Kingdom Come

{Wednesday, July 20, 2005 . }

U R CALLED

Notice the increasing signs and symbols of false worship around you?
Or have these become so much a part of the scenery you're numbed to it?
Or have you been deeply distressed and reacting in self-righteous indignation?
REPENT!
Ask THE Lord to break your heart over the lostness of man! Ask Him to baptise you in His compassionate love for souls.

Wat do u do?
List at least 10 pre-believers u know by name. Ask the Lord to burden you about their lostness! Pray fervently that all 10 will come to Christ before the end of this year through your Christlike witness.

No i did not come up with this,
but this shall be implanted into ur hearts,
you gotta understand the importance of the lost.
it's more than just compassion,
it's more that just the numbers.
we are accountable.
we are responsible.
remember we are here to make the Gospel available.
all of us haf a similar calling.
Soul-winning that is.
it does not take an evangelist, worship leader, musician, healer or pastor to win the lost.
it takes all of us.
young as we may be,
we have all it takes to make this difference.
if it means to lose everything to get the people we love saved and serving God,
it has got to be a sacrifice.
how much do u want this is up to u..how bad u want it, it's up to u.
God gave u choices.
Make the right ones today.
Stop living for urself and live for Him.
u were not meant for mere attenders of church services.
if in this way, we dun need disciples, all we need are a bunch of robots.
Make up ur mind today.
In or out.
God or not.
Take it or leave it.
Remember, the world is in ur hands..
God has given u the power to do great things!
So start today,
it is never too late when u take that step of Faith!
Walk with God and He will walk with u.

Your frens n family need God.
u know it.

So start fishin man!

Today's devotion: Standing Strong in Persecution.

we must always live our lives for Jesus.
tat statement is literally a requirement now,
not just a mere statement.
it is a requirement that shd be deeply rooted in us.

Jesus too, suffered persecution.
Also did many of the heros in the Bible.
Jesus the greatest hero, did too..and we also will have to suffer for Him.

is it unfair like this?
well, it is no longer bout fairness anymore..
it's the extent one would go to foresake and sacrifice for the Kingdom.
it is the priorities set to bring glory only..and mind u,
Only
for God.

the revelation i get from this whole only thing,
is that God is beyond our priorities,
He is never numbered becos He's the onli one in our minds all the time.
so how,
how can anyone shortchange such an awesome God?

anyways,
we can do better for the cell group

------ {Tuesday, July 12, 2005 . I m not ashamed of the gospel !!!}

hee.. dis happen to be the theme of my crusade camp as well..

anyway, dats besides the point la..

Evangelism..as christians, its our responsibility to be active in this area... we have to fufill the great commission... in this generation!!! its our responsibility...

paul was obliggated... so eager.. and not ashamed.... (romans 1:14-15).. y? he is not ashamed because he is convinced of the gospel!!! he knows he is in debt cos he has not finished wad god has called all christians to do.. he is in debt to God to do his work as long as he has not returned to live with him....thus he is obligated..and he is so eager to do it...

acts 17 : 16While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. 17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.

he was deeply distressed of the idolatry dat he immediately did evangelism in the marketplace... day by day!!! are u jealous for the glory of god??? are u distressed enough to stand up for jesus??? or are u ahamed?

we have to be bold in evangelism... but first, how convinced are you about your faith? boldness comes from knowing the gospel... we must be convinced in our heart and in our mind..is there something u brushed aside without knowing? have u mastered the apologetics? * click on the link* haaaaaaaa

be sure and convinced!!! are you living purely on faith without reason? do not be...!!! be convinced of the POWER of the gospel!!! follow paul!!!

today , we need to be contemporary christians.. times are changing and we must be smart christians who adapt to the changing times!!!... know how the word relate to the world..

in today changing world, there is more emphasis on christian conduct.. we gotta be a light to the world.. work to excellence in everything dat we do!!! attidude wise we gotta be careful!!! be good examples to the world... students..excell in studies.. y? because how we christians behave will be wad the world view christians as on a whole... the world is interested in results and theory now.. secondly we gotta be sure of why and what we believe.. thirdly, BE BOLD!!!

many a times it is us who do not take the first step to share the gospel.. due to our own fear.. but in reality, the mass outside is very willing to listen... its just whether we are bold enough to share.. today during NTU CHC orientation.. many chinese nationals are present.. and many received christ!!! they are very open actually!!it just take one invitation!! u should see how 'on' they are about worshiping God man... and so willing to know more.. asking us questions they want to clarify... it was great...

