Hey People....

2009-06-22T03:41:00.002+08:00

hi!!!
welcome back to our little pigeon hole..
where accept all forms of letter to God or His fellow disciples..
lol..
i'm making crap here..
ok..
honestly,
when i'm crapping it means that there is something wrong with me.... =D
er..
i was sharing with my brother(blood-related)about wanting to be missionary.
and he wasn't against it but he wanted me to think if i can handle it you see.

things you have to encounter:
1) parents & friends : BYE BYE... yes, keep in touch but not very often.
2) loneliness for sure
3) strange encounter in other countries
4) stress - these people they are gonna be the servant of the lord but it depends on how i bring the message across CORRECTLY
5) i might not get a life partner.
6) i might have to give up my dog.
7) i have to go for training to be one.
8) very strong spiritual warfare.

things i might face:
1) DEATH situations

yea..
all these are just the basic things that i fear.
and its not all yet.
i think there is still more you see.
the reason why i share is because i really need someone to pray for me.
especially my brothers and sisters in Christ.
i really need help.
i don't know how..
lol..
ask God for the direction to pray.
but i think most importantly is that God continues to speak to me about this.
like why i wanna go.
where.
how.
is it really God's will. (doubt again) - help me to place my faith in the Lord
overcome of fears.
yea.
all these things.
so do keep me in prayer yea?
i really am in need of help for this.
its BIG thing to me.
so yea.
thanks!

God bless,
Melissa

Melmel's week...

2009-05-23T10:12:00.002+08:00

hi all....
i really hope to see more people coming in to type new post and maybe you can also share your struggles here... so that we can also pray for you...

btw,
this week has been quite ok for me...
but sometimes i feel super duper dry..
i feel kinda drained out...
due to school...
and choir pract has been quite hectic, but my group quite slack...
den i feel a bit scare also because im singing bass.
and bass is like super important..
so got pressure you know...

den for lit,
it's even crazier..
becoz my book is about sex/drama kind.
so when you read right, you feel disgusted and very irritated(for me la)..
den when i read it,
it is considered as not the deep understanding..
how should i say..
erm..
it's like,
lit you must read alot of times,
understand every word..
den you see whether this word have diff meaning anot...
so like,
during class..
my teacher(she) will explain every single scene.
and you can get so grossed out..
everyone in my class was like crazed out.
it's just horrible..
but luckily,
i have this book called "the truth about sex"
its a book with God's words in it...
so it helped me with my battle against my own flesh...
i tell you,
this book is super good ok..
i like it.
because got activity for you to do..
then they ask you to write down your thoughts on the book,
so it becomes like the author talking to you personally.

well..
my week has been just so busy...
and lectures keep coming..
den i cant absorb properly..
its just crazy..

but i believe God has given me the strength..
i can sense peace in my heart whenever i think about God when i have all these troubles...
i hope he does too in your life..
=)

Proverbs 3

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

⁶ in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

A choice is set before you now

living or dying, blessing or cursing

You know, the time has come around

to turn from your fighting

the life that He gives

He gives you forever

Choose life, the way that it's true

from the one who chose you

your father in Heaven

Choose life

Trust the Lord with all your heart

all of your soul and all of your being

Hold on, listen and obey

surrender your life into His keeping

chorus

And the weight you're under

will be lifted away

And the world will wonder

what happened here today

then you'll stand right here and say

chorus

-delete all my worldly music whether from my mp3 or phone.
-see another view of reading god's words n doing devotion to b much fun.
-LASTLY TO BE MORE LIKE CHRIST!!!..

FAITH

2009-04-16T21:56:00.002+08:00

This is a story about a dog that was born on Christmas Eve in 2002.
He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg
which needed to be amputated... He of course could not wal k when he was born.
Even his mother did not want him. He was rejected and scorned.

His first owner also did not thin k that he could survive.
Therefore, he was thinking of putting him to sleep..

At this time, his present owner Jude Stringfellow
came into his life and wanted to take care of him...

She was determined to teach and train this dog to wal k by himself.
She thought, all we need is a little faith.

Therefore she named him 'Faith.'

