AnB pledging weekend

service was just phenomenal.

all of us gave our 6month pledge to build God a great house. no more moving in value, but its time to move from value to the priceless, to the precious!

God didnt ask abraham for his possessions and lands..He asked for the one thing that was precious to him, Isaac. But just before abraham was about to thrust the knife into Isaac, God stopped Him. after that, God knew that Abraham indeed truly loved God more than anyone or anything else. "Blessing i will bless you and multiplying i will multiply your descendents as the sands of the seashore and as the stars in e sky...."

"he who blesses you will be blessed. he who curses you will be cursed and in you all the families on the earth shall be blessed."

solomon gave his precious..when the people gave 1 spotless lamb, he gave a thousand..then God blessed him with overflowing that the next offering once again, he gave his precious, this time, 20,000 lambs and more. (have to recheck the figures). and just by giving the precious, not only did he become the wisest man, he became the richest man of his time.

when joseph's brothers came to him to buy grain, he sold them grain, but he told them if they wanted to buy more the next time, that they had to bring Benjamin.

Benjamin was their family secret, Jacob had already 'lost' Joseph, Benjamin was all he had left. But when they moved from the valuable to the precious, not only did they receive SACKS of grain, they went back in CARTS and WAGON-loads of grain, not only enough to feed their family, but the ENTIRE NATION!!!

God doesnt just want you to be blessed, He wants you to be a BLESSING! freely u have received, freely give!

a woman was about to have her last meal with her son, and Elijah came. in the midst of a drought and famine. and asked the woman for that piece of bread which was her last meal. it was the most precious thing to her and her son. but she gave. and in return not only did they received abundantly, but they had MORE than enough to feed her entire family, for her ENTIRE LIFETIME!

last of all, Jesus Himself gave that which was the most precious to Him, His life. He lived a blameless, sinless, spotless perfect life. He became sin so that we through Him can receive the righteousness in God and eternal life.

"I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". this verse has always been evident in my life. God always does exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or imagine. God is not limited, neither is He a cheapo, there is no lack or scarcity in Him, He is ElShaddai, the God of MORE than enough.

arise and build is the time when the TRUE DISCIPLES are differentiated from the rest. because only the committed only those who truly love God will be there to pledge.

we are a bunch of people who dont tolerate nonsense. if u MIA, we'll call u, we'll check on ur attendance for service, BS and PMs, etc. if u wanna live a slack, uncommitted, visionless, purposeless, those with a 'cant be bothered' attitude, irresponsible, unaccountable, convenience-based life, undisciplined character and attitude, then CHC is not for you. its not a place for just believers, its not a place just where you are being spoonfed 'milk', its a place for DISCIPLES who want to grow and to mature and do great things for God that will leave behind a legacy!

people come and people go, but only the best will stay. :D

if u wanna be a child of God, then be the BEST. i like wad ps said, "if Jesus is not your Lord of all, He is not your Lord at all." God is interested in details. What God wants is your whole life. Little become much when placed in the Master's hands.

it's not what you believe, but WHO you believe.

im really excited to see the new building. where literally TENS of THOUSANDS of people can come together at a central place to worship God. where more missionaries can be trained, where lives can be changed and where the marketplace will be penetrated and changed for the glory of God. like ps kong, i can see 100,000 members, or even 300,000. if Ps Dr Cho can have 95x,xxx in seoul, korea, what more we who live in a technologically advanced country!

you will never give the precious, until you see the harvest. "For the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising its shame..and now is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.."

God is indeed raising up a new generation of young people, that have the faith to believe God for the best. the attitude of giving and sacrifice and conviction and commitment. a generation that will take Asia for Christ and a church that is making a difference not just locally, but regionally and globally.


THOUGHTS

oh yea, we finally got our new DVD sampler. its amazing. it really helps my daily devotion.

after service went to bedok for dinner and fellowship. Buying nasi lemak have never been so heartpain before..hahaha..

ive nv reached home so early either. lol.

feeling a couple of mixed emotions right now. with school and others. sometimes u forgave someone for something, but somehow the hurt and scar is still there. and whenever u see tt person ull just feel so weird..i just cant bring myself to be myself anymore whenever e person is around..

its like an 'auto-closing' mechanism on the inside..i cant seem to bring myself to ever face the person ever again..

with others i can be myself, happy, laughing and open, then its like all of a sudden, that auto closing mechanism on the inside will suddenly close up when a particular person is around..and i become someone totally different.

God, i need You, im at a deadend..take all of me in exchange for all of You..