Do not be afraid pple are all unwilling to know about God... in reality God have implanted in every single one the longing to know about HIM.. it just take your boldness...

Love S'pore 2005 July 25th

We all have our cliques.

But not God. God being God, He loves to moved beyond our circles of peity to seek out lost sheep, preparing them for salvation even before the "preacher" shows up.

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until He comes and showers righteousness on you.
Hosea 10:12

HEED THE CALL: Put your house in order! Be transparent. Do not run on empty. Take time off today to make things right. Pray thru the repentance issues - *Idolatries, Independence, Impurities. Allow the Holy Spirit to deeply CONVICT. Pray for a lasting inner transformation that bears fruits so evident that pre-believers who are watching us will themselves be convicted to turn to God!

*Idolatries - Where we've not loved the Lord our God above all else. Where we're merely goin thru the motions, mouthing praise but our hearts are far from God. Where we've bowed down to the golden calf of materialism, the gods of self, and selfish ambition, worldly success and status.

Independence - Where we've been arrogant and carnal, superficial and shallow. Where we've relied on our own strength, intellect, resources, reputation or experience more than on the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Where we've not loved the Body of Christ. Where we've preferred to act alone or apart from the Body.

Impurities - Where we've turned off pre-believers by our shameful misconduct. Where we've dishonoured God in our thoughts and deeds: boastfulness, jealousy, competition and strife; fault-finding, malice and slander; cheating, lying, coarse jesting, speaking half-truths; lust, adultery, fornication and pornography.

Sounds familiar?
honestly,
we are never perfect
But with God, we are made whole
we can be perfect if we allow ourselves to be.

E365,
check your hearts today..
if there's something that u think u should change,
pray and seek God for His assistance
remember,
that only with God, All things are possible.

Start today.
Put God first.
n the rest will follow suit.
No God no u

God really reaally adores u.

Ministry

Acts 6:2-4
So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.

having a ministry in the church is a very important aspect in our Christian walk.
it's where we're discipled, moulded and taught to serve.

to join a ministry is choice that's easy to make.
to join a ministry of your interest is also another easy choice to make.
however, the choice to grow in the ministry is on a different level.

to some people, the context of a ministry is similar to that of a CCA,
something you have to join when you're in school.
to them, a ministry is something they have to join when they're in the church.

to another group of people, their ministry is a form of fun and entertainment.
in a creative ministry, they'll come for practices only when a particular event is coming up.
they'll disappear in regular practices.
in a serving ministry, they'll serve in the service but not come early to do the preparation or stay behind after the service to clean up the Church.

well,
my ministry in not my destiny.

BUT,
your ministry is tied to your destiny.

if God cannot trust you in the ministry you're placed in,
He cannot trust you with the destiny He has for you.

to me,
the only way to my fulfill my destiny is through my ministry.
if my ministry is not doing well, i cannot go ahead to fulfill my destiny.

to a certain someone:
the cell group is also a ministry,
don't neglect the cell group.

Think Deep

Yesterday during cell group, God spoke to me about building Him a house..
a house that is not built by hands, but will last for eternity.
2 Cor 5:1
Eternity is forever.
the house that God spoke to me of was the cell group.
that was the house that He wanted me to build now...
at that time,
my heart stopped.
i thought about the challenges i had to face.
the difficulties that i had to go agst..
i thought about the days of fasting,
the times of prayings..
and honestly,
it got a lil overwhelming till a point i was already tearin..
i know i can not short change God and i dun want to..
when it came to E365's very own,
i needed to give God the best that all of us can offer..
no limitations.
Only excellence.
This House of God had to be built on not only michelle's visions and revelations..
but also on all of ur revelations.
it had to have u in it.
this Word is not exclusive but certainly inclusive of every single one of u..

so let's be the best servants of Jesus we can be.
let's not be people who talk the talk
but ppl who walk the walk..
let's get involved and do wat God has called us to do.
let's not stay where we're at.
let's Grow to the next level.
and only with that,
comes greater measure of wisdom,
stature..
with not only God
but also man.

Think deeper lovelies,
think harder saints.
God has not called u to be where u are at.
Start moving.
and get involved.

"Sacrifice," the Captain said. "You made one. I made one. We all make them. But you were angry over yours. You kept thinking about what you lost.

