Heart Back

2008-07-08T23:56:00.002+08:00

ha.. here is another encouragement for everyone! :)
well.. that time during my down time.. i came across this christian rap and it really spell the cry in my heart and became my prayer.
so i hope if in our walk if we began to lose heart, let this song be your cry and ask for your heart back..

Heart Back

One thing I want, I want is my heart back
One thing I need, I need is to know that
First love I lost, I lost now way back
Some time ago, I don’t know, it’s just like that
I don’t remember, how lost this first love
I got so busy, I lost my intimacy with Love
I got so busy, where is He, I don’t know Love
God’s love, but I forget and I don’t know why?
I remember those days, when I was sky high
I used to pray, everyday, and it felt so right
But now, I don’t even know where my love went
I need a miracle, man I need a God sent
Angel, to come down and rescue me
From this mess I made, man, this catastrophe
Help me God, I need to get back right with you
I want my heart again, to run hard after You!

One thing I seek, I want to get my heart back
One thing I ask, I ask for that ancient path
Back to the path, the path that I used to know
Down on my face, going down that glory road
Where your glory and Your presence used to touch me
Where your power and Your fire used to burn me
You keep telling me, calling me, come back
Return to Me, come to Me, get your heart back
I don’t know, where I’ll go, where I’m gonna be
I don’t know, all I know, is that I want to see
The light again, all I want to be is Your friend
Oh God, come back, this can’t be the end
I just want to be, right here, with You
In your presence, in your essence, just me-You
Life is beautiful, when I’m here, with You
It’s true, eternal life is knowing You
Knowing You, I wouldn’t trade it for anything
I’m the Bride, You’re the Christ, here’s my wedding ring
You’re all I want, all I need, you’re everything…
Jesus Christ, right here, You’re everything!Put

yo hands in the air, get a soul clap
Come on everybody, ugh, get your heart back
If you lost your first love, and you know dat
Right here, right now, get your heart back

COFFEE OR CUP (Facts of life)

COFFEE OR CUP

hi guys! came across this article and find it intersting so will like to share u all! hope u enjoy it too! :P

" The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect."

* A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. *
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
* Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. *

When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones.
* While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. *

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.
* In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.*
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... Then you began eyeing each other's cups.

* Now consider this:
- Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.
- They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.
- Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee The All Mighty has provided us. Enjoy your coffee !.

"* The happiest people don't have the best of everything.* They just make the best of everything."
1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
5. Leave the rest to The All Mighty.

You are the miracle, my friend;Your life either shines a light OR casts a shadow! Shine a light & Enjoy the Coffee!!!

Joke of the Day

2008-05-26T22:31:00.005+08:00

Hi everyone! Just want to share with you guys something that really blessed me alot. Hope that it will truly bless you as well.

There are 2 persons wanting to go for a trip using the MRT. 1 is a male while the other is a female. When they alighted at Station A, both their fares were at $1. However when they went to Station B, the male was deducted $0.60 while the female was deducted $0.80. Why?

Because Station A is Commonwealth.

To find out how this joke came about. Please feel free to ask around the team who's the originator. =) Have a fun day ahead!

Willingness Of Heart

2008-04-30T00:37:00.004+08:00

Hey guys, once again :D

As we all learnt today in HCGL, having a great attitude is paramount if one wants to be a great cgl or a great anybody for dat matter :) It is one of the qualifications a person must possess :)

And we have learnt dat there are 4 great attitudes one must have amen? Namely, Humility, Positive Attitude, Enthusiasm (Entheos), and last but not least the one which i wanna share about today - WILLINGNESS :D

When we are willing to move in faith, God moves in exponentially greater steps than we can think of or imagine :) [1 Cor 2:9]

As i was reading my bible today, i was reading the book of 2 Chronicles (Jiayou bible reading!). And most of us would agree, dat the Chronicles can be quite a dry task, wat with all those genealogies and wat not. Probably the most number of names ever written in these books in the bible. (Besides the Book of Life haha)

However, you'd be surprised dat even within those seemingly boring names which we would tend to gloss over, you can find a word of revelation. Today, my word of revelation centres around this man called Amasiah, son of Zichri, a great man of war, a mighty man as the bible calls him. He served under the king of Judah Jehoshaphat.

During that time, Israel was in rebellion to Judah and had turned their hearts away from serving the Lord. They degenerated into idolatry, commiting spiritual harlotry under Ahab King of Israel. However, Judah continued to follow the ways of the Lord under Jehoshaphat.

Look at 2 Chro 17:10, 12 -13

10 And the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

12 So Jehoshaphat became increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.

13 He had much property in the cities of Judah; and the men of war, mighty men of valor, were in Jerusalem.

So the kingdom of Judah under Jehoshaphat became really powerful. And he had help from very mighty men.
Look at verse 16 of the same chapter:

16 and next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.

