So So So Busy

Hi everyone, 2 days didn't blog le. I am so busy and no time to blog. haiz today is a saturday, suppose to go for heart.sports but my exam is next week la, cannot go for the heart.sports. Lets talk about the past 2 days. On the wednesday, I was being called by my boss to go help him capture the hospital equpiments for him. Then I am song leading on that day and thank God I wanted to take cab and he gave me $20 to take cab to the G12. I reach there and started leading worship but the whole followship short of stephenie and Debrina abit weird weird de. I am thinking in year 2008 when all the 3guys, Zi hao, Melvin and me goes to the army, how will the G12 be like?

Then on thursday, Christine ask me to teach her guitar and I actually prepare a list of things to teach her already but when I see her I do not know what to teach her as she did call her friend along too, it is fine but I am shy to teach. Haha. Cause I dunno her friend ma. After that, I call my last time church friend Richard to come down and meet me. we went to have supper and after that Christine ask us to play basketball. I was playing so lousy and lazy to run also. haha. Then at around 11 plus her friend and my friend all go home le then left me and Chirstine. Have a chat and went to 7 eleven to get a drink then send her home and she ask me to save the notes in the thumb drive and borrow the guitar from me. I lend her lor, haha and then left to go home.

Friday, haha, interesting and outreach to one of my china classmate at the MRT station. I feel very strongly that it was God that show me this contact. She is very keen to know more about church from her way she response to me when I share with her the Grace of God. I invited her to come along to our hearts on fire which is the live worship gig but she say it is too late and say maybe next time. But nevermind perservance will bring her to church and to God one day. Guess what she told me? She told me on sunday if she got nothing on she will meet me to go church. So happy really must pray for this contact when I reach out to her. After hearts on fire, I went to eat with Trina they all. Suppose to be very happy de but I saw my sad memories which is a group of my secondary school NCC cadet lieutenant la. They all depise me as they think I am not loyal to the school and went to other school NCC. The fact is that, in that school there are too many CLTs and it is very difficult to have a role as an CLT there. They may in someway see me as someone that is not loyal to the school NCC. They are always competing with the school I am teaching NCC at. My unit have done me proud, they are the Best NCC land boys unit and Overall best in NCC. For God have help me to teach them well and not being look down by others. Thank God. After the supper we actually went home and I walk Christine home. On the way Chirstine ask me a question that makes me very pai sae lor. She ask me like that walk her home very fun meh? I am so pai sae and I dunno what to answer also. haha. The whole journey is so quiet and we did not talk as if we do not know each other. I think next week I will not be eating with you all again le. Not because of her huh is because need to go home early and my exam is there need to study. Maybe will not be around with you guys for quite a while and I will meet you guys in church ba. See ya... bye

Assurance of your Salvation



I dunno why but feel let sharing this on my blog. I have read it on Sunday but I feel like sharing it now. I know that somethings to stay in God's kingdom and always keep our heart burning for God is difficult but have you ever think of who is the one that save us? Who is the one that suffer 6 hours of pain on the cross to just wash away our sin?

Firstly, Let us think of What Is The Spiritual Condition Of Your Soul Before God?

I think it is very important to know the condition of our eternal soul. How can we know the condition of our eternal soul? You may want to ask yourself the following question.

Q1) If you were to die right now, where would you spend eternity?
Q2) Supposing you arrive at the gates of heaven, what would you say to God if He asked you why He should let you in?

This two question sounds very familiar rite? We often use it during outreach to ask the people that we outreach to. But have you think that if you are asking them that question when they are not a christian, why not ask youself to check the condition of your soul? If you cannot come out with an answer you really need a prayer to God so that you can get back your fresh faith.

Secondly, there are four aspects of God's Work of Salvation.

1) Repentence - it is a radical transformation of thought, attitude, outlook and direction in regard to sin. Our minds become open to God and to the Person and work of Jesus Christ on the Cross to forgive our sins. It means a decision to turn away from your old sinful way of life, living as you please. You now acknowledge Jesus Christ and honor Him as your Loard and Saviour. Repentence is so important as I already say it is a transformation and so when you repent you must change and not do it again.

"Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" Matt 4:17

2) You now have a new life, a new beginning. When you receive salvation you will be born again no as a baby but spiritually born.

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God...unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God" John 3:3,5

So from the verse above you see how important for you to be born again?

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new", 2 Cor 5:17

3) "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ", Romans 5:1

As we know the only way to heaven is through salvation and we need to have faith and Trust Jesus Christ as our Saviour.

4) "In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" Eph 1:7

You were once slave to your sin and desires. But now, Christ have set you free so that you can live your life to serve and please God.

Remember this 4 aspects when you think that your salvation is not there. Ask yourself who set you free? When you repent did you change? Do you have faith in God? This will ensure that your spiritual growth is alright isn't it?

Thirdly, the God's Promises For You In Salvation.