"You didn't get it. Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices. A mother works so her son can go to school. A daughter moves home to take care of her sick father.

"A man goes to war...."

He stopped for a moment and looked off into the cloudy gray sky.

"Rabozzo didn't die for nothing, you know. He sacrificed for his country, and his family knew it, and his kid brother went on to be a good soldier and a great man because he was inspired by it.

"I didn't die for nothing either. That night, we might have all driven over that land mine. Then four of us would have been gone.

"Eddie shook his head. "But you..." He lowered his voice. "You lost your life."

The Captain smacked his tongue on his teeth.

"That's the thing. Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else."

Fiery Start.

I started to read LoveSingapore's lil journal thinggie which deepy inspired me.
i pray that it touch ur hearts and give u a new meaning to live for your King.

In Acts 2:1-4,
the day of Pentecost came and all together, the disciples were washed and touched and definitely affected by the power n presence of God-The Holy Spirit, and as all of u know, they spoke in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them to.

the disciples came together and sought after the presence of God.
it's not bout God seekin them but they were obedient, untied and persevering in spirit and in purpose. they opened their hearts to receive from the Lord.
did they know that God will touch them in such a powerful way?
Well, yes n no actualli.
Yes cos they had faith to believe in God for that.
N no cos they have never experienced it before
but they did not stop themselves from seekin, yearning and thirsting.
The Word says that onli those who THIRST for His righteousness will be filled.

r u still thirsting for Him today?

the presence and manifestations of the Holy Spirit is not a mere act to prove God's anointing and power.
it is deeper than that,
to me, the Holy Spirit is my fren.
He guides me, aids me, helps me and anoints me not to do just the things of the Kingdom, but more to cope with the things in the natural as well.

start having a relationship with the Holy Spirit today.
don't let doubts and fears deprive u of such an amazing experience!
dun let preconceived ideas limit ur faith concerning things that God wants to show u and do with u!
Expect the unexpected!!
just a sudden touch from heaven changes everything.

The Fire of The Holy Spirit brings POWER. Never mind the noise - let us apply this power to get on the move. Thunder is justified after lightning has struck. The proper purpose of Pentecost is to get the wheels rolling for God in every church/Cell group, thereby transporting the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

think about it.
think harder
reach deeper.
The power, presence of the Him is not exclusive.
it is for every single believer whether u want it or not.

Now that you're a part of this cg,
what do u think u are able to do to bring in the presence of God?
firstly.
it is never about God seekin us.

have u done anything for God today?
have u done anything with The Holy Spirit today?
are u ready to walk in God's calling and purpose.
remember lovelies, God is not only your provider.
He is ur father.
u got to have a relationship with Him.
if it's gonna cost u everything.
than well, think about it,
love is not love without a sacrifice, ain't it?

same thing with the Holy Spirit.
start communing with Him today.

A Cell group on fire draws fire.

it is only gonna get greater n greater.

------ . seek TILL he comes}

hosea 10:12-- ...seek the lord TILL he come and rain righteousness upon you.

key word--TILL

often we seek the lord but we give up on our prayers too easily and too soon.. TILL refers to the persistency of prayer..we have to seek till he answers!!!there is power in persistence prayer!!! do not give up before the answer comes... perservere... pray until something happens..

it may not happen instantly but god knows his timing and his timing is always best.. so trust in him, continue praying and you will find.. seek and you shall find...

in the end times, persecution is bound to be present...

matthew 24:7-9----
7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

you have been warned... but will you continue to seek the lord till he comes? or will you deny him? many of the great apostles and great leaders faced much persecution..peter was crucified upside down in rome, paul was beheaded, mark was dragged around the streets till he died.. and many more.. but they stayed strong.. they persevered till the end.. we cannot ignore jesus call to take up the cross... we must be strong deciples.. for it is said in verse 13---

13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved

many of us may be facing percutions now... but will you take up the cross? will you seek the lord till he comes? =))

Cell Group

Jn 13:5
"After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded."

an act,
so humbly served to the twelve disciples
by our Lord Jesus Christ,
exudes the true meaning of servanthood,
and love for his disciples.

an act,
so humbly served to the members of E365
by our upcoming cell group leader Bro Sinda,
exudes the true meaning of servanthood,
and love for his members.

an act,
so unexpected,
yet so filled with love.

so great a love
that cannot be replaced by anything of the world.

Holy is the Lord.
