Finished the 3rd week of SOT. It has been a fulfilling time. We finished the tabernacle series and also learnt alot of ministering power during the foundation truths 2. I was also in the SOT Chior. It was awesome to stand on the stage to be singing to the Lord. The feeling was totally different from singing at the floor. Now I understand why choir is so anointed ministry and it is the one who carry and brings down the presence of God. So this wk, I was almost everyday on the stage singing and I felt great. This wk was also jam packed with activity, as I have new tuition and new activity to catch up and complete. Next wk is more worst. Labour's day is filled with 4 activities lei. So Packed lor. I'm so excited as I will be gg for Mission Trips for experiences from God. Hope I can grow more in the Lord. This Yr SOT and 2008 is an experiential r/s with God.

This week have been a very challenging week for me. On Monday, I rmb after the class I need to rush down to teach my lesson at 230pm. It was really very bad when I reach there, as I reach at 245pm and I have to teach all the way till 430 to cover the make up time. Next on Tuesday, it was slightly better. But on Wednesday, I was late 5min, yet the management make a big hoo haa and say I reach at 430pm which is 15 min late. It was really unfair for me. I felt I was being pinpoint, however I move on. On Thursday, I was late 5min too and reach at 405pm and it seems that the atm of the work is getting tenser and tenser. I felt bad and like wat to quit. On Friday, It is better, I reach early and it seems oki. Sat back to work was a tiring moment as I have been rushing in and out of work and also attending SOT classes, CG, and svc. Today I also have a fully packed activities like tuition to cover all the make up lesson I've missed last few weeks. I really leaning on God and it is no longer me who lived. I felt so discouraged this wk but in the end God still turn it ard for me thru the word share by Dr Kim, a pastor from Korea, who is the co-founder of the world largest church, Yoido Full Gospel Church. She share abt the journey with God is full of ups and downs, but the end of it is really the reward God has prepare for u to grow. So really blessed by the Word and given me the strength to end the race. SO continue in prayer for the mighty move of God.

This week is really an emotional drive for me as I struggle not juz in work but also my personal life. I heard from one of my friends who told me that S1 said I was emotionless and ppl dun wan to be near me becuz of that. It was really sad to hear this comment. I have always been trying to make ppl happy ard me though I felt discourage at times. But this comment really hit me bad as I had sometimes struggle to get over it. Still rmb this wk one of the ministering session, I was being prayed for this situation and it really came to pass. Really I was discourage but I rmb the prayer that was prayed over me when that particular bro prayed for me for words of encouragement for men may hurts but it is after all we shld press for God's encourgement... So in the end, I decided to pick myself up and carried on the journey as what Dr Kim shared with us.

This wk have been sharing of testimony upon testimony!!! As I have mention to my SOT classmates that now my tuition lessons is no more juz normal class but also a time of sharing with my students abt my faith. Since water baptism, some of my classes have been asking me abt Christianity and what is it all abt. As I begin to share, I felt the grace of God thru me as I tell the class my experience and how I felt, even though my Christian walk with God is not totally smooth yet His presence is always there for me.

I share with my Sec 1 & 2 maths classes, it was a wonderful exchange of pointers. Den this sharing also not juz for the yet to be believers but also with my CG members when they heard my stories, they felt encourage too!!!

I think God is really looking into the hearts of those who is seeking Him, the more u seek, the more His presence is poured out into our lives. In the Bible, the words says in Mt 6:33 "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." This word is really living out of me. There is alot of times where I really dun feel the presence of God and on the verge of giving up. Understand that I have been Christian for 10 years, I still have my downturn at times. But the most miraculous thing is that everytime I felt that, God will always provide a solution and turn my life ard towards Him. It is like a shepherd leading those stray lamb back to the herd. God will nva leave u alone, when you are out of track, He will always lead you back to track. That is the most amazing thing. For me, it is undeniable to say that God is not there. U may feel He is not there is becuz u let the circumstances take control, but when you lift up urself to another level, I can guarantee u that the presence of God is always there, you juz need to seek it and you will find it. So nva lose hope but always have hope in God, for He nva fails, though we (human) fails lots of times.

