Living thru e Word
Starting Time:2.24am

hmmm.. oso dunno why i'm still not sleeping at this hour.. hi all, it's actually 2.24am when i'm writing this blog.. juz can't sleep tonite, maybe becos of wat happen yest.. dun wan to mention wat happen yest, it's over and everything's okay oredi..

Actually had alot of thoughts again for everythings tat are happening ard me.. Change of job, School ending, tat "issue" yest etc etc..

Juz tis thought tat came to my mind, does anyone really care abt how am i goin on and how i feel? Of Coz i knw all my frens care and concern for me, tat's for sure but i'm talkin abt concern when i'm not the one sayin or tellin them.. as much as i can, when i meet up or call them, i will sincerely ask abt hw they are and willing to be a listenin ear for them when they need me.. sometimes an sms i will send to encourage ppl i knw goin thru things in life.. but juz felt tat when nw i need encouragement, i found none givin me, maybe no one knw tat or they dun tink i may feel down cos i'm always happy.. anyway, i'm human afterall..

of coz it's enough to have God as my encouragement but God has said tat we gonna share each other burden, tink i have being sharing ppl's burden, neglecting tat i need ppl to share my burden as well.. of coz everythin wif me is ok and alrite but juz felt tat everyone needs ppl's encouragement and i do too..

remembering e last encouragement ppl gimme was from someone who is not very close to me.. juz a normal fren..

Genuine frens will always tink of his/her frens comfort, concern more than his/her own.. "Be there".. tat's wat Jesus did, He's there being cruxified to be redeemer for mankind, He's there being tempted by Satan to show us tat we can do tat and be like Him as well.. He's there asking Peter whether do Peter love Him to show tat we are to forgive others and be like HIm as well..

haha.. tink maybe i'm askin too much from frenship or am i?.. ..

Anyway, i knw God has brought me thru so much and i knw He will bring me thru even more.. knwin e Word is good but living e Word is more impt..

Gonna be a man tat's living thru e Word..

Ending Time:3.28am

Making the right decision in life
As a tribute to all who visit my webby, tat’s a treat for all of u.. tis few weeks i will be posting some of my preaching sermons.. it may help those who are goin thru tat certain situation in life.. All these sermons I’m posting are not from my preachin test but are sermons I prepared along e way.. hope u guys will get touch reading all these sermons..

First sermon I’m posting is

“Making the right decision in life”

Decision, Decision, Decision..
We always face decision in our life. Decision will affect the course of our life and we can never escape the reality of making a decision. Whether it is minor or major, a decision still has to be made. It is like we come to a crossroad where we have to choose either the left route or right route. We can’t choose both, one has to be chosen and that’s the decision.
When you have chosen it, be focus on that route. Never regret what you choose.

Let me share with you three keys on how to make an unregretful decision. They all start with the letter “P”.

Key #1: Pray
The power of prayer..
We need to pray when we are in a crossroad where decision has to be made. When you pray and God has given you an answer for that situation, just obey Him and do it. Sometime when we pray and hear from God, we never act out what He said.

There are no right or wrong decisions in life to make. (Pro 16:33)But its every decision is from the LORD.. A good example is me choosing to go to Bible school instead of university this year. Friends, decisions are never right or wrong. Like my example, it is not wrong to go to university this year and not act out what God told me to go to Bible school. It is not a wrong decision, just that i will miss out God’s plan upon my life. His ways are greater than our ways, His thoughts are greater than our thoughts.
Just make sure that when you make that decision, God is with that decision and is with you. I believe the best assurance someone can get is when he/she makes that decision, God agrees with the decision.

When you make that decision, there’s a second key we need to do

Key #2: Plan
When you fail to plan, you plan to fail. When God give us the vision and you make a decision to follow that vision, don’t just pray and think that is it. Friends, don’t say God will do everything for me when i obey Him. Friends, faith without works is dead. Having faith in God is good but all you can do after obeying Him is to sit back and relax and think God will bless you, you have to wait longer. God take no pleasure in those who are lazy.

Let me give you an example, i will take me as an example again. I always want to go into full-time in church in tv ministry. I pray about it and have made the decision. It is good to make that decision but if i stop at this point, i will not see it happen so i must plan.

When you know what you want, you will know what you need to do to get what you want.

Friends, have a plan in what you decide to do.

The third key is the most difficult key cos many people always fail in this area.

Key #3: Pressing on / Patience
It is easy to make a decision and give up but hard to make a decision and press on with it. This is where a person character builds up, it is also where God will mould you. This is the most difficult part, it’s when you don’t see anything happening but have to trust in God’s promises. When you don’t see God’s hand, trust God’s heart.

Many people want their prayer, their decision to come true as soon as possible. Friends, God will not give us what we cannot handle. The reason why God is delaying His answers and why you still don’t see anything happening when you make that decision may be due to the fact that you have not reach the stage where God can mould you. Be broken before God so that He can use you. I have told a lot of my friends too that it is also because of our capacity, we don’t have the capacity to handle the things that are to come when we make that decision.

Friends, what you need to do after praying and planning is to be fervent in your walk with Him. Press on and be patient, you may not see anything happening in the natural but in the spiritual, something is happening. The hardest thing a man can do in tough times is to be still and know that He is God.

Friends, i pray that all of you who are going thru some dilemma or situation in life to pray and seek God, plan and ask God to guide you and finally hold fast to His confession.

