Eagles In The Storm
Jan 27 2006 04:00AM

Eagles in the Storm

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us... and all of us will experience them... we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward Jesus.

The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure, and disappointment into our lives. We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them. The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on the wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:31.

You Are A: Lamb!

Peaceful and gentle, lambs have been used in religious imagery for millennia. Lambs are baby sheep, an animal tended by shephards since the dawn of history. As a lamb, you tend to stay together in a flock and graze on grassy land. Lambs don't mind being led and tend not to go off on their own.

You were almost a: Chipmunk or a Duckling
You are least like a: Parakeet or a Monkey What Cute Animal Are You?

2005-09-04T21:45:00.000+08:00

usher ministry had a new "makeover" the gai(3) ke(2) so-called..
today had a briefing by e head as well as pastor. hah.. double annointing.. someone was jus sharing to us on the way back... cos not many ministry meetings or briefing requires pastor's presence.. heh.. had a mini presentation. each usher was given a personalised name tag, to be worn on duty. sounds cool right.. design also quite arty... think it's really quite an idea to have personalised name tags...

pple re-shuffled, new ppl on board, new responsibilities taken...

jus hope that every member will continue to serve his/her best and let others see that ushering isnt jus shake-hand-and-give-phamplet ministry!

it's a 3 fold mnistry. To God, to pastor and to worshippers!

farewell

2005-06-24T01:54:00.000+08:00

i was preparing something for my dear fren now. in fact , i am writing a letter to her.
as i was writing , i began to recall the times how we met, how we spend our times together, how we helped each other.. kinda of some appreciation letter lah.. tears flowed and i cried.. realise how she meant to me, so dear to me. now, she's leaving.. for good.. i will definitely miss her.. began to think of her goodness. she's like my "spiritual mother" taking good care of me..

the more i think, the more i want to cry..

that's wat i wrote in e concluding paragraph:

"Dear Sister, I want to take this chance to show my appreciation to you. I really believe you are the heaven-sent sister to me from our Father in Heaven. Good times always must come to an end; I believe you have a greater calling from God. As you follow His ways for you, I pray that you will rise up to another greater heights and always be serving with joy. May the peace and God’s covering be with you always and forever. May this sisterly tie be as strong as the love our Heavenly father have for us. You will always be in my prayers and I will miss you."

she is none other than WENYI.

The Greatest Love

The Greatest Love

What's the Origin of this Phrase?
"Love thy neighbor" is a term that's become almost clichéd over the years. But where did it originate, and what does it really mean? In a time when neighbors, at least in America, are people we rarely see (thanks to garage door openers and busy lives), or are thought of as nuisances with barking dogs and noisy children, how can we possibly love our neighbors?

Christ's Answer to Religion
Love thy neighbor was, in part, Jesus' answer when the Pharisees, the chief religious sect of that day, asked Him about the greatest commandment in the Law (See Matthew 22:36-40). These religious leaders had made almost an art form of classifying all the various laws and giving them relative degrees of importance, so in asking Jesus this question, their aim was to test Him. His answer stunned them: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Jesus was summing up all the law in these two statements. If we love the Lord God with all our heart, soul and mind, loving our neighbor is the natural result. The question then is, who is our neighbor, and how do we love him or her?

Let's look at who Jesus says our neighbor is: You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. (Matthew 5:43)

Is our neighbor more than the guy next door? Could he or she be someone in our community or almost anyone we meet? Could our enemies also be our neighbors? Jesus says that it's so. But how can we love someone who acts hatefully toward us?

When we love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, we grow to recognize that everyone is part of His creation. Will everyone be in heaven? No, but that's not because God doesn't desire that to be the case. His Word tells us that God desires that all would be saved (1Timothy 2:4). So it's clear that God sees all of us as potential children. Because He lives outside of time and has seen the end from the beginning, He also knows who will choose salvation and who will not. For us, that is where faith comes in. It is not for us to know who will choose Him and who will not, but we are called to be His witnesses. In order to fulfill that calling, we must love others enough to desire their salvation just as He does.

Here's the good news for those who find this teaching difficult: Nowhere does it say we have to like our neighbor!

As for the how part of this formula, we turn to these words from the Apostle Paul. In Romans 13:8-10, Paul says:
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Get to Know Jesus"Love thy neighbor" is not as hard as it looks on the surface. It simply means respecting others and regarding their needs and desires as highly as we regard our own. Keeping this commandment, however, is likely to require the supernatural assistance only God, through Christ, can provide.

How can we learn to love the guy next door with the barking dog, especially when we don't even like him? Perhaps the secret is to recognize that our neighbor, whether it's the guy next door, the checker at the local grocery store, or the Sunday school teacher at church, is someone as worthy of God's love as you or I. In The Message paraphrase of the Bible, John 1:14 is expressed as follows:

The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.

