12:10 AMA funny and stupid thing happened to me today. Weijin and me were walking around AMK library trying to find seats to study. We walked and walked until i chanced upon one girl who was studying alone. Her back was facing me. From her back, i thought it was my classmate. I was further confirmed by her phone and spectacles. So with much confidence it was her, i suddenly jump infront of her and to my amazement, it wasn't my classmate. It was some unknown stranger. OMG. I was so ashamed of myself that i quickly walked away. To add oil to fire, while i was on my way to the toilet, she so happened to walk out of the toilet. Totally ashamed of myself, i decided to look down and pretend i didn't know anything. =/. I won't do such a stupid thing again. hahahaha.
After studying was NEB unit meeting at Rick's house. We had worship and intercession. God spoke to his people in a huge manner. Encouraged, empowered coupled with much passion and desire, we want to complete the schools assigned to us within a short span of time.
Acts 5:38-39. " If it's of human origin, it will surely fail. If it's from God, .... you will only find yourself going against God." Wow. Proverbs 30:7-9. " 2 things i ask of you, Lord... Keep falsehood and lies far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches but give me only daily bread. Otherwise i may have too much and disown you and say Who is the Lord? " Man.. Such a powerful verse. Talking about desperateness to seek God and desire for him, i guess this verse encapsulate the whole idea of seeking God earnestly and putting everything aside.
i was talking to Marcus on msn when this random thought of asking God to take away my studies so that i won't disown you. HAHAHAH. Yeah, it's bull crap. I guess i will really need to depend on God despite all the obstacles especially the area of my studies. Although i can confidently know that my group will function well even though i ain't there, i just hope that i can be more with my people and complete the rest of the schools for Him. Well, i guess that's when Isaiah 55: 8-9 comes in. =D
On a lighter note, i went Prata house with my dudes and we had a fun time eating prata and making of people's crushes. woohoo. HAHAHHAHAA.
Picture of Enting and Me and nigel in the background:
Sunday, June 15, 2008 1:16 AMDivine ExchangED. The 2 letters, ED, signified that God has already exchanged with me and my group
It was all of a sudden, when marcus me and donavan decided to go Just Acia for our dinner after some walking around in town. We started joking and talking crap when we all became quiet all of a sudden. We started doing our own things and after awhile, we started looking up. The same expression and burden began to take control of all of us. God planted and watered the seed of burden into our hearts.
We then started to realize how little time we have for CG08, how important is for all of us to do a part in completing this vision for God. We started to realize the CG08 is not just a mere vision or a future that's good to hit, but it's a goal to reach for jesus, involving the life transformation of many. People turning from sinful nature to Godly people doing God's will.
We started sharing amongst ourselves but we can't take it, we asked our guys who is around our table to come as we shared to them. After sharing, we started to call the rest of the coreteam members to meet at Potong Pasir MRT so we can share to them the spirit that God planted in our hearts.
Scott came to meet us at dhoby ghaut and we shared to him our conviction to him at dhoby ghaut MRT. We're holding our bibles and sharing to him in the middle but we don't care, we just want our guys to get the vision and spirit. While traveling to Potong Pasir MRT, it was around 10plus going to 11pm but that did not stop us from sharing to our people, neither does it stop the dudes from rushing down to potong pasir MRT.
In the train, Marcus and Donavan and Cheehwee shared christ in the train. It was really a stepping up of faith and they did really well. When we reached Potong Pasir MRT, Donavan, marcus and me started to share our convictions that God planted in our hearts earlier. Gabriel, Shipeng, Chester , Nigel and Daryl were there. We used simple verses from the bible and simple words. Yet these words became a double edged swords and impacted the dudes that came to hear. People started tearing and going into deep thoughts and reflections. TOTALLY different from we experienced during camp, this time, it was the working of the holy spirit.
We simple share about the vision of NEB. Seeing 50 people in SA, 25 in Montfort and 25 in St GAB. This big vision will mean that all the dudes in NEB now to become Careleaders in the future. Many to take up leadership roles. Hebrews 11 :1-2, it was when the ancients were commended because of their faith and being certain of what they do not see. Man, i believe the coreteam members who heard the conviction today caught the spirit and seriousness of winning their schools for Jesus. We don't wanna just hear the lessons during camp and later become a deaf ear towards it. Because Proverbs 28:9 tells us clearly that our Prayers will be detestable if we're deaf ears towards the law. Wow.
During camp, many may be emotionally high. But what happened just now, was the working the God's word into people's lives. Lives are gonna change. Lives are gonna be impacted. Lives are going to live on the edge for Jesus. NEB will be the one that start off the spark. NEB's passion and zeal will definitely grow and influence many to go on board and embark seriously for CG08.
God i know, divine exchange has happened. It's now Divine exchangED. Thank you God. We're believing in you for so much more.
Saturday, June 14, 2008 12:03 AMwoo, Oasis camp was great. So much rhema words from God. Amazing. I really pray that NEB will change and become a God honoring group that's on fire to outreach and complete CG08 together. Big God, Big Vision. =D .
Block test is just a week away. Haven't studied much. Sometimes i really be involved so much more in some of my dude's lives and being there for them. However, my studies are always the one that pull and drag me away. Can't wait for my As to be over. Really ain't easy balancing church ministry, social life, and studies. I make a mark that every week before service i will be studying at Centre Point Macs so as to maximize my time. Sundays are purely for studying. At least 3 of 5 weekdays must be studying days. A lvls is just a few months away. =/
Other than studies, swimming training are taking a toll on me. Coach says must turn up for training 4 times per week since swimming nationals are just 2 weeks away. Personally, i kinda enjoyed it since it's my favorite sport, but the fact is that it is kinda time consuming and it drains you physically every time after a swim. O well, it's just for another 2 more weeks. =D
CG 08. woohoo. Exciting.
