Its been a long time since my last entry.
Been busy busy, but alls good.

Caught the movie Blood Diamond.
Worth every single penny of my moolah.
Awesome awesome flick i reckon.
One that had me deep in thought.

For a moment, it dawned upon me how terrible how war, poverty and violence can be.
And how fear can grip a person and render us utterly defenceless.
Certain Miss ***** Beauty Campaigns, dumb blondes, and Miss Congi has undermined world peace. In fact, the term world peace now is pegged to a picture of bimboism. Sigh

Yet what also struck me was how Solomon loved his son.
That he went all out to look for his son to bring him home.
Yet when he found his son, the ungrateful brat did not acknowledge him
And almost got him killed.
But he persisted.
At the possible expense of his own life,
Solomon again went into the rebel hideout to save his son.
And he succeeded.

But beyond the goodshalltriumphoverevil notion.
Thats just a picture of Abba.
And His undying and everlasting love for us.
Of how His heart is for us.
And despite of how we reject Him,
He still comes to us in our times of need.
That our heavenly father.

You stood before creation
Eternity in Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart oh God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon Salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart oh God
Completely to You

I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I'll stand,my soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

Caught UnXpected at Timbre's on saturday night.
Rockin' place to chill out with my buddy Colin.

The Guardian was pretty awesome.
Well i least i thought it was.
Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner were fabulous.
Totally worth my moolah.

Exams are over. Finally.

How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I could see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And everything will be all right

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And everything will be all right

Fond memories For those who born in the 70s and 80s.
1. You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles, My Little Pony and Smurfs too.

15. You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.
16. Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you have read. Even Sweet Valley High and Malory Towers.
17. KFC used to be a high class restaurant that serve food in plates and let you use metal forks and knives.
18. The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien relative.

25. Teng-teng, five stones, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too...
26. Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.
27. Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks. Even Mr Wally & Mr. Yakki. What abt Miss Lala??? And Zaki and Tini in Malay Textbooks
28. We carry out experiments of our own to get yourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.
29. Every Children's day and National day you either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumb files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.
30. In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.
31. We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
32. Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
33. The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.
34. You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school to sit down, dry your feet, and wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.
35. School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm.
36. There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.
37. Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.
38. You see Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.
39. You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl
40. Boys like to catch fighting spiders.
41. Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.
42. Autograph books were loaded with "Best Wishes", "Forget Me Not", and small poems like "Bird fly high, hard to catch.Friend like you, hard to forget".

44. There were at least 40 people in one class.
45. Large, colourful schoolbags were carried.

Remember the good old days?

2006-10-22T23:18:00.000+08:00

I never minded calling You a King
If that meant that I could count on You
To give me everything
I never thought to ask You
I always thought You knew
It was never my intention to question You

You never minded calling me a child
Well, I guess that's how I acted all the while
But You live through every tantrum,
You see through every lie
Though they seem to be more common
I just wanted You to know why oh why

Unforgetful You, unforgetful
Unforgetful You, so unforgetful

You never minded giving us the stars
Then showing us how blind and unaware of You we are
You painted me a picture and showed me how to see
Though I just won't behold it
Unless it pertains to me...

"Unforgetful You", Jars Of Clay

2006-10-18T00:05:00.000+08:00

In desperation I stepped back,
To see just what I had
And to my dismay all I saw
Was a pile of filthy rags.

What was I to say?
What was I to do?
Now that I stand here
With nothing I could give to You.

And I hear Your voice call out my name
And I listen close and I can hear You say

You were worth everything,
You were loved by the King
You were worth everything,
No there's nothing you could bring
You were worth it all the time,
I loved you all the while
Hear the angels sing
You were worth everything

2006-10-16T00:58:00.000+08:00

Hurricane imsocaughtupwithlife struck with tremulous velocity,
Claiming 458 368 731 souls of Town Ineedmoretime.
Reports have shown that folks were caught up with deadlines, Schoolwork, assignments and some,
Busy trying to match up to other's expectations.
That they feel so drained, so tired,
And everyday seems like a monotonous routine.
Suddenly, everyones occupied, so busy, and oh so drained.

Wake Up everyone!
Lets not be so caught up withlife that we forget how blessed we are!
Learn to enjoy what we have, at where we are, doing wad we do.
No. im not saying to heck care everything.
But I mean to not get sucked in by it all.
That today what are we?
We are HIGH PRIESTS!
High priests call into their situations and dictate them!
We have the authority. Use it.
We were meant to rule and soar in life.
Lets stick to that promise and purpose.
And guess what?
We do not have to try to do it.
Cos we have been empowered from on high.
Strength from within.
Grace from above.
It aint our battle to fight.
But our victory to enjoy.

Selah.

I See Grace

Verse 2:
Bearer of sin, afflicted and tried

Precious blood washes and sanctifies
Healing flows, setting me free

Shirlyn from the The UnXpected opening for Jason Mraz's gig in S'pore.

Window

She looked out e window and she saw a million stars shining upon e house she sits in.
She looked out the window and she saw a little girl crying alone in the dark.
She looked out the window and she saw a naked man dying in the sunset.

Her eyes were shining like the stars in the sky was falling while she was crying
Before he died, how she tried, to make things right

She looked out the window and she saw a lonely bird flying away from love lost
She looked out the window and she saw a pair of eyes peering into solitude
She looked out the window and she saw a pair of hands holding her future

Her eyes were shining like the stars in the sky was falling while she was crying
Before he died, how she tried, to make things right

Her eyes were shining like the stars in the sky was falling while she was crying
Before he died, how she tried, to make things right

She looked out the window.. ..

2006-09-28T00:34:00.000+08:00

Have we all forgotten how to dream?

We tend to be so caught up by the things of life,

So bogged down by deadlines, school, assignments,
family, r/s, maybe even serving
That we have simply forgotten how and why we dream?

I have and i did.

That today i can declare that i can dream not because i have ambitions.

Not because i have capabilities.

But i dream because i have a big God.

I can dream big because i know His heart for me.

His heart is for me.

Now now, that alone is comforting.

Praise and worship at Fort Gate.

Its gonna be an awesome event.

Open your hearts, enlarge your tents.

Heh.

2006-09-21T21:28:00.000+08:00

Its been quite some time since i last posted.
Been busy with church, my tuition kids, assignments,
readings, mid term test, homework ( confessions of a undergrad)
and yes, the occasional chilling out with pals and birthday celebrations!

But beyond all that, ive been thinking alot.
Reflecting on what i went through.
Reflecting on whats happening around me. Reflecting.
Yes i went through bad and hard times.
That when i look back, i just see God's grace all over my life.
I could have collapsed but He held me.
I could have given up but He gave me strength.
I could have turned bitter,
But He continued to shower me with His goodness.

And during the times, i was so preoccupied.
That i failed to realise just howclose He was to me.
Ok i could feel He was real and close.
But i failed to see that He was THAT CLOSE.
You know, when troubles come, He aint there for us.
He's there WITH us. Every moment of it. Through it all.
Tried and tested. He came true for me every time.
He came to pluck me from the pits every single time.
He did not let go of me.
Im so grateful to Abba for everything that He's done.

I realised how many a times we try to change our outerman.
That is, of cos while forgetting about our inner man.
I thought that some people were annoyed or irriated with
my words, and so.. we try to control our tongue.
We try to restain. We try to say good things.
But oh wretched man that i am,
For the good that i would do, i do not,
But the evil which i would not, that i do.
That the more i try to lay a law on myself and follow it,
Crap, it becomes worse.
How can we extend to change our outer man while ignoring e inner man?
Changes starts from within. A change that flows outwards.
That i believe as we start beholding the finished work on the cross,
There lies our victory..
That by that simple act, we have our victory!
Which fool will fall for that?
I would. I would.
It sounds too simple to be believed but its the truth.
It cant get any further from it.
Ok i might not be all saintly and all,
But heh i belive my 100% increase is coming.

Wait!
But there cannot be 'good christians' or 'lousy christians'!!
We christians are merely people depending on our Saviour.
We are but people who make mistakes and need even more grace.

People in our lives come and go.
May those who arent supposed to stay leave.
And may those who are supposed to be here, remain.
Lord, u decide. Its outa my hands.

