It have been a week since I last updates about myself on Blog. So many things happen this wk. It is sad and yet in the end God turn my life ard with a great blessing in the end. After a great Easter Celebration with my frens and CG members. I was awaiting for my calling to go for water baptism on 30 Mar. I was getting ready buying new clothes and pants for these occasion and also celebrate my Father's Birthday which happen to be on Easter Sunday. All was gg on well, nth to expect a bad thing befall my family. On Mon, when I was back at work, all was great with the blessing of God overwhelm me, the days continue well till Tuesday.

A tragedy happen, My grandpa passed away on Tuesday night when I reached home from work. It was saddening but I was at that point emotionless. No idea wat to do next. The first thing next was to quickly inform my ESSS & Tuition Center abt the situation tt I can't go to work. But to my next surprise was that the tuition center can't approve my leave totally as there is shortage of teachers, so in the end I still need to go to work, it is a source of relaxing myself in these tense situation. So the funeral preparation go on from Tuesday night all the way to Saturday where the cremation took place. I have been trying to hide my tears for the first few days but on the last days I juz cry buckets of water. The funeral was all well till we were back at my grandpa's house where my father kinda quarrel with my uncle over some money matter, so it made an awkward situation after tt.

Well, it is time to move on as usual. So I had a good rest on Saturday night. Was struggling whether to go for Water Baptism after the funeral was a tough decision to make. But in the end, as my desire for God is so strong, I decided to go for it amidst all the depression. So Ytd I went for my water baptism. It was a great experience. I was so hype up and excited that I was like a child receive a prize for no apparent reason, the joy of the Lord is really my strength at that point of time. I still remember when I step into the pool, I was like can't wait for the pastor's hand to be laid on me. When the Pst said: "Jonathan Teo, I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!" and then immerse me into the water, I really feel the peace of God overwhelm me. It was a wonderful experience once in a lifetime. I really encourage those who wan it shld go for it asap as it is an experience u wun wan to miss. After the baptism, I went for svc. I really feel the difference in me as I was like the very first time I was back in church, jumping and praising God with supernatural strength, singing out loud and really enjoying the presence of God. I will say that God's calling in my life was really fulfilled with my obedience in His word. Praise God & Amen!!!

As Christians, each one of us has a unique calling from God on our lives. Yours is different from mine, and mine is different from yours. Your calling is the one God has for you, and it's what you're supposed to do in life. His plan may be different from what you expect, but you can be assured it is something good. In Jeremiah 29:11 NIV the Lord declares, "I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Before I married Oral, I wanted to be a missionary. But God never would call me! You see, He had a different plan in mind for me. When Oral proposed to me, I knew that God had planned and ordained for me to marry him.

The important thing is for us to be pliable in God's hands. After I married Oral, I said to the Lord, "You know that I've always wanted to be a missionary. You never called me, and I guess You won't call me now. So I'll just have to be content to be a minister's wife."

Of course, I didn't know then all that God intended to accomplish through Oral and me-that we were going to go into all the world and preach the Gospel everywhere we went. I didn't know that we would raise up Oral Roberts University with its thousands of young students who would take God's message beyond us to the world.

I'm so glad I decided to submit to the plan God had for me. Although it was different from my own, I learned that you can be happy and satisfied wherever God plants you because you're in the center of His will.

There's an amazing story in the Bible that shows God can supply our natural needs in supernatural ways. In I Kings 17 NIV, the prophet Elijah meets a widow who has almost run out of food. He asks her for some bread to eat. "As surely as the Lord your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread-only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it-and die" (v. 12).

When Elijah asked the widow for the first portion of her food, he was really asking for the tithe-the first tenth. The word "tithe" actually translates as increase. That doesn't make sense in the natural, does it? How can you give away 10 percent of your income and call it increase? That's just how it works. When the tenth is given to God, He supernaturally increases it.

The widow believed the word of the Lord, and she gave the first portion of her last meal to His prophet. Because of her obedience, her family lived in God's supernatural supply for nearly a thousand more meals!

Like the widow, when we step out in faith and obey God's Word, He proves how He can supply our natural needs...often in supernatural ways. Consider Malachi 3:10, which says:Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse...and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

I believe God is an "if-then" God. If we do our part, then God does His part. When Jesus died on the Cross to save us, He said, It is finished (John 19:30). There was nothing else that needed to be done-on His part. However, God doesn't just stretch out His hand and say, "Poof! Now you're saved." Salvation comes by faith. If we repent of our sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, then we receive His salvation.