Could it be that the way we love our neighbor is through getting to know Christ, the living Word of God? It's human nature to emulate those we admire most, so in getting to know Christ, we'll discover a God worthy of our whole-hearted love, and our neighbor will see that love in us.

i'm back

2005-06-20T17:22:00.000+08:00

returned from church camp!

wudnt say i'm spiritually recharged; but to me, it was more than a reminder.
reminding me that harvest time is here
reminding me that no one is too inefficient to spread the word
reminding me that God still loves me
reminding me that i shouldnt take HIs love for granted
reminding me that Jesus did not die for nothing
reminding me that i should grow up

other than the reminders, i asked God for more of His anointing, more of His word, more of His fire....

i served- ushering, as well as leading the devotion passage for the 1st time.
reluctant towards this. felt inadequate, felt i cant lead them..
but God sent His ppl to help me.. u know who u are.. thanks for that!

during the church camp:
received many missed calls. dunno from who. but felt it was e replies from the various companies. immediately log on to check emails and interviews are coming.

met jac! my roomie! she's so lovely... really! this new found fren.. met her few times back but din really interacted with her. cos i scared!! anyway the fellowship was good...

took alot of pict.. haven load to site...
busy with anotehr BIg project... for a dear of mine...

2005-06-06T13:24:00.000+08:00

while i was clearing my stuff, saw an envelope tat was chunked aside for 1 yr... from MOE.. an application form for relief teaching.. i applied 1 yr ago but did send out.. out of curiosity, went to moe.edu.sg and check it out..
1 yr before they use paper..
1 yr later they use online application..

i went to apply... jus wanna familiarise myself with teaching b4 taking considering it as a career, i thought....

desperate for job

2005-06-03T16:07:00.000+08:00

today send out application for the marketing communicatons executive.. the job details sounds "routine"- sourcing, coordinating, planning.. seems the kind of job i want (i hope! it sounds like the seminar tt i'm involved previously)

some say i dun haf e "engineer" look... some say i got "teacher" look.. sometimes i really dunno wat i wan.. jus wanna secure myself with a job right now! to a pt that the mentality of "jus*grab*watever*that*comes" kept bugging me; yet deep inside i do hope that God will really provide me with a job that i am capable of!!!! haiz.... really hate it when pple tell me "wah.. u know that daughter of who & who got a job after graduation..."

sometimes i envy others...

sometimes i question when will it come....

sometimes i complain why is it so long....

sometimes i do lose hope, sometimes i do give up...

sometimes i let my thoughts run wild...

but God says..

Wait patiently my dear child...

How tough He was..

Preparation for Greatness

Wednesday, June 01, 2005by Os Hillman

He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. ~ 2 Samuel 22:35

David was a mighty warrior, and God described him as a man after His own heart. God took David through a training ground that could be looked on as cruel and unusual punishment by many a person. God chose him at a young age to be the next king, yet King Saul rejected him and hunted him down. David was a fugitive for many years. He had uprisings in his own family, and he had relationship problems. He had a life of extreme ups and downs. He certainly did not have a life free of problems; he made mistakes. He was human like all of us, yet he learned from his mistakes and repented when he failed. This was David's training ground; it made the man. Without these hardships, it is doubtful David would have accomplished what he did.
Toward the end of David's life, he recounted his relationship with God. It is a sermon on God's ways of dealing with a servant leader.

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me Your shield of victory; You stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn (2 Samuel 22:33-37).

God was David's source for everything. God gave him the ability to achieve the many extraordinary things in his life. It was a lifelong training ground that moved him from one plateau to another, often dropping into a ravine of despair and hopelessness from time to time. These are God's ways. They drive us deeper and deeper into the heart of Him who has prepared a way for us. Let God take you to the heights or depths He desires for you. He never promised smooth sailing during the trip, but He did promise to be the captain and companion along the way.

2005-05-12T21:05:00.000+08:00

last week cell group was on devotion.

for those who dun haf a consistent devotion, here are some ways to help u:

expect something great from God each day! Ps 63: 1-2

reverance, not taking God for granted. Habakkuk 2:20, Ps 89:7

give God your full attention. BE ALERT!!!dun get distracted when spending time with God.

lastly, willingness to obey God's word.....

suppose to pair up with one member to remind each other of the importance of devotion. something like spiritual partner.. (those were the days in T*******)

AND......

my partner is auntie siew kheng.. heh...

jus now she called.we prayed. we shared abt our devotion, our family, our life. know then i know she is same age as my mom.. heee...

Four Attributes of a Life God Blesses

Friday, April 15, 2005by Os Hillman

So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed." ~ Isaiah 28:16
Whenever God calls us into a consecrated life, it is made up of four distinct stages. Christ often compared this process to building a house. First, we must prepare to build by laying a foundation. That foundation is none other than Jesus Christ Himself. Any foundation other than Christ will not stand.
Second, as we enter a walk of faith with God, He allows each of us to experience trials, testings, miracles, and challenges in life that are designed to provide "faith experiences" that demonstrate tangible evidences of His work in our life: Moses' burning-bush experience, Peter's walk on the water, Joshua's parting of the Jordan River. These experiences built the faith of these people. The depth and width of our calling is directly proportional to the faith experiences He allows in each of our lives. If God plans an international ministry with you, chances are you will experience a higher degree of faith experiences compared to another. The reason being, you will need to look on these to ensure your calling and provide testimony to His work in your life.
The third stage deals with motives. "All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord" (Prov. 16:2). What is the motive behind my actions? Is it only financial accumulation? Is it to gain control? Is it to create independence? The primary motive must be God's leading you to take such an action - it must be obedience. These other factors must be by-products of the decision.
Finally, we are prepared to take action. Here we must ask, "Do we have the skill, quality, and ability to enter into this activity?" So often we have not trained ourselves adequately to be successful in our endeavor. You would never want someone working on your teeth who had not been trained and certified as a dentist.
Before you begin your next project, ask yourself these four questions. What is the foundation this project is based on? What experiences has God demonstrated in my life that indicate His involvement? What is my motive for entering this activity? Do I have the skill, quality, and ability to accomplish the task? Answering these questions will tell you whether God will bless your activity.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

