So many things had happened, but I am grateful that God's love is truly amazing which brings great restoration in my life during the First Svc at Suntec Convention Hall. Over the past few months was a turmoil and filled with bitterness. I start to hate myself and blame others for my hurt and rejection, I become a bitter gourd and sour grape. I even do things that ruin my 2 yr r/s. Sad I may be, angry I may feel, but that was a result when you fall out of love and let bitterness set in. I was reminded in the svc on sat where Pastor shared about "Love". At that moment, I was pondering and even doubting the notion, I was close up though I know God is all about love and building meaningful r/s.

Sharing of verses!!!
The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 15:33 (Amplified Bible) Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
This verse speaks of the Godly Fear of the Lord that allows victory and blessing of God to be upon ur life, which surpasses any thing on Earth which u can accquires in ur life...
Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? ... I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35,38-39 (Amplified Bible)
Wat can separates u from the Lord is often things that have taken over ur life that make God not first in ur life but secondary or third or even further den ur very own heart... But u must understand one thing is that the Lord yearns to be near u, r u near to God den? So make a decision of choice and decide where u wan to be with the Lord!!!
I will give thanks to You, O Lord; for though You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and song; yes, He has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:1-2 (Amplified Bible)
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (Amplified Bible)
Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy [that is, readiness to help those in trouble] and not sacrifice and sacrificial victims. For I came not to call and invite [to repentance] the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), but sinners (the erring ones and all those not free from sin). Matthew 9:13 (Amplified Bible)
Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. Isaiah 41:10 (Amplified Bible)
And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning], Therefore, behold! I will again do marvelous things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will vanish or be hidden. Isaiah 29:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
This five verses shares on God's mercy towards mankind and how we can depend on Him and gain strength to face the evil of this world and be an overcomer in our realm of influence!!! Whenever we feel lousy and bad abt ourselves, how we can seek God and receives acceptance and grace and power to continue on and keep keeping on with our lives. Having the Word of God in ur life thru meditation on God's word can propel u into the next level of ur faith in God. As God promise that when u draw near to Him, He will definitely draw near to u, and in all circumstances it is the Lord who Fight for U!!!
And the end of ur situation is always God has the victory and control over ur life!!!
I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live. Deuteronomy 30:19 (Amplified Bible)

What is the secret to success? How does God work?
Exo17:8-16 Labels: Sermon
Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner; for he said, “Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
Rod of God / Man of God who saved the people?
God works thru man not methods, ppl not systems. Wisely methods to use but God wants us to be used for the Kingdom of God. It was the man who is holding the rod.
Where is Jesus Address? He should be reside in your heart.
Faith explode from within your heart, miracles will start to happen.
Anointing flow through honor and relationship with the man of God.
Reason why God use man? Because he has a servant heart. Jesus is the servant of all as He humble Himself. When you serve, you will experience blessings of hope, joy, love. Being secure of self to be a servant.
4 Things we need to be secure in:
1.Self - Image : How you see yourself
You can have a safe heart but not have the mind of God. A revelation of who God is and it imprint the nature of God within us. Gen 1:28
Having Jesus Blood & DNA as we are now a new creation in Christ. When you pray, the Holy Spirit gives you vision.
2.Self - Worth : How you value yourself
Your worth is more than silver and gold. You are more valuable in God's eyes. You are worth His Son's death on the cross for our sins.
Rom3:21-22
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
3.Self - Esteem : How you feel about yourself
Faith is a feeling you have. You got to have feeling and encounter with God. Feeling and encountering Godis what your Christian life is depended on.
Pro 23:7
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
1 John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Faith works by love, accepted by God.
4.Self - Respect : How I honor my dignity
Apart from God, we are nth. we are seated in the heavenly, children of the King of kings, Lord of lords. I am a royalty. You are King's Kid -> Prince & Princess of the Most High God. Servanthood is not being servile but be cool and classy.

A Mother's Prayer Cover
Oral Roberts Labels: Enjection, Personal Sharing, Sermon
As a teenager, I told my parents I was leaving home and going out on my own. Some young men might be ready to leave home at that age, but I was leaving with the spirit and attitude of a runaway. By leaving, I was declaring my intention to run my life according to my own desires instead of God's or my parents'.
Mama put her arms around me and kissed me. She wet my face with her tears. She said, "Oral, I'm putting a covering of prayer over you. Every night I'll be praying. You'll never get away from my prayers."
For five months Mama walked the floor of our little house and called out my name to the Lord. "God, bring him home at any cost," she prayed. The night I collapsed during a basketball tournament and fell unconscious, hemorrhaging from the mouth, my coach brought me home and laid me on my parents' bed. She looked at me and said, "Oral, I didn't know the price would be so great."
Even when the doctors told Mama that I had tuberculosis...even as I wasted away, coughing and bleeding. . . she kept a prayer cover over my life. She literally refused to quit praying. She prayed over me every day until I was saved...and then until I was healed...and then until I had fully recovered...and until I began to preach...and for my life and ministry until the day she died!
Mama believed in the power of prayer as much as the psalmist who wrote, I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer (Psalm 17:6 NIV). Are you holding on in prayer for a loved one? Keep raising that prayer cover every day-miracles come through holding-on prayers!
What was shared above really showed how much a mother's love for a child and the power in the prayer a parent can give to a child that bring forth blessings and anointing that changes a person's destiny. Today I also had another sermon shared during Mother's day svc at City Harvest Church by Rev Kong Hee! He shared on one of the Old Testament Mother called Hannah in 1 Sam chapter 1. It is about a godly centered mother who dedicated to God, where she will spend time in the house of God in prayer. She is also dedicated to her husand even though he have multiple wives, she continue to stay faithful and pray with him, as the more the couple pray together, the more they will stay together. Lastly she also dedicated herself to her children. She spend most of her times with young prophet Samuel and Samuel eventually grow up to be a mighty man of God. So today is Mother's day, I really encourage all mothers to be able to be like the above mention mother that really make a differences in their child's lives and also their spiritual walk with God and their husband will continue to grow stronger in deeper love. Hope my mum will be me in Church Svc soon!!! I will be praying for it. By next yr I wan by faith that my wole household will be change...