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surf board to let him
feel the movements of the water. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and
to reward him for standing up and jumping around.
Even the other dogs at home helped to encourage him to walk.
Amazingly, after only 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned
to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward.
After further training in the snow, he can now wal k like a human being

Faith loves to wal k around now.
No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him.
He is now becoming famous on the international scene.
He has appeared in various newspapers and TV shows.
There is even one boo k entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him.

He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.

His present owner Jude Stringfellow has given up her teaching job
and plans to take him around the world to preach,
'that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul.'

In life there are always undesirable things.

Perhaps a person who feels things are not going as well as
they could will feel better if they change their point of view
and see things from another perspective.

Perhaps this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone.
Perhaps everyone can appreciate and
be thankful for each beautiful day that follows.

Life is the continual demonstration of the power of thinking positive and having faith.

Believe in yourself.

Never lose faith.

On the way home, God showed me His faithfulness.

2009-04-16T20:48:00.001+08:00

as i was going home.
i was with a group of friends.
they asked me,
"hey mel, how was your life like in secondary school?"
i was like,
hmm...
"where should i begin"
and then i started out with P6.
it was where life started becoming crazy for me..

During PSLE period i think,
i received a call..
my uncle called me and told me something that i never expected.
my dad met with a car accident.
he was kept in ICU waiting for operation.
so, my uncle came to fetch me.
i cried like nobody's problem.
It was the first time i see a accident.
i mean really, i experience a accident that severe.
my dad was punched by the motor handle in the eye.
and he was bleeding from head to toe.
when i was traveling, all i could do was sincere prayer that my dad would be alright.
he was my everything.
but i felt alone. throughout.
i prayed but as if i prayed to nothing.

when i arrived, my whole entire family, and i mean extended family.
they were all moaning.
especially my mum.
i went berserk.
my mind was filled with thoughts.
"can i go and see daddy?"
my bro answered,
"yes, but he mustn't see us."
"why?"
"he gets agitated. because he is being tied up and he keeps wanting to get out of the bed."
i sobbed like mad.
as i walked in to ICU with my bro.
fear gripped me like crazy.
i peeked from the side looking through the glass day.
i saw a man filled with blood and disfigured.
tied with clothe around his hands to the bed.
mumbling to be untied, asking for us.
my family.
he was saying,
"karin! let me out! zhengxin! where is Melissa!"
at that point he was still wondering where i am.
i met my bro's eyes.
his eyes were filled with tears.
the first time.
we went out to join the rest.
"when is dad gonna get operated?"
"the next day"
"what?! how can he withstand the pain?!"
"doctors are busy at the moment"
and that was the end of the conversation.
sleepless nights, attended school with a weak body.
tears never ending.
it was horrible..
and of course, my dad survived, but he had a heart attack due to the accident partially.
yup.
1 blow after another.
CRAZY MOMENT.
i was screaming,
GOD, who the hell have you got the rights to do this to my family?
my family has been worshiping you like devoted servants!
of course, at that time, the God was the Guan Yi Ma at that time.
but thankfully, he survived.
but bills came.
financially, we were feeling pressurized.
parents working all day.

Sec1
thats when i started getting boyfriends.
trying to get love.
i started acting tough too.
seeking attention as if i was the big boss in my class and that people will follow me.
people fear me.
i felt the power.
got into fights in school.

Sec2
it aint getting better.
lol.
i got more boyfriends till my principle got to know bout it.
and parents knew.
i was in deep trouble.
more fights.
more rebellious to my family.
scolded teachers.
punches wall.
anything, you name it.
CRAZY and fun-filled life eh?
later,
i got to know God.
and i meant Jesus.
but i walked away, not knowing why i should even treat him as one when i don't even know him.

Sec3
i slowly got to know God in Harvester as Christina continued to reach out to me.
lesser boyfriends to zero.
study was bad.
F9 all the way.
but my cell group never gave up on me when i gave myself up.
my dad didn't either, neither my mum.
i gave up on myself.
later,
their encouragement pushed me.
i tried my very best to do everything.
even in band with all the responsibilities.
that's when i felt God's love and hand reaching out to me.
People loved me for who i am.
when im in need.
i have people to help me whom God has chose to use them to make a diff in my life.
but of course.
things werent always that peaceful.
still i still had family problems.
i had quarrels with my mum almost every time complaining about her not spending time with me.
she slapped me twice in public.
lol.
that was how crazy my life still was.