I realised ive been rather short fused recently.
Perhaps schools been getting to my head.
My apologies.
Its gonna get better cos Abba's taking care of it. :)

Oh wells,
Im sure my God is a good shepherd.
And a good shepherd takes good care of His sheep!

Been slightly bored with my previous blog layout..
So kudos to Kev for helping me with my new blog layout.
Thanks Bro!

Caught the movie 'Click'. An absolute must watch.
For all those peeps who think life is gettin too hard, catch the movie!
Nothings greater than your family and loved ones. Really.

If any of you have any inkling of an idea to want to fast forward life,
To skip all the troubles and trials of life,
Dump the idea! Chuck it!
Enjoy life! Trials and tribulations included.
Lifes a journey for us to grow.
Bumps and humps are for our feeding.
Take it. Eat it. Enjoy it.

Adam Sandlers now my second favourite actor.
After Mr Jack Sparrow that is. Johnny Depp!!
And did i mention Kate Beckinsale is hot? Hrm. Heh

Ok another piece of big news.
NS Cg officially no more. Its an awesome ministry.
Something thats really close to my heart.
I was there since it started. Right till we ended.
I just sat there thinking. So much memories.
Times of sharing of word and how it brings life.
Times when we crapped and played.
Times when we sweat and played soccer.
Times when the all mens worship was just so annointed.
Times when we see each other through crisis and shit.
Times when we see each other grow.
Times when we bonded.
Till today, we stand. Band of brothers.
Something just so close to me.
No it aint the end of it.
Its only the begining to something greater.
Something even more awesome.
Cheers Bros!

NRIC alphabet determination.

Ever wondered how the alphabet from your NRIC came about?
Its due to the allocation of weights to the numerals in your name.
Check this out!

Step 1: Multiply each numeral from your Ic No.
with the following weights and sum it up.

Eg. My Ic No. 8509045.
Weights 2765432
Hence, (8x2) + (5x7) + (0x5) + (9x5) + (0x4) + (4x3) + (2x5)
= 118

Step 2: Divide the answer by 11 and note remainder.

Eg. 118 /11 = 10 r8

Step 3: Take 11 minus the remainder and refer to following values.
1=A , 2=B , 3=C , 4=D , 5=E , 6=F , 7=G , 8=H , 9=I , 10=Z
No remainder = J

11-8=3
Mines a C.

Now, try it with your own ic number. Does it match?

2006-07-29T01:24:00.000+08:00

Today i spent an awesome day with 2 lovely ladies.. jam and cheryl.
A whole good ten hours. Had so so much fun. Haha.
We started off by having lunch at spagheddies
Then we caugh Pirates of Carribean 2.
Johnny Depp's simply brilliant and Kiera Knightlys just gorgeous.
We adjourned to Holland Village after that.
Dinner at Sushi Tei was fabulous. The ambience was just splendid.
Till some chatty office ladies came in and yakked real noisily.
Haha.. nevertheless it was still fun. Our hilarious antics. Wahhaha.

And it was off to Walas after dinner!
There was this guy playing and singing. Vocals and guitar skiils quite solid
But his fake accent with a strong nasal flavr was startin to irritate us. Heh
Then this 3 piece band came on. Their frontman was much better.
Quite tight, got the chemistry goin on. Alternative rock.
Really enjoyed just listening to sets like that. I like.

Awesome awesome day.

David chose to sing praises to Abba when his trials hit him.
It surely hurt. It surely wasnt easy.
But David chose to worship the Lord in his times of need.
I will not give to Abba something that costs me nothing!

The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice, and trembles at His voice.

How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
All will see
How great, how great
Is our God.

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in One
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb, the Lion and the Lamb.

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing how great
Is our God

How great is our God, Chris Tomlin.

2006-07-04T20:51:00.000+08:00

Its been great fellowshipping with my buddies!

Had a session of sharing with nat and aiwei.
Its just awesome fellowshipping around the word.
It gives life! And part of what i shared was actually the
CG msg that we havent heard.
So supernatural.
How great is our God..
Sing with me.

Also spent time with leei, geline and hao.
Spent sat night watching soccer and makaning. Great man!
Leei : dun worry the spaghetti wont make u pile on the kilos.
Hao: Your one of my best buddies! Cheers!
Geline: Its been quite some time but it was fun heh?
Love what you said.. Tiny warm gathering...

And today i spent time with Mr Colin.
My best bro during my initial JC season.
Its great to see how much Abba has grown you. Man of God!
And it was awesome just talking about Christ. *thumps heart*

We caught the movie 'Superman Returns' today.
Totally splendid.
Din wanna go initially cos was feeling feverish,
Had a throbbing headache, nose running like mad.
And my throat/voice is just feeling absolutely terrible!
But im glad i went. I received something.

Do you know that Superman draws strength from the sun?
If you din, now you know!
I din know initially but that was what i caught today.
That like what Pastor said,
Christ in us is super and we are man, His creation.
Hence we are the superman!
And we draw strength from the sun! And also the SON!
Its so liberating when the WOG just touches u in ur season.

Oh and the shakespear/literature junkie/poet
in me birthed this :

Through your eyes i'll see your world.
Through my mind you'll see mine.
Come, take my hand and walk with me.
Spend forever here with me.

It aint dedicated to anyone in particular! Serious.

2006-06-23T16:15:00.000+08:00

You Lord are high above the earth.
Nothing can compare with You,
All have seen Your works.
Long before the mountains were born,
Before the earth was formed,
You loved me even then.
Good and faithful one,
You have proven Your love.
You did not withhold Your son.
Heaven's love came down,
Life with You, my crown.
How could I not then love you ?
Here's my heart bowed down.
Here's my heart bowed down.

Heres my heart, The Longing.

Muttered ramblings from a man of few words.

2006-06-23T00:18:00.000+08:00

Its has been brought to my attention that my last few posts were
merely song lyrics and more song lyrics and articles.
They asked for a real post, one that has me writing outa my heart. heh.
Well arent the song lyrics outa my heart too?
Those songs greatly minister to me, thats why they are here. haha.

Where your heart is, therein your treasure lies.
I cant agree more to this man. That truly what is your treasure?
Its where your heart is. Its where you set your heart to be.
There is your treasure. Today, what is it that we place close to our heart?
What is it that we value highly, that is our treasure.
Is it the posh cars we drive? Is the good looks we have?
Is it the material stuff? Is it our first class honours deg?
Is it the pretty/handsome spouse we have?
What is it? Think about it.
For me its simple. Where my heart is?
Its with abba. My hearts been captured. Been captivated.
He is my treasure. Not that i own Him, but that i belong to Him.
If theres anything i can pride myself in, its that my Jesus really loves me.

I realise in many of the areas which we are struggling in, or where
Our breakthrus are not seen, its cos we have been holding on too hard.
Not holding on to it. But holding on to ourselves!
That becos we are still tryin by our own flesh, the results are disastrous.
Its time we sit back, sit easy, and trust abba.
Easier said than done. But take the journey and enjoy it.
Dont hurry through it. The end is surely glorious.
Edmund sit easy!

ORD loh!!
Frankly, it feels good to be done with national service.
Not that i din enjoy my time there, but that there is so much more ahead.
Well what have i gained from army.
Yes, surely all the army stuff and all.
But whats precious is the relationships and bonds. The brothers ive made.
The thick and thin we've all gone through together. The blood and sweat.
Its precious man. We did it together!
The fresh air smells good but seriously, ORD-ing is overly hyped! haha

Happy 22nd Birthday Ah Liang!!
My bro here is very precious to me. Haha we went through so much tog.
And its always a joy to have him around. Words cant describe man.
Well we celebrated his birthday on tues night. Jason, Gerald, me and Him.
Went for some jap food that wasnt fantastic, but the company was!
Really good catching up with all of them. Been quite some time heh.
A toast to my buddies!

Been spending more time with Mr Jason Quah too man. Awesome.
Hes really an awesome pal man. Just that sometimes he abit slOoOwWw..
Haha. Seriously enjoy the time spent with him.
We all cant wait for school at SIM to start.
Excited or sarcastic remark? You go figure. heh

My hairs dyed to orangy red. DIY disaster.
I find it kinda beng, some others do too.
But some think its cool.
Hrmm...

