Dreams
My apologies for the long period of no-new-updates. My internet failed on me, it was only back yesterday. Not a bad thing, though. I could better concentrate on my studies. Great, midyear exams have ended. :D
On Wednesday, i had a earring pierced through my shoe and into my left foot in school. Ouch, that was really painful ! It caused my foot to swell and i was limping for two days. At first I was blaming whoever who dropped that hazardous superman earring, but God reminded me later about 'Dreams'. Yes ! On Saturday Pastor was just talking about the 6th time Jesus shed blood; it was when the nail pierced his foot onto the cross. Imagine, a tinyweeny earring can hurt my foot so much, what about the huge nail which pierced Jesus ? It must be a thousand times more painful than mine.
Oh well anyway, it was such a coincidence ! Then, i realized that i'm not fulfilling my dreams through God. It had always been only about me, me and my own interest. I'm depending on myself too much that my yoke became a heavy burden. So, i just want to affirm all of you that God is here. Let Him carry your heavy yoke, and He will give you His which is light and easy. And remember, dream dreams for God !
Thanks for the prayers, my foot's all well now. I can run and jump. Everything happens for a purpose. All praises goes to God !

God answers prayers
Hey guys...
It's been a super siong weekend for all of us, rushing from party after party like 'pao3 ge1 tai2' like that. (wahh my language has become super 'cui') Lol.
Anyway, i believe all of us are physically tired, but praise be to God! I know seeing our cell members rise up, seeing salvations upon salvations, are really food to our soul...and inwardly we are being renewed day after day.
Von and i were on the train today and i saw a random man's bag with the word "REVIVAL" on it. I know God is reminding us that revival is truly here...not because we're laboring physically, but because we fought the battle on our knees.
Just wanna share that i'm really v encouraged by my cell members...
Found out yesterday that J and E actually fasted together for their friends to come. And i remember last week's altar call they went down to pray that their fruit would not be prematurely stolen by the devil (friends invited would not back out). I didn't tell them, but i was so touched deep inside. I know God is doing a great work in and through them. Miraculously, both of them brought like 8-12 friends each. And many of them responded to God.
G and P also had spiritual obstacles...camps and matches and events that clashed last minute with the parties. And they struggled...but chose to put God above these things and come nonetheless. Put in a lot of effort making intricate doorgifts, meeting up to buy things and plan.
Even though i've shared my testimony for so many times i'm starting to get sick of it...and watched Suz's video so many times i can act it out...Somehow, at every party, i feel touched by God's love all over again. Touched by the video i've seen again and again. Amazed by the lives that God has transformed. Awed by the sacrifice He chose to make for us on the Cross.
And when i see raised hands, open palms during altar calls...especially the one at Von's house...i still remember that tears were swimming in my eyes.
IT'S ALL WORTH IT.
To see souls saved. Broken hearts healed. Lost sheep find their way to the Shepherd.
It's a thankless job. People might even shun or mock you for it. But it is our calling. To preach the gospel to the ends of the world until every person in this world come into His Kingdom.
Let's persevere on...for the work we're doing has eternal significance. We're not laboring for fame that comes and fades away, or wealth that can be robbed away anytime. But our treasures are in heaven.
ALL HEAVEN REJOICES OVER THE SALVATION OF ONE SOUL.
I can just imagine, Heaven must be super noisy and chaotic now.

Happy Easter
Thank God for the salvations and open hearts at the TGIF parties ! I believe there will be more. And thank God for His presence with us. :)
Sermon yesterday was about the first time Jesus shed blood on His way to Calvary. Jesus was at His crossroad, making the last decision to die for us, humanly. Though He knew how painful it would be to pay the price, He decided to do the will of God and not His. At the moment of extreme stress, blood oozed out from His pores together with perspire. How great is the love of our Savior, that He would carry the cross which was initially ours to bear !
Today i sort of experience what Jesus had went through. I totally empathize with Him, the kind of pain you know you will go through beforehand, it is really painful. But i know whatever comes is not within my control, God is in control. I will do His will, for i know it will bring me the genuine joy and not one that last only for a short moment. So i ask of you, who are too, at your crossroad, to surrender everything to God for He has great plans for you. And when you do the will of God, He will grant you your heart desires. Happy Easter.

We were the reason
I know it's not Christmas yet. Somehow this song started playing in my mind. It reminds me of how much Jesus has done for us. So, let Jesus be the reason for us to live and breathe, everyday of our lives.

Let's PUSH
Pray Until Something Happen
Good Friday's just round the corner. Have you started inviting your friends ?! Please do ! In the process of planning the TGIF parties, there may be difficulties you face, but do persevere on and seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. For as we are planning, the devil is having some tricks up his sleeves to destroy our plans. Please keep the TGIF parties and your fellow friends in prayer, even those who have rejected your invitation, keep praying for them, and claim all of their salvations by FAITH !
Here's a short prayer for all:
Dear God,
I thank you for the upcoming TGIF parties. Let us not forget the meaning of Good Friday and treat the parties as a chore, but let us find contentment in serving You. Put in us more compassion and love for the lost, like how You love us. Use us, Father, to shine like stars for You and bring forth Your kingdom on earth, and when the world sees us, they will see the glory of God. I ask of Your arms of protection to be upon all of us, keep us away from the devil who is here to tear us down. I proclaim victory for each and every TGIF parties, and there will be lots of salvations ! Thank you Jesus. :)
In the name of Jesus,
AMEN ! (Hello some-bar-dy ?!)
Good night fellows. Have a good week ahead. God bless you. :)

Excitement
Hey people, here's something to share with you today:
This week is extremely tiring, a lot of things are going on in my life. Truthfully, I haven't been spending my time with God. Oh well, God convicted me just now. You know, God feels hurt when we neglect Him and place our own pleasures above Him, just like how some of us feel sometimes, He totally empathize with us. He isn't under any obligations, He loves us unconditionally. He wants to spend time with each and every one of us and bond a closer relationship with us.
Also, as I was listening to some worship songs, the love of God fell upon me, refilling the emptiness in me. God's love is unconditional, so perfect and real, no one can ever love such as how He does. My dear brothers and sisters, don't hesitate to run to Jesus. He's welcoming us with open arms !
Oh ! And I really look forward to G12 Conference tomorrow ! Meanwhile, let us keep the TGIF parties and the people we're inviting in prayer. Do claim their salvation by FAITH. START INVITING ! Let's be fired up for Jesus ! God bless your week. :)

"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:14-17
Let us be people with faith that is made complete by what we do. : )