Sec4
grades was still below average but i made in during O levels =D.
family still in financial problems.
there was once,
my mum was so depressed about money.
she banged her head against the wall repeatedly.
i cried like a P1.
you could hear me catching my breath as i was choked.
i was so terrified.
i couldn't speak properly either.
i ran away from my mum when she tried to calm my cry.
i called Jasmine immediately.
and she calmed me down though she had a hard time listening to my words clearly.
honestly, i never had so much fear in my life.
i had met so many fears that was almost losing my beloved ones.
it built the fear in me so deeply that its so hard to let go.

i was going to get baptized when i was 16 near December period.
my family again.
against it.
i was fighting alone with my family.
not really fighting but as i had no support at home.
(my bro went overseas at the same time)
i got scolded.
abandoned.
even till the day before i was getting baptized.
they still didn't agree to it.

NOW:
look at how much God has bless me.
my life changed.
no bf.
results of course, not very nice but still striving.
(christian walk is not a bed of roses)
financially, still ok and besides, my family no longer fight over money.
i hardly even quarrel with my parents.
its just awesome.
i have great friends in IJC.
and i got baptized with my parents witnessing it!
its just WOW.
i have a wonderful dog of course.
still there are many things im struggling with.
You see, people always tend to look at negative points more than the positive points.
and thus, we tend to forget what has God actually done in my life.
We tend to think God isn't moving.
but hey.
God IS MOVING.
just that, it may either appear slow or fast.
and i admit im still struggling my walk with God and even with my life.
But i have God to help me.
and i'm not alone.
i feel so blessed.

therefore my brothers and sisters.
don't be discouraged by anything that comes.
Seek god.
See the things he have done for you.
praise him.
pray and face it.
he is the creator of the world,
and he is with you.
why do you fear he won't help you with your problems.
Everything is possible with Christ.
=D
Don't be discouraged by what is going on NOW!

JUST DO IT!

love,
melmel

2009-03-24T19:38:00.002+08:00

yesterday,
i actually had a chat with my dad.
erm..
it was great..
he asked me about how i really feel about JC and how i am coping it.
and i shared many things.
i brought God in too.
and the good thing was,
i heard many things about my dad.
he actually went to a church before but it was a catholic church.
anyway,
i think he felt that Buddha was more realistic.
because he was saved many times due to a talisman.
so his faith was to that Buddha.
so i get to really know him.
and he knew what i desire out of my family,
like trust and all that.
so we had an in-depth talk.
and it was great.
though awkward but hey,
how many times do you actually have a talk like that with your parents.
and through this i really felt how much blessed i was.
there are people w/o parent,
people having broken families.
but i am so blessed,
to have a loving father. amen!
=D
and i think this helps me on how i look at God also.
i really wanna thank God.
=)))))))

and today,
i had some quality time with Peggy.
i really managed to know things about her.
and that i was able to her struggles.
i really thank God that he allowed people around me to share things with me.
=)))

all these things,
God has really favored me.
i have received so many things from God by grace..

Praise Him. Voice of TRUTH. (mel)

2009-03-23T16:44:00.003+08:00

Remember and be encouraged. I see your trouble before it arrives, and I am listening for your request, poised to defend you and meet any need from on high. Receive this revelation today and prohibit future struggles. Imagine Me sitting, poised and waiting for your request, and meditate on the significance.

i read this on the website..
http://www.allaboutprayer.org/gods-support.htm

and as i was listening to the music called : Voice of truth

i believe God has spoken to me about myself..
i have been facing so much disappointments in my own life and my walk with God.
when i heard Him speak and the song that was played,
my heart crumble..
tears were dripping inside my heart...

many times,
i have been facing troubles with school work.
i felt so stressed up, i even skipped school today..
i bluff myself that i am having a fever.
when in actual fact, i was actually fine.
and i wonder why am i doing such things?
FEAR.
i fear of facing stress.
fear of knowing that i can't cope with my work.
fear of being unhappy in school.
fear of being unfulfilled.
all these fears accumulated.
resulting me to be numb inside.
full of confidence on the outside.
but whenever God touches me, i fall so easily..
sometimes,
i find that i am blind.
I just can't seem to see God.
I find that i am deaf.
I can't hear God.
when in actual fact, He is just by my side.
i simply run away from God because i don't wanna experience healing.
I didn't wanna cry in front of God.
i wanted to appear strong.
but God never fail, amen.

