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.
