cost more than just finances, its gonna cost me my ENTIRE LIFE! but of course in e meantime, ill be looking for a PT job if possible. xD

as i look for a PT job, i NEED to look for one that im wired for. like pastor said, if ure not wired for it, ull nv see success because each of us have a different calling....a different purpose. and when u do it for God, the job is no longer a job....it becomes ur ministry! if i cant find one...then its gonna take faith and an enlarged capacity to pour my life out frm my savings.

i told myself, my life is no longer mine, my finances are not mine, they are God's...im just a steward. all i have, i give it to You....

all that happened in e past 2 weeks have indeed stretched my capacity, and enlarged my faith to believe e impossible. but MOST importantly....all that ive been through, have caused me to love GOd even more. :)

well, here are today's notes: yay!!!! lol....i really appreciate ps kong for not feeding us with milk, or bread, but with SOLID FOOD....xD


-Eccl 7:12-13, eccl 7:13, gen 2:1-2
-What is rest? a place of rest is a place of control; a place of order.
-Success is a CHOICE. the reason you are not successful is because you have not CHOSEN to.

-Beware of mediocrity, be a contrarian! and do things contrary to others. e.g. durin a time of recession, everyone is saving and worrying about their finances, but you sow by faith into the kingdom of God. then God will bless you in the midst of recession.

-"nature" means law and order in v13. (TLB).


THE LAW OF THE HARVEST - While the earth remains, seed TIME and harvest....shall not cease...

1. Your SEED must be planted. - gen 8:22

2. What you sow is what you REAP. - gen 1:12, gal 6:7

3. The QUALITY you sow is the quality you reap. -mal 1:8, prov 3:9-10

4. The MEASURE you sow is the measure you reap. - 2 cor 9:6, luke 6:38

5. Sow TO your HARVEST SIZE, not from your harvest size. - gen 26:1. 12-13
-dun sow out of what you have, but look to the future and sow to it.

6. You must render your seed USELESS. - John 12:14
-when you give, do not give out of popularity, etc... / give with an unwilling heart / give your leftovers or something which costs you nothing, just to tip God...
-learn to LET ur seed GO; let go and let God!

7. Your seed must be planted on GOOD GROUND. - Matt 13:8, Mark 10:29-30, Hag 2:18-19
-the best ground is the kingdom of God, that is unshakable and eternal.
-mk 10:29-30, u give a 'house', and God will give you 'houses'
-the moment you sow into God's kingdom no matter wad ur situations maybe...God says that 'from that day on, i will bless You.'

8. The harvest always takes TIME. - mk 4:26-27, gal 6:9, eccl 11:1
-in between seed and harvest...is TIME!
-if ure impatient, ull never get ur harvest.

9. A part of your harvest is for SOWING AGAIN. - 2 cor 9:8, 2 cor 9:10-11
-always have a leftover, so that you can keep on sowing.
-if you sow everything, how are you gonna sow more? how are you gonna b a blessing to others?
-e.g. an old well, there is a pump. and beside the pump is a small bottle of water. it kept so that in future, the pump can be used again.
-this leads to the last point.....

10. God gives seed to the SOWER. - 2 cor 9:10
-you must start somewhere.
-you may start small, but as you continue to trust God, in time, ull see yourself not jus giving $5 or $100, but thousands and millions of dollar and STILL have more than enough to be a blessing to others.


THE LAW OF ABILITY - Deut 8:18: Remember the Lord, for it is He who gives you the ABILITY to produce wealth, and so confirms His convenant, which He swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

1. Ability is the POWER, SKILLS, RESOURCES to accomplish something. - mt 25:15

2. Life distributes to everyone ACCODRING to his/her ability. - heb 5:14
-God may know your limit, but they CAN be stretched.

3. God expects you to RAISE the LEVEL of your ability. - Jhn 16:12
-Some things God may not reveal to you now, because you are not ready for it. but tt doesnt mean he wont reveal it to you later. he EXPECTS you to raise your ability to THAT level; to a level when ure ready.

4. Your ability grows to the level of your DREAM. - prov 18:9
-we dont live on welfare, we live to fare well.
-dun blame God, dun blame e govt, ure only as good as ur dream/goal.