2005-04-15T10:10:00.000+08:00

last night. his bday. he din had much celebration cos she had no surprise for him. he worry for his rashses. she upset abt her lost bag, which went missing at ECP. he looked tired and anxious. he went home shower after camp. she tagged along. after which both went to marina food court had dinner and went for a walk. went to esplanade and chat. she prayed for him. at 940pm, she handed him a card which she wrote in the morning and lunch time. he thanked her. then he send her home. a simple birthday "celebration"...

********************

the gal wanted to get present for him but she got no time. cos e past sun she had to report loss of belonging as well as grandma's 70th bday celebration. she promised to get him a belated gift. wat shall she get?
silly ideas contributed by ppl:
* wrapped the gal into a big box *
* give the guy a muack *

*******************

MY prayer for You is that You will not give up hope. Trust in Him in this area of your life. Believe that God is the Healer and He will definitely remove them!!!!

************************

easter friday had past; today my "Rest" day to prepare myself to run tmr... have another easter celebration at GWC so whoever who jus read this today..u are invited!!!

many comments for the drama was good, most say different from last yr's, make up were scary, of cos technical faults came... well i say we all did our best to put up this show for the lOrd... while i was taking care of e props behind stage, jus reminded of how i felt when i took up this responsibility...

initially: i feel pressured cos i din expect wat are e props & costume to be used for easter (i was otld last yr there isnt any props ic so i was jus "headhunt" by ppl)

during e stages of rehearsing: i was complaining!! haa.. cos this took up 2 days in a week, and every rehearsal i sit at one corner and see them rehearse.. plus i jus started my temp job and was coughing tt time & had always wanted to go home and nua... my presence was made known only when the whole rehearsal ended..... haa.. i complain alot right??!!?!!?!

FDR: i was needed!! to see them had their props n costumes ready... every props are there at every scene.. hmm.. like a busy bee.. plus couldnt get certain make-ups and masks from supplier... panic stage!!!

well after so many months of involving in this rally, was quite blessed in a way cos it really make me not to take JEsus for granted.. for all He had suffered on e cross, the pain, the whip, the torture... always got e crying feeling whenever i see jas being beaten up.. haa not i pity him but jus imagine 2000 yrs ago, a man died for u on e cross....

like the song on my blog says....

CHOOSE LIFE

A choice is set before you now
Living or dying, blessing or cursing
And now, the time has come around
To turn from your fighting
And rest in His mercy

Chorus:
Choose life that you might live
The life that He gives
He gives you forever
Choose life, the way that is true
From the One who chose you
Your Father in heaven
Choose life

Trust the Lord with all your heart
With all of your soul
With all of your being
Hold on, listen and obey
Surrender your life, into His keeping

And the weight you're under
Will be lifted away
And the world will wonder
What happened here today
When you stand right there and say

directionless???

2005-03-23T08:47:00.000+08:00

Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul. ~ Psalm 143:8

David is the only person in the Bible whom God describes as a man after His own heart. Despite David's many setbacks he continually sought to know and do God's will in his life. Like many of us, his will got in the way of a sinless life.

In the morning hour, David sought to hear from God. I can imagine David sitting on the open deck of his palace looking over the hills of Jerusalem, listening to God. There, in his morning watch, he felt God's unfailing love. He reaffirmed his trust in God. He also understood that the key to knowing God's will lay in spending such moments alone to reflect on what God had done and was doing in his life.

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground (Psalm 143:10).

Sometimes we fall prey to believing that God is not concerned, and that He does not lead us in our work life. We are tempted to think that He leads us in other areas, but not in our daily workplace. The truth is that God is in every aspect of life and desires to direct us.

Do you need direction in your life today? If so, David provides the best example of gaining direction. Set aside the morning hour to draw close to His presence. There, you will sense His unfailing love for you. His direction for your life will be a natural by-product of this time of communion with Him. Ask God to lead you by His Spirit today.

Breathe

2005-03-18T12:05:00.000+08:00

You are my God
Closer to me
Than the air that I breathe

All that I am
Formed by Your words
I’m made in Your hands

Captivated by Your beauty
Drawing close in You

Breathe into my soul
Spirit of God
Filled my life with Your presence
Hide under Your shadow
Dwell in Your secret place
It’s You I long to know

It’s You I long for

You are my song
In my darkest night
I will sing of Your dawn
All of my days
You fill my life
With mercy and grace

Everyday of my life
I will wait on You
In Your presence
My heart and strength renewed
Every moment I live
I will worship You
You’ve saturated my soul
My heart flows
Rivers of living waters

fruitful suffering

Fruitful Suffering
Friday, February 25, 2005 by Os Hillman

..."It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering." ~ Genesis 41:52

Joseph named his second son Ephraim. Ephraim was given to him after he had been delivered from his suffering of 13 years. Joseph said that he named him this because God had made him fruitful in the land of his suffering. Ephraim means "twice fruitful."

