Thru my deepest valley and over my highest mountain
My God, my Lord, You are always there



Nothing is ever too small, or too big in Your sight
You shape all things with Your hands of love

Even as Your sheep strays away from Your flock
Your Staff and Rod guides me back to Your side



How can I ever thank You
My Savior, My Salvation
My Healer, My Comforter
My Lord, My God
My Jesus

SCDF

I'm going to NS soon.
Its next Tuesday (7th July).

Excited, yet apprehensive.
Felt ready for the challenge, yet uncertain of what lies ahead.

Going to Jalan Bahar Camp for Singapore Civil Defense Force.
Should I go for the Firefighter, paramedic or other vocations??


What Lies ahead? I don't know.
But one thing I know,

“ For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
“ For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."
-Is 55:8-9

Why God? Why??

Why are ppl with wrong theology being selected time and time again,
and those with a slightly 'sounded' Theology gets placed at the sidelines?

Why do a flaky person gets away with causing a disturbance in cell group meetings gets away with things but a intuition, impression and vision from someone with a good track record is being dismissed as flaky?

Why can't someone speak to members with a proven bible study record, proven growth and sound doctrine
but someone who has a knack of pulling members aside to 'talk' to them abt spiritual stuff even though what he is teaching is doubtful able to do that?

Why does a man with a good heart has to go through all these?
I think the same man is no longer ard. I think he has decided that
He is a stupid guy who takes a bloody long time to realised that in this world, there is no such thing as a 'WE' but its each for his own in this world.
I think he has just hardened his heart.
He will not drop another tear for someone.

New Songs

Recently I just felt new songs coming out from my spirit. Didn't really write them down. But it just feels beautiful. New songs, New Anointing.

Something that poh said last week shook me.
Every Revival Carries a New Sound.

City Harvest Church carries a different sound.
Bedok North carried a different sound.
What's your new sound?

Asia and Life Conference?

I was walking to the bus stop near my house when I saw this Banner outside Trinity Church near my place.
Uncanny familiarity? Almost everything is the same. The fonts of both Asia and Life. Guess we are making an impact. The only common letter is 'I'. Both ASIA and Life's 'I' is the same. Most prob, Trinity's church's Life is Bolded.

I Just want you.

I am feeling so frustrated and discouraged for the last few months, I felt that I was on the brink of giving up, throwing in the towel. This must be it, the pit, the valley that King David felt he was in. I think that I am of the verge and slipping in and out of depression. But I wanna thank God for ppl like Poh and Gabriel in my life. It was really no fun during this period of my life. Every single day felt like agony.

Pastor's right, God does not disappoint us, but people disappoints.

Like what Huijun and Amelia said, they both think that I'm a perfectionist. But thats nothing to be proud of man... Everytime I mess up, I feel so bad, so guilty and so very inperfect, even though its a small mistake and it just builts up and spirals into a bigger and bigger mistake. I just can't get over it. In a way, I disappoint myself all the time.

But I really wanna thank God for the Teo brothers.

I saw Gabriel on the 10th of May, Mother's day. Because he went to Amelia's cousin's birthday.
Man, just seeing Gabriel makes me feel so so so very loved and cared for. He's really a spiritual dad to me. When I saw Gabriel, I felt like running to him, hugging him and crying in his arms. Being with Gabriel makes me feel safe and that I can conquer the world. Not that I am basing my faith on him but its just different being in another zone. Its like being seperated from your dad. Man, I could even hear his voice, accent and tone in my head now. Haha! A simple "Guang Xiang, Jia You ar." from Gabriel is like a highlight of the day. Super encouraged!

And as for Poh, Meeting him 3 times this week just doesn't get any better! How to not get inspired, encouraged and convicted by him? Things that he shared on a personal basis and as a class really shook me. Every aspect of my life just seemed to be linked with him. My vision in life, my goal, my future business and ministry. Things that he shared about how does a cell group grow mightily? Being a blessing to the cell group. How to change the lives of your cell group members for the better, how to engage God in worship. And of course, guitar skills and theory. I am so inspired by him!

I Just Want You
Planet Shakers

More than a nice melody,
More than the sweetest of words
This is the love i have found,
And with this love i am found.

I just want you Jesus
I just want you my Lord,
I just want you Jesus,
I just want you.

Never could I comprehend,
The love you so freely give,
Never could i be worthy
But your love covers all of my sin.

There is no greater love than yours,
Nothing else could ever compare,
And even if i search all the world
I will never find a love like yours.

Spiritual Jargons

In the last 4 years in church. I have made my fair share of mistakes and victories with friends that joined us for service. And I have always found this to be the number 1 turn off to the friends. I have committed it too in the past and learned my lesson hard.

NEVER USE SPIRITUAL 'JARGON' ON THE FRIENDS WHEN WE COMMUNICATE WITH THEM

The friends will never understand what we are saying and not relate to them. Some examples would be:
"Hey John, have you responded to the Altar Call before?"
"Wow.. Thank God that there is so many Salvation cases today."
"Oh, we say grace so that God will Sanctify the food."
"Oh.. we fall under the anointing of God."
Reconciliation, holiness, offering..

The Bible says those who win souls is wise. We gotta be wise and relevant in communicating spirituality to the new friends because they will not have an idea of what are we talking about.

Scientists make simple things complicated.
Communicators make complicated things simple.

Keep it simple guys

These are the nations that the Lord left in the land to test those Israelites who had not experienced the wars of Canaan.

He did this to teach warfare to generations of Israelites who had no experience in battle.
These are the nations: the Philistines (those living under the five Philistine rulers), all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.

These people were left to test the Israelites—to see whether they would obey the commands the Lord had given to their ancestors through Moses.

-Judges 3:1-4

I was reading judges on the way home yesterday and these words caught my attention.
The Bible says God wants to teach the children of Israel how to do warfare. Yet in verse 4, it says that it is to TEST them if they will obey the commands of God.

No link right?

But yet, many battles that we will fight, the winning strategy is with God. If we would just obey. When God tested the Israel and teach them how to do warfare, He didn't put one puny nation against Israel. He placed 5 nations against one. Its really either listen and obey, or face extermination.

God does this all the time to Israel. During biblical times as well as modern days, but God saved the day all the time!