See? This guy Amasiah, not only was he a mighty man of valor, he was the leader/commander of mighty men of valor! 200,000 of some of the best troops of Judah!

How did he attain to such authority and power? It all had to do with the attitude of WILLINGNESS :) The bible says dat he WILLINGLY offered himself to the Lord! Not only was he a man of valor, he was also a man of God!

With a willing attitude, he must have had a lot of faith to lead such a multitude rite? He must also have really relied heavily upon God, praised and worshipped, spent time with God to attain wisdom and understanding and knowledge in order to better command the men under him and also to better serve the king Jehoshaphat rite? :)

So he basically gave himself entirely, wholeheartedly to God, a living sacrifice! So even when other captains were tired from their work or training, after one tiring war campaign after the other, he would still muster up some strength, some time to meet with God everyday in his own QT. He was like David, a man after God's heart.

In the entire chapter 17, you only see this being said of Amasiah. So he must have been one of the most outstanding men, among the great men of Judah then.

Friends, when we humble ourselves and willingly submit to the will of God, when our hearts are teachable, when we avail ourselves, God will take us to heights beyond what we can imagine. The eyes of the Lord run to and fro, looking out for dat man, dat woman whom He can use for His glory.

Today, let dat man or woman be you! It all starts when you say, 'God, i am willing, take me and mould me.' When you have this great attitude, buckle up and hang in there. You're in for a great ride!

2008-04-30T00:01:00.002+08:00

On Monday, some of us visited Moses' church, GK611, and here are some photos to fill those who were not there. :D

Check this out - the carpet is laid in a way such that a cross is portrayed!

It was an eye-opener for most of us I believe. In all, the place is really nice...and everyone of us enjoyed ourselves very much over there! Thank you Moses for your hospitality! :D

2008-04-26T10:42:00.003+08:00

cos i was actually casually talking to johan..
i said "Why not u asked him to give you a free drink..?" =X

after that.. the guy actually asked..
"Do you want a drink? I give to you free."
hmmm.. i was shocked.. cos i didn't even asked for it.. =X

okiez.. i got to say this..
if not later johan and some of you will know that this entry is not complete.. =X

the vendor machine guy wink at me twice..
if i didn't remember wrongly..
once while asking the question..
second time when i rejected it.. but in the end i still took it.. =X

cos whatever you asked.. you shall received.. =P

so dare to ask for what you desire from God..
if you don't ask.. you won't receive it.. =X

so yah.. be blessed wor.. =)

WORDS

2008-04-23T01:16:00.008+08:00

We are created in the image of God, and thus we must be really careful with the way we speaks as it has power within. Looking at God, He did not made nor mould the world into existence.

He SPOKE the world into existence!

In Proverbs, we know that Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Thus there is tremendous power in the words we speak and in the words we express to each other.

Someone once said " A broken bone can heal, but the wound a word opens can fests forever!" Woo this is so true..

let's strive to edify each other with words that are encouraging and of value.
This is especially so for those whose primary love language is words of affirmation.

"Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.") He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.'

The condition of our hearts is revealed trhu the words we expressed with our mouth.

"For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."

May all our speeches and words be always full of grace and seasoned with salt. With whatever that comes forth from our mouth, let it be pleasing and acceptable in the sight our Lord Jesus.

My Revalation While Studying/QT

2008-04-23T00:07:00.006+08:00

Hey guys, just wanna share with you all. While i was studying and QT-ing tonight, i got a revelation while doing one of my HW assignments - writing a short passge or 'Sakubun' 「作文」　as they call it in Japanese :)

The topic is entitled 'Best Friend' 「親友 shinyuu」. So anyway here's the short passage in romanized japanese and also the meaning of the passage below it, so dat u can read and understand how it sounds like:

Watashi wa shinyuu ga inai no desu kedo, totemo ii yuujin ga takusan imasu.
Tokidoki hito wo shinji dekinikui to omoimasu.
Dareka ga shinyuu ni naru koto wa hontou ni taisetsu na koto desu.
Mochiron, tomodachi ga inai hito wa sabishii hito to iwaremasu.
Demo, dareka ni shitashiku naru baai ni tsuite nankai mo yoku kangaete shinchou ni kimeta hou ga ii no desu.
Seisho de yonde moratte nanika ii kotoba ga sou iwareta. [Chie no aru hito no soba ni ireba chie aru hito ni nari, warui hito no soba ni ireba aku ni somarimasu].
Desu kara, zehi tomodachi ni shite kudasai. Shikashi, sou suru toki, chuuyi shita hou ga ii no desu.

