thoughts of the day
1. pastor's message.
2. rising up in both cell group & ministry.
3. we should not put our lives in the hands of man.


today's service was - FANTASTIC.
the moment i stepped into hall 8, i could really feel the presence of God. it seldom happens but i'm praying hard that the presence of God would be like that(or even stronger) during all the seven christmas services next week. =)
praise & worship was great,
the sermon was wonderful.

the message today really inspired me alot.
to dream a dream from heaven, step out in faith & fight for it.
indeed, dreams are like a foetus & the dreamer is like the pregnant mother. the mother has to receive the baby, protect it then nurture it. the same theory applies for dreams as well. you receive the dream from God, protect it, then nurture it.
never had i ever heard anyone tell me how to live my dream in such layman terms. it was really inspiring & made me so determined to run for my dream while i'm still young. indeed, i don't wanna live my life as a mundane man, but i wanna live my as exciting as possible, keeping myself pure in the sight of the Lord at the same time. i wanna inspire many though these dreams and visions that God has given/is giving/would give to me. i don't wanna be just a specator of the kingdom of God, looking at it passing by, with the entire popuation being exciting and enthusiastic while i'm feeling lukewarm and comfortable. but i wanna be a participator of all these action! i wanna be part of this marathon - to end this race so well that at the end of the day, i would be before God, watching this video that He has made of my life - from the moment i exisisted til the moment i reached the finishing line. all the ups and downs and all my contributions to His kingdom.
& all i want to hear from Him is "well done". =)

& pastor really emphasized on tradition -> transition -> transformation
we can't deny that sometimes we really seek so hard for something but yet, are unprepared.
sometimes we may be so enthusiastic in inviting our friends to church but in the end, when they agree to come, we feel awkward, we feel that it's hard to comunicate & we doubt the possibility of them responding to the altarcall.
but today, i had learnt that we cannot feel awkward! we cannot lose faith! we cannot doubt God's strength!
N317, let's trust God this christmas alright! let's not lose heart this christmas! let's not hold back our phone bills! let's not just give God our financies but also our time & energy! as long as that one soul can be saved, it's worth all our efforts! the word of God says that one who win souls is wise. let's all be wise people in the eyes of God alright! let's not stay in our comfort zone & see the kingdom of God run past us all the time. but let's step out even more this time!
let's say YES!!! to God and go out to the harvestfields as labourers to bring in the harvest this christmas! we're gonna reap the harvest this christmas alright! the harvest would be so plentiful that our storehouse cannot hold! AMEN! =D

GO N317!!!

N318 COMING UPPPPPPPP!!!

to be continued... =)