5. Inability has more to do with a BAD ATTITUDE. - luk12:48, mt 15:24-25, mt 25:28
-In life, we are possessors of nothing but stewards of everything.
-its all about the attitude. ur attitude determines ur altitude.
-a few examples:

a. people living in slums.
-DONT think they have no creativity, DONT tink they have no ability.
-building an ENTIRE SETTLEMENT out of cardboard boxes, raffia strings and bamboo poles, u dont call that ability???
-indeed they HAVE the ability, its just that they dun have a dream/vision from God/attitude that will take them to the next level!

b. gangsters and mafias.
-it takes a LOT of ability to lead tens/hundreds of people. it takes ability to get people to obey/listen to you, it takes ability to have people to be good 'stewards' of your money and to ensure that the money goes back to you.
-but what happened? they dont have the attitude, that is why they are not successful in life, but merely just a stain to society.

7. With ability comes HIGHER RESPONSIBILITY. - luk12:48
-responsiblity comes from 2 words: response + ability.
-people will EXPECT a quicker/better response, and an ABOVE AVERGAGE ability from a better person.
-e.g. if u want a high pay job, with above average bonuses, you need to have a higher level of commitment & attitude, and an above average ability.

8. As ability increases, so does the ATTRACTION of OPPORTUNITIES. - prov 18:16

9. Ability attracts ABILITY. - 1 chr 12
-e.g. tenor groups/duets -> they are formed because they share the same skills and abilities.
-this leads to the last point...

10. Your ability is hindered or enhanced by the COMPANY you keep. - mk2, 1 cor 15:33
-if u wanna be an eagle and soar high in life...dun hang around turkeys!
-friends are there to carry you to a point when u can carry yourself.
-wanna noe why e rich become richer and e poor becomes poorer? the answer is simple, e rich hang around e rich and they share their creative ideas, while the poor gather around the poor and complain of poverty and lack.
-there must be a change in attitude, someone MUST step out in faith and DARE to dream!


study break this week, common test next week and building fund pledge too! so excited. if God is with me, no one can be against me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper, He will make you the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, blessed in your coming in, blessed in your going out. seek first His kingdom and all His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you......so many promises......and of cos, WITH God, ALL things are possible.

which is why i never rely on myself, or on earthly things/people/ideas...:)

we are destined for success...xD

My 2 encounters with God...sermon outline

Here's the 2 encounters on the same day with God that really brought me closer to Him and well, made me love God even more xD

My first encounter - During OPM (overnight prayer meeting)

well, we were in deep worship around 3am plus....everyone were on their knees and just soaking in the presence of God. it was a great experience. and a wonderful one too. so as usual, i was there on my knees...already God's presence and love had oredy overwhelmed me to tears. and i was there lifting my hands to e Lord.

then i felt the glory of the Lord fall upon me. the way God's presence felt like began to change. it became heavier, thicker and before i could even realise wad was going on. i felt the same electricity that i felt during celgrp not too long ago, (think can find e testimony - click on "An encounter with God that i will never forget"...), that same electricity and warmth swept past me. it was soo tangible and at e same time...familiar. i began to recall how He placed His arms around me...i cried out to God: pls dont go away! my hands are here Lord....hold me close and never let me go...i was already overwhelmed to tears at that time.

and true enough, i felt the Lord grabbing me by my right palm and i began to weep even more as God's presence and love overwhelmed me again and again...then God began to stroke me palm. i could literally feel God (i was on my knees and my palm was lifted up)! His touch was electrifying and warm, i felt it as He stroked my hand...i could feel it going top - down, top - down, top - down, top - down. very soon i felt myself shaking uncontrollably. i loved it. after less than a minute...God's touch began to fade away....i cried out even more: please dont go! not now.....dont let go....never let me go....i want to feel You...

i was too overwhelmed to pray...to even sing, i tried to say something to God frm my mouth, but i couldnt help it...i was just too overwhelmed to even move....xD all i could do was to let God do what He wanted and love Him even more, let myself soak and drown in His presence...:) words cannot express wad i went through together with God. such experiences you have to experience it for urselves...but more importantly...you must WANT an encounter from God...=)

my second encounter: during cel grp.

during cel grp on saturday i experienced another encounter with God. 2 weeks ago i experienced one...last week i had 2...so here's how it goes...:)

it was just hours after the overnight prayer meeting and most of us like shin, pam, evan, peng were still in e OPM mood. so e atmosphere during celgrp was very strong. esp during praise n worship. there was a time when we were waiting on e Lord. and adam and evan each sang a new song to e Lord. e moment adam hit the first words...God's presence and love once again overwhelmed me...tears began to flow down my face. and as e presence and glory of God thickened....i soon found myself once again shaking uncontrollably.