Oh,what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
to put the giant on the ground
and the waves they don't seem so high
from on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says "do not be afraid"
And the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are

amen!
this song has shared that God is right there.
right there to support you.
i caught this song when i watched "facing the giant"
my giant was fear of disappointment, studies.
but God tells me that i don't have to be afraid.
and that this is for his glory.
God has prepared many things for me.
for me to be in good condition in life.
where's my trust in God?
=D
i am gaining it back..
thanks to my Lord...

today @ service

2009-03-22T16:37:00.001+08:00

lol...
i dunno why..
but i felt honestly tired..
as in..
i dunno...
just stressed up with work..
and i just find myself really suffocated..
and i have so much fears in my heart that it caused me to feel very very very scared.
and thus, i feel weird...
and just feel like shouting and crying..
sigh...
i have no idea..
pray for me that God will heal me totally..

Relationship

ever wondered why does Teens wanna have a relationship?
how?
what is relationship?

if you noticed,
almost every 1 out of 3 teens are in a relationship.
but what makes me wonder is do they actually love one another?
do they know what is love?
sometimes, i always get the same answer on what love is.
" oh, love is when i'm willing to die for the one i love"

but what exactly is love?

Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. The word love is both a verb and a noun. Love is not a single feeling but an emotion built from two or more feelings. Anything vital to us creates more than one feeling, and we also have feelings about our feelings (and thoughts about our feelings). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
this is found in wiki.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ( 1 cor 13: 4-7)

As mentioned in the bible,
don't you agree with me that that is what love is really all about?
the bible has covered every aspect on love.
Being so precise, how can one doubt God's words.
But anyway, it's out of the topic today.

Let me ask the Teens, even myself..
In your relationship,
do you have all these?
does your partner has it?
this is the basic guideline of love.
A healthy kind of relationship.
if you do not have even a few of these guidelines,
what makes you think you love him/her?
(in a healthy way)
Or he/she loves you?
Are you actually ready for it?
Relationship not only means loving one another,
but also her/his problem belongs to yours.
So you have two burdens,
yours and your partner.
Given at this age,
do you think you can manage?
With all your studies, your own family, friends and (Christians) your walk with God.
Christians, we have to pray and ask God if that person is the one that god has given us.
Don't worry, God says that He has made plans to prosper us not to harm us.
God has already prepared a partner perfectly for us.
So why rush into getting a relationship?

- why do teens get a relationship?
unloved.
simple.
just that one word.
they feel empty inside.
lack of something.
they think by having BF/GF,
they can feel the love.
But slowly, they realize they never felt filled inside their hearts.
Yea, maybe they felt something when their partners touch them physically or even just say "i love you".
But slowly, that feeling dies off.
Or even they might feel tired.
And quarrels come in and one starts to mention break-up.
And to them, their world looks as if it crumbled down.
Why?
they pin everything onto this relationship.

- how do they get into one?
"hey, would you be my stead?"
"hey, we stead for fun la?"
every time, teens always tend to get into a relationship,
without commitment, or they have not even realize the commitment and responsibility they have to bear.
relationship is about COMMITMENT.

My advice is that: Don't get into a relationship unless you are ready. And for Christians, ask God before you decide.
Hear His inner voice and read through his words. Ask fellow bro/sis in Christ, to be your guidelines.

PS: my next post will be on Teen's speak Violence.