I always feel that every Christian have their own life's story to tell, and their story will always be an impact to others and u nva know that it can be an influence. Have you ever had a problem that seemed so impossible you couldn't think about anything else? That's our human tendency, but God has a better plan. He wants us to glance at the problem, then quickly focus on His promises. That's what Abraham did when God told him that he and Sarah were to have a son. Romans 4:18 says that Abraham against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

This verse speaks of both the problem and the promise. It speaks of hope in the middle of a situation that looked hopeless. Even though Abraham was 100 years old and his wife was 90, Abraham had hope and faith that they would have a son as God promised.

There are two impossibilities here. First, it is humanly impossible for a man and a woman of Abraham and Sarah's ages to have a baby; second, it is impossible for God to lie (Titus 1:2). So against human hope, Abraham believed in divine hope...that God would bring about a miracle. He did not deny the problem existed-he just refused to focus on it. He glanced at the problem, then immediately focused on the promise God had made to him. And because Abraham had the faith to focus on the promise, God was able to perform the miracle.

Faith is rooted in the promises of God, and without a promise to stand on, it is literally impossible to have faith. So if you have a problem that seems hopeless, admit that your problem exists. Then immediately take your eyes off your problem and focus your faith on what God's Word says. You can believe it because the Bible says He cannot lie.

To conclude: Faith is really the substance that propel you to stand in God even though the circumstances, cuz in the end, the reward you receive after you overcome the trials and tribulations is so much better that what you go thru. Always share your testimony!!! In the midst of all the trouble and difficulties nva forget to pray, cuz prayer lifted u up and gives you the supernatural strengths. You can simply start with a small prayer, as you learnt to depend more on God, you will be able to pray longer. Tt is how simple to build your prayer life, cuz it is not instantaneously. Always start from small and it will end up Big.

Today is yet another great SOT lesson, so far it is the fourth day of sch and we had ministering almost everyday from tue till today. Tue n Wed was with Pst Derek, today was with Pst Ming. The ministering was awesome and alot of students really experienced a real move of God. From Holy laughter to crying to deliverance from bondage, struggles and more. Everyone had their personal encounter with God and experience a powerful move of God in their lives as they are being transform during this SOT period. Most of us went to struggle to get into SOT so it is not easy for some of us and it is really a testing of our faith and strengthening and equipping us for the kingdom of God. This few days of lessons and ministering really bring me to another level of knowing God more and desire for Him and yearning and yielding to Him.

This course was truly a point of references in my life as a living testimony. For those who knows me well, you all shld know the struggle I went b4 entering into SOT. Entering into SOT was a dream for me years back. I've been thru parental objection for everything related to Christianity, how I struggle thru and overcome it. I have made my commitment dated back to my secondary years to be on fire for God, now it is fulfilling. After Secondary, I wasn't able to fulfill n proceed to JC, the feeling kinda lost along the way as I was totally being stop from gg to church by my parent. But God is faithful, He kept me close to Him with the bible and holy spirit. Den I enter NS, when I promise God again that I wan to be commit back to Him. So becuz of this promise, God open ways for me and I went back to Church with no difficulties. Praise God for that!!! Den I started to be stronger. After NS, I started working. At first I enter into the wrong job and it rob away my time for God... I become very sad as my desire is really for Him, so after much struggles, I stood up and quit that job and put my trust in God and change job. It was a tough decision and this happen last yr where I job hop a few times before decided to go into teaching line which I always good at. So God does His miracles in my life so much that I can't denies His presence in my life.

Still rmb how I decided to sign for SOT this yr. Actually I've promise God to sign up for SOT this yr no matter wat had happen during last yr after my transition from job hopping. So this yr one of the svc where Pst Tan start to challenges us to go for SOT. I was like praying to God maybe next yr den I go as I now working full time in a tuition center and wun have time for it. But God instantly reply tt I shld go "NOW". Den I was dishearten as I finally get myself stable in a job, but God reminded me of the promise I made to Him, tt gives me the conviction to trust in Him and sign for SOT. God remind me tt if I were to not go this yr, it will be harder next yr and the yrs to come as there is always no convenience time. So I really step out by faith and trust in Him. So I went thru the struggle in breaking the news to my boss and God's favour really poured over my life and my boss gives the green light. SO I was truly grateful in God's word and obedience to His word. Den I was even challenges to ask one of the CG members to go to and she also went thru the same struggle as me, but she emerges victoriously. So I really thanks God for the open doorways in our lives. It is really when u rely on His strength, He can make all things possible. Glorifies God for tt!!!

