Taken from ,The Holiness of God by RC SPROUL.
Today I want to thank God for showing me more truths from this book that I've been reading. It allows me to have checkpoints in my life to evaluate where I am and how have I performed. Many times, the bible teaches us to do good to others, help others, love my neighbour as myself and etc. After reading this book, I realised that my deepest motivation about doing these things were merely just obeying rules and regulations. Like what if I never do them, will God punish me? Hmmm, there are people looking at me. If I never do them, then maybe God won't answer my prayer. I felt like I'm obliged to do it because it was in exchange for something.

Today I want to thank God for using me to impact the lives of the little ones in church. Thank God for the fruitful 2 months of exposure in GNK, it really opens my eyes to more things and also to be able to be his instrument despite being so incomplete and lacking. Thank God for the many helping hands and fav
our with people, my short service in GNK was really meaningful. Especially when those little children taught me the meaning of worshiping God and be hungry to memorise the memory verses.

Food for thought
~William A. Ward
Sunday, May 23, 2010
It's so good to be found in God's love again.
Today I want to thank God for the Holy Spirit.
Today is pentecost Sunday. 50 Days after jesus rose from His grave. Ten days after Jesus ascended into heaven, the twelve apostles, Jesus' mother and family, and many other of His disciples gathered together in Jerusalem for the Jewish harvest festival that was celebrated on the fiftieth day of Passover. While they were indoors praying, a sound like that of a rushing wind filled the house and tongues of fire descended and rested over each of their heads.
_________________________________________________
There was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Human flesh.The disciples were suddenly empowered to proclaim the gospel of the risen Christ. They went out into the streets of Jerusalem and began preaching to the crowds gathered for the festival. Not only did the disciples preach with boldness and vigor, but by a miracle of the Holy Spirit they spoke in the native languages of the people present, many who had come from all corners of the Roman Empire. This created a sensation. The apostle Peter seized the moment and addressed the crowd, preaching to them about Jesus' death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins. The result was that about three thousand converts were baptized that day. Acts 2:1-41
That happened thousand years ago. The same spirt that ressercted Jesus, that brought forth revival was the saem spirit we have in us. The power of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor SL has been preaching a series of revival messages in WRPF. Today, he gave us the definition of revival , also he went on telling us about who the Holy Spirit is and also the works of the Holy spirit in the Old testament and New testament.
Revival is returning to loving and longing for God. I always thought that revival was just more people coming to know God. But, it's more than that. It's more than God in heaven sending forth His Holy Spirit and after that start counting the new added numbers to the kingdom. God is more interested in our being than the numbers or our doing. Being is more important than the doing. And in order to return to love and long for God, it's totally impossible. Pastor sl said it is impossible to be a Christian without the Holy Spirit.
It's true. I have noticed the pattern of my own spiritual life. During my JC years, I will make it a point to pray before leaving house. I find that when I rely on the Holy Spirit for strength, whatever I do becomes more efficient and also it's always during the busiest time of my life that I rely on God more, hence seeing more growth in my spiritual walk with God. Now, I need to return to that habit, to pray before I start my day. The Holy Spirit is God. He has the same attributes of God. Therefore we need to relate to Him.
______________________________________________________
Today, before service starts, God gave me this badge picture in my mind, it's like a glowing round but white circle with an inner yellow glowing circle in it. Then it has like a dove ( represent the spirit of God) in the middle. The image was very clear, but I'm just wondering what is the image for. Interestingly, when Pastor showed his introduction slide, guess what? It was 90% the same first image I saw in my mind earlier. I swallowed my saliva and my eyes were opened wide in amazement.
" God, what are you telling me?" I asked quietly in my heart.
After the service, God answered my question. God said that He will bring about a new increase of spiritual interest and will bring me back to love and long for Him. God will revive my lukewarm soul.
I am excited for the work that God will be doing. Like today, during altar call, I experienced the power of the Holy Spirit when we call on Him. It has been a while since I experience Him in that very familiar way. When pastor prayed for us, at the moment when the manifestation of God comes, I began to let out a cry. I wept quite loudly. ( Think mary and anna heard me) I will usually withhold myself,( ya, because I'm conscious in a new environment) but when God comes, my human being just cannot stand. I just began to wept, I began to cry out for the forgiveness of God and asking that God will set me apart to live a life that is worthy of His name. I think He has been preparing me for that. For the past few weeks, God has been speaking to me. He told me to drop all the wicked things or things that will pollute my mind and return to loving Him. God also asked me to live a Holy Life. It is more than just purity but one that is specially set apart for Him.
I really that God for the Holy Spirit working in my life.