Last Sermon Of The Year
CHANGE IS NECESSARY FOR GROWTH Labels: Sermon
REV TAN YE-PENG
This new year we must make a decision to reflect ourselves and see what are the changes we need to make to better improve ourselves for this coming new year. Be it Christian or not, let us be open to change as this sermon can changes ur destiny in life.
[Mt 18:1-4] UNLESS
We got to be willing to make changes and adjustment in life.
Repentance => in essence mean change, to change your life, cause of direction. It is not juz abt sin or condemnation. Re-, means to go back to sth. -Pent mean the highest places you can go. Repent means to go back to the highest way of thinkings, also mean to go back to the original source of God's thought, getting your thinking in line with God. Change in the mind and thinking and laid hold of wat God has in store for you.
Without change you cannot change your destiny. You cannot enjoy the promises of heaven when you do not change. Only changes will bring abt peace, joy, hope. You got to change as changes is necessary for progress. More thing will change as you progress and grow. Changes is constant and continual. The moment you stop changing, you stagnant in life and die off. Every thing in life requires changes.
Without changes there is no growth. Progression is only possible with changes, that is why company have to restructure, education system have to change to the modern world and etc. Change's greatest enemies is tradition. When you become tradition and stick to tradition, you are refusing to change. As born again, tongue-speaking believers, we got to know how to change. If we refuse to change we will be left behind, and called lack of innovation. Transformation is vital, inevitable. You got to be discipline to change, appreciating every opportunity to change, seizing the moment.
3 steps to changes
1. Decision – all changes begins with a decision. Ppl wun change when they have not decide to change. When you n=made a decision to change, tt situation of urs is no longer an option.
2. Dedication – it requires commitment. With commitment comes responsibility, and responsibility comes accountability.
3. Discipline – stay focus and courages & filled with faith.
5 reasons for resistant to change
1. Pride – I'm alright, I dun need to change. Understand that changes is not a one time event.
2. Fear – I'm afraid to change, what if. You are not able to launch out into the deep to take action but be paralyse by your limitation.
3. Rebellion – I dun care, I juz want it tt way. Stubbornness, stiff neck, in denial to change your situation.
4. Laziness – I'm oki with wat I have now. To be in juz enough or in lack, not willing to go the extra mile.
5. Ignorance – I din know I need to change. Fools din change and the death can't change. When change is necessary, not to change is destruction.
Dun change only when u hit a crisis, but changes as n when it is inevitable. Be wise when you change. Change is inevitable, either you lead the change or change will lead you.
My ability to lead the change will determine my success.

4th Dimension and Releasing the Promises in you.
In Christ, we can experience the 4th Dimension which is the spiritual realm. N the 4th dimension is the one who governs all the 3rd dimensions. Labels: Sermon
Rom 10:10 => SPIRIT, HEART
4 things abt the 4th dimension living.
1. Thinking [Pro 23:7] (Faith & Fear nva co-exist)
Think beyond the box -> to experience God when your thoughts are in line with God. Putting e mind of Christ. Christianity and Success can go hand in hand. Thru out the Bible, all those who are in line with God are prosperous. God's plan is to prosper you so that you can be a blessing to others.
Deut 8:18, Luke 9:12-13, Jn 6:7-8, Mark 10:18-22, 27-30, Pro 10:22.
2. Believing
To believe, be believer. Make a decision / choice to live by faith. Make a commitment to prayer as passionate prayer will break thru block of ice [Mt7:7].
3. Dreaming / Visualizing
It is abt dreaming the dream and visualize wat u can get [Gen13:14-15, 15-1-5]. Faith will arise when you are able to move into the supernatural realm of God in dreaming the dreams and visions of your life.
4. Speaking / Confessing [Heb 11:3]
Confessing the promise of God's word over your life. Understand that Jesus came to become Flesh so that thru Him we are able to go back to God, and power is release thru Him. [Mk11:23]
POWER OF IMAGINATION, BELIEVE, CONFESSING!!!
[Pro 13:12]
It is one things to get promises from God but another things to see the promises release in your life.
[Gen 12:1-3 ]
Prosperity is the most common miracles found in the Bible as it give more opportunity for God to work in your life. Dun think that it is rare as it is the Devil's deceit.
[Gen 13:1,6 ]
It does not take a lot of faith for great prosperity. When you sow, you shall reap,seedtime and harvest will come to pass, guarantee of law of nature.. Prosperity come by simple obedience to God's word.
Power in the seed & faith in the word are impt principle. Believing in God's word with obedience, work hard and keep in order.
Different power in different promises. Patience in God;s word = promises being let loose.
3 Simple Things to Break the Hindrances in your life.
[Gen 15:1-3,12]
If you can't see & visualize wat God has for you, great promises that yet come to pass, the devil wil do wateva he can to stop you visualize it. If you can't see it, you can't have it.
[Ps 91:4] God's Promise is truth, Your protection in God.
[Acts 9:39] In the absence of fear, there is great faith.
[Gen 15:4-6] You got to rise up against the terror by night. Switch on the Lights and Pray, switch on the Praise & Worship, be strong b4 you slp.
[1 Sam 17:54] having sth as a wall of defence against the night terror, having the armour in your tent. Know that no weapons formed against you shall prosper, for God is with you. Keep your faith strong.
[Gen 20:17] Pray for the ppl what you loose on Earth will be loose in Heaven. Pray for others to prospers so that you can prosper. There is always somebody you can blessed. Being a prosperor, a person whom we can prosper.
[Eph 6:8] Wateva you do to others, God will do so to you.
[Gen 22:1-2,5] God can made anyth impossible possible. Know God's character, God will continue to do it again.
1. You need to guard yourselves against the night terror.
2. You need to pray for others.
3. God will work miracles & miracles again & again for us.
Willing to take it up, It is not luck but God's power & anointing.

Be a star thrower!!!
Wat are the purpose in the society we are living rite now? It is to grow into more influences... Requirements to be an influences in society. It is our responsibility as a Church to bring skin and flesh to the Word. We are to be like Jesus where the word become flesh and impact the society. When ppl look at you, they can see God. We are to go into the world to make disciples, only when you love them, they will know that God is here. Understand tt it is not how much u know, but how much they know that you love them. It is a warfare against spiritual principality. We need to love God wholeheartedly and love ppl fervantly. Ppl are not your enemies but the devil. How den shall we love humanity?: We got to be like star thrower. The story goes like this: There was once a wise man who was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead, was reaching down to the shore, picking up starfish and very gently throwing them into the ocean.When asked why he was throwing Starfish into the ocean, the young man answered "The sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don't throw them in they'll die". The wise man replied "But don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach with Starfish all along it, and that you can't possibly make a difference!"The young man listened politely, then bent down, picked up another Starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves. "It made a difference for that one", he said. I believe that we all have been gifted the ability to make a difference, it’s all up to us whether to do it or not. If we are aware of this gift, do you not realize you have the power to shape the future? We got to make a difference, cuz without love, it is nth even when you are spiritual => Balance is impt. We have to have individual, coporate making a difference in the society. Great Commission is fulfilled outside the church not within the church. Labels: Sermon
Let us look into Jesus Life when He enter into our world.