Flutterflys back from DownUnder. Yeah!

His strength is perfect,
When our strength is gone.

He'll carry us,

When we cant carry on.

Raised in His power,

The weak becomes strong.

His strength is perfect.

Himself

2006-06-16T00:50:00.000+08:00

Once it was the blessing, Now it is the Lord;
Once it was the feeling, Now it is His Word.
Once His gifts I wanted, Now the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing, Now Himself alone.

Once 'twas painful trying, Now 'tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost.
Once 'twas ceaseless holding, Now He holds me fast;
Once 'twas constant drifting, Now my anchor's cast.

Once 'twas busy planning, Now 'tis trustful prayer;
Once 'twas anxious caring, Now He has the care.
Once 'twas what I wanted, Now what Jesus says;
Once 'twas constant asking, Now 'tis ceaseless praise.

Once it was my working, His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me.
Once the power I wanted, Now the Mighty One;
Once for self I labored, Now for Him alone.

Once I hoped in Jesus, Now I know He's mine;
Once my lamps were dying, Now they brightly shine.
Once for death I waited, Now His coming hail;
And my hopes are anchored ,Safe within the vail.

You are my supply
My breath of life
Still more awesome than I know.
You are my reward
Worth living for
Still more awesome than I know.

And all of you
Is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You're my sacrifice
Of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know.
You're my coming King
You're my everything
Still more awesome than I know.

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me.
More than all I know
More than all I can see
You are more than enough for me.

All of you
Is more than enough for
All of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all i have in You.
And all i have in You is more than enough.
More than enough.

Enough, Jeremy Camp

Falling on my knees in worship
Giving all I am to seek your face
Lord all I am is is yours.

My whole life I place in your hands
God of mercy humbled I bow down
In your presence at your throne

I called You answered
And You came to my rescue and I,
Wanna be where You are.

In my life be lifted high
In our world be lifted high
In our love be lifted high.

Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom.
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man.
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be.
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams.

But I see love
I see love.
Light of heaven breaking through.
Well I see grace.
I see God's face.
Shining pure and perfect love.
When I see you I see love.

Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him.
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him.
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes.
Some see a hero
Who set his people free.

With your last breath I see love.
Through your death I see love.
I see peace in the eyes of the king.
I see hope in your suffering.
I see a calm in the center of the storm.
I see a Saviour.

I see love.
Light of heaven breaking through
I see grace I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you I see love
When I see you I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you I see love

A study concludes that the high we get when someone we love smiles at us is 'higher' than the high we get from sex, chocolate or shopping.
Maybe even more high than all of it added up. heh

The moon is a faithful witness that the sun is shinning!
That even when darkness comes, look at the moon reflecting sunlight..
And know that the sun is shinning!

Lotsa catching up to do with friends from secondary school and Jc.

Day-trip to red land.

Makan Makan.... Seafood. Jap food. Tim Sum. Mayim!

Shopping trip to the land of a thousand smiles. Sawadeekap!

And all that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mold...

My soul finds rest in You my Jesus
My hiding place amid the storm
In pastures green you lead me down to lie
By waters still, i shall abide.

I shall not fear in times uncertain
I shall not look to my own strength
Into Your hands, i place my hopes and plans
My trust is in the Blood of the Lamb.

A crown of thorns pierced through your temple
The Blood that flowed took all my cares
What price You paid, what sacrifice You made
My life in Yours, Jesus my rest.

My Rest

When you fall, don't be conscious of your failure and feel bad or condemned. Instead,be conscious of who you are in Christ, pick yourself up, dust yourself and continue your walk with God!

2006-05-26T23:57:00.000+08:00

Psalms 78:41

NKJV
Yes, again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.

NASB
And they turned again and tempted God,
And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

Amplified
And time and again they turned back and tempted God,
provoking and incensing the Holy One of Israel.

Looking at the second part of the verse..
And comparing all the 3 different versions,
It dawned on me that when we limit God,
We provoke and incense our abba..
Wow.

2006-05-26T16:44:00.000+08:00

Its really awesome.
That in my darkest hour, my darkest time, Abba speaks to me again!
Perhaps its because ive quieten down my heart to hear what He's saying?
Well here it is.. He used our church devotional to speak to me once again..

'I Will Be Your God’
Hebrews 8:10
“...and I will be their God, and they shall be My people...”

When God says,“I will be your God,” that is a declaration that He will work miracles in your life. So if it is a miracle you need, it is a miracle you will get!

If there is a huge sea blocking the way to your blessing and God says, “I will be your God,” It means that He will open the sea for you so that you can receive your blessing.

If you are poor and God says,“I will be your God,”it means that you will be well-provided for. Since God fed nearly three million Israelites in the wilderness every single day for 40 years, you can be sure that God will provide for you too.

If you are sick and God says,“I will be your God,”it means that He is going to be“the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26), and you will be healthy.

If you have incurred a huge debt and God says to you,“I will be your God,”it means that He will bring about a supernatural cancellation of your debt.

But not only does God say,“I will be their God,”He also says,“they shall be My people”. To be God's people means to be the protected ones. Not all on earth are God's people — only you and I who are redeemed by the blood of Christ. During times of uncertainties, God says to you,“You shall be My people.”This means that you are protected from all pestilences, plagues, attacks and destruction.

Even when you hear people say that the economic crisis is coming, God says to you, “You shall be My people.” This means that you don't have to worry or be anxious. The crisis will not affect you. Regardless of the situation in the world, you are protected and you will walk in the blessings of God.

God's power comes into every challenge you face when He says to you,“I will be your God and you shall be My people.” You will experience the supernatural life. Your part is to believe what He declares and act like it is so!

Death And The Bearing Of Fruit.

2006-05-25T13:05:00.000+08:00

In John 12:24, the Lord Jesus said, "Unless the grain of wheat falls
into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
Life is in the grain. However, there is a shell outside of the grain, a very powerful shell. As long as this shell does not break open, the grain cannot grow. "Unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies."
What is this death? It is the action of the temperature and moisture of the earth upon the grain which results in the breaking of the shell. When the shell breaks, the grain grows. Therefore, it is not a matter of whether or not the grain has life, but whether the outer shell is broken. The very next verse says, "He who loses his soul-life loses it; and he who hates his soul-life in this world shall keep it unto eternal life."(v25)
According to the Lord, the outer shell is our own life, and the inner life is the eternal life that He dispenses. In order for the inner life to be released, the outer life must suffer loss. If that which is outward is not broken, that which is inward cannot be released.

Submission to God's appointed authority,
God's opportunity to bless us with favour.

David submitted to his parents to go to the war front to bring
food to his brothers. It was his heart to fight the philistines,
Not bring food to his brothers who were fighting the philistines!
But He still submitted to his parents.
He recognised that they were God's appointed authority in his life.
And in his submission, he conquered the largest and strongest
philistine ever.

How did Esther find favour with the king?
She submitted to the eunuch that was in authority over her.
Yes! the eunuch.

Leban was Jacob's boss.
And for 10 times, he changed Jacob's salary.
Jacob continued to submit.
And God came through for him every single time.

When Jesus's parents left him at the temple-place,
And returned to get him.
Jesus submitted to them even though at 12,
He was much wiser than them.
And Jesus grew in favour and stature.

I realised its easy for us to submit to someone thats higher
than us or to someone who totally deserves it.
But isnt that giving in rather than submitting?
However, it takes humility to submit to someone lesser
Or to someone who doesnt deserve it.
But ultimately, submission aint to the person.
Submission is to the Lord.
Lord teach me to be humble...

What ive received here is so timely.
I thought ive lost favor with some people.
Some people close to me who mattered.
And i was about to use my own flesh and self effort
to gain back that favour.
I thought that since i treasured them,
I should not bother about my pride and just go all out.
But this message just caught me.
Im not going to rely on my flesh.
Im going to trust in abba and submit to His appointed authority.
That one drop of abba's favour is better than 10 years of hard work!