Joseph was fruitful in two instances. He was fruitful during his time of adversity and in his prosperity. When God brings us into a time of suffering, it can be a fruitful time. It's rare for us to see the fruit during the suffering period. But know that the roots are going deep into the spiritual soil of our soul because of our pressing in to God during our time of suffering. This is producing a work in our character that cannot be seen until it finishes the process. Such was the case for Joseph.

It was not until several years after such a time of suffering that I began to see the fruit of the trials that the Lord allowed me to experience. How grateful I am to understand some of the "why" that has led to a new life in Him that I would never have had without this period.

Samson had great anointing but lacked character. We see many today who have great anointing yet lack character. But God is rising up Josephs who not only have great anointing for these days but also great character. Suffering produces character.

If you find yourself in a time of suffering, now is the time to press into God. Let your roots grow deeper. Whenever there is a famine, tree roots are forced to drive deeper into the soil to find water. These times are designed to create such a deep-rooted faith that our natures will be changed forever.

yet another article tt somehow related to the godly rewards...

Godly rewards

Godly rewards
Thursday, February 24, 2005 by Os Hillman

You have said, "It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out His requirements and going about like mourners before the Lord Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape." ~ Malachi 3:14-15
Have you ever felt that serving God had little reward and the ungodly seemed actually to be more blessed than you? This is what the people of God felt. God heard their cry and responded through the prophet Malachi to explain God's view on this matter.

Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in His presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name. "They will be Mine," says the Lord Almighty, "in the day when I take up My treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not" (Malachi 3:16-18).

Notice that after the people complained about this, they began to talk to each other, and the Lord listened and heard. God had been taking note of those who were serving Him and honoring Him. There is a day coming in which God will honor His "treasured possessions." We will see that there is a distinction between the righteous and the wicked on that day when "the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall" (Mal. 4:2). What a beautiful picture of what we will feel like on that day.

God rewards faithful obedience. It often requires patience, suffering, and perseverance. Be of good cheer; He will reward you if you faint not.

happy valentine's day

2005-02-15T14:13:00.000+08:00

good morning everybody!!

noon. hot n sunny. can still laze on bed but it;s time to get up.. hmm.. been lethargic n tired for past 2 nites. now body and 4 limbs aching.

WAT ON EARTH HAVE I BEEN DOING??!?!?!

A SPECIAL VALENTINE'S DAY INDEED...

i am helping out with the valentine's day OVERNIGHT flower wrapping at our beloved 2nd home at Upper Thomson Road. for the building of our Harvest Care Centre. for the past 2 consecutive nights,we have been seeing flowers. tulips. roses. fillings and many. got alot to say but i cant think of any words to describe. i shall upload e pictures of the products we accomplised! anyway, got a little surprised.

this was named" One and only" cos red among the white...

this was wat leo gave me. big project of e 1st night. haa. this was wrapped in my presence. of cos i dunno who was this for. cos i was busy wrapping other bouquets as well. but throughout the whole night, wat i heard from jess n rongzhu was tt he was supervising on it. haa.. pauline was doing the "paper blotters" while rongzhu wrapped e whole flowers. it turned out very big n attractive. and many comments just came in." wonder which lucky girl will receive?", "so nice..how i wish i am the one.", "somemore pple special order."...
i said "looks like wedding hand bouquet" haha.... still got alot to say.. hahaa.. but i shall keep it...

read and view on:

i wrapped this myself! i really like this alot. hmm.. was for some outside pple who ordered from us.

this is also another fave of mine. lala wrapped this. it's so sweet...standard is getting there already.

roses emmbedded with greens and white. like this too. rz arrangeed and i wrapped. very nice. Guess who is this for. Clue: as the name suggest.

here comes our tulips! pink and purple. tuplis hard to wrap. cos very fragile. and temperature dependent. it likes cool tempereature. by e time we wrapped finished, it blommed. so it was put in front of e aircon directly, so it can close up.

both bouquets of tulips were for wives of blood brothers in chiruch. guess who?

this one. another special one. besides leo's. this person ordered 12 tulips but in e end we found out tulips weren't enough. so jess called him to ask if can make some replacement. jus pay a bit more.. get white roses instead. initially they wanted to wrap 1 red rose surrounded with white roses but all e red ones withered.. so replace 3 tulips. lala wrapped this "big project"of the night. want to know for who? go ask urself!!

dunno if u all can see the rocher bouquet. this yr's standard quite good, i would say.

other bouquets that we wrapped....

lethargic me! we do left some flowers left after the whole wrapping. most of us grabbed e flowers to bring home. haha.. free mah.. but this spencer keep reminding us " $3 per stalk!" hahaa.. after wash up, i went to deliver the flowers with patrik, to east and central area of sg. i din went up delivered e flowers to recipients personally. wud love to see their reaction but i was tooo tired to move. plus e church van made me nauseous. sat behind cos look after e flowers. hot n stuffy. air con broke down!!!!

hmm... throughout this whole project, i really enjoy myself, though it was tiring. but there's a great sense of satisfaction when u heard ppl said the flowers are nicely wrapped and this really made me happy. not to say the rest involved. guess this further strengthens my "opening of flower shop in old age" desire..... ( hmm i already recruit ppl liao.. rongzhu and jess) hahahaaaa....

took a close up of joanna's sunflower at my room. nice??