Anything you can think of and believe in, You can achieve it!!!
Dreams are impt in our lives, it is sth that propels a person to do the impossible in his or her physical realm but yet thru the ability of imagination achieving it. Our mind have the capacity to do the impossible according to scientist's research. Whenever, we tap into the rest of the brain, we are moving in the impossible and make it possible. Given the fact that we Christians are able to tap into God's strength and believe God will make it possible for us, we are able to tap and maximise the potential in us. The power of imagination come out of the creativity that is in us. When we realise it, there is creativity that God have given to u, and the ans is on how you tap into this creativity that God has given u. We are image of God's image, God's creativity. Without creativity, we perish in our work, careers and study. If we dun use creative idea to improve our lives, we live in lack and we perish Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
Pro 29:18. People without a vision perish.
With a vision, it bring discipline in your life. With discipline, you can achieve your goals faster. TO achieve your goals, you need to have creative ideas to move towards your goals. In the process of writing your goals down, it is a magnet when u put them into words and become visible and clearer towards your vision. It also make it stronger magnetise to your goals. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
My vision is my picture of my future. My vision have the magnetic power to pull me into my future. The clearer my vision, the stronger it is towards my future. When you have no future, you will always return to your past. It is like a dog return back to its vomit. It is like losing sight of their future. It is like backsliding... It is when you stop trusting God and return to your old ways. That is why the devil will try its best to get you return back to your past and rob you from having a future in your life.

Dun be limited by Reality!!!
2 Cor 4:18 Labels: Sermon
While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Reality is what you see, fixed facts, pinciples, laws. However, they are temporary. Y is that so? Cuz reality deals with possibility and are things which can be seen.
What is circumstances den? It is where you are standing in the cycle of events that is taking places in your lives. Circum= Circle, cyle. Stances = Your Standing.
Dun be fixated to the problems in your life, but get over the problems and move on. Circumstances are always on the move, they come and go. Dun dwell in it, just solve it and move on. You need to stand out of the natural realm and step into the realm of eternal. Stay strong and hold on to God. Rmb tt wat you see is always inferior to wat you cannot see. (Spiritual, eternal realm)
Live your life the spiritual and impossible realm where there is no limit and all things are possible in God. You got to challenge reality and believe in the impossible to make it possible.
Reality can be a limitor in your life!!! You got to deal with it or else it will deal with you. Take for example, IQ=> Intelligence can limit you, it can paralyse or immobilise you.
Pro 23:6-7
Dun be a miser. The world is ruthless in getting but we(Christians) shld be ruthless in giving.
Your reality is affected by economics!! How much money you have. Our reality is not fixed! Dun be constriats or limited or else you are at the mercy of the ppl who limit you.
Understand tt no one can limit your realm of imgination and impossibilites Cuz in the realm of the spirit, you are moving in the supernatural power of God. "I know who I am, being the child of God" => Power of God to change your reality, become a world shaker and history maker.
Prosperity is a state of thinking, not wat you have in your bank. Cuz you can be rich in your bank but yet have a poverty mindset or you can be poor in your bank but yet have a prosperity mindset. Gen 39:1-2, we see that Joseph though a slave in Egypt was yet a prosperous man and hence prosperity starts in the mind. Once you have the scarcity mindset, you are in the crisis of faith. Cuz our God is a God of abundance, He is El Shaddai. It all abt faith, hope, creativity, courage, hard work to get wealth. It is the power to get wealth thru God in Deut 8:18.
Pro 4:23
It mention on to guard your heart as it spring issue of life and death. Issue means the physical boundaries and territory and influences. It is thru the Holy Spirit that provides blessings and mulitplications.
Your reality is impacted by your financial position. Walking in the realm of the spirit, in the revelation of God.
Jn 3:12-13
Mention abt walking in heavenly realm in our hearts and mind even though walking ohysically in earthly realm.

How to prosper and win the lost!
Sermon shared by Rev Kong Hee. Labels: Sermon
Wat have you notice on the revival that is breaking forth in the Asian region now?
If u looks closely the youth and campus ministry is enlarging the capacity of the church which in church history have not been seen before. Why is tt so? What are the reasons that God is using us now for?
Questions upon questions... But U see we are one church in two locations. Having missionary trips and planting churches, equipping churches, raising new generations to impact the marketplace, penetrate the marketplace and into the marketplace. How is God moving in this generations?
See the trends? God uses people who choose to let others wants to know God more. Cuz Christianity is a faith of Choice. Refer 1 Cor 2:9.
Gen 26:1-6
Over here we saw How God use Issac in times of difficulty and raise a generation of great faith. God says not to panic nor go back to the past but to STAY!!! To remain in our current situation and work out a solution!!! To be planted in the marketplace and God will prosper you!
Gen 26:12-14
God ask Issac to stay and begin to sow into the land, to stay in the realm of promises and faith in God. SO Issac sowed and reaped becuz he obeyed God's voice by applying creative Hard-work as it is a tough way to sow in a famine land, and it surely need creative ideas to bring forth a harvest!!! God is certain about your prosperity!!!
Gen 26:25
Issac begin to lean on God and build an altar = worship and call on God.
Next he started to build and provide for his family = pitch his tents.
Last he dig the wells = instructed to work.
See the flow, when we put God first, he will provide us the needs to build our r/s with ppl and also enlarge your working capacity to provide and be a blessing.
Gen 28:10-22 Jacob's vow at Bethal
Over here, Jacob see the House of God where there is a ladder connecting the Church and heaven and prayer request are going up and answers to prayer request bringing down. It is also where dreams and visions are birth forth. Miracles and deliverance, healing and salvation are fulfilled. A place where God spoke His Rhema into our lives, and also know God's purpose. And also see the keys to prosperity is when u TITHE!!! and tithe faithfully...
2 Chron 5:13-14 God's glory reveal His character and His excellence and filled the house of God. Building a spiritual altar to God is not just a normal building but a building of spiritual warfare against the devil. The altar also look into the heart on sacrifices.
The altar builds up :
1. Spiritual Maturity = Building people and character.
It is where people living out the great commandment and great commission until you become a generous person in giving to be a blessing on others.
2. Spiritual Revival = Ezra 9:9
With our priority on God, the Holy Spirit brings us into another level and revival break forth but u need to stay connected to God. God will rebuild and bring forth revival when we connect and commit into Him.
3. Spiritual Purpose = Ownership
Ownership is always better den rental. It is important to have the Great Commandment [local church to win the lost], Great Commission [church planting] and the Cultural Mandate [to be an influences in the world as salt and light] in us.
So it is important for us to be contemporary and yet with spiritual depth. To be sophisticated, creative and influential. God loves us no matter who we are but He loves us too much to leave us the same. It is the ability to TITHE and give God the first place and be faithfully tithing into His Kingdom.
7 Benefits of tithing:
1. Our church will continue to be a blessing to others.
2. Heaven will be open over us. God advise is always the best!!!
3. God's blessing is overflowing and prosperity will be upon you and pouring out on you.
4. God's protection from the devil
5. Your hard work will bear fruits.
6. Your investments will bring back good return.
7. Your influences and legacy will filled the earth.