2006-05-20T23:12:00.000+08:00

Why is it that sometimes when we face a tribulation,
We just pause there, motionless, and be in a daze?
Or we even try to run, run far far away,
In an attempt to escape the truth.
Perhaps we cannot see pass our daunting mistakes.
Perhaps its because we see no hope in our situation.
No hope for the future, no hope for now.
But!!
The bible hope comforts me so much.

Romans 5:1-5
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4 and perseverance, roven character; and proven character, hope; 5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

It talks about how exulting in our tribulations
Bringeth about perseverance, and perseverance character,
and character hope. and this hope doesnt disappoint!
Cos this hope is the love of God POURED out on us.
So is it the exulting of our tribulations that brings abt this hope?
Ironically, its the opposite.
Its the other way round.
But that because its the love of God POURED out on us,
That today we might have hope.
And in that hope, we might have character,
And in that character, the perseverance springeth forth.
And ultimately exulting in our joy.

That truly its Abba's love that keeps me going.
That its His love that picks me up when i fall.
That its His love that comforts me when im lonely.
That its His love that makes me feel secure.
That its His love that satisfies.
That its His love that suffices.

That today, I see the bible hope in my situtation.
That i no longer feel lost, i no longer feel inadequate.
I no longer feel insecure.
Cos knowing how much He loves me,
I see Jesus in my situation.
I see Hope in my situation.

And even in the wrong decisions i make,
I know that He will still prosper them.
Cos He just loves me so much.
Knowing my abba's heart, how will i wanna take that long route round?
Knowing my abba's heart, how will i still wanna do it my way?
Thank you Abba for gracing me through it all.

Are we in the promised land?

2006-05-16T23:25:00.000+08:00

We can be out of Egypt,
But are we in the promised land?
Are we in the land flowing with milk and honey?
Yes!!

Colossians 1 (Amplified Bible)
12Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light.
13[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins.

Who has qualified us?
He has! (v13) The Father has!
How?
By delivering us (v14). Deliver here means 'to rush to rescue!'
By?
Our redemption is through His blood! (v14)

Abba cannot take us outa Egypt and not bring us into the promised land!
He will not leave us out there! He did not.

Either you are cursed or you are blessed.
Either you are bound or you are free.
Theres no middle ground.

I will not try to be in the land of blessings..
I AM IN THE LAND!
Christ has redeemed me.
I know im already blessed.

2006-05-16T17:43:00.000+08:00

The last 2 weeks has been rather topsy-turvy.
Been through quite a fair bit but through it all,
Abbas been good. Abbas good.

It all began when i was just starting to clear my army leave.
No longer have to go back to camp. Hence a lot of free time...
I wanted to devote my mornings to just spend time with abba,
to just worship him and to immerse myself in the word.
The feeling is just so awesome, so precious.
On the first day that i started to clear my leave, NCC devotional was
about spending time in the word, how apt! Kinda like a confirmation.
That it all began well. Then the trials crept in.

Trials that caused me to worry about others.
That somehow what my friends were going thru started to wear me down
And i ended up worrying for them.
And there were other trials that hit my dreams and hopes.
Especially when it was regarding to church stuff, the hit was worse.
Then came the emotional espect nonetheless. who doesnt get hit here?
That i started to feel emotionally insecure, felt lousy about myself,
And even started comparing myself to some other people.
And doubts turned to fears, and fears to stupid drastic measures taken.
Well lets just say that i made some stupid decisions and did dumb stuff.
So all in all, it was a kinda bad week. So emotionally draining.

Then it dawned on me. my lighting quick fast mind. or not.
That the devil was trying to play catch up on what abba has started!
he knew i was spending time in the word and was tryin to steal my portion!
But unfortunately, he aint getting nowhere.
That the trials only served to drive my foundation deeper into the word.
That the trials only served to drive my foundation deeper in Christ.
In my infirmities, His strength is made perfect.
In my trials and tribulations, He has really come true for me and made
all things good. He is just so real in my life.
I remember my previous post i talked about counting it all joy!
That even counting the trials joy, cos its an opportunity for the love of
abba to be shown, for His mercy and grace to be manifested.
Count it all joy!

True, the areas the devil has attacked were areas close to my heart.
My friends, church and even some special people.
And those areas were areas which i have been holding on to!
Areas where i thought i could manage, areas where i thought i had enough
grace and mercy.
We can never have enough of His grace and mercy.
New manna everyday! new manna!
Lets all come to a place where we do not rely on yesterdays manna.
Abba promised new manna for us everyday. fresh bread!

Sit easy Edmund.
Dont carry other people's cross.
And that when things dont seem good, know that it still will turn
out for good cos its still in Abba's hands.
I mean it being in abba's hands, how bad can it turn out?
Will it ever be so bad that my daddy cant take it and turn it for good?
ponder.

My ministry, my future, my studies, my career and even my spouse is
secure cos its in your hands abba.
Your hands are bigger than mine.

And when the heavens pass away,
All your scars will still remain.
And forever they will say,
How much you love me.
Forever my love,
Forever my heart,
Forever my life is yours.
Is yours.

2006-05-11T10:00:00.000+08:00

Are you shaking in your situation?
Are you trembling ?
You are in the midst of breaking through your sound barrier.
That your victory is coming.
And the peace that surrounds is so overwhelming, so soothing.
You are breaking your barriers.. Mark 1, Mark 2.
And even Mark 10, a representation of the law.

You know, glory in your tribulations.
Count it ALL joy.
Count ALL the tribulations joy.
The waitings gonna build your character and mold you.

Hope doesnt dissapoint, my friend. My Jesus is hope.
Jesus doesnt dissapoint.
We can hope, cos Jesus loves us.

Today, can anything ever seperate us from God?
Your mistakes? Your insecurities?
It cant. It cant.
God put you where you are today,
Despite knowing your past, present and future sins!
He loved you.
He still loves you.
He forever will.
Now, what can ever seperate us from God?
Nothing nothing.

Faith. Hope. Love.

Hear the faith word, Heart the bible hope. Live the by-product love life.

My dream car..

Aston Martin DB9.

2006-05-05T08:30:00.000+08:00

You did this for me?
The diadem of pain
Which sliced your gentle face
Three spikes piercing flesh and wood
To hold you in your place.
The need for blood i understand
Your sacrifice i embrace
But the bitter sponge, the cutting spear
The spit upon your face?
Did it have to be a cross?
Did not a kinder death exist
Than six hours hanging between life and death
All spurred by a betrayer's kiss.
"Oh, Father," you pose,
Heart stilled at what could be,
"I'm sorry to ask, but i long to know,
did you do this for me?"
Feel the timber of the cross
Trace the braid of the crown
Finger the point of the spike
Pause and listen...
Perchance you will hear him whisper:
" I did it, just for you."

2006-04-16T18:37:00.000+08:00

Into your hands
I commit again.
With all I am,
For you Lord.

You hold my world,
In the palm of your hand.
And I'm yours forever.

Jesus I believe in you.
Jesus I belong to you.
You're the reason that I live,
The reason that I sing.
With all I am.

I'll walk with you,
Wherever you go.
Through tears and joy,
I'll trust in you.

And I will live ,
In all of your ways.
And your promises forever.

I will worship I will worship you forever.

With All I Am, Hillsongs.

2006-04-15T08:39:00.000+08:00

You wonder how long my love will last?
Find your answer on a splintered cross, on a craggy hill.
Thats me you see up there, your maker your God,
Nail stabbed and bleeding.
Covered in spit and sin soaked.
Thats your sin im feeding.
Thats your death im dying.
Thats your resurrection im living.
Thats how much i love you.
-Max Lucado-

Can now then anything come between us and abba?

God judges sin and He did it completely.
On His Son. His one and only Son.
Six hours one friday at Calvary.
Entire world's sins. All of it.
Nailed. Nailed Nailed.
'Nufff said.

2006-04-13T23:18:00.000+08:00

The scriptures says we are God's workmanship. The word workmanship implies that you are not yet a finished product; you are a "work in progress". Throughout our lives, God is continually shaping and molding us into the people He wants us to be. The key to future success is to not be discouraged about your past or present while you are in the process of being "completed". The bible indicates that we go from glory to glory as we are being transformed into God's image. Whether you realise or not, right now God is moving you onward toward greater things. The path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter.