1) Eternal life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life", John 3:16

2) Forgiveness of sins. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9

3) Position of a son. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believes in His name", John 1:12

4) Inheritance with Christ. "And if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that may also be glorified together", Rom 8:17

Lastly, The Results of Salvation.

1) A hunger to read and study the Bible.
2) A desire to be in church and fellowship with other Christians.
3) A knowledge and desire to live a holy life for God.
4) An impulse to speak to other people about what Christ has done for you.

Do you have an experience of salvation? If not, seek God for it. He will give it to you.

All these are references that I read from victory family centre Singapore Pre-Encounter student notes. If you wan to encounter God today, have faith and trust him today.

A Day Of Slacking

Although I am very tired now but I still decided to blog. Just a very short one. Haha. Today my class is super slack la, early in the morning we complete the problem statement already. After we got nothing to do so we sat down and slack. After sometime my team start to crap as they start pronouncing my name wrongly, I started to crap telling them that my previous class there is one person that pronounce my name wrongly then the next moment the person is lying outside the class. So I ask the person you wan to see yourself outside? Then they starting laughing saying that the way I say it is very funny. That also became the joke of the day as everyone started to say you want to sit outside is it?

Then in the afternoon, it is time for the presentation and the lecturer is not in the class yet, so when the lecturer come in, I make fun of him saying a ground rulez of our class is that if a lecturer is late for class he/she must give us better grades. Then he started laughing and say there is no such rules and I say if not give everyone $1 also can then he say wah I so money face. Haha... But I am joking la. Later on when I finish lesson, I went to causeway point with jee yon and guan soon to eat and jee yon went to play house of dead 4. All these actually ends my day with me practising the songs that I going to song lead and amazingly, I found a new way to strum the song King Of Majesty but I will ask for people comment to see which one is nicer.

My eyes is closing le... Think I stop here today. Update you guys more tml.

What is Life?

Today went for my morning service and the preacher is pastor chui. I do not know why that everytime pastor chui preach it will be something that concern me. As I feel that life is so hopeless, her preaching strength my thoughts and not to think negatively. For the past few days, my thoughts are all about the bad things but recently the preaching is always so encouraging to me that I do not think of those negative thoughts again.

Today pastor chui talk about Christ the Wisdom and Power of God as she reinforce with the following verse:

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:

"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom. ~1 cor 1:18-22

This powerfully tell me about Christ as the wisdom and power of God.

Life isn't about having the desire to want what you want. She also gives us an illustration saying that there are church members that are very on fire once but because of their desires to be better as human will never be content they have left church. I have told myself, I do not want to one of them as I have once backslided and I do not what that to happen in my life again. The best thing that will make me not to backslide is to read God's Word, ask God, Seek God and Knock. After service I actually went off to together with ming huei, melvin and one more girl I do not know her name but I know is matthew cousin but melvin stays at Yishun northpoint as he says he is meeting his friend and so me, ming huei and the girl went off to take train towards jurong east. I alighted at Sembawang as I wanted to go to the Christian Shop to take a look. I went to Mos burger to have my lunch and then to the library to read some bible. Then have a short nap in the library. After that when I was about to set off for my guitar lesson, I went to the Christian look and take a look and saw this book that talks about how to overcome my hurts through God and I am quite interested, I think I will get the book next week.

After that I want for my guitar lesson and guess who is my teacher? Haha... It is no other than my last semester class mate Lai JeeYon. Learn alot of thing from him but I cannot tell you now cause it is confidential and I did pay money to learn ok. Have a wonderful session with him. I think he must be very tired have me as his student but he is very patience la... I will go to visit him soon for another lesson. Ok I think I will stop here today. See ya and read out my blog tml.

Community Outreach 23 Sep 2006

Today is quite a boring day for me. lol. Early morning wake up and think of what songs to lead for worship in G12 this coming wednesday. Chosen 3 songs and they are: King of Majestic, Glory to the King and Jesus Lover of my Soul. I am practising the whole morning as I want to give the best and play my best for God. During the session I actually let the holy spirit to flow in me as I play the songs. The holy spirit that is guiding me really makes me play well and there is not much mistake to my surprise. I practise till all my finger skin harden sia.