When I got in the car, he was already telling me where to go. I felt kind of rushy. He will keep repeating his instructions many times in a harsh tone, I felt intimidated by it. My second mistake was when he asked me to turn left, I turn right and of course I got a lasting earful from him. When I'm on the road , again I made a few mistakes as our judgements were different.
So I was panicking big time and at the same time, conversing with God by speaking in tongues. His long papaya face and harsh tone was really nasty. Well,it all ended fast, the whole tense driving process was about 20 minutes. Back to the school,I was asked to wait on the testee' seat.
GAWD! I tell you I was almost going to cry. So nervous . My stomach met lots of butterflies. I smsed my instructor that I m going to die this time. Then he smsed me to tell me that I pass. I didn't believe. I was really praying hard while he is computing the final results, somehow I just felt that I will screw up this time again. I don't want to come back ubi again. So dreadful! When he asked me in, his face was still as black as ever before.
Then he picked on my mistakes and reprimanded me. But, he gave me room to speak up, so of course must fend for myself right? I told him that his tone was harsh and fierce, so that's why I turn left instead of right. I think he got hearing problem as I had to repeat my words 3 times. but I fend myself after he told me that I pass. ( I think) If not, he still can change my results. LOL. So, I scored a total of 14 points. (all in circuit.) My performance on road was alright.
When down to thank my instructor, Uncle Gordon. He told me something, do you know that your tester (Ng Seh Hock) (Pss.... people beware he is a Chinese man with very small eyes and sulky face) is the most rushy and nasty tester? Most people died in his hands.
My eyes were wide in amazement, woa!! That must be God controlling my limbs man. How could I manage to pass in his hands when I couldn't even pass in Robu Bin Isnin hands ( very nice instructor). Thank God for his grace and mercy. If it's not for God I wouldn't pass my driving.
(: (: (: (: (:
Now, I kinda fear driving on expressway after watching the video.

Today I want to thank God for blessing my family with bucks. I'm glad that the God I serve and know is that God who answers prayer and has never forgotten me.
I also want to thank God for opening doors for me to serve in church. I'm dying to serve! I am sure to say that. So, God answered. Something interesting here is that God opened the worship ministry for me, as worship leader. Hmm... I can't sing for nuts. But I can sing for Jesus.

I was personally challenged by Eli. He was had a strong faith. That came about when he had a personal encounter with God, he heard a voice clearly that instructed him to do head west with the Word of God after an apocalyptic event. I admired how he internalised the word of God , so much so that he's able to recite the whole book before he rested in peace.
He taught Solara a few things, of how to give thanks, how to walk by faith and not by sight ( after saving Solara from the man-eaters) and to do to others more than for oneself ( after he had surrended the bible to Carnegie). I thought he lived out the teachings of God really well. Despite beign surrounded by contant dangers, he was unshaken.
Even when he was shot by Carnegie at the end and had to hand over the bible to him,he didn't questioned God. He was still determined to head to the west and assured that God will protect him. He had fought a good fight and kept the faith.
1) God is able to deliver us in difficult situations.
2) God always works in His own special ways.
I was really inspired to dictate the bible from memory as well. For now,I will just start with some verses.