Walking in the Love of God! Receiving the Love of God and let it flow out of you!!
Revival revolve every member of the Body of Christ. A spark to spur thing going. We got to stay stir up with the passion and fire to continue the works of God. Familiarity is a dangerous thing, dun get accustom to things as it will dried up your spirit. We got to Stay Amazed!!! Encourage ourselves rather than waiting for others to encourage us. On the journey with God, we are change from glory to glory. Refer Mt22:36-40. Labels: Sermon
AS mention, when we are in God, we can relax and enjoy while making progress. Having peace with ourselves will equate to having the peace of God flow in u, thus able to have peace with others ard u. 2Cor 3:18. You cannot give what you do not have. God put in you the seed for it to grow so that you can develop your gifts and talents. We got to let the Holy Spirit work in our life so that we can start to bear fruit for God, to work sth outside from the inside. Rom 5:5
If you dun take care of yourselves, God can't use u. You are not free until you know that you need not to impress anybody. 1 Cor 12:31 talks abt not being admired but to DO. We got to dress properly in front of God and present ourselves in a proper manner to Him spiritually, it is simply to live a crucified life to display Jesus. You can feel sth but yet let Jesus flow out of u, it means to let Jesus have a total control in your life, for the Bible says "Not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit of God." The willing to die for self is where God can move. We also need to study the word and be available for God to work in us to flow thru and out of us.
It is not how much you know, how smart you are, or how good looking you are, it is the personal intimate r/s with God by seeking Him that is the key to reach out to others. God has taught us to treat ppl right. The essence of Christianity is to Love God and Love ppl, making a difference in someone else life. With these, you can enjoy double blessings from former troubles.

Seizing the moment By Joyce Meyer
Joyce Meyer share abt how we can seize the moment and not miss opportunity in life, I was quite blessed by the sermon as it reflects on times where we do not know how to take the chance given to us at a particular moments and den miss it. She quote that God delights in Bold Courageous spirit that will step out into the unknown, passionate enough to not miss opportunity. Thus, we shldn't let opportunity go juz because of inconvenience, we shld have a spirit of not giving up and learn to discern more of our opportunity as there is as many happening that can have come if u take up the opportunity. It is also necessary for us to know that Growth always bring abt changes which is the power of the church to train workers to got out into the ministries. We shld also carry the love revolution of really loving ppl out there and sharing the fruit to the ppl and blessing them. It is often that Christian having too much talking without showing or acting on it. We shld show our love and not hide it. Labels: Sermon
Next thing we shld be is on how to become a "now" person, taking advantages of everyday at its present moment. It shld be exciting to experience God daily. Dun use today to regret ytd nor worry abt tmr as it wastes away your day, in fact we shld learn how to maximise the day itself today and now. We have to learn to break away the soul ties of the past and move on as God have a greater plan and purpose for u. As the devil tries to pull you back from where God is gg to lead you away.
Jesus also shared abt "I am", hence He already show us that Right now is the moment and we shld live for the moment not I was nor I will be. Where God is, there is life. Not where God was or God gg to be, den there is life. Thus, we have to let go what lay behind and hold on things that God is preparing and pressing on. Like the women with the issue of blood press on to touch the helm of Jesus and the blind crying out for Jesus for healing. We got to be bold and daring to engage God. We also need to know who we are in God to be fruitful in God. We shld not be afraid of our position. Dun struggle to be who u r when u are already in it. Joyce Meyer have an illustration where when we are in God, we are actually seated at a rocking chair enjoy God's blessing, but often even when we are seated b4 God's blessing, we kept thinking how we can be seated in God's blessing. Isn't it funny to think abt it, when you r seated and u kept thinking on how to seat on God's blessing.
Next she shared that what we do does not change who we are. God will deal with your sinning but it will not change the fact that He still loves you. So we need to position ourselves right where we not juz know who God is but also who we are in Him to be effective servant of His kingdom. We shld learn to be relax in God that will make the devil pissed off as we shld not panic, God have everything ready for u, so we need to trust in Him and relax in His blessing, not worrying or thinking of our ways. Rmb God's ways are always higher den ours. In Heb11:1 says that faith is define as NOW, it is not ytd nor tmr. Right now all we have to do is to believe that God have already done it. So enjoy and get the most of it today. You dun need a wishbone in your life but you need a backbone. God's promises is for whosoever will.
We shld also know how to be at the cutting edge and at the edge of God's anointing to pour unto our life so that we will not miss opportunity. Do what you are good at, Jesus will stop when He see your passion and will lead you to a greater heights. Religion will not change a person, it is the deeper r/s with God that will change you.
Scripture for reference: Isa 43:19, Exo 3:13, 2 Cor 5:15-17, Rom 6:22, 7, James 1, 1 John 2:22, Isa 61:7-8, Eph 5:15-17, Gal 6:10, Luke 19:2