Also, in II Chronicles 7:14 God says, If my people...shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Clearly, we have a part to play in whether or not we receive the blessings of God.

"Is this some magic formula?" you ask. "If I do this, then I can make God do that?" No. I'm talking about God's Word. According to Jeremiah 1:12 NASB, God watches over His Word to perform it. When we do what the Bible says, God is reminded of His promise to watch over His Word and perform it in our lives.

When I pray, I love to remind God of what He said in His Word. I may say, "God, do You remember that You said if I'd bring my tithes into the storehouse, You would open the windows of heaven and pour me out a blessing so great there would not be room enough to receive it?" I can just imagine God smiling and saying, "Yes, I remember. And I keep My promises." We often find our windows of blessing shut because we don't do what the Bible says. But God says if we obey His commands and believe His promises, then He will fulfill His Word.

The covenant right to complete deliverance: I thirst (John 19:28). The excruciating pain Christ suffered defies our imagination. He suffered so that we might be made whole: He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Each one of us knows suffering; each one of us needs healing in some area of our lives. Because Jesus bore our sufferings on the Cross, there is now covenant healing for our whole person.

The covenant right to victory, even in the face of death: It is finished (John 19:30). When Jesus Christ was lifted up on the Cross, suspended between earth and heaven, He reached up with the right hand of His divine nature and took hold of an offended God. With the left hand of His humanity He reached down and took hold of offending sinners, and with the last strength He had, He pulled God down and man up and reconciled them. Then He said, It is finished. There is victory in the Cross, and our reconciliation with God is the beginning of that victory.

The covenant right of everlasting life with God: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit (Luke 23:46). There is immortality in the Cross. There's life for us in the Cross...in this world and beyond. Through Christ's death on the Cross, we can have eternal life.

When you repent...believe...and call upon Jesus to be your Savior, all the new covenant rights are yours!

Finally the March holiday is over, school has started and I'm back in ESSS again. Wondering wat had happen over the holiday. Reflecting back at it, my parent went for an overseas trip to China, the whole house only left the three oldest siblings which is myself and my two eldest youngest sister. When parents are away, we are literally exploring all possibilities of rebellion but yet most of us turned out to be super guai and go home daily except for a few occasion where me and my second sister din go home and stay over our frens' house. But this holiday wasn't much a holiday for me as I was still busy working at the tuition centre as lesson is still as per normal. It is quite tiring to see everyone relaxing while I still working but at least I have a moment of rest from nagging and breeze thru the holiday with work and play. I notice I went to gym more during this wk as more free time to gym. I also went for a jazz class and my usual step classes. It is really interesting in attending the classes. The jazz teacher commented that I was quite a fast learner as I was new to those dance steps. I was so thrilled. I also mange to gain enough rest during these holiday as I can slp all the way to 12pm b4 waking up for work.

Lets talk abt wat my parents bought during their trips when they were back on sat night. To my surprise, they bought a lot of branded sports wear at super cheap prices and I have my fair share of some of the collections. My mum also get me a Nike formal shirt and 2 belts. The following picture is wat I got.

Praise Report: Rmb a few wks back, I was asking for your prayer for me to go for SOT!!! It is finally prayer answer as my tuition centre boss gave the "ok" permission for me to go for the course without any pay cut. Really thank God for tt!!! Amen & Amen!!!


Now I can't wait for SOT to start at Apr 7, water baptism on Mar 30 and also this coming Friday Easter celebration. Hoping for a mighty move of God. This coming Easter our church have a total of 12 English svc with 8 other services.

If you don't treasure Christ, you won't be compelled to encourage others to treasure him. Where zeal for Christ is lacking, passion for missions will be lukewarm. Not only is worship the goal of missions, but it is also the fuel of missions. Worship begets missions, and missions begets worship.

Jesus instructs us to spread his name to all peoples (Matthew 28:16-20), but we'll do so only once we come to the same point as the Apostle Paul, who exclaims, "I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ" (Philippians 3:8).

When, like Paul, we treasure Christ above all else, then we will be passionate about missions. But once Christ returns, evangelism will no longer be necessary because he will bring to himself and be worshiped by all those who have been made righteous in Christ. In the meantime, evangelism exists because there are still people called by Christ who are not worshipers of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

From a practical standpoint, wisdom is to do now what you will be satisfied with later.
This means that if you know doing something will be very beneficial later, then you do it now even if you don't want to. The opposite is also true: a person who lacks wisdom will base his or her actions on what feels good right now instead of looking at the long-term picture.
For example, say you want to eat a snack, but you aren't hungry. You might say to yourself, "Well I know I shouldn't eat this, but ... ." And then you decide to keep eating even though you are full. Your actions followed your feelings instead of wisdom, and it's a decision that may lead to results you're not happy with later.
Clearly, wisdom requires using self-control to choose to do what is better. A wise person looks at the end results instead of focusing only on his or her immediate circumstances. In short, wisdom is to do now what you will be satisfied with later.