Redeeming shattered dreams
Sermon Text: Ruth 3
3 Things that I've caught
1. God is a gracious God.
2. Jesus always meet people at the point of their need
3. It's about being the right place and the right time with God's favour.
Let me elaborate on point 3.
It was a new revelation for me when I heard this truth on Sunday by Pastor Kenny. He said, it's about being at the right place,right time with God's favour.
Having a nice academic record is good,however it does not take what it means to have a successful life. I thought it was true to a certain extent, until pastor Kenny gave some real life examples.
He pop the question, asking what are the 2 kind of qualities that is essential in a famous singer. The answer, Good Looks and Age. Think of Susan Boyle. What came to your mind immediately? Bushy brows and frumpy clothes? Look at her, she is not very good looking and not young. Remember the juxtaposition of the audience's first impression of her with the standing ovation she received during and after her performance ? So how did manage to debut her 1st album as the number one best-selling CD on charts around the globe? Definitely got to be God's favour.
Secondly, Pastor Kenny also gave example on one of our local entrepreneur, Elim Chew. She was a young punk and a rebellious teenager who consistently failed at school. After secondary education, she went to London to learn hairdressing. She also observed the street wear in London. When she got back in SG, she brought back street wear fashion as well. Hence started 77th street. If you had read last week's paper, you learn that she also took time out to coach young entrepreneurs.
With God favour, at the right time and place, you will definitely experience what God has in plan for you. That plan that was promised in Jeremiah 29: 11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,saith the LORD, thought of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end. (KJV)
For I know the plans I have for you,declares the LORD,plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and hope. (NASB)
_______________________________________________
Something that I had learn from this is not to fret over what my future will be because God has them already in place before I was born. Though I may not be iseeing what lies ahead of me and being unsure about my future plans, I know that it's more important to know what is God's will for me and to walk in it. At the same time too trust that God's ways and thinking are higher than ours.
Hope you'd be encouraged too. (:

Today, I want to thank God for reminding me this morning to continue to fix my eyes on Him. As more are piling on my plate, I get busier hence no time to spend quality time with God. Yes we all know that's human tendency. So therefore, we can continuous put the blame on it? No. We should constantly put in the effort to run the race well. I am still learning to be diligent in my walk with God. It's tough I tell you. But when we do it out of our love to God, we see that discipline becomes a delight.Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Today I want to thank God for His constant reminder about not to worry much about BGR. And it really helped me to reaffirm my stand on BGR.( the pledge I made to God after reading I kiss dating goodbye)If God wants you to be together in 4- 5 years, it doesn't matter if one of you goes to the moon. You will be back together.
This is also for those sisters/ brothers in Christ who are in the progress of finding the

Dear Cheryl Tan Qi Wei
Today, I want to thank God for Cheryl Tan Qi Wei. I got to know her in church back then. same tribe but different cell group.Though we are not very close, still I'm able to relate to her as like an elder spiritual sister.She is always a bubbly and cheerful girl who never fail to encourage or cheer me up when I feel sad or worried about my studies ( That was during A levels period). ________________________________________________After A levels, I always looked forward to see her in NTU. I was even thinking that we could work together in UNI Y when I get in. Probably reach out to people together, have NTU cell group and the list goes on. But, about one week ago, she went home with the Lord. I was sick so couldn't make it to her memorial service.
_______________________________________________________
Yesterday, pastor sl created a memorial service for those who need a closure. I went with other 6 girls, chui mei, Fion, Mary, Joey and Sharon. I was glad that I went and had a proper closure, a proper outlet for my emotions. FYI : She is at Blk Daffodil level 1 Room 11 622 . From the sharing by the others sister in Christ, I learnt that Cheryl has this very sweet spirit in her and she was blessed by God with melodious vocals. I'm really thankful to God for planting her in my life, though it's a short stint on earth, but I rejoice in the fact that we have the same citizenship to heaven!