Attaining Godly Love thru Discipline
Our life is all abt transformation to be more like Christ, to be godliness thru discipline. It is not juz inspire us to be better but transform us to a higher level. Our life is all on progression, it has to move on from one level to another. Labels: Sermon
2 Tim 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
The Holy Spirit is to equip us for greater works thru CG, BS, Svc, Daily quiet time.
The Word of God is like a compass which direct our paths to where we shld head pointing the right direction for us.
1 Jn 2:15-17
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
3 discipline to see transformation in our life.
1. To see transformation, we need the discipline of affection.
You have to discipline your love for God. These allow us to choose whom and what we will love. Thus it is where your heart is, that your treasure will be. Your treasure is what is precious to you. Your treasure is your thought, energy and resources you have. Our thoughts are precious treasure that can be given to God to take lordship over, as you need to put on the right thoughts. Hence, you need to spend more time with God, to fall in love with Him over again.
2. To see transformation, we need the discipline of adoption.
Adoption is where u need to catch the things of God and not of the world. It determines what you will progress in our life. It is the craving u have, your goals in life, ur flesh desires.
Eph 4:22-24
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Here, we learn to put off the old man and put on the new man, which means new craving in God. Putting on new goals that are godly to replace your old goals. We also need to adopt new visions and work towards it. We also need to have new recognition in our life and change the level of recognition from people's views on us.
3.To see transformation, we need the discipline of taking action.
Taking action is abt doing the will of God, cuz it is not juz think or hear but doin it. Repeat action will become habit in us that will lead us to our destiny. Having the right habit will bring us to the right destiny. We need to take a step of faith as a daily continuous and on-going habit so that we are able to have faith habit and leads to faith destiny. It is not juz ur past but what you are progressing, so keep on doing the works to bring u to ur destiny.
Jn 6:27-29
27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” 28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
1 Tim 4:8
For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
Put into action in affection and adoption. Focus on God that will bless you in life. Put of your mouth flow issue of life. You need to focus on WOG, not juz the situation.

Living by the Word of God!!!
In our Christian walk with God, have you ever struggle whereby God ask u to do sth yet your feelings tell u to do another? Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
Rmb Jesus being tempts after He was baptised and being brought into the wilderness. See how he contested with the devil by saying "It is written". Jesus shows us how to live by God's word and not trust our feelings. Yes we shld show our feeling readily to others but we shld even more listen to God's response to our life. Jesus fought with the devil with the Word of God. What makes us different from non-believers is that God love you but u have to believe or else the devil can rob away ur trust in God, as the devil can manipulate ur feelings but not ur faith. Cuz faith is sth within u, it gives u the strength when u believe. Like Abraham, he is able to trust God that he is called father of our faith. Abraham was initially called Abram but God changes his name and thus change his destiny. Walking in faith requires the change of name, though not in paper but in Spirit. Simon Peter also have his name change when Jesus called him into his destiny.
Eph 1:7-14(NKJV)
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
This verses speak that wateva we faced or go thru, the ultimate aim is to glorify God. It is not that God gloat over our sorrows, but it is when trails that does not defeat u but leads u to triumph that glorifies the power of God. Notice God will always leads u thru adversities and give u more strength to overcome ur situation. However when we refuse to progress, our feeling are being provoke and we start to blame God. So whenever you faced with trails is for us to progress. We have to change our mindset from defeat into conqueror.
Ps 23 [NKJV]
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
You notice that King David called God as The Lord in the first verse to He in the second and third verse to YOU in verse five and six. You see Each time David draws God closer thru the name he used to called God. We also need to do the same, drawing near to God for him to touch us. God take a long time to do sth suddenly. It is how God response, He want us to dwell in his presence and not hastily pass Him by. We shld also need to know that God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit alone is more than enough that we can request of, as thru them, we can have the riches and glory thru Him. We shld not care more of the blessings and forgets the blesser, more of the healings and forgets the healer.
Jn 11 speaks of an interesting story abt Mary and Martha abt the death of Lazarus. Martha was so engross with her feeling that she send words on "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick." Jesus nva response immediately cuz He have a better plan that can glorify God. We can see how Jesus raised Lazarus and glorify God. It is not the end until God says so. God is a giver of life not death. Right here and right now you will see God glorify.
Lets take another look at Luke10:38-42, over here we see a distinct difference between Mary and Martha, one is a worshipper, while the other is worker. But what impress Jesus is Mary and not Martha. Faith is often where God's power flow. So we need to have the Mary's style of worship.
Third night sermon
Our God is a colourful God. Church that experiences growth proves one thing which is it is fun to attend. We need to move aways from dull service into a vibrant experience as our God is vibrant.
2 Kings 4:8-10
8 Now it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a notable woman, and she persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn in there to eat some food. 9 And she said to her husband, “Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us regularly. 10 Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.”
We got to prepare room for God to visit us, but not juz visit but stay with us. We need to have the passion and fire in our life. It is about connecting with id not juz praying to Him, we need to know God and experience Him. We need to create space for God.
Notice in the verse:
Bed is where dreams and visions are.
Chair is where The Lord takes the Lordship over our life.
Table is where we can feast with the Lord.
Lampstamp is where the light of God shine thru us
*So we need to renew our mind and heart for God to enter and be receive in us. Miracles is always a stretch of our hands. We need to stretch out for God as He draws near to us.