When you are tempted to get discouraged, remind yourself that according to God's word, your future is getting brighter; you are on your way to a new level of glory. You may think you've got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far you've already come. You may not be everything you want to be, but at least you can thank God that you're not what you used to be.

Our value is intrinsic. Its not something you or I have earned; indeed, we cannot earn it. God built value into us when He created us. To God, we are His ultimate creations. That means you can stop obsessing about all your faults and give yourself a break. Every person has weaknesses. Even the great men and women of the bible made mistakes. They all had shortcomings, but that didnt stop God from loving them, blessing them, and using them to acomplish great deeds. Besides, we need to learn how to keep our flaws in perspective. You may think there is alot wrong with you, but there is alot right with you.

The great news is that God knows everything about you, both good and bad.And He still loves you and values you unconditionally. God does not always approve of our behaviour. He is not pleased when we go against His will, and when we do, we always suffer the consequences and have to work with Him to correct our thoughts, words, actions or attitudes. And while you should work to improve in the areas you fall short, nothing you do will ever cause God to love you less... or more. His love is a constant you can depend on.

Understand, your value in God's eyes never changes. Some people want us to think that the moment we do something wrong or get off course, God gets his big marker out, crosses our name off His list, and says, " I knew they couldnt do it, I knew they dint have what is takes."
No, God is a forgiving God. He is a God of second chances. No matter how many times you fail Him or how many mistakes you make, your value in God's eyes remains exactly the same.

Imagine that i am handing you a new, crisp one-hundred dollar bill. Would you want it? Probably so! Suppose i crumpled it up so it wasnt quite as good lookgin as it was the day it came out from the mint. Would you still want it? Sure! But wait, what if i took it out in the parking lot, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it until the picture on the bill was barely perceptible? Its now dirty and stained, and soiled. Would you still want it?

Of course. Why? Because it is still valuable despite the rough treatment it has experienced. A hundred dollars is a hundred dollars (forgetting about exchange rates, inflation, and other factors, for the moment). It doesnt lose its value simply because it has aged, is not as pretty as it once was, or has taken some bumps and bruises in life.

Thats the way God sees each one of us. We all go through challenges and struggles. Sometimes we feel like that hundred dollar bill, all crumpled and soiled. But just as that hundred dollar bill has value, we do, too! In fact, we will never, ever lose our value. Our value has been placed in us by the Creator of the universe, and nobody can take it away from us.

Your Best Life Now, Joel Osteen

2006-04-11T22:32:00.000+08:00

Have some determination; ask God to put some fire in your spirit.
Begin speaking in terms of victory rather than defeat.
Your words have amazing power, so quit talking about what you cant do
And start talking about what God can do.
Keep your mind focused on God's goodness.
Stay in an attitude of faith and victory, and you will no longer live
under the bondage thats been passed down from previous generations.
Go beyond the old barriers of the past.
Dont just accept whatever comes your way in life.
You were born to win; you were born for greatness;
You were created to be a champion in life.

Your best life now, Joel Osteen

2006-04-10T23:30:00.000+08:00

Lord, I am not worthy for you.
But you sent your son to die in my place.
I sense righteousness in your eyes.

Lord Your love embraces me.
Use me, fill me
All the days of my life.

2006-04-09T22:41:00.000+08:00

Whats amazing is that i din realise it til pple came to tell me abt it.

I finally understood what Pastor Prince was preaching that day
when he mentioned how the devil attacks him
by attacking the people close to his heart.
Of how the devil makes him worry about them.
Well it was the same feeling i felt man.
I felt concerned or rather was worried.
If i care so much, how much more abba?
How much much more abba would care for her.
Shes in safe hands.

Saturday's service was awesome too.
When is it our season?
Its not the physical age but the spiritual maturity...
That the fruits will just show. The fruits will be so evident.
Dont make it a hard life. Enjoy.
Its okay to be attracted.
As long as it doesnt choke the word of God in my life.
As long as it doesnt take the priority of God's word in my life.
Abba is still my first.

Nuggets of truth...
The death and ressurection of Christ is like a group photo.
Look for myself in it. Woo Hoo!

Faith is acting like the word of God is true.
Believe and act on it!

Eternal life is not just life forever.
Eternal life is the life of God.
That if we have eternal life( and we do!),
We have the life of God!

Because Christ died FOR us,
We died WITH Him.
And now we are IN Christ!!

Let us not strive to get into a state of rest.
But just to enjoy His presence,
The rest will naturally come.

A man of the bible hope and expectancy.
A real man.

我一直都想对你说
你给我想不到的快乐像绿洲给了沙漠
说你会永远陪着我
做我的根我翅膀让我飞也有回去的窝
我愿意我也可以付出一切也不会可惜
就在一起看时间流逝要记得我们相爱的方式
就是爱你爱着你有悲有喜有你平淡也有了意义
就是爱你爱着你甜蜜又安心那种感觉就是你

我一直都想对你说
你给我想不到的快乐像绿洲给了沙漠
说你会永远陪着我
做我的根我翅膀让我飞也有回去的窝
我愿意真的愿意付出所有也要保护你
Oh 在一起时间继续流逝请记得我有多么的爱你
Oh 就是爱你爱着你不弃不离开不在意一路有多少风雨
就是爱你爱着你放在你手心灿烂的幸福全给你
Oh 就是爱你爱着你我都愿意就是爱你爱着你要我们在一起

就是爱你, 陶喆

Got this song from a blessed sister.

This song just speaks so much to me.

That through it all, abba is my assurance.

He is here with me through it all...

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear

I, I will be here

If in the dark we lose sight of love

Hold my hand and have no fear

Cause I, I will be here.

I will be here

When you feel like being quiet

When you need to speak your mind

I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I, I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I, I will be here.

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here.

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

I, I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I, I will be here
We'll be together
I will be here.

I'll Be Here, Steven Curtis Chapman

I sing this praise for You alone.
And once again I worship at Your throne.
I lift You up, You cover me.
Safe and strong, sheltered by Your wings.

I gaze upon Your glory now.
Redeeming love satisfies my soul.
You summon angels all around,
This joy of salvation I have found.

I exalt you.
I will come with shouts of joy.
Into your presence.
Faithful God.
My heart is overwhelmed by You.
In spirit and in truth i stand.
To worship You with all I am.
I am Yours, Lord.
I am Yours, Lord.
Jesus, my heart is overwhelmed.

Overwhelmed, Hillsongs.

How beautiful are you Lord,
A spring of life to me.
Words of love caress my soul.
You fill my every need.

Precious are your statures,
They guide my every move.
So in love with You, Lord.
Your love shines over me.

I will seek You with all my heart.
I will lift my voice to You.
No matter how i feel,
My hope's in You.
For you have rescued me from calamity,
Set my feet on solid ground.
Oh Lord, You are a spring of life to me.

Your word secure within me,
Has kept my feet from strife.
Forever I will thank You
For giving me new life.

And I will love You, Jesus.
My life's within Your hands.
Teach me, guide me,
Into Your masterplan.

Spring Of Life, Hillsongs.

When I woke up today,
And thought of all the things You’d done.
I find myself here,
Feeling oh so overcome.

You gave Your life away for me,
Truly my heart belongs to You.
So let me say.

Could I ever thank You for
What You did at Calvary?
When You bled and died for me
Could I ever turn away?
Knowing that You paid the price
That I could never pay.

When I think of the way,
That You died upon that Cross.
Bearing my sin,
Even though my heart was lost.

You gave Your life away for me,
Truly my heart belongs to You.
So let me say.

Could I ever thank You for
What You did at Calvary?
When You bled and died for me
Could I ever turn away?
Knowing that You paid the price
That I could never pay.

Could I Ever, Planetshakers

2006-03-30T15:52:00.000+08:00

It was a question i really really wanted to ask.
An answer i really wanted to know.
So much that i even dreamt of it.
But im glad now that now i no longer need to know.
I no longer have the desire to ask.
That it doesnt matter whether i know or not.