私は親友がいないのですけど、とてもいい友人がたくさんいます。時々人を信用出来にくいと思います。誰かが親友になることは　本当に大切なことです。勿論、友達がいない人は　寂しい人と言えます。でも　誰かに親しくなる場合について　何回もよく考えて　慎重に決めた方がいいのです。聖書で読んで貰って　何かいい言葉がそう言われた。「知恵のある人の傍にいれば知恵ある人になり、悪い人の傍にいれば悪に染まります。」
ですから、ぜひ友達にしてください。しかし、そうする時、注意した方がいいのです。

I do not have a best friend but i do have many very good friends.
Sometimes I think that it is difficult to be able to trust people.
Who becomes your best friend is a really important thing in life.
Of course, people without friends can be said of as lonely people.
But, regarding whoever becomes close to you (who you choose to make a friend), it is better to give it serious thought and make careful, prudent decisions.
I read in the Bible a very good passage which says "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed".
Therefore, by all means, make friends with people. But in while doing so, it is better to exercise wise caution.

Yippee~ Haha i finally finished my HW! Praise God! Anyway, yea i thank God that even in my HW, i am able to sneak in a passage or two of Scripture :D So, may God's common grace do its work!

Anyway, yeah my revalation is in the highlighted area. Dat stood out to me the most. It's so true that who you mix with, who you choose to let into your life will determine how ur destiny in life will unvail :) True? Mix with bad company, and you will lose sight of ur destiny, mix with the right ppl, Godly ppl, and you will be accelerated into your destiny!

Last week during CG, i was a little affected when some of my cg members were saying certain negative stuff about me because i declined to fellowship at some eating place after CG because i was feeling really tired after a long whole day. Wat's more i drove, so it would be convenient for them la.

So anyway, they meant it in a joking fashion la, which i totally understand. But as i let the words sink in, i realised dat indeed, watever idle word a man speaks, that he shall certainly be accountable on the day of judgement.

So you know friends, really, we gotta be really careful of the kind of words we say to each other, because as we were taught in church, our words frame the world around us. Ask ourselves, do we speak words of encouragement, Godly words to each other? Or do we say stuff dat can cut into the heart EVEN if we meant them as harmless, innocuous words meant to be a joke?

I remember Sy Rogers teaching us dat it does NOT matter wat we think, it is wat ppl around us perceive us to be.

So, i just wanna encourage all of us, in this time of SOT together, as time goes by, inevitably, we might rub some shoulders the wrong way :) dat's natural cos we're all human and carnal mah.. But, we can all really esteem each other :) I believe our team will grow into a new level of anointing :) Let's encourage each other and help each other accelerate into our respective destinies! We will be salt and light here in SOT and in our world! Amen!

ben :D

GREETINGS!!

2008-04-20T20:44:00.005+08:00

HEY GUYS!! It GREAT to see that our blog is very alive and happening!! I thank God for putting me in this team! I can see that everyone of us is sensitive to each other's needs as we sharpen ourselves to be people centered! =) Initiatives like passing sweets in the lectures helped all of us to fight against the zZzzzZZzz monster! The salonpas that was bought for Benedict for back relief,not forgetting our annointed prayer for him! On top of all, thanks guys for getting a water bottle for me! Its really nice and kind of you guys! =) Aside from that, i'm pretty amused by the picture that featured Ronald and Jodie over at Botak Jones in the previous entries.So SHY!! tsktsk.. HAHA! 2 weeks have passed and i enjoyed every moment with all of you! Its refreshing to see all of us praising and worshiping God every morning in school! I'm looking forward to go to school everyday! =) Let's aim to be the best team in SOT and subsequent weeks ahead is gonna be enriching and its gonna get even better! Let's stay excited in the Spirit and here's a verse to encourage all of us!

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Jiayous people!! =D

2008-04-13T12:18:00.014+08:00

Hmmm..here's something from my blog. Enjoy! =)

Encountering God. What does it take to have an encounter with Him? Many things went through my mind as I thought about it. But in the end, it boils down to one thing, desire. Some of you might be thinking, how do I desire for Him more? Here are some points:

1) God is not just God. He is a Living God.

So many christians treat God as some kind of idea, image or blurry picture. These are all wrong thinkings. God is real, living and still performing wonders in our mist. You must treat him as a person. This is how you can have a close relationship with Him.

2) Panting

Like what David said in Ps 42:1, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God." How thristy are you today? Are you just satisfied to be in His presence or do you seek to see His face? There is a very big difference between the two. As you go for cellgroup meetings, service and even quiet time, is your spirit seeking after God like a madman? Don't be like the Israelists in Moses' time, whereby they were afraid of God's presence. Instead be like Moses, one who seeks after the face of God (Ex 33:18). As you seek His presence, do not enter just the outer courts or inner courts. Enter into the Holiest of Holy, touching the throne of God.

In closing, just want to share you all something that I posted last year.