Moving in the Spirit!!! {First night of FOP}
Over the wkend, I had a wonderful time at Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS) for Festival of Praise (FOP). We had world leading christian band Delirious? and Don Moen to lead us in a time of praise and worship. It really brings down the presence of God daily from Fri - Sun. I really feel the songs like jumping into me and really speaks revelation to me as the words sink into my heart and run in my mind, it is as though God is revealing things to me. As we enter the presence of God thru thanksgiving, praise and worship, it was awesome. We also had a powerful speaker Rev. Phil Pringle who share the Word of God for the three night as each night leads us into higher glory and grace of God pour down from heaven as the word is being preached. I was so blessed for the three night. God is really Good all the times, and All the times, God is good. Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
The first night sermon
Rev Phil shared on walking in the Spirit.
Acts 15:16(Amp)
After this I will come back, and will rebuild the house of David, which has fallen; I will rebuild its [very] ruins, and I will set it up again,
In the old testament, God is often view as some one who is fearing in nature to human, as no one can come to Him except the High priest every year once. It is a nervous situation to enter the Holy of holies, within the veil.
However, God make a special request tt He wan to restore David's tabernacle. What is so different abt David's tabernacle compare to other tabernacles in the old testament?
When Moses started the First tabernacle of God, God is kept in this box and hidden in the Holy of Holies on the ark within the veil. Yet when King David restores the tabernacle, it is place with the veil open and oversees the whole of Israel where daily there is thanksgiving, praise and worship offer to the Lord. It is full of life and enjoy. As King David is a person who likes to worship and draw near to God, he is a happy man, who writes poet, songs to the Lord. There is a complete contrast where the fear of the Lord turns into love and longing for the presence of God. David illustrates that fear of the Lord may not lead to a distant relationship with God, in fact it can be translated with adoration of God and longing for His presence with us.
Like the song "I adore you, I adore you, I adore you my Lord". One things also show in the Bible is that, God confess that He meet with David with rejoices. God enjoys David's accompany so much that He lets Jesus become the descendant of David. Thus i is not juz religious thing that God visit us, but it is the inward attitude that God is looking for, a place of thanksgiving, praise and worship that He is able to build a strong relationship with us, juz as Jesus with His disciples.
Notice over here. God is seeking for an open heart where our soul's veil is open for Him to enter, and that our social veil is also open to the world where He can use us to shine His glory and presence to the world. So now our mandate is to open the veil and reveals who God really is and not hide Him in the veil.
The door of God will only open when we start to give thanks to Him! So stop grumble abt ur problems, instead start to give thanks. Read the Book of Psalms whenever u r sad, u will see how David even in the most distress situation still choose to give thanks to God. It is den that God deliver him thru his situation and guide him. Know that worship complete us and give us the experience to include God in our life, bring in the presence of God.
Acts 3:19 talks about the refreshing of God's presence in out life is an important things for us to continue in Him. It is not the system of the world that carry the presence of Gd into our life, not the religious things, not the music, not the sermon, but it is really people who carry the presence of God. Rmb how King David carry the ark of God using bull cart during his first try to bring it back to Israel, as compare it is carry on men's shoulders the second time. [For more information, u can read 1Chronicles 13-15] The touch of God should be living in us, we shld be the one carry the presence of God, it is not worship, it is not the music, it is not the pastors, but US.
We shld carry the anointing of God, the fresh oil from God, to be hunger to be renewed. God was so touched at King David's attitude toward Him, that He praise King David abt it. The Book of Psalms show how King David will always withdraw away from all his works to engage God, cuz he nva forgets the First anointing of oil being pour on him by the prophet Samuel, where God's presence fall on him and reveals his destiny. Thus, we need to have the pouring of oil in our life daily. Cuz when we learn to worship God daily, our strength and power will be renew with God's presence.
Let us have King David's attitude of worship, bringing down the presence of God.
*Pls look forward for the next few days post as I will reveal more on the sermon shared and revelations from God.

Cell Group Sharing!!!
Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
The Above picture was taken when we were joking abt Ben playing with lollipop and Sing Yee went shopping with me, Eileen Chia and Ben at Bugis street on one of the Sun after svc.
This is taken after svc of our gorgeous lady with their new ear rings.
B4 Cg, we had a sumptuous meal treat by Winnie. It was great having the meal as B4 the meal I was having tuition with my new kid at Bedok. After the meal, we had Cg at Alfred and Winnie house. It was really new and great, cuz b4 the game start, we had a try on how to set up a fan for CG use. Today Cg was more on reflection and revelation. Ben and Serena shown us how their walk in Christian life. It was a wonderful sharing. Den Kenneth, did a small sharing based on what they shared and highlighted that God's original plan is really for us to do all things with possibility, as impossibility was devil's plan and sin blinded our hearts and eyes and become fear and make us naked.
Understand also that what is little in our hands, when we trust it in God's hand can beome much. Our lives may be little or less worth but when we placed ourselves into God's hand, our value is lifted up as we start to impact ppl's lives. Cuz "A vision is not measure by how big it is, but how much it can contains and impact." We need to carry the visions of our lives and othes as it is where your life values is increased and lifted up.
Heb 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
2 Tim 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of POWER and of LOVE and of a SOUND MIND.
The sharing today is similiar to my revealtion this wk tt I posted on Cell Grp Blog that titled "All things are possible in God"
This is taken today after CG at Alfred and Winnie house.

The Art of Problem Solving By A R Bernard
1 John 5:4 *The world need to be overcome. God has call us to empower us to overcome the world. Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
We are overcomer. In order to be an overcomer, you must have sth to overcome. In fact there is a lot of obstacles to overcome in our life. It is easy to flow in the current but harder to go against the current.
All good things are found upstreams. It is easy to get into the boat to flow down the streams, but it takes effort to peddle upstream. U need effort to be an overcomer, there is exactly what God ask u to be,when u r born of God you are called to be an overcomer.
Overcomer = Problem Solver
Solving problems is a way of life. The world pays people top dollars to solve their problems. We are not the victim of problem but problem solver. We are to influence our city, our world and position ourselves where people will go to. Leadership is a tedious job. There is more problems den ppl in the world. We got to see problems on the different angle. We have to see life differently.
So we need to develop the skills, you develop the ability to be able to be problem solver. Develop patterns, develop understanding and you go thru it, you will be able to prove out and find thing quickly.
John 12:20-25
When u can solve problems, ppl will go after u. Jesus speak out of the revelation of ambassadors of Christ that will take over the “go-to” person of the ppl who need u to reach out to, Being a representatives of Christ to reach out to ppl.
Skills we can attain thru
1.Study.
2.Practice.
3.Observations
It is an art form when we develop the skills thru study, practice and observations and become an artists. U will become highly equipped with the skills and become the “go-to” person. A wise leader must reproduce himself. Thru our r/s with God, we have the anointing of God and able to help ppl.
Art, it is the skill attained by s1 thru study, practice, observations. Tt is y we need to learn thru ppl's experience, wateva u wan to be good at, u need to make it an art. We shld be able to read circumstances and not be overwhelm by it. An opportunity for u to use ur skill to advances ur skills in it when u engage the problems.
Luke 9:10-18
Problem solver think tt everything have potential to change the situation. U need to organise thing to solve the problem, putting it in order. You are not limited in wisdom when u r in God. Problem produce patience, endurance and maturity upbringing of character and confidence and trust in God. Admitting the present condition will solve the problem as denial will not solve the problem. U cannot heal a thing tt is not there. U need to admit the situation and allow it to be solved. We need to be honest of the present condition and do it without shame and these will allow u not to be paralysed.
Wateva u fail to change, problems will come back again. Dun let failure make u ashamed but be strong to admit it and do it without fear and u will be able to solve the problem. We shld not be ashamed of problem, dun blame others. Do without shame and blame, be honest and accept responsibility!!! Dun be vague. Write down ur problem so u are able to face it and not shun away in your mind. Prayer with total openness and truth for God's direction. You cannot solve problem at the same level u r created. Everytime u solved the problems, it take u into a new level. Great relationship is born out of problems. Move out of ur comfort zone and move into a new level, time to move up and move on to new stage of knowledge and responsibility and authority and deepening of our character.
Insight gives u the ability to discern the true identity of the situation. It happens when u prays and God gives u insight or when u brainstorm the situation. We have to keep asking and seeking.
Mt 7:7, James 1:5-6
Step away is another alternatives to solve the problem but it does not mean giving up. Cuz it allows u to take a step back and view the situation with a greater picture. Step away and do sth else totally unrelated to the problem as solution can appear. Do sth u like to do and u can be sure to be able to solve the problem, but dun stay away too long.