INTERESTED IN THE PHOTOS? PLS ASK FROM ME. I SEND U CLEAR ONES. NO DOWNLOADING.

Understanding Your Gift

something i came across while checking email...
relating to spiritual gifts....

Understanding Your Gift

Saturday, February 05, 2005
by Os Hillman

Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:1

In First Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, the apostle Paul is teaching us about the role of spiritual gifts in the Church. He correlates these gifts to a human body, telling us that each person's gift helps the whole Body of the Church. This is such an important principle for us to learn. I must say I learned this principle regarding my own spiritual gift the hard way.

"God will never speak as strongly to you as to someone else," said my mentor to me one day. The statement shocked me. "What in the world do you mean by that?" I argued with him.
"Your spiritual gift of administration/leading is one of the most dangerous gifts in the whole Body of Christ. The reason is that you can see the big picture better than anyone else, and you're so task-oriented that you will run people into the ground getting your project completed because you think you see it so clearly. That is why the best friend you could ever have is someone with a prophetic gift to discern whether the big picture you see is actually the picture God is directing. It is the one gift that can almost stand alone better than any other - at least that is the opinion of the one with that gift."

Oh, how I have learned this lesson the hard way! He was so right. There have been many a church staff destroyed by a person with the gift of administration. During my years as an ad agency owner, I saw how I stressed out my staff because of the tremendous load I put on them with multiple projects. It was so easy for me because the more balls I had juggling, the better I felt. I was oblivious to how my multi-task personality impacted those around me.

Today, I have some special relationships with intercessors and prophetic people whom I depend on for confirmation of direction. I have learned their spiritual gifts of discernment are of great value in determining strategic direction. I have learned that God has placed within each person a spiritual gift that is designed to make the Body of Christ function better for His purposes.

When we discover the spiritual gifts God has placed in those around us, we are better able to see the Body function as a real body-totally dependent on one another. Some of us are more sensitive to God's voice because God has gifted us in that way. Others of us are less sensitive because God wants us to depend on others in the Body for their gifts.

Giving Him the Key

Wednesday, February 02, 2005by Os Hillman

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me. ~ Revelation 3:20

A friend of mine tells the story of an encounter he had with a very important government official - the head of state for a country. In the course of some meetings with my friend, the official came up to him and said, "I perceive that there is a difference between you and me. Is it because I come from a different denomination?" My friend began to explain why there was a difference.

"If you were to come to my home, I would invite you in as an honored guest. As my guest, you would enjoy everything I had in my home. However, you would still be a guest. You would not have the keys to the home, and your authority in that home would be merely as a guest. However, if I said to you that I am turning over my home to you and you now have the keys to my home, I would be your servant with the responsibility to run the home through your counsel and direction." My friend continued, "This is the difference between you and me. I have given Jesus the keys to my home [heart]. You have merely invited Him in to yours as an honored guest."

"How can I do this too?" the man replied.

"All you have to do is invite Him in as the new owner."

The man did this and is now allowing Jesus to rule and reign in every detail of his life.

So often many of us enter a relationship with God that brings us salvation. This is the gospel of salvation. But what God really desires for us is to experience the gospel of the Kingdom. He wants us to experience His power and presence every day of our lives and to see His hand at work in us. This only happens when we give Him the key to our life; He must be more than an honored guest.

Where are you today? Has your life with God been more like an honored-guest relationship, or does He have the key to your life?

jus a thought....

God hears!

2005-01-30T19:52:00.000+08:00

wah.. today helped out in e "behind" scene for e bazaar at HDB hub on tues... din noe had to prepare so many items .. from stock taking to decorations.. from pricing to flyers.. it's a good experience.. majiam like some entrepreneurship hee...

hmm.. truly God has hear my cry... from Fri's pm to Sun sermon. God is speaking to me... transistions!!!
Transistions are stages where God wants to graduate us.

anyway came upon this verse online... hee..

Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. ~ Joshua 1:7

When we live a life of obedience, we begin to experience the reality of God like never before. Wisdom grows in our life. Meaning and purpose are accelerated. In the early Church, the Hebrews gained wisdom through obedience. Later, the Greeks were characterized as gaining wisdom through reason and analysis. Today, we live in a very Greek-influenced Church. Many Christians determine if they will obey based on whether the outcome will be beneficial to them. Imagine if the early Church had adopted this philosophy. No walls would have fallen down at Jericho. No Red Sea would have parted. No one would have been healed. No coins would have been found in the mouth of a fish. Reason and analysis would not have led to making the obedient decision. Trust and obey. Leave the outcome to God.
"what You say, we will do, where You send we will go; never fear, only trust and obey."

today's prayer:
Lord, help my condition, that I will not fear, but that will walk with You all the days of my life and have faith to always trust and obey, and leave the outcome to You. In Your name I pray. Amen.