And the feeling is good.
Liberated. Totally. :)

2006-03-28T19:20:00.000+08:00

There is a longing,
Only you can fill,
A raging tempest,
Only you can still.
My soul is thirsty Lord,
To know You as I'm known.
Drink from the river,
That flows before Your throne.

Take me deeper,
Deeper in love with You.
Jesus hold me close in Your embrace.
Take me deeper,
Deeper than I've ever been before.
I just want to love You more and more,
How I long to be deeper in love.

Sunrise to sunrise,
I will seek Your face.
Drawn by the Spirit,
To the promise of Your grace.
My heart has found in You,
A hope that will abide.
Here in Your presence,
Forever satisfied.
How I long to be deeper in love.

Deeper in love, Don Moen

Behind your disguise
I see in your eyes
Something has left you wounded
I don't have the answers
For all of your tears
But you're not abandoned here

He knows where you are
He's been there too
When you can't go on
He'll carry you through
When your losing hope
He's still in control
He's never letting go

So the damage is done
You try to move on
Still your empty handed
But this isn't your home
I want you to know
You don't walk alone

Of your situation
In the face of the unknown
He's right there
Look deep into your heart
For his reflection and
Don't let go please don't let go

I don't have the answers
For all of your tears
But you're not abandoned here

Letting go, Anthony Evans

The last 24 days was quite a journey.
I thought i had it under control.
I thought i handled it all well.
I thought wrong.

Its been a rough ride.
Ups and downs.
Emotional.
Bouts of melancholy.
Was i holding on to my own flesh?
Was i lying to myself?

But!!
If i had it all under control,
If my faults, wrong-doings and all haf been done and over wif,
wont my Jesus have died in vain?
That He came to die for my sins!
Not die for my past sin.
But for my present(ever) and future sins.
That truly in and despite of me,
He came and died for me.
For me! yes me!

Despite looking at my list of short-comings,
But knowing how how much im loved by abba,
How can these things have a hold on me?
Its all been nailed on the cross.
Its been redeemed.

Even now now,
I cant 100% say im over the whole incident,
Im not sure if its all ok.
But i know it cant have a hold on me.
My abba is preparing me for a journey.
Preparing and molding me.
That im a man filled with the bible hope.
The bible hope that doesnt fail.
The bible hope that cant fail.
It cannot disappoint.
Cos His love is perfect.
So perfect.

That my God is the keeper of my heart,
And He is the lover of my soul, my life.
He will NEVER put me to shame.
I will soar.
From glory to glory.
Not gory to glory.
I will soar.
From the high-ups. From the mountain tops.
Not by my own effort.
Truly, truly.

God is faithful.
Mark His goodness.

My righteousness,
My holiness.
Emmanuel, living in me.
Merciful king,
To you i sing.
Matchless in worth,
Your awesome in deeds.

You alone i praise,
The lamb upon the throne.
You alone i praise.
And make your glory known.
You alone i praise,
The keeper of my heart.
To you alone i praise,
Jesus lover of my soul.

Israel's National Anthem: Hatikva (The Hope)

Lyrics:
Kol od balevav p'nimah
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah
Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l'tzion tzofiyah
Od lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim
L'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim

English translated lyrics:
As long as deep in the heart,
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope will not be lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

2006-03-19T22:50:00.000+08:00

Because of His shed blood,
Today we stand on favour ground.
We stand on redeemed ground.
We stand on grace ground.
That we can even glory in our tribulations
(Cos standing on grace ground, abba can turn our situations arnd!)

Hosea 2:15
In our valley of Achor(trouble), God puts a door of hope!
Hope= a postive expactancy of good.
That there is a positive expectancy of good in our days of trouble!
Something good will come out of our situations.
Only something good will come out of it.

Zechariah 9:11-12
Prisoners of hope.
We are prisoners of hope.
Something good will is going to happen!!
the 'even today' speaks of now! the present!
Futhermore, there will be double restoration!(v12)
That EVEN the years the locusts haf eaten,(signifying the wasted years)
God will prosper!
That today, even our wrong actions, the things we din do,
The things that seemingly seem to have been wasted,
God can turn them around and grant us double restoration.

The bible hope does not dissapoint.
Cos its fixated on God's love for us.
Its fixated on His heart for us.
That never fails.

The word that is sown on good ground,
The devil attemps to steal.
Let the seed take root, and bear fruit..
Constantly remind and refresh our minds with the word.
With the word that speaks of God's love for us.
Now if that doesnt fail,
We wont.

Though the treasures of
This life may fade
Your love endures forever
They will pass away
Things that man has made
But your love endures forever

Now I can't explain, or even understand
Why you gave your life, to save sinful man
But I know it's true, I've seen it myself
Your love endures forever

Though the seasons change
With the passing time
Your love endures forever
And the sun will fade
If just for the night
Your love endures forever

Though our pains and joys
Will come and go
Your love endures forever
Even in my fears I will always know
That your love endures forever

Your love endures, Third Day

2006-03-13T19:34:00.000+08:00

My soul sings,
To my Saviour King of Kings.
I need You,
You are everything to me.
I love You.
So much more than anything,
I'll live for You.

Jesus You are everything
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
You're all that I want
You're all that I live for in this world

All That I Want, Planetshakers

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
Should I stumble again
I'm caught in our grace
Everlasting,
Your light will shine when all else fails
Neverending,
Your glory goes beyond all fame.

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting,
Your light will shine when all else fails
Neverending,
Your glory goes beyond all fame

My heart and my soul
I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting, your light will shine
When all else fails
Neverending, Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

From the inside out, United Live

Cant wait for the thailand trip.
Josh, kev and me are going to thailand. Tentatively in may,
Unless something happens during the thai elections in may.
Been quite excited about it.
Well josh and i went to golden mile complex yesterday.
Its kinda like a 'little thailand'.
Had a rather traumatizing ecounter there tho,
this tranny came up to me and said 'i love you'.
I almost punched the living daylights out of him. or it.
haha. And he said it twice man. In a low coarse voice.
i was pissed initially..
But come to think of it, it was rather hilarious.
I attracted a trannny! wahaha
We will still enjoy our holiday in thailand yeah kev and josh?
Cant wait. cant wait....

2006-03-06T22:20:00.000+08:00

You gave Your life away for me.
Truly my heart belongs to You.

How could i ever thank You for

When You bled and died for me.
How could I ever turn away?

tonights an awesome night.
Had real meaningful conversations with people.
heart to heart chats with some pals.
So glad that i can be so real with them.
that we can be so real with each other.
im so excited and happy at the things that abba is
doing in my life now.

Really blessed to have my inner circle with me--
kev, josh, nat and ashley.
thanks guys.

2006-03-05T00:00:00.000+08:00

Was very blessed at todays ns cg.
As usual the worship was awesome. real awesome
But what was significant was this ministry of brothers.
That we can be so real with each other.
Such a family.

The year of acceleration.
That the outer man has to be broken before
the inner man can springeth forth.
Having acceleration is not to look to self.
That EVEN when we are not doing the stuff that we are suppossed to,
EVEN when we are doing wrong,
There CAN STILL BE acceleration!
Abba can take that and still turn it around in our favour.
That can our doings( or wrongdoing) take that portion of us away?
Nope. Never.

Your faithful love has always been there for me,
The greatest love that I have ever known.
What can I give to you for all You’ve given to me,
You gave it all and You are all I need.
You are my king, You are my God
The praises I bring, come from my heart.

2006-03-04T08:49:00.000+08:00

So awesome the presence.
That its never enough.
I can never get enough of it.
Just want more, so much more of it.
So content just to soak, to bask in it.

Lynne ministered mightily to me during cg.
Its so precious to have one’s spiritual mother minister to
Me again during this segment of my journey.
That somehow I felt what she preached was especially for me!

Why do I doubt?
Why do I fear?
Why do I worry?
That the Lord is with me all this while.
All along the way He is with me!
I was meant to soar.
That I will soar.

Nothing goes to waste.
That abba just takes me and reaffirms me.
That the joy of the Lord just fills me.
After all, im the cheerful one.
Thank You Lord.