Anyone realize what has been the most current problem in a Teens life?

sorry, but im gonna put it bluntly.
Sex and relationship.
if you have made some research,
47.8% of US high school students reported that they had ever had sexual intercourse.
27% of 13- to 16-year-olds had been involved in intimate or sexual activity, 8% had had a casual sexual relationship.
the teen pregnancy rate rose 3% in 2006, to 41.9 births per 1,000.
an estimated 1 in 4 teen girls has at least one STD at any given time.55% of 15– to 19-year-olds have engaged in heterosexual oral sex, 50% have engaged in vaginal sex and 11% have had anal sex.
CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!
it's gross, but all these are all facts!(its a general gauge)
it makes me really angry when i see how young teens give up their virgins at such a young age.
i don't despise them, but i feel a sense of urge to address this issue.
to use this blog to allow teens to know what is going on.
what is right.
and what is wrong.
A few simple qn:
why have sex?
what does sex means?
by right, who can have sex?
who created and how it started?
what is the consequence of having sex?
ok.
i will be addressing these qns..
1. why have sex?
many teens believe sex is LOVE.
sex is making that person mine.
sex is just for pleasure.
sex is just free.
sex is COOL.
that's what most of the Teens out there thinks!
but what is the correct reason of having sex?
to get PREGNANT!
to have a BABY!
you don't just have sex just for fun with anyone whom you might not walk down the aisle in the next 10 yrs?!
sex can only lead to getting pregnant.
2. what does sex means?
to us, sex means a blessing that God has gave upon us to build a family.
but to the world?
sex has been taken for granted and has been used just for leisure and irresponsible act!
3.who can have sex by right?
duh!
married people.
4.who created sex? and how it has started?
God created sex but its for allowing married couples to have a family.
how it started?
Adam and Eve.
5. Consequences of having underage sex.
- high rate of people getting AIDS/STD
you nvr know who has aids or std.
this increase teens to have higher chance of getting it.
- high rate of abortion
teens might not be able to provide for their babies.
thus leading it to abortion
or they might not even see it as their responsibility.
what is this?!
are you still human?
babies.
live.
dead due to your irresponsibility.
due to your so called "love".
- affects rates of couples being divorced
upon letting your opposite partner know only at that time.
partners usually see it as not being honest and truthful.
because you did not even tell them your past.
and plus, most decent husband and wife can't really accept the fact.
but there are still some.
but what are your chances?
- lose the "pureness" in you
i have friends who really regretted what they did.
but yet they can't do anything, because this kind of act, can never be reversed.
and all they can do is calling themselves, dirt.
- disgusted among friends
- people labeling you as "cheap"
- high rate of getting pregnant
yes. safety precaution.
so wad.
99.9 % only.
0.1%?
there is still a RISK?
- most likely get jailed/expelled.
schools will not accpet their students being caught in such acts.
BUT
there is always a way out.
say NO to sex.
if you have been one before,
don't fear of getting out of that relationship.
get a elder to help you out.
if you really need someone to help you,
comment in this blog.
i'm sure we will be more than willing to help.
and just to let you know,
people sometimes cling onto a relationship just because of physical desires.
anyway, we won't look down on you.
in fact, we appreciate your honesty and that you really need to help.
and also not forgetting,
we have a "big guy" up there to help us out.
don't fear..
you are not alone.
and let me just end of,
if you have lost it, ask for forgiveness(to yourself) and carry on with a CHANGED life.

ps: i will be covering on RELATIONSHIP in depth next post.

walking by the sea..

2008-11-22T20:43:00.002+08:00

when i was at the chalet...

i woke up in the moring...

then when i stepped out from my chalet room..

wah!!

big breeze..

so shiok!!

somemore i jus woke up...

so can imagine like how chilling it is...

den i walked towards the beach...

at the ends of the sea, you could see the orange sun waking up.. saying his greetings..

and you can feel the sand under your feet...

trying to climb up unto your feet...

followed by the cold(dirty) water trying their best to swallow your feet...

sand started to give way..

such a wonderful time...

den i thought of God...

looking at how precise everything is made.. how beautiful...

it made me wanna praise God..

sand made so refine... every detail of it so detailed..

orange sun... its ORANGE !! my fav colour... making a perfect reflection on the water..

it made me feel that God made all these things so detailed.

den when He made me..

aint that even more detailed and showed how much we matter to Him...

i mean if He is more detailed in us. it shows how much more He loves us.

and it also showed me how unique i was because if we notice, every sand particle are diff in size and colour shades.. not one is identical...

same goes for us...

he made us so diff dat we cant find another siew li or even another nelson or ning jie in this world that is totally the same!