it felt as if e Holy Spirit has come upon the entire room and the whole place was shaken, jus like during pentecost. xD i felt e warmth and fire of God. not much of an electrifying encounter, but just THICK, warm loving touch form Heaven. it felt as if im in a bubble...a fireball of God. i felt so safe, so loved, so secure...and i felt like singing a new song to the Lord. but it felt as if fire was around me, all over me...and GOd saying, "I am yours and you are Mine.." xD i was so touched, so overwhelmed...i couldnt even sing, i couldnt even pray, just like wad happened during OPM. it was just too overwhelming....wad could i do? i could do nothing...but to tell God, "I love You" :)

i told myself that i would NEVER take advantage of such experiences like this! just like pastor and evan said, miracles and encounters must be a common thing, so that God can start doing 'unusual' ones :D it must be a regular experience, a common thing.

update

service was great today. laws on purpose part 2! hehe....oh ya. yesterdae after cg had fun looking at pics frm isreal tt peng showed us...hehe. farnie fella....cheeky fella...sneak behind ps ulf ah? hahahahaha :D put u nv escaped his discernment...lol "oh come on..." hahaha :P

oh ya speaking of discernment...last week i went to church office at suntec with ah bao to meet ps audrey to discuss abt building fund. there were 4 people including me and ahbao. then during e meeting she pointed at 2 of 4 of us and said to them "people like you 2 who have received an amount from God, make sure u are faithful to fulfill that pledge..." then she pointed at me and another sister "even though you 2 havent received an amount...continue to seek the Lord k?"

lol, waaaaa! at that moment i tio stun! i tio headshot! she spoke with accurate discernment and right at my heart!!!!! i was taken back, shocked, blow away...! lol the other sister oso tio stun, cus indeed we have prayed but havent got an amt to pledge yet...lol so scaaaaaary....:S

and yea! building fund in 2 weeks! u ask people donate to temple they will say, "donate? for waht? i rather eat my cha kuay tiao..." but we are raising up a new generation of youths that will take asia by storm! a generation on fire for God. :) im hoping to get a part-time job to raise money for the building of our new stadium. after today's sermon, i told myself if i want to excel in my job i need to find one that im WIRED for...xD well, heres e notes:

THE LAW OF PURPOSE

1. Everything in life has a PURPOSE
-ur life is nt controlled by fate...YOU control your fate.
-God wastes NOTHING, NOT ONE experience good or bad youve been thru, is wasted. e.g. EX drug addicts, they use their life changing experience to help those in need, trapped in addiction.

2. My purpose is in the MIND of God
-it was there even before you were born; b4 u were born, u were in God's mind and ultimate plan.

3. My purpose is constantly and unceasingly CALLING out to you.
-all along it was there EVEN b4 u were born. so e moment u were born, u dun have to look for it...it will look for you!

4. Where purpose is not known, ABUSE is inevitable.
-u have ur gifts and talents when u were born, but u use them for e wrong purpose.
-abuse = abnormal use

5. My ABILITY (natural inclination) and NATURE predict my purpose.
-wad are you good at? THAT is your purpose. it was there e moment u were born!
-DONT do something ure not wired to do. for example, a comforter, singer, etc.

6. What I have a PASSION for predicts my purpose.
-wad do you like to do? sing? then sing for God.
-because u can change people's lives...for ETERNITY

7. Purpose brings with it the ANOINTING for maximum success.
-ONLY when ure walking in GOD's purpose, even every bad thing can be turned around for your good bcos when God is with you, no one can be against you, not even failure.
-and God is SPECIFIC in His purpose for you.

8. My purpose will PROSPER me and the KINGDOM of God.
-our calling is a two-fold calling. we are blessed to be a blessing.

9. Where my TALENTS and the NEEDS of of the world intersect, therein lies my purpose.
-dun just use ur talents for fame/glory, but use it to change lives for ETERNITY!