So at the end of this course, I really want to see myself rising to a position that will make a differences and impact in my life and also the people ard me and be a great blessings. I wish I can also learned as much as I can during this five months course and wish my spiritual fruits can be birth forth and mature and be renewed and transform at the end of the days able to stand for my faith and also to share it ard with others. SOT, here I am, really for the mighty move of God and a strong anointing to be poured into my life and the people who avails themselves for SOT.

Jia you all SOT students for this yr 08, May God bless and anoint you for His kingdom purpose.

Believing God is essential if you are to receive His best. Hebrews 11:6 says, Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Believing and standing in faith pleases God and puts you in a position to get your prayers answered.

Matthew 14 tells how Peter walked on the water at Jesus' command. As long as he kept his eyes on Jesus, he was fine, but when he looked down he began to sink. When he cried out to Jesus to save him, Jesus reached out and caught him, saying, O thou of little faith (v. 31). The important thing to note is that although Peter's faith was small, Jesus honored his act of faith.

Just as the dollar bill is the medium of exchange for goods and services in a capitalistic society, so faith is the medium of exchange in spiritual matters. Simply put: Pray and believe, and you can receive. Pray and doubt, and you can do without. So even when you feel that your faith is weak, stand strong by choosing to pray, believe, and receive!

Give Your Best to God

All of my life I've heard my father tell this story about my granddad who was a preacher in Oklahoma in the early 1900's. Sometimes the church members didn't have money for the offering, so they would give an offering of food. One day a chicken rancher brought my grandfather a live chicken as an offering. When he left, my grandparents noticed that the chicken had only one eye. A little while later the rancher came back and said, "As I drove away, God spoke to my heart and said I shouldn't have given Him my worst chicken. I should give God my best." He took back the one-eyed chicken and gave my grandfather his best chicken instead.

We see the same principle illustrated in the Bible when King David sinned by disobeying God and conducting a census. To stop the plague that God sent as punishment, he was told to buy the threshing floor of Ornan to build an altar unto God. Ornan said, Take it to yourself...I give it all. But David replied, No, but I will surely buy it for the full price, for I will not take what is yours for the Lord, nor offer burnt offerings with that which costs me nothing (I Chronicles 21:23-24 NKJV). David wouldn't borrow or take a handout to give God his tithe and offering. He was saying, "No, it's got to come from me." It had to cost him something.

We can ask ourselves, are we giving God our "one-eyed chickens"-our leftovers? What He wants is that which represents our best. And in return, He can give back to us His best!

I believe God places His dreams in our hearts, and He wants to help us fulfill them. Do you have a dream in your heart that has almost died because something happened that devastated you? No matter what has happened in your past, don’t lose hope. God can give you faith to try again!

Maybe you feel that you’ve failed. I know how that feels because I have experienced failure. But God specializes in mending broken dreams, healing wounded hearts, and making something beautiful out of our lives. Maybe you have a history of making bad decisions and you think God could never forgive you. I believe with all of my heart--and I speak with the confidence of knowing God’s Word--that there is nothing you could have done that God cannot and will not forgive. You simply have to ask Him. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins (I John 1:9).

However, God cannot forgive you if you don’t ask Him. God has done His part by making forgiveness available to you through Jesus Christ. Now you have to do your part and reach out to receive that forgiveness. You may want to pour your heart out to Him or simply pray a few words from your heart. I know one young man who, after years of pain, came with tears streaming down his face. He just said, “Jesus . . . okay!” With those two words, his life was miraculously transformed as Jesus came into his heart. Now he is preaching the Gospel and winning souls to the Lord.

That doesn’t mean that God is going to call you into the ministry when you turn your life over to Him. But it does mean that He has something for you to do that is just right for you. God wants to give you the desires of your heart and help you fulfill your dreams. Put your trust in Him today.