Then later in the afternoon, I went for Community Outreach. I am doing unit 4 and when the notes is issue to me, my eyes pop out sia. So many things. So I decided to take the unit during the next outreach. I am in the spirit of outreaching when I reach the place and so I started with the first person. The person seems so scare of me sia, I walk one step in front he will walk one step behind. Everything started off smoothly but I was too nervous and I did not introduce myself and ming huei and I only tell him where I from. I also forget to ask for his name. As I share, I go in sequence from the 2 diagnostic question to Grace to Man to God and the Christ part is the part where I share wrongly. I am so discourage when I know I share wrongly. Then I was so afraid as Ming huei is standing beside me and looking at me. Then I just stop and ask ming huei anything to add and he say to him thank you and there he went off. After that ming huei ask me what am I doing? Didn't introduce all that and share wrongly. Then I was like so discourage. Then we still have to continue our outreach and I saw an indian and so I ask ming huei that whether he want to tried on him? So we decided to go forward and share. He is quite hard a person for us to share the gospel with as what we say he say he couldn't decide. At last he actually asked us to summarise the whole thing and ming huei did. As ming huei ask for his contact he refuse to give and so ming huei gave him his number. There goes our second person. Then we saw the third person and I was like discourage but ming huei ask me to share so I take out my courage and ask him and this time round I remember to ask him his name, and we did introduce ourselves but his face makes me panick because he like dun care. As a result I share till the part of Grace and I was stucked, I gave signal to ming huei to help me but he didn't help me until I tell him verbally, I am thinking the person must be thinking even you as a christian cannot share properly how can he be convinced. So Ming huei came in to help out. He share a lot of thing and similarly he is not willing to give his contacts so be it we didn't force him. Ming huei say we will outreach to one last one and that's it we will go back. So we sawhis muscular guy and I approach him. After sharing with him, he told us he is from a methodist school and he can actually play volleyball and is willing to give us his contact and he tick the observation portion for us also. Guess what he tick? He tick good for further contact. So happy and spiritually up again. haha.

When I reach back to the bbq pit, there is a new contact brought by trina and stephenie. They are a bunch of boys that like soccer a lot and so we have a game of soccer. I am so tired lor as I also dunno how to play soccer also. LOL. but I think it is worth it that I could make them feel welcome and they will continue to come to our church activities and really wish to see them again.

One last thing. This idiot Christine send me this message saying need me to call her urgently and got a bad news to tell me. I didn't border to read further as I didn't read carefully as I am on the phone with my Ncc friends. When I call her she say I am a idiot and ask me to continue to read and so I read then I found out I have been tricked. Christine I tell you next time will not be trick by you again. GTG. Read out my blog tomorrow again. See ya!!!

The Cry to God

Today have a wonderful time in class. Everyone is like so hardworking in my class lor haha. At the first part of the day I couldn't really solve the problem given to me but God had show me a friend that could help me in the work and I manage to have it done by 12.15pm and I had a long 1hr 15min break. I am so glad that I able to the problem and understand the problem. As programming is always difficult in the context of me but along prayers by myself and my G12 members for my logic to work in me, I finally get the wisdom of logic to work on the programming problem.

After school I actually had a meeting in school library about the buzzer bazzar thingy. That I would need to come out with a proposal. In the midst of the proposal discussion, Christine message me to ask me whether I want to give miralyn love offering for her birthday a not. I actually agree that I would like to, but I do not have much money at the moment. But managable to give some. But as I am late for Hearts On Fire, I take train to yishun and take a cab to church, I wish not late for church by then and I had overuse the amount I going to give for the offering. At first I am thinking, how can I tell Christine as I have agree to give already. But pastor chui share a very wonderful message today. So going to be honest, after service I message Christine to tell her that I will not be giving the love offering and tell her the true reason but until now she had not reply me or anything to acknowledge it. If you are miralyn reading this blog, I would like to apologise to you that I did not do much on your birthday but I would like to wish you a happy belated birthday and God bless you.

Lets talk about the verse that pastor chui had preach and I find it interesting to share with you guys.

The verse are as follow:

And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
luke 18 : 7-8

Yes this verse has touch me. I will cry out to Jesus all the problem I have and I have faith in him that he will bless me. Let everyone that read this blog cry out to God and you will have faith that God will provide you with the best.

I got to go. Catch me up tml. See ya... Good Nite... God Bless!!!!

Jesus Spoke to me!!!!

I apologise to those that saw my post yesterday. I would have to delete the post. It is because, God spoke to me something. Yesterday while I am doing my devotion at burger King, I actually come across this verse and it goes like that.

"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting, I will tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6: 16-18.

The verse really speaks to my heart, as I have announce on the msn that I am fasting but fasting is not for me to show people. It is between me and God, so now that I know I am not suppose to say, I must not announce next time. But these few days I really revived. Now I have to tell you this that, if you are spiritually down, you really really really need to seek God now. By reading God's word the fire in you will ignite once again and you will be feel with fresh faith.

I wish to share with you guys one more verse that will stir your faith in God as it says


Ask and it will be given to you;seek and you will find; knock and the door will be open to you. Matt 7:7

God already asked you to ask,seek and knock. If you don't ask will he give? If you dun seek will you find? If you dun knock will he open the door for you. If you are a christian, rite now you need to ask, seek and knock the door of God so that he will answer you. If you do not know christ, you shall soften your heart and go to a church one day and experience God's love for you. You will feel so wonderful as church is not what you think that is so boring. But you will find Joy in God.

I will stop here guys. Look out for more posting. Remember God Loves You!!!!