2005-01-27T11:13:00.000+08:00

uhoo.. after so many days of slacking at home, am back here...
so engrossed with my cross-stitching that i practically sit on my bed from day till nite to finish it up.. still haven finish... tt explains why din online at late nights n blogging as frequent... still get to go out and fellowship with ppl too.. like daphne, lala...

these few weeks been also waitng for replies from various companies.. still not one company call me for interview.. had they forgotten me? or they too busy with new yr preparation alrdy?? nonetheless, still gotta wait and at the same time send out resumes... i will be waiting patiently... for i know God will provide a good job for me...

yest's cell was like some "secrets revealed" kinda session.. haa.. everyone seemde to be sharing the same topic but not for me.. hmm... cant say much la.. cos it's within cell only.. sorry...

few weeks ago, did some spiritual gifts survey thingy... muahhahahaa...
here comes my results:

Spiritual Gifts Strength
Evangelism 12
Prophecy 4
Teaching 13
Exhortation 11
Pastor/Shepherd 13
Showing Mercy 13
Serving 17
Giving 12
Administration 7

Your dominant gifts are Serving, Teaching

The results of your Spiritual Gifts Inventory indicate that your number one dominant gift is SERVING! The Greek word "Diakonia" means to do service. In Acts 6:1 the word is interpreted "ministration." Our word deacon comes from the same Greek word. Actually the gift of serving combines helps and ministering. The word "helps" is used in 1 Corinthians 12:28 and "ministering" in Romans 12:7. As a server you have the Spirit-given capacity and desire to serve God by rendering practical help in both physical and spiritual matters. You enjoy meeting the practical needs of your fellow Christians and the church.

The gift of serving is not the gift God gives you when you cannot do anything else. It is spiritual in nature and as important as any gift in the church. Never think it is anything less; it only becomes less if you do not use it as God intended.

As a server you are the person who is willing to do a million and one necessary tasks in the church. You probably do not realize that your love for the Lord is showing every time the doors of the church are open, especially if you oiled the hinges last week so they don't squeak any more. You are happy working behind the scenes. You are ambitious, often involved in a variety of activities, and enjoy manual projects. You are loyal, sincere, tolerant, faithful, and devoted. Most people find you easy going, likable, congenial, and inoffensive. You can listen to others without being critical. You do not like to be in the spotlight and prefer not to express yourself publicly.

You are quick to respond to needs and impressed with the need to respond when exhorted to serve. Because of this, you find it difficult to say no. You like to support a good leader. Some consider you a workaholic. You tend to emphasize practical needs over spiritual needs.

Be careful that you complete what you start and do not neglect the needs of your own family by trying to meet so many needs in the church or in others' homes. Be willing to read and follow directions in the beginning--not just when all else fails. Because of your quick response, some people think you jump in too fast. Others think you neglect spiritual needs.

Beware of Satan's attack on your gift. He can cause pride because of the work you do. He may cause you to feel insignificant or cause you to lack concern for people or for spiritual growth. Impatience and lack of knowledge cause poor-quality workmanship.

HOW CAN YOU USE YOUR GIFT?

Your gift may put you into action. You may serve as manager of maintenance and grounds. You can do may tasks such as paint the walls, pick up trash, sort hymnals, clean the baptistry, keep the nursery?or launder nursery bedding, cook meals, paint signs, drive the bus, help with the choir, run errands, serve as an audio-video worker, help with recordkeeping, be the church librarian, act as a greeter or an usher, serve as a stage hand in drama productions or as a photographer. You may want to help in special ministries such as migrant or community help (with home repairs or meal-on-wheels for the needy and elderly), as a hospitality worker for newcomers, or as an instrumentalist. You may also enjoy beautifying the church ground with flower gardens and landscaping. The list goes on.

The results of your Spiritual Gifts Inventory indicate that your second dominant gift is TEACHING! The Greek word for teacher "didaskalos" means master, teacher or doctor. As a teacher you are one who communicates knowledge, guides, makes known or relays facts. You are likely more in-depth than the average Sunday school teacher. You have the Spirit-given capacity and desire to serve God by making clear the truth of God's Word with accuracy.
As a teacher you live to learn and teach (or perhaps write if you teach through the written medium). You should learn to teach in two manners which may be contrary to your nature. The material must be simple so students can understand it, and it must be practical. The pastor/shepherd, the prophet, and the exhorter (those with speaking gifts) usually rely on your resources to help fulfill their responsibilities.

You love the Word, enjoy reading, may be a little shy of strangers, are creative and imaginative, and prefer teaching groups over individuals. You are generally confident, self-disciplined, and sometimes technical. You probably love charts, graphs, and lists. You would sometimes rather just do research, but "must teach" because others would not teach it the way you would. The use of a verse out of context upsets you and you question the knowledge of those who teach you. You are organized and enjoy studying. You are so concerned with accuracy that you often dwell on the trivial, giving others the feeling that you give too many details. Some may even think you are boring.

Be careful that you are not critical of people who differ with your doctrine and that you do not measure other people's spirituality by their amount of Bible knowledge. Be willing to listen as well as talk. Don't hesitate to read directions and work on developing tolerance for others' mistakes.