Your Will, Lord Not Mine
Discovering God’s Plan for Your Life by Benny Hinn Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
Having everything you want and yet feel empty - Material world without spiritually filled
Having your way in everything you want to do - Strong willed person without wisdom
Living in God without knowing the purpose - Spirit filled yet without wisdom
Self serving vs God serving - Pride person without humility
God’s desire is for us to be molded into His image, no matter what it costs.
How you know that you are doing what you supposed to be doing with your life.
You’ve messed up so much, how can you get back on track.
How to know God’s will and serve Him.
God loves you and has a plan for your life. Living in God > God will work in your life > Enjoys the blessing > touch other ppl with a life giving message. Some ppl called it Destiny or Providence or Fate.
John 16:13
The Holy Spirit guide us into all truth using the Word of God to help us make the right decisions as we seek His will and be sensitively led by Him.
The Holy Spirit speaks to us on behalf of God. The more you listen and obey, the better you hear from Him
The Holy Spirit shows us things to come. When we make decisions, the Holy Spirit can reveal future events that may affect or be affected by that decision.
It is your responsibility to find God’s plan for your life.
John 10:10 God has plan for you but Satan also have plan for you that it comes to steal, to kill and to destroy what God has for you.
God’s road of abundance and life vs Satan road of destruction and death.
Eph 5:17 Understand the will of God
Mt 6:30 God cares about you.
1. God’s will can only be found in Jesus Christ. 1 Thess 5:18
Rom 10:13 Call upon my name, and you shall be saved.
2 Cor 5:17 Being born again and having the new man where the old man is being put away.
2. God’s will is always good Rom12:2
When God is involved, you can be in the midst of a problem and yet still have total peace. You can be going through a storm and yet remain calm. If there is any evil presence or demonic oppression, it’s not good and it is not God. God is peace, no peace mean no God.
3. God’s will must be sought.
Understanding God’s will involves a transformation. Greek word for transformation formed the word “metamorphose”.
Understanding and doing God’s will means that you will go through a total transformation throughout your life. You need to present your body to God > Allow Him to transform your mind > understand that if your body does not belong to God, your mind cannot be renewed.
You will not understand God unless you search for it. The more you read the Word of God and prays, the more you attune to God’s voice as He responds to you.
A heightened knowledge of the Word and a growing familiarity with God’s voice enables you to more readily recognize God’s leading. God’s will for you is good, acceptable and perfect.
Hearing God’s Voice through:
1. Word of God.
Reading the Bible each time will allow you to discover new meanings even the most familiar passages of the Scriptures.
2. Dreams and visions. Acts 22:17-19
Our lives was changed because of God’s visionary response to our prayers and obedience.
3. Circumstances.
God speaks through circumstances because the answers are difficult to miss. Circumstances can be excellent ways in which God chooses to show His directions. God answers through specific circumstances.
4. Prophecy and the Gifts of the Spirit. 1 Cor 14:3
3 Purposes
a. Edification means building you up in faith.
b. Exhortation encourages you to move forward.
c. Comfort reassures and calm.
A prophetic word should confirm what you already know deep down in your heart, above all, it must agree with Scripture.
5. An audible voice. Num 12:6-8
God do speak out to us directly.
6. Similitude. Hos 12:10
God speaks through a likeness or image so powerful you cannot get it out of your mind.
7. Supernatural peace Phil 4:7
When prayer is at its highest, we wait in silence for God’s voice to us, we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.
When your heart is filled with an indescribable peace that surpasses all human understanding, you are in the center of God’s will.
A man that can interpret the will of God is fully surrendered to Him. To be in will of God, we must be willing to obey Him and do His will.
Doing God’s Will Heb 13:20-21
Building your spiritual discernment so that you know and understand God’s will.
4 Stumbling Block: You need to develop spiritual “eyes” to recognize God’s direction in your life.
1. Living in sin – You got to ask forgiveness for your sin and to be make able to hear God’s voice again as Sin create a barrier between God and us. (Isa 59:2)
2. Hatred and Bitterness – Ask the Holy Spirit to give you strength to forgive. (1 John 2:9-11)
3. Busy-ness and confusion – God simply doesn’t live according to our timetable and the way of this world. (Ps 46:10 Be still and know that I am God) Be still enough to listen (Ps 23:2 / 2 Cor 11:3)
(1 Cor 14:33 God the author of peace)
4. A Made –up Mind
Dun come to God with a plan of your own, you will not hear God or you will only hear what you want to hear. And if God answer differently that you expect, you assume that He hasn’t answer you.
Always be ready to confess and to turn from your sin. Forgive those who have hurt you. Wait on God. Seek God with no will of your own. These require an awesome act of faith to set your will aside.
4 Stepping stones
1. Humility Ps 51:17
Have a humble heart. With true humility, God will move heaven and earth to speak to you and direct our paths.
2. Reverences Ps 34:9
Fearing God does not mean being scared of Him, it means reverencing Him
3. Maturity Heb 5:12-14
Doing God’s will means understanding the process of maturing in the Lord. you need to know God’s word to know His will. We must feed on the word, memorize it, meditate on it, pray over it and apply it to our lives. Maturity is a process. Changes are constant in the kingdom of God. Growth is vital. Through exercise that faith in God – knowing God, His word and His ways – the Christian becomes increasingly able to understand what is God’s will.
4. Prayer
You have to use what God plants in you at salvation, as the Holy Spirit have deposits a seed within your life that gives you the ability to hear God’s voice. That seed is watered through prayer. You will never know God’s will without watering this seed everyday. If the seed is water sporadically, its growth will be stunned. The seeds must be watered everyday because God speaks daily. (John 15:7 Abiding in God’s word)
You get to know the Lord as you prays daily. You talk to Him. You listen for His voice. And the more you hear His voice, the more discerning your ears become at recognizing Him.
God’s will – A Process
As you grow in the Lord, responding in obedience to His guidance, the Father will entrust more and more to you: more responsibilities, more power, more authority, more blessings, more challenges. He knows He can share His heart’s desire (His will) with you because you obey Him. It is a walk of faith; a relationship like this must be exercised and strengthened.
Staying in God’s Will Pro 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord always and lean not on your own understanding.
The Holy Spirit refreshed and refined our vision to reach the world for Christ. The faith of worldwide ministry we do today hasn’t happened without challenges, detours, and learning how to walk in Him, one day at a time. It’s the same for each of us, no matter what we are called to do. It’s a walk of faith that begins with small steps and then grows in direct proportion to our obedience to the Father’s guidance.
The will of God
Every believer is called to hear God’s voice and to follow His will. The Key is keeping your heart pointed toward God. This is a lifelong endeavor and a constant challenge (Deut 6:5).
Although knowing God’s will is important, doing His will with a soft, pliable heart is the mark of true wisdom (1 John 2:17).
Our Father desires to spend time with us now as preparation for an eternity together with Him. He wants to be involved in everything we do. He desires to guide our steps. He cared enough to offer His only begotten Son’s life as a sacrifice for the purpose of saving our souls and revealing His will to us. No matter what’s going on in your life right now, be encouraged. There is hope.
You see, most people know about God. Fewer know Him. Even fewer know and do His will. There is a big difference, and the choices we make are vital to the steps we take with Him.
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to know God and to do the will of God? Are you willing to make your relationship with Him the most important part of your life? Are you willing to pay the price for such a wonderful walk with Him? (Rom 12:1-2)