Can i finish illustrating a story?
The pearls and the little lady had a chat.
The pearls were returned by the little lady to the father.
That if it wasnt time then thats the best for now.
That someday when the little lady is all ready,
Abba will hand her the pearls.
That it doesnt matter what was said and done.
The emotions doesnt matter.
Abba takes cares of everything.
Just continue with your walk to remember with abba.
its your personal walk.
Its gonna be so precious.
Glorious as you are,
You are just gonna be even more and ever so glorious.
Continue to bask in abbas love, that his true and perfect love
Will casts out just all fear.
Selah

2006-03-01T21:52:00.000+08:00

Its amazing.
The things that i put in abba's hands.
He makes all things work out for good.
I know that surely He wants the best,
And has only the best for me.
How can i ever then be disappointed?

That truly my life is not in my hands.
Its in my Daddy God's hands. :)

Been listening to Franz Ferdinand.
Smashing.

2006-02-28T20:24:00.000+08:00

Abba's hands are bigger than mine.

Party of Five.

2006-02-26T10:56:00.000+08:00

Party of five chilling out.

2006-02-18T23:09:00.000+08:00

Why worry.
Why worry about tomorrow?
Will worrying add one bit to my stature?
Will worrying solve my problems and doubts?
Will it get rid of my fears?
That if even the birds in the fields are taken care of by abba,
What more me?
What more me whom Jesus died for?

When i know that its my shepherd who leads me?
When i understand that His heart is for me,
And how much my abba loves me.
How can i worry? How can i fall?

Edmund Edmund,
Worry not about even the trivial matters.
Let not the worries of tomorrow steal the joy of the present.

CG was awesome.
The presence so strong, so tangible, so real.
Yup i know i mentioned this before.
But every time its like still so annointed,
Yet an absolutely different touch.

That althought im going thru stuff in my life,
Abba NEVER fails to meet me at where i am.
That He never disappoints.
I just am so overwhelmed by his goodness in my life.
That i recognise the people that has crossed my path.
Never coincidental but definitely supernatural.
Totally.
Truly i know God is good.
Its encompassing.
Overwhelming in fact.

Had awesome fellowship with my band of brothers just now.
Kingdom friendship.
As usual, over dinner. Ate till we were really bloated.
Has anyone ever heard of take-away from cartel?
We had to da-pao food from cartel man.
So much crap, so much laughter, so much fun.
What was said at the table stays at the table.
Muahaha.

Happy birthday Lincoln bro.

Oh and did i meantion Macs has brought back its milkshakes?
I had it today.
Yum.

2006-02-14T21:37:00.000+08:00

I did not pass my TP test. 26 points.
haha. But i know ill be a good driver.
Abba is preparing me to be a terrfic driver.

Anyway... here is my ambs family. :)
The stripy ones!

One Thing I Know

2006-02-03T23:03:00.000+08:00

Its becoming bleak.
Nothing seems to be going right.
In fact, its all turning disastrous.
You no longer have strength.
No longer have the strength to hold on to anything.
Just so tired. Too tired.
Feel so helpless.

Then it dawns upon you.
That it depends not on you holding on.
But that someone greater, someone stronger,
Is holding on to you.
So awesome. So precious.

Now, theres no way you can fall.
Open up your clenched fingers.
Let go and realise that He is holding on to you.
He will never let you fall.
Never did. Never will.

Something in your eyes I see
Reminds me of what used to be
When I was still uncertain of the truth
Sleepless nights that turned to days
Alone inside an endless space
Counting on someone to see me through

And if there's one thing I know
It's that you were never left alone
'Cause you can always on Jesus' name
And if there's one thing I pray
It's that Jesus helps you find a way
To make a change and listen to your heart
God will take away your pain if you choose to let it go
if there's one thing I know

How can I convince your heart?
His light can find you in the dark
And only He can make your blind eyes see .

For if we speak of lost things found
Or lives that have been turned around
Then tell me who knows better child than me

I would never state my life on any lesser thing
Then the cross of Christ where He gave His life to ease my suffering

Selah - One Thing I Know.

There used to be 5 of us.
I remember.
The days of 'Lobo' in camp.
Days where we joked, had fun,laughed,sweated, and stuck by each other.
Days where we were all still privates and prowlers.
Days where we had 'dream-team' duty teams.
Remember the 'legendary' christmas dinner. 13kg of meat. No joke.
And the steamboats and other feasts?
Then one ORDed. Busy with school and all.
Another ORDed. Busy with his girlfriend and never contacted us since.
One just became queer and seldom talked. Mr cool perhaps.
The other occupied with his girlfriend and work.
The last one just reminiscing the good old days.

I thought we stuck together and weathered storms.
Perhaps not 'ORD and Gfs'
I thought the party of 5 would last.
I thought wrong.
Now all thats left are memories.
Bitter sweet.

Was having steamboat with the newly posted in guys.
Deja Vu.
Got the memories workin'.

Move on edmund. its time.

That truly when im weak.
He remains strong.
That in my weakness, Hes glorified.
That being in such a state,
How can i worship Him?
He fills me.
He fills me to worship Him.
Thank You.

Oh I could sing unending songs
Of how you saved my soul
Well I could dance a thousand miles
Because of your great love.

My heart is bursting Lord
To tell of all you've done
Of how you changed my life
And wiped away the past
I wanna shout it out
From every roof top sing
For now I know that God
Is for me not against me

Everybody's singing now
Cos we're so happy
Everybody's dancing now
Cos we're so happy
If only we could see your face
And see you smiling over us
And unseen angels celebrate
For joy is in this place!

Ever come to a crossroad and ponder to think?
And ever realise that no matter which way you take,
Abba is still gonna bless you no matter what.
That with such assurance that He is always with me,
What else matters?
What else will ever matter?

That truly my life is not mine anymore.
Its His. Its His.
Lord take it and just mould me.
And use me for your glory.

On a seperate issue,
I feel light , like the weights gone.
But yet a substantial sense of loss.
Or is it vice versa?
Hrm.

There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.

Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,

Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.

I boast in nothing of myself.
But in that Jesus loves me.

I cant be certain my days will be good.
But i know that God is good.
I cant promise ill be strong.
But i know God catches me when i fall.
Abba i cant say i love you forever.
But i know abba you love me always.

Revelations are awesome but its the experience of Jesus im after.
So close its practically in my face.

Cg today was awesome.
A man's ministry.
The presence of the Holy spirit was just so tangible, so strong.
That today 21 men turned up. Its an awesome start to a new year.
Im excited. So is Coach Andy.
That our faith picture for the cg is becoming so real now.
That what we know God will bring to pass is happening.
Numbers do not matter
but that Abba takes notice of every single life.
That He will take every precious life and transform it.
Glory to glory.

Its been a blessing supporting Coach Andy.
That im just so blessed and encouraged by him.
My mentor/spiritual father/ leader and friend.
Always pointing me to what Jesus has for me and
What Jesus sees in me.
That abba wants the BEST for me.
And i will not settle for the Lentile soup, only the best will suffice.

Sometimes things might not turn out as we expect.
But i thank God that i just choose to worship Him.
That i just spend time with my abba.
That He just comes to meet me at where i am.
That He calms me, restores me, charges me and fills me.
That knowing how much my Abba loves me.
How far will i fall? How can i fall?
Coach once said even if i do fall,
I fall in grace. I fall on good ground.
I fall into the finished work at the cross.
I fall into jesus.

Im real thankful for my 'inner circle'
Kevin, Joshua and Coach Andy.
Thanks for just being there.
And the other peeps too...
Adrian, Caleb, Jo, Lincoln, Kelvin Nah, Lingkai, Joash, Edwin.
Ashley, Nat, Ester, Kim, Charissa, Shujun, Jac, karen and aiwei.
Prince and Princesses. Sons and daughers of Abba.
*applause*

This song touched me...

Through it all i know
That God is in control.
Like the sun after the storm.
His love comes shining through.

Yes i know His love for me
IS greater than all of my trials.
Like a child in His arms.
He'll carry me through it all.

Fear not my child.
I will never ever leave you
I will never forsake you even for awhile.
For you are Mine, your mine.

