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