PRAISE GOD AMEN!! =D

hey guys..
how have you been? hm.. these days seem like pretty few of us have been discouraged by stuff going around in our lives.. jiayou!

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;therefore I will wait for him." Lamentation3:19-24

love,

hey..

haha.. thank you for your honesty.. not being afraid of wat others will say to do wat u feel in your heart to do..

anyway.. i read this somewhere abt baptism..
"Baptism doesn't make u a member of God's family; only faith in Christ does. Baptism shows you are part of God's family. Like a wedding ring, it is a visible reminder of an inward commitment made in your heart. It is an act of initaition, not somehting you put off until you are spiritually mature. The only biblical condition is that you believe."

ya can read galatians2:20, mattew28:19-20, james2:17-18..
yup

jas

2008-03-31T20:07:00.002+08:00

T.T

our blog is like... flat?

hahaha...

anyway..

many things happened these few days....

29 march!

i re-accepted christ!!!

haha...

it was totally cool!!

dat day,

i felt that i didnt really had a relationship wif Jesus.

But i had de sudden urge to really have a true relationship wif him.

in the past,

i accepted Him becoz of religion and becoz of peer pressure.. lol..

yea!!

so it was really cool!!

den jasmine went down wif me..

talked to me and we prayed!!

and honestly,

i see things differently..

i no longer vent anger..

i no longer scold PROFANITIES dat often..

and i became much HAPPIER!!!!

hhaa...

accepting Christ was totally cool!!

really!!

so to ppl out there,

dun hesitate to try it out.

to experience God's love.

His arm is always there to embrace you again..

he wouldnt be angry at you for forsaking him for so long..

but he would prepare the greatest celebration to welcome you!

heheh...

from the bible..

oh ya..

but there was another sad thing...

dat made everyone worried...

it was bout SL.. not to be named openly..

She had some family probs.

and yea...

things were kinda yea...

i talked to my bro about it...

askin him like wad we can do?

he said challenge her..

for the bible says that if someone slap you on the left..

let them slap also on the right..

so...

dat was wad my bro taught me....

oh ya..

and he questioned me too...

he asked me, am i a christian..

i said YES!

and he said why?

i said becoz i said the sinner prayer and i had faith in him..

he said. satan also had faith in him..

so wad makes u think you are a christian..

and de bible also said baptize den u are a christian..

becoz even Jesus was baptized!

so it really made me ponder...

so could anyone give me a ans?

PS: why God gave us 5 finger?

becoz it stands for J.E.S.U.S

why 10 fingers?

becoz it stands for H.A.L.L.E.L.U.J.A.H

Why these two hands?

becoz it says.

Hallelujah JESUS!

our hands were created to give him praise!

FACING THE GAINTS WITH BOLD & COURAGE!
1 samuel 17

Facing our gaints with coruage.

Factors that may cause low-self esteem in david when he was young. (1 sam 16:1-13)
His family did not se any potenial in him.
He was pushed around to do boring work.
He was exclued from important events.
His bro despised him. (1 sam 17:28)

Circumstances that justify David's fear to avoid then goliath challenge.

* he has to face e Goliath alone*

where does David's healthy self-esteem & coruage come from? (1 sam 17:26-46)

David made a public declaration of his allegance&loyalty to e Almighty , Creater God.
David testify of his true life expensive with God.
he did not see himself talkin e challenge alone.
he was confront of God's power n ability in e sitution.

* His personal goal in life is to make God famous. v46*

Amen!!!

well,

todae it was quite a tiring day for me somehow.

den i was quite sad today also.

becoz jasmine was sick and i didnt get the chance to have discipleship todae. ):

and when bethes actually helped me and chris to intro to us our chinese tutor.

i was oh my.

i was scared.

becoz i think i dare not face failure?

*fear

so i was like scared of failure.

so i nearly cried.

yea.

but jacqueline and chris and ave was dare to chill me down.

so i was like.

ok..

yup.

anyway,

ok back to my devotion.

LIFE OF GRATITUDE

1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20Do not despise prophecies, 21but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22Abstain from every form of evil.
23Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.