It is good to believe in God, many people believe He is God but it is better to obey and trust God..
Friends, have faith in God..
Faith--> Forsake All I Trust Him

Hi guys, i'm back to blog again.. went to paya lebar methodist church for prayer meeting. had prata for lunch and it was very nice..

God is really good cos when i am bothered by "tat" issue, He bring frens in my life to bring me thru.. He truly lives forever in my life and i will never let Him go..
Anyway, i have placed everything onto e altar of God, i'm trustin Him in tis cos i knw it's no use striving hard for it when all u need is God to come thru.. i believe wat i value is wat God value too..

i talked to a fren abt it, told me i'm showing signs that i love and value her but i feel time will tell, no use me feeling it.. wat e sermon is said is true, actions cannot replace words and words cannot replace actions as well.. i can do so much but if i dun express wif words, it's nothing at all.. it's like e story of mary and martha..

Anyway, i juz gonna let go and let God but tat doesn't mean i will be passive, juz tat i will be there always.. tat's wat love is, be there always and not asking for any return..

will be planning some outing for SOT students so tat we can get together before all e foreign students leave s'pore..

i tink i need to start my cartoon drawing and photography again cos very "rusty" oredi, not being doin it for a while oredi.. might wan to look for some photography contest to gain experience so if u guys see any ads abt photography contest pls let me knw..

gonna end here.. share wif u guys more again.. have a great week ahead..

A real testing week for me..
Frens, tink tis few days have being e most difficult days i have went thru.. i knw many will say that we have had a great time wif Dr John Avanzini.. i had too but in e midst of it, i have to go thru something that i thought it won't happen to me..

Since that day, i have being asking myself alot of questions.. a lot of ppl oso talked to me but i really didn't mean it, why won't someone understand and knw that i went back e second time for that purpose.. it really affects me alot, in my studies, in my serving and my strength to go thru all tis.. it is not e physical strength i'm talkin abt but e mental stress and strength to go thru everything and come out strong and not tink abt it..

Last few days, i'm really askin myself if i wanna be out of all tis but i always tell myself i wanna be here cos i love God and i won't be affected by tis.. i kept on telling myself i can go thru and i won't be affected but how many or u knw that e mental part is so hard to bear.. i'm really tired, God.. how can i be happy when everyday i'm goin thru meetin after meetin and to serve or attend svc as if nothing happen.. God i really pray u allow me to go thru tis stronger.. My heart will trust in u..

Frens, i really feel tired and wear-out from all tis so really do encourage me if u can cos i dun wanna throw in e towel and quit cos i really love God so much to let go..

i knw i won't let go of God and leave even if everything had being removed from me cos nothing will separate Him from me..
Pls do pray for me, i knw i will go thru it..

Hi Frens,
Tis whole week is exam for all SOT student but thank God I tink I’m able to pass.. A real stretching week for us cos other than exam, we have to attend Dr John Avanzini nite conference so will feel quite tired at e end of e day but I thank God He gimme strength to go thru all tis..

Yesterday was a day i feel really sad abt and oso for e first time, feel such a heaviness in my heart.. dunno how to share wif u guys but along e way back home cos i didn’t manage to catch e church bus, i was tinkin abt it and can’t bring myself at ease cos it’s too sudden.. But i knw God knw me well.. thks for Zac’s encouragement, i went home to pray and tis morning prayed again and felt much better..

i knw it’s a private personal lesson for me to learn but i thank God i went thru it without any hardness of heart..

Thank you, Jesus..

Hi all, never really blog for a long time and tis is my second time i post something here for tis month. tink i'm really busy wif preparing for preaching test, work and ministry. wanna post but always get home too late so too tired to even surf net..

Thank God todae i dun have to work cos tis evening have IPPT, physical fitness test.. never really do any preparation, dun have time to run or even go to gym.. juz gonna go there and see how i fare.. tink would have to go again next time for a re-test..

juz share abt wat i did for e last few weeks, never really did much except for school, work and ministry.. my life has now being surrounded by all tis. My Cg juz got multiplied last weekend, it was great cos it's onli my second multiplication i experienced in my 5 years in CHC.. Pst Kong shared wif us a great msg last week abt e Jerusalem church, really convicted to bring my frens to know God..
During Cg testimony, i shared abt how God bring me thru my preachin test. My cgl asked me to share wif my cgm which sermon i prepared touched me e most. i said faith msg cos it's faith that brought me closer to Him and i have faith in Him that He will see me thru all things i am goin thru.. Without personal faith conviction, u can't preached a msg to convict ppl to have faith..

I really thank God for wat He had done in my life.. He is the same yesterday, today and forever so i believed He has greater things for me..

As SOT is comin to a close although there are still 3 more months, i tink wat i really received most from SOT is my faith in Him to bring me thru, there are times where i dun have much but i trust Him in His provision, times where i am weak but i lean on Him, times i dun knw wat to do but i received wisdom from Him..
Frens, all of us must always thank God and i will never fail to thank Him cos i knw without Him, i can never go tis far.. God dun need u to thank Him but He need to knw that u appreciate Him for all He had done..

It's really good to be able to sit down and relax and reflect on wat God has done..

Walking wif Him is really e greatest adventure i had put myself in. Never look back when i have placed my life into His hands..
Frens, i hope u will not look back too when u have read all tis cos losing earthly possession is nothing at all compared to losing someone that loves u so much, Jesus love us too much..

I Love u, Jesus..