If you score high in the gift of teaching and very low in the gift of shepherding, you probably won't make a good Sunday school teacher or group leader. Your tendency will be to relay knowledge and not shepherd or minister to the other needs of your students. People who use the gift of teaching in vocational service usually become teachers of teachers, professors, authors, or in-depth researchers.

HOW CAN YOU USE YOUR DOMINANT GIFT?

You do not necessarily have to teach the Bible to be a help to the church ministry. Although you can help with interpretation or teaching teachers and others, you may teach in areas such as education, business, finance, or computers. You may enjoy writing and developing curriculum. You would probably serve well as a Bible institute teacher or a correspondence course instructor. Your gift also lends itself to the mission field where you could serve as a missionary/teacher. You may want to teach a basic doctrine course to newcomers or new Christians or host quarterly small group studies on different topics. You may enjoy doing research for the pastor or others who teach.

final note: those in blues are very me.. true right? the rest i have re-digest a little.. esp the teaching one ....

today's prayer:
God, thank you for all You do and all You have given and continue to give. Please help me to have a servant spirit and to be a faithful steward of all You have entrusted to me. I pray that You would give me grace today to walk through the tests ahead victoriously--that I may prove a faithful servant and a godly witness. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Wat to do with loneliness

2005-01-12T10:53:00.000+08:00

last night was reading passion and purity and came across this, which it really blessed me and speak to me in a way....

WhAt To Do WiTh LoNeLiNeSs...

how can i best handle this time, where u are experiencing separation and loneliness right now??

1. Be still and know that He is God.

when one's lonely, too much of stillness seems to be wasting your soul. Why not use this stillness to quieten our hearts before God? Knowing more of Him, understanding more of Hin? God's still in charge. Remember that you are not alone... He's still with you
"The lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged." Deut 31:8

Do not fear nor be discouraged
For the LORD is with you
He's with you
(it's a song, but i forgot the title. anyone tell pls!!! thanks)

2. Give thanks.

in all the situations we are facing now, do not be grumble.
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweights them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 cor4:17-18
for this reason, thank god for everything. this loneliness may be a burden to you but it will be far outweighed by glory...

give thanks with a grateful heart
give thanks to the Holy One
give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His son

3. Do not be in a state of self pity.

REFUSE IT!!! This is extremely powerful to destroy you!!! Give all your anxiety to Him because HE cares.....

4. Accept your loneliness.

this one stage and only one stage on a journey that brings you to GOD; it wil not always last..

5. Offer up your loneliness to God.

surrendering it to God and let Him transform it for the good of others....

6. Do something for somebody else.

there's something u can do irregardless where and who you are. somebody out there needs you. YOU CAN BE AN INSTRUMENT OF GOD'S PEACE, THAT WHERE THERE IS LONELINESS YOU MAY BRING JOY!

yeap... hope it has benefit to those who are facing tough times...

ok folks, update u guys again...

WHY???? being attacked by the devil!! but God is asking me to SURRENDER the past.. a lesson which was learnt few weeks back.. but have i really surrender??? hmm.. seems like most ppl also in a state of fear too....

thanks to the 3 who prayed for me..

The Lord, is my Heavenly Father, and my best friend
He listens and shares my woes, worries and happiness
In Him, i experienced joy, everlasting love, peace, comfort
He is my provider, my strength, my shield
With Him, i know i can be a victor........

two things

2004-11-11T14:20:00.000+08:00

hmmm this sound quite in line with yest cell lesson....
building cisterns on our own that we forsake God- the ruler of our lifes...

cisterns are like some holes digged by ourselves that we wud turn to when we feeling miserable, lousy.. er shld i say like (sai kang) hahahaa.. anyway.. eg like retail therapy, food therapy, television, entertainment like movies...

in order for a change involves 2 things. say if we want to lose weight, we must eat less and exercise more. financial freedom involves cutting wat we spend while increasing the amount we save. Good relationships develop when we listen to others and not talking about ourselves.....
one side of change is negative while the other is positive. both are necessary to transform us from who we are into the person we want to be....

hmm.. 2 things also involved in believing jesus.
need to repent from my own self serving life and believing the good news and follow Him. I've lost something (be it my own bad habits, own desires) but i have gain another thing in exchange-- the love of God..

ya.. whenever i feeling loousy, i turn to food.. hmm.. junks n junks of rubbish.. wun really turn to god... watching tv becomes the substitute of reading bible...

negative & positive. start & stop. decrease & increase. tt's e ingredients we need in order to change, as we throw away our self-life and embrace the Christ- life....
tt's e beauty of knowing jesus, learning how we can change when we r willing to do that 2 things....

today!

holiday mood

2004-11-02T15:05:00.001+08:00

uhoooo

today had my 1st paper.. japanese.. hmm.. it was super duper..... make a guess..
1. tough?
2. okay?
3. easy?
4. tiring?
5. all of the above.

well well.. answer is 5.

let me explain:
1. tough cos i heard pple saying "wah.. die liao.. shit! f*** (i dun meant to hear this word but e guy behind me say until so loud)", "i think my 1st part sure give away!", "i only can po bi my comprehension and composition will helped me to pass"..... for me, i felt it was tough a little bit....
2. okay cos i din face much problem writing but got problem in recalling the various vocabulary i flipped this morning on the train....muahahahaha

3. easy cos... hee.. no tt i clever all wat.. but abt 80% of the kanji i learnt yest came out! THANK GOD! When everyone started to take their pens and turn over the qn paper, started to pray to God. (was taught by gloria) hmm.. i think tt's y i managed to write e katakana n kanji easily... God's at work!!!