Update! Update!

many things have happened this week that strengthened my relationship with God.

firstly: WM assignment

WM assignment was due on friday 5pm. wednesday was fasting day and had BS so didnt have time to do the 8-page long website proposal. so i decided to do on thursday. but to my horror, i experienced a sudden mental block. i couldnt seem to think of any ideas on wad to write....i couldnt even start. each time i tried to think, my mind would go blank....my mood deteriorated. i no longer had e mood to do anymore. e stress was so great, i almost broke down and cried and told myself "i give up''...

wad could i do? i kept on praying until it was like 3am. attempted to do e intro, managed to do a BIT of it. din have much planning. slept at 4+am. woke up next day for IS lesson. lesson ended at 11+am. i straight away rushed e assignment. and i really wanna thank God that i didnt have any panic attacks or mental blocks while doing e assignment. :) yea...

praise God i told myself, as long as i can see it, i can have it. even though it was IMPOSSIBLE to finish EVERYTHING by 5, i told myself, no harm believing :) at first i told myself tt i would just submit e assignment w/o doing e design part, but as i prayed once again...i began to feel strength, energy, creativity flow through me and praise God, i completed the 8-page, tedious assignment by 3.05PM!!!!!!!!!! yay! i was soo excited...i DID IT! oops i did it again...xD i was so excited knowing that God helped me once again to achieve the impossible! i completed in 5 HOURS!!!!!

that's e kind of life i like. =) this is wad life is all about, being e head and not e tail, above and nt beneath :)

thats not all...!

i didnt know MEL at lvl6 closed at 3pm!!!! by e time i reached there to print my proposal it had been closed...! :( fear gripped my heart. but i told myself, God has not given us a spirit of fear! fear left and once again, i believed God for the impossible!

and true enough...15 minutes later...one of the IT guys came and i was surprised. he asked me wad i was doing there? i told him i came to print but i didnt noe it closed at 3...(it was already 3.15-13.20pm). then he said, "you're lucky man, i 'so happen' to come back to get something...i can let u print..".....at once i was soooo moved....THANK YOU JESUS! i almost jumped for joy :) i almost screamed in excitement! God came back for me, when i needed Him!!!!!!!!! thank you soooooooo much....:) i knew it was not a coincidence, but a God-incident. PRAISE GOD! i submitted it BEFORE 5pm!!!!!

if it were coincidences, ever wondered why coincidences happen whenever i pray? xD

Overnight Prayer Meeting

after i submitted my assignment i rushed home to change, report to church B4 audi by 6pm for my first day as CHC soundcrew! yay! :) it was exciting....but TOUGH!!!!! yes, TOUGH! lolx...was in lvl4 helping out with BS and all. moved A LOT! lol tiring, but fun. man i must admit, e moment Pastor Ting came in for BS, i became nervous...tense....stressed lol. but must thank e brother from Sound for helping me :) finished at 1030pm, not say finished but i told them i had to go for OPM cuz it starts at 11pm.

i was told to stay and help out at till 1pm but i told myself no. the church needs my prayers, esp at such a critical time as this. yes, we prayed for e building fund. we prayed for 15.5million dollars to be raised in 6 months.

in 2-3 yrs we are gonna have our 7000 seater stadium, centrally located, in e marketplace, for e marketplace to penetrate e marketplace! so many things going on, out new building at jurong west st74, moving to EXPO and our new stadium. but all e sacrifice is worth it :) with our stadium, not just hundreds but THOUSANDS can enter e kingdom of God EVERY WEEK! the public has its eyes on us, everyone is talking abt CHC, and some of them say CHC will never make it, e revival is only temporary, but no, its nv been all e while. when we moved to JW they say we will close-shop, but we grew even bigger.

all this while, it started off with 20 youths hungry for God to now 18000 members. its not a coincidence, its not luck, and as long as there are unsaved people in singapore, CHC is not big enough :) indeed every God-plan is unstoppable, always increasing xD when we have our stadium, everyone is gonna move together...and we'll grow even bigger...to 30000-50000 members! :)

wad we really want is not the numbers, or the most exciting/biggest church, but wad we want is more of God in our lives, we want His presence, His power, we dun just want e numbers...but we want true disciples!

we want people who are serious with God, people who are willing to lay down their lives for Him. and to fulfill the great commission. to love GOd wholeheartedly and love people fervently...xD

Apart from these 2 encounters i got another one during OPM and one during cg today. but this post is not enough to contain it...hahahaha. today i got encounter again during celgrp.

k ba, late now, need to sleep now...tom got svc. ;) ill post e 2 encounters tom...hehe....sorry ah...xD my life's is jus getting too exciting now even my blog cannot contain it lol!!!!

"You and you, you have received the amount, make sure that you fulfill wadever amount God has placed in your heart"....THEN..."as for you and you (me), even though u have not received an answer yet, continue to seek God...".