Don't just trust God for things; trust Him in things.
Too often, we fall into the trap of trusting God to give us more things—a new car, a bigger house, a better computer. We turn God into little more than a supernatural Santa Claus, who gives us what we want.
Although God does want his people to prosper and be blessed, it is much more important to him that you entrust him with your life.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Trusting God is simply having faith in him—that he is who he says he is. In tough circumstances, trusting God means believing his promises, that he will work all things out for good. Trusting God does not mean trusting that he'll send Santa to give you what you want.
Especially during difficult times, putting your faith and trust in God brings rewards. Isaiah 26:3 says, You [God] will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Perfect peace is available if you're willing to trust God in the midst of challenging times.

Therefore, make it your aim to live with eternal purpose and invest in eternal things; to spend all you have on what lasts forever.

真的準喔 !!
首先!確認一下你是左腦還是右腦使用者吧（從以下兩個題目來判斷）

1. 像祈禱一般, 將雙手交握起來 ...就是這個模門!!! 看看你的雙手!!!
左手拇指被押在右手拇指下的---------------------->左腦使用者
右手拇指被押在左手拇指下的 ---------------------->右腦使用者

2. 將你的雙手交叉環在胸前 (請揣摩一下" 我生氣了喔=) 的感覺，
就是這個模門!!!在看看你的雙手!!!
右手臂壓住左手臂的------------------------------>左腦使用者
左手臂壓住右手臂的 ------------------------------>右腦使用者

從1+2來看你的結果*( 要照1→ 2順序看唷~)


右左人
--------------------------
善於體貼他人的傳統溫婉類型
能直覺了解對方的心情 , 並自然和善對應的右左人。雖然無法主動積極的向前 ,
但卻會後退一步來支持他人, 生性穩重且貼心 , 給人一股〔凡事都會好好照顧＊〕的安心感。
不過一旦被拜託過一次 ,往後就很難再對他人說〔 NO〕就是最大的缺點。不管自己有多
麼的痛苦也會為他人鞠躬盡瘁.... 這種熱情堪稱天下第一！

右右人
-------------------------
最愛自己的挑戰類型
生性勇往直前, 一旦認定〔就是這個！〕時就會馬上採取行動！
這就是好奇心旺盛最愛挑戰的右右人。
憑著一股氣勢就能夠坦然挑戰危險事物的魯莽一族。
但另一方面亦具有被抓住弱點時就很容易被打動的鮮細脆弱一面... 。
基本上 ,不聽他人的話, 會跳著聽談話的內容,
也很容易就以主觀意識說話。
不過也因這般充滿個性的緣故而備受眾人喜愛 ,往往能成為人氣者唷！

左左人
-------------------------
認真又冷酷的完美主義者
雖頗有女人 (男人) 味, 但卻是在這四種類型中最具有男子氣概！
凡事都能條理分明的理論性思考 , 會憑著一篇大道理迅速打敗他,
可說相當具有〔鋼鐵之女〕的感覺。
自尊心極高, 正義感也比他人多上一倍。
做為朋友是很值得信賴 ,但若與之為敵就會很棘手的類型。
只不過, 因生性認真又是完美主義者 , 常會讓初次見面的人留下
〔難以相處〕的不好印象。

左右人
-------------------------
喜歡照顧人,領導型
具有冷靜的觀察力能看透對方或現場的氣氛 ,
但亦具有能體貼入微照顧對方的一面,
這就是兼具冷靜與溫情的左右人。
因生性冷靜, 頗具男子氣概且責任感強烈,
像個〔大姐頭〕般常會受到同性的愛慕。
能自然聚集人群並與之俐落相處。
只不過, 有時也會忍不住太愛照顧他人。
相當在意世人如何看待自己, 總是保持警覺心。

After much consideration and decision, I have decided to sign up for SOT 08. It has always be my dream and passion to enrol into SOT and now I am here to take up the course and challenge. It will be a 5mth course starting from Apr 7 to Aug 28. In doing so, I was also hoping for a open favour from my tuition center to allow me to go for the course and yet at the same time still able to work there. So I need all necessary prayer and support from my CG and also frens to pray for me for the things that is to come... I really wish to be able to rise up for these special occasion and for a mighty move of God in my life this year...