Power of Simple Prayer
How u can say ur first simple prayer: Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
1. Ask Dear God, come into my live. Follow by confession of ur sins.
2. If u are able to confess your sin before God, He who is faithful and just will forgives you.
3. Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit. Know how to get drunk and filled in the Holy Spirit.
Simple things can’t be powerful thing while powerful things can’t be that simple. But prayer is very powerful and yet it is simple. Prayer is the conversation between two people who loved each other. Everyone loved to be loved and love to talk so how can u be too busy to pray. Prayer is when u talks to God and also listens from God, it is not one of the other but is a two-way answers. It is our way to fellowship with God, it is important.
Devil's greatest tools are to keep u (believers) away from prayer where it makes u the weakest to testify God's move in your life. Dun be cheated to keep away from prayer as u r being cheated by the devils. Dun be too busy with other thins that u forgets to pray and spend time with God. So rmb to spend time with God to build up ur relationship with God. Make it a decision and keep it a regular time basis. Set the time u wan to seek God. You need to form a habit of prayer, dun leave until u feel God, u need to learn to be hungry and thirst for God to move in your life.
Ask Him about His dreams and visions for u during your prayer. In the time u spend with God, you have to frame your prayer life. U need to make an appointment with God, so u need to have the right attitude when u spend time with God and u will find it precious just like when ur boss make a appointment to meet u, will u be sloppy or late for tt appointment with your boss? SO make it the same attitude when u meet God, make sure u r ready and excited when u seek God in your prayer.
God will hears your prayer no matter wat, but it sometimes do take time for God to act, but sometimes it is settle instantly, God will surely reply ur prayer but it is a matter of times.
Christianity is not juz a religion but it more of a relationship. Jesus came not to die for a religion but a relationship that we can be connected back with God our Father in heaven. We need to have a close relationship that is personal and connected with God. Everyday u need prayer to heals, comforts, and more for God to move in your spiritual walk with God, knowing that seeking God is not a formulae that we do prayer and not knowing. God wants our time and wants to spend time with u.
When you seek God, u need to humble urself and sometimes u will know that wat is wrong with urself that breakthrough cannot happen unless u change urself in order to change others. You have to let God do sth in u now before He can do sth on the friends and ppl ard u. Dun have time just for ministry tt u forget ur valuable time with God. We dun worships ministry but God He alone.
Prayers always open doors for God to move in your life. It is when u pray den you allow urself to open up the doors in your life for God to move mightily in your life. Start to be discipline to pray.
Powerful prayer life is when u know how to spend time with God. Praise God in your prayer, confess your sins, prayer for ppl that request from u, open the bible for God to speak revelation to u. Prayer of a righteous man prevails much and brings more effective power move of God. Acknowledge that only God works miracle in your life not juz coincident. Lead by the spirit brings life as there is no life in the Law. Prayer is not abt convenience but things that are important For Him to equip u to move mightily in your life that you can be a light and salt of this world.
You need to humble yourself and make it a point to seek God. God is immediate so speak His name in time of trouble. You need to seek God just like when u first seek Him. Not becuz u become a mature Christians den u forget abt prayer of a little child. Jesus say that we need to seek Him just like a Child seeks His Father.
God will teach u how to pray but u need to start with a plan. It is ur daily appointment with God that u r able to hear God speak.

Sermon By Rev Robb
2 Sam 11:1-4, 12:9-19, 1 Cor 4:24-27, 1 Chr 28:3 Labels: Sermon
Everything you do has a consequence, you cannot pretend nothing has happened or that everything will be alright without having to face it.
What is your manifesto? What will people think the moment they think of you?
Manifesto - it is the public declaration of your standards and principles?
Are you going to be a person of standard? Or someone who compromise?
1. No matter how difficult life may seem, never let circumstance dictate your decisions.
-Ruth 1:1-6, Psm 15:4
2. You will either raise your standards to meet your expectations or lower your standards to match your performance.
-Isa 59:19, Prov 23:5-6
3. Only the irresponsible are willing to sacrifice the future in order to enjoy the present.
-Psm 11:3, luk 6:46-48
-What is 'God-abuse'? - It is the idea that you can get away with something in God that the world will hold you accountable for. (E.g. licentiousness)
4. The portrait of your life is painted with the brush of your character.
-Gen 39:7-9, 41:37-42, Mt 26:14-16, 27:3-5
5. You can never know a person by what they say. You meet them the moment you are willing to believe what they do.
-Jam 2:14-18
6. The productivity of any relationship is dependent upon the standard it celebrates.
-Jhn 15:14, Psm 119:79, Heb 12:1
a) My friends must be committed to lifelong relationships.
b) My friends must be moving toward a productive future. (Not just because they are fun!)
c) My friends must be generous.
d) My friends must qualify to receive my seed.
e) My friends must place character above relationship.
f) My friends must be willing to confront my enemies.
7. There's nothing more dangerous than the moment you become a hostage to yesterday's comfort zone
-Phi 3:13-15, Rev 3:14-19
8. Whatever you refuse to conquer today will be next to impossible to conquer tomorrow.
-Jam 5:16, Mt 5:29-30, 6:19-21
-Your enemy is the smallest the moment you see it, dont give it time to grow!
-Talk to your enemy, dont let him talk to you.
-Stop listening to yourself and start talking to yourself!