Your mercy found me
Upon the broken road
And lifted me beyond my failing
Into your glory.
My sin and shame dissolved
And now forevers yours ill stand.

In love never to end
To call you more than Lord
Glorious friend.

So i throw my life upon all that you are
Cause i know you gave it all for me
And when all else fades
My soul will dance with you
Where the love lasts forever.

And forever ill sing
Lord forever i will sing
Of how you gave your life away
Just to save me
Lord you saved me.

With you, where the love lasts forever.

Did you rise the sun for me?
Or paint a million stars that i may know your majesty.
Is your voice upon the wind?
Is everything ive known marked
With my maker's fingerprints?

Breathe on me
Let me see your face
Ever i will seek you

Cause all you are is all i want, always
Draw me close in your arms
Oh God, i wanna be with you.

Can i feel you in the rain?
Abandon all i am to have you
Capture me again.
Let the earth resound with praise
Can you hear as all creation lives?
To glorify one name?

-Always, Hillsongs united-

You have my heart
And I am Yours forever
You are my strength
God of grace and power

And everything You hold in Your hand
Still You make time for me
I can't understand

Praise You God of Earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change God You remain
The Holy One, My unfailing love
Unfailing love

You are my rock
The one I hold on to
You are my song
And I sing for You

Finally caught The Chronicles of Narnia. Awesome.
The whole movie is such so full of jesus, and so biblical.
Kinda like every small detail in the show actually represents something.
Kinda like every small detail in the show touched my heart.
And as the show went on, everything seemed to point to the cross.

Aslan the lion,represents the lion of judah, Jesus.
The crossing of the ice river ? Red sea.
The lamppost ? I believe its the tree of knowledge of good n evil.
The tree with blooming flowers and leaves? tree of life.
Turkish Delight? Sweets so tempting like the apple.

King Peter, so inadequate.
Or rather THOUGH OF HIMSELF as inadequate, undeserving, weak.
Yet Aslan believed in him. Reassured him that HE IS KING.
That despite of how we see ourselves, we are still kings in abbas eyes.

How when edmund(in the movie) was saved from the clutches of the evil witch,
Aslan did not shout at him, did not admonish him, did not even blame him.
Even he talked gently to him. Thats how my jesus is.
And how the holy spirit works, rebuked gently, not scolding or pushing.

That in the scene where the evil witch comfronted Aslan,
the witch reminded aslan about the law.
The devil reminded jesus about the law.
Aslan did not retort back cos he know the law is perfect.
After all he wrote it.( Aslan did say he was there when the law was given)
Jesus could not break the law cos hes perfect.
So perfect he fulfilled the law for us. Aw..

How when Aslan was going to offer himself as a sacrifice,
He said to Susan and Lucy that they could follow him no further,
And that he would have to take this journey himself.
It just reminded me of when jesus said that no other could drink from
his cup of sorrow, and that he is doing his father's work cos he just
loves us so much.

At the point of offering himself up,
the followers of the evil witch taunted Aslan.
There was something about 'pussy cat and milk'.
I believe its a typology of the roman soldiers offering jesus sour wine.
And the 'shave aslan'?
The roman soldiers stripped Jesus and gambled for his clothing.

And when the stone table broke,
Its like the stone door rolled away from the tomb,
The law broken.( or rather fulfilled)
And aslan rose, Jesus rose.
Aslan said it was love that broke the magic, the law.
That really its Jesus love for us that fulfilled the law.

The ending applies to all of us.
That we are victors in Christ.
That we are Kings, and Queens.
Victorious.

This period of time feels like an eternity.
It seems so long.
Goes pass so slowly.
Words cant adequately describe.
It aint no easy time.

Its the waiting part.
Waiting for something to happen.
Waiting for not sure what.
Thats tough.
Im not feeling good.
But God is good.
Surely surely.
HE is with me through this journey.
My walk to remember.

Pastor Prince's sermon today was terrific.
That it was just so true and arrested me on certain aspects.

What constitutes success today in our lifes?
Is it our material possessions? Or status or postitions?
hanging around with cool people? being in a cool club/cca/society?
None. None of the above. Zilch.
That its just Abba being with us.
That the bible defines succes as the Lord being with us.
Joseph was stark naked and sold as a slave.
Yet the bible proclaims him a success.
Cos the Lord was with him!!

See that the Lord with us in our circumstances.
That we are not alone.
That the fear will go once we just realised how close we are
with him EVEN in our difficult circumstances.
We cannot have the pressence of God with us and our
situations still remain as they are.
They will change.
No second thoughts. They have to.
That as we just behold how much abba loves us and how
close he is to us, our victories arise.
Its a by product. Surely surely.

Pastor talked about how when we have a grudge against someone..
We are actually going through that bad memory.
Reliving it again. Which in fact actually hurts us.
This was the part that hit me.
Praise jesus for arresting me here.
That not hating someone doesnt mean we have forgiven him.
That we, in the flesh, cannot acomplish anything good.
But as we behold how much Christ loves us and died for him,
the hate just dissapears. amazingly.
That even in relationships...
As we try to love someone.. over time our flesh kicks in and we fail.
But as we just behold Christ and the finished work at the cross,
We just CANT HELP BUT love.

shalom shalom...

Ever realised that its only when we are thirsty,
Thats when we really want to drink.
Its only when we are tired,
Thats when we really want to rest.
Its only when i see my ugly self,
thats when i know how much my abba loves me.

Say the word and i will sing for you

Over oceans deep i will follow.

If each star was a song,

And every breadth of wind praise,

It would still fail by far to say,

All my heart contains,

I simply live,

I simply live for you.

What image best describes your heart?

A water-drenched kid in front of an open fire hydrant?

Or a bristled, desert tumbleweed?

You're acquainted with physical thirst.
Stop drinking and see what happens.

Coherent thoughts vanish, skin grows clammy,
And the vital organs shut down.

Deprive your body of necessary fluid, and it will tell you.

Deprive your body of spiritual water, and it will tell you.
Dehydrated hearts send dsperate messages.
Snarling tempers. Waves of worry.
Growing guilt and fear. Hopelessness.
Resentment. Loneliness. Insecurity.

But you dont have to live with a dehydrated heart.

God invites you to treat your thirsty soul
As you would treat your physical thirst.

Just visit the well and drink deeply:

Receive Christ's work on the cross,

The energy of his Spirit,

His lordship over your life.

And his enending, unfailing love.

HE DOES THE HARD PART.

All you do is ask.

There is no spiritual 'to do' list for you to tackle,

No inventory of rules and regulations.

Just drink.
Let Christ be the water for your soul.

Come thirsty, and drink the water of life.

Rest isnt inactivity.
Rest is directed activity.
That we do not focuss on our situations.
but we focus on our big Abba.
That as we just behold the finished work at the cross.
Thats where our victory is.

When situations arise,
Do we shun the word or do we have more of it?
That when push comes to shove,
What is it we hold on to?
Hrm.

On a lighter note,
I almost knocked into a blangla while driving earlier in the week.
He was wearing all black and standing behind the tree next to the traffic light.
When i made my left turn, he dashed out and i almost knocked him.
Thank God i saw him in time.
Everyone laughed when they heard my story.
Everyone.
But seriously why the all black look? Hrm no pun intended.
Flutterfly said thats why blangras should never stop smiling.
-flashes white smile-
Muahahaha.
Wicked.

Sometimes when you strive too much for excellence,
you fall under the flesh and succumb to law.
That we think what we achieved is based on our abilities.
That we lose sight of our abba.
That He is the one the blesses us.
Thank you Lord for just pulling me back.

Rest.
Yet do not strive to be in a state of rest.
That somehow the harder we try to rest,
We unknowingly fall under the law.
When we rest,
We just inundate our spirit man with the word.
That we just keep hearing and hearing.
Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing of the word.
And the victories over our situations just comes.
That the victories are a by-product.
Effortless.

Theres a thin line between reason and insanity.
Notice the mentally unstable think too much all the time?
That we cant reply on our reasoning all the time.
That its Christ in us, Hope of ALL GLORY.

Rest.
Hear the word.
Feed.
Grow.
Enough said.
