Great service, lousy laptop :x
service was great! and yea, i finally update. and i wont be for the next few days...no....not bcos of exam, but bcos of a TOSHIBA laptop dat has lots of experience and is gifted in e area of breaking down at the right times. ^_^
now...to get back on track...i really like what pastor Tan said, "Disappointment is like a seed. It grows downwards and rootens itself inward in ur heart before manifesting itself outside. That is why you dont see the effects until it is too late. That is why we have to deal with disappointments, resentment, bitterness, etc, before it is too late."
here are the notes:
Stay your course; Finish STRONG in God
-prov 19:21
-purpose is the original intent of the Creator for the creation.
-purpose is in the mind of the Creator. that is why we dont look for our purpose in people or in the world. even if we do find it, you only find it failing.
-the world may pass away but God's words will never pass away. -> anything not from God will not last because God didnt SPEAK it out.
-Everything God placed in your life, e.g. education, career, friends, etc is jus a means to an end. for example, money is just simply a means to an end.
-Idolatry is when you do not focus on God but on these/the means.
-your destiny is your destination
-your destination is your purpose
-jer 29:11, 12-14; rom 8:28-30
-'foreknew' = 'fore'(before) + 'knew'(knowledge')
-before u were born, before time began, God had already created you in Christ's image and likeness...to be conformed to His image and likeness.
-THEREFORE, anything less than Christ is below its conformity. -> God WANTS us to be like His Son in every way!
-God created you with glory in His mind, like His Son. He saw you the way He saw His Son.
-phi 2:13
-God will give you the DESIRE and the POWER to do that which PLEASES Him.
e.g. the desire the prosper and be a blessing, the desire to heal e sick, etc.
-Whatever God calls for, He also provides for. Whatever God has started, He will ensure its completion!
-God begins with the end in mind before starting to work in your lives. -> This is what it means to have a vision/dream.
-We CAN operate in faith the way God operated in!
-The purpose will NEVER change, but somewhere along the way, the plans/means WILL change. -> Life is never smooth sailing, its always bumpy.
-Predestination is knowing where you are going and where you'll end WITHOUT knowing how you'll get there.
-Our entire lives is like a flight from birth to our destiny.
-We have the ticket (our destination, in God of course), but really...we will never move UNLESS we step into the plane. And the Pilot is the Holy Spirit.
-There WILL be turbulences, we WILL be disappinted, but in times like these, we should fasten our seat belts, fight the good fight of faith and TRUST the Pilot. -> we dun go crashing into the cockpit and demand that we steer the plane outselves. (DONT hijack your own life, and dun try to be smart and fly the plane if u dont know how to).
-The Holy Spirit, your pilot, has a flight plan for your life.
-Dont try to create your own flight plan.
-Disappointments can hijack your life
-Disappointment = Expectation - Reality (difference)
-Disappointment -> Resentment -> Bitterness
-Heb 12:15-17
-Any seed grows downwards and rootens inward before manifesting outwardly
-disappointment can overshadow your life. -> eventually it develops a care-less attitude.
-overshadow = exceed in importance.
-Cure for bitterness: FORGIVENESS
-forgiveness shld be given freely, as a gift, not a reward where u expect people to earn it! Its called grace.
-How to forgive freely and abundantly? Its easy to forgive over and over when e situation is valuable to you. -> in other words (e.g. if a relationship is not valuable to you, its hard to forgive. thats how u tell genuine relationship apart ;))
-luk 17:1-6; 7-10
-one thing the Bible claimed impossible: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT YOU WONT BE OFFENDED...its a SURE GUARENTEE.
-You need faith to forgive, faith in the person tt he/she will change. Forgive just as God forgave u. Because He had faith that you will change, and bcos He values His relationship with you. =)