One way that i have learnt through this scripture was that in order to live against sins it is to live out active gratitude.

it somehow teaches us to think positive.

if you were to think that way,

you might not have a sad or demoralised emotions.

hence you werent feel like for example,

envy someone becoz she has sth better than you.

In fact,

envy is a sin as it is written in Mark 7:20-23.

although we might not be willing to say thanks to god when you for example,

lose a competition.

but we all do noe that why he allow this to happen,

there has to be a reason or a purpose.

God wouldnt want to make you sad out of sheer fun.

in fact he might just wanna make your emotion stronger.

so think about it,

if you were to give thanks every now and den.

wont you feel a lot happier rather den sulking almost every min complaining.

Love is patient n kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or prouD or rude. Love does not demend its own way. Love is not irritable, n it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is nv glad bout injustice but rejoices whenever e truth wins out. Love nv gives up, nv loses faith, it always hopeful, n endures through everY circumstance.
--1 Cor 13:4-7--
*Love is a commitment n a way of acting, noT necessarily a feeling. =)*

walking on water

2008-02-12T00:18:00.000+08:00

hey..

haha.. thanks for sharing and honesty.. maybe ya can share that during cell also..haha..

hm.. anyway.. this is my devotion for today.. and kinda connected to other stuff God has been speaking to me..

Matthew 14:25-31 (The Message)
24-26Meanwhile, the boat was far out to sea when the wind came up against them and they were battered by the waves. At about four o'clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them walking on the water. They were scared out of their wits. "A ghost!" they said, crying out in terror.
27But Jesus was quick to comfort them. "Courage, it's me. Don't be afraid."
28Peter, suddenly bold, said, "Master, if it's really you, call me to come to you on the water."
29-30He said, "Come ahead."
Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, "Master, save me!"
31Jesus didn't hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, "Faint-heart, what got into you?"

in the NIV version, Jesus asked Peter, "you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

haha.. when i read this.. haha kinda felt alot of times im like Peter.. maybe at the start im like "ya God.. k watever u say i will believe and do".. but then along the way.. when i start seeing things happening that r not wat i expected.. or when things mess up.. or when nuthing happens.. den i start to ask God, "God wat r u doing".. i start to get scared.. start imagining all the other bad things that can happen.. just like peter.. and bcos of that.. i some sort of start "drowning"..

hm.. ya noe in the verses.. when peter screamed for help, "Jesus didn't hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand." when i read that i was like "cool".. its like the same in Luke8:22-25, where Jesus calemd the storm.. the disciples freaked when they saw the storm.. the troubles.. then Jesus was sleeping.. they freaked even more.. but they din noe that Jesus was right there.. he was gona still the storm.. save peter.. but they just relied on what they saw.. letting their own fear grip them.. haha.. many times im like that also.. but thank God.. God wants us to trust him bcos "he will not let your foot slip, he who watches over you will not slumber (sleep)" psalm121:3

haha.. hope ya get wat im saying.. tc!

Slaves to righteousness

Romans 6:15-19

15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
16Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?
17But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,
18and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

i read this verse from a magazine called "OUR JOURNEY"

well,

there is this qn at the bottom of the magazine.

Qn: In what areas of my life am i still a slave to sin? Galatians 5 talks about the fruit of the Spirit. What fruit of God's Spirit do i see in my life?

Upon asking myself these questions,

i realised that wow,

honestly there is so many areas i need to work on.

we humans tend to do at least 1 sin a day.

i mean come on.

honestly, ok maybe for me only.

for me, i am like dat.

there is always sth that i would comment on and my feelings would turn out negative.

eg. i would always complain about a particular teacher and then i will be angry and thoughts of strangling the teacher would be in my mind.

now, that is sin.

becoz i actually "make" it happen in my mind.

anyway back to the qn,

i admit i am still a slave to sin.

becoz i do still scold vulgar words at times.

vent anger at friends without self-control.

these are eg dat i still commit.

and i knew my ans for the 2nd qn.

i did not really have a fruitful Spirit.

it is hard to control sometimes due to temptation.

BUT there is a solution.

GOD is the answer!

i decided,

i wanna be a slave to righteouness.

i have to change all these negative things.

so cell,

my qn to you to think about is,

'slave to sin or slave to righteousness?'

in de end it is still your choice.