4. tiring. it was SUPER tiring cos hafta read those instructions in japanese and figure out wat it means. plus the overflowing comprehension passage made me sleepy... really lethargic... worst still is u dun understand wat it is talking abt after reading... so tt waste another 10 mins to re-read again....

nonetheless, i managed to finish the whole paper. but for some qns, i any how hum dum cos i cant remember the vocabulary....

it's gonna take another 2 weeks to my next paper... i feel like i have finished my semester exams alrdy.. hahaha.. in a state of holidaying.... wandering in my own world...

yest i went to Blk 671 relief. TalentPlus Playgroup. i was there very early. to make sure i wasnt late. got past experience of latecomings.. haha.. cos i cant find e place... anyway.. waited for e assistant teacher to come and open door.. saw alot of my "students" waiting also.. haha.. my students very young leh.. only 19months to abt 2 yrs old. hahaha.. so CUTE!!!! as usual i sat down and play with them.. lego and some plastic el(1) phant(4) (their pronounciation) haha.. made cars for them... wah! got 1 ah boy called me auntie! wah.. then e asst teacher heard and said" no lah.. she not auntie. she is teacher lim" (he must have thought that i am a MAID.) ahahaha.... then e asst teacher jus commented"wah see! they stick to u like super glue alrdy." told stories and sang songs with them.. it was truly a wonderful time... but i must clarify.. i like children but sometimes they are getting on my nerves when they want to do their own way, throw tantrums, cry and shout unnecessary, run here run there.... so kids can also annoy me sometimes....

hmm.. right now am preparing my worship songs for tmr cell..

samui desu.... (cold)

2004-10-28T13:33:00.000+08:00

nice weather yet i m not in study mood today.. been killing my books for the past few days.. preparing for japanese listening n oral.. and electronics.. so today i shall take a break... eat a real good meal.. simple chicken rice set also can.. hmm.. i very easily satisfied rite.. hahaha...someone jus asked me... so is it a good or bad thing?

jus had my japanese oral. though the qns were being taught in class, but guess e environment was different, plus a gan jiong, nervous feeling made e whole oral worse. thru out been thinking wat form to use, how to answer, wat particles to used... brain working too much alrdy... i did answer to e qn she asked but jus dunno if e form of e sentence was constructed correctly.... but ito sensei was good.. made it like a conversational rather than an examinal style... hmm.. as usual, i was laughing thru out... my giggle traits applies......

hmm.. so today gotta know 2 characteristics of ms yufeng:
1. Easily satisfied
2. Giggles alot, or rather laugh too much, or laughing gas... muahhahahahaha......

today jus changed perfume.. haha.. s scent of moonflower.. been using happy heart till e level keep gng down alrdy... hmmm... so decided for e change.. yest e scent of silkpro was so strong even when i got home e scent was still "trapped" inside my nose hahaha..... believe it anot.. : )

nice story

2004-10-21T13:02:00.000+08:00

This story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa.One night I had worked hard to help a mother in thelabor ward; but in spite of all we could do she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator. (We had no electricity to run an incubator.) We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst. Rubber perishes easily in tropical climates. "And it is our last hot water bottle!" she exclaimed. As in the West it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways. "All right," I said, "put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts. "Your job is to keep the baby warm." The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle. The baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died. During the prayer time, one ten-year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. "Please, God," she prayed, "send us a water bottle. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so ple ase send it this afternoon." While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added by way of a corollary, "And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little> girl so she'll know You really love her?" As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say, "Amen?" ! I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything. The Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever received a parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator! Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there, on the verandah, was a large twenty-two pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. From the top, I lifted out brightly colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and! the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas-that would make a batch of buns for the weekend. Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the.....could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out -- yes, a brand-new, rubber hot water bottle I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could. R uth was in the front row of, the children. She rushed forward, crying out, "If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!" Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted! Looking up at me, she asked: "Can I go over with you, Mummy, and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?" That parcel had been on the way for five whole months. Packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child-five months before -- in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it "that afternoon." "Before they call, I will answer!" Isaiah 65:24

Our God really IS . . . AN AWESOME GOD! 1 Minute Prayer This awesome prayer takes less than a minute. When you receive this, say the prayer. That's all you have to do. There is nothing attached. This is powerful. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards

Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength as they learn submission to Your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. W here there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal It!, and break its hold over my friend's life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name.

The cross(send to me by fren)

2004-09-30T13:13:00.000+08:00

THE CROSS

A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord replied, "My son, if you can' t bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish." The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told. Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in." When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.

YOUR CROSS

Whatever your cross Whatever your pain There will always be sunshine After the rain Perhaps you may stumble Perhaps even fall But God's always there To help you through it all Funny how you can send a thousand "jokes" through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twic e about passing it on. Funny, isn't it, when you go to forward this message, how many on your buddy list will not receive it because you're not sure they believe in anything? Funny? No! Sad, and thought-provoking... May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along to everyone on your email buddy list.... I JUST DID!
