lifesong
Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

let's start with saturday's discipleship class! hahaha.
i asked Ivan before he went to army about the foundations of being a great cgl, but Charleston answered my question instead. ahahha. Charleston told me that a great cgl should:
- emotionally stable
- have favour with people
- have flow/chemistry (very important)
- character
emotionally stable, we must be prepared for problems to come! with great power comes great responsibility. that's very true! whatever we face, we have to pick ourselves up! we cannot always depend on our leaders to push us on, check if we are okay. we really have to move to a whole new level of stability in my emotions! be dependent on God and not other people, or even your own successes! :)
favour with people. very obvious isn't it! how to lead your sheep with they curse you eat fish ball choke, walk on the road kena bang, walking step on banana skin. -.- we really have to grow favour with men! how to lead when people hate us? we must have a likable character! people need to love hanging out with us! :)
flow/chemistry. what Wayne always says, "whoa you no flow ah" ahhah! yea, it's really true! no flow no link no efficiency. :) we really have to flow with our leaders, let their visions be our visions, hang around them, know what they like and whatnot. we need to have open hearts towards our leaders, and great relationships. will our leader think of hanging out with us when they have a free day? do they enjoy spending time with us? this is not a question about insecurity, but really, it's about flow and chemistry. we mustn't draw people to ourselves! i mean like... why make them love you more than they love Pastor's the first leadership and ultimately God? yea lor.
and lastly, character. integrity, perseverance, convictions, and basically the 7 pillars of HOGC. will we do our QTs faithfull everyday even if we don't feel like it? even if we are super tired? will we not be stagnant in our spirit, but rather grow in God and lead people by revelations? do we love to evangelise and love people? do we smoke our leaders? or do we tell the truth? these are all character issues. really. build our character strong man! :)
moving on to Zone F service! :) it's always to power packed with Pastor Lia's preaching. i'm already looking forward to next week's service! :)
faith makes us able, and not, being able gives us faith. faith brings about abilities, abilities do not bring about faith! besides, we should also live our lives expecting miracles, expecting the presence of God to touch us. be EXPECTANT!!!
though faith enlarges us, fear shrinks us! do not react the natural way, but react supernaturally when you face a problem! pray about it, seek God! faith is EXCITING! :) Zone F's service totally just went up a whole new level. we are ready for the harvest of 180, then 200! the atmosphere really changed yesterday. everyone was just so simply engaged. nothing beats seeing your zone growing stronger by the week, days and even hours. it's so awesome! coming to past, whatever we have been praying for! not only a breakthrough in atmosphere, but a breakthrough in attendance! the last 10 minutes of the service was mind blowing. we were praying as loud as the youth service! that was totally ready for 180 people. why should it only be at the end of the service that we have such strong atmosphere? it must start and end with a BANG!:) now, the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few! even as we grow, i pray for more leaders to rise up! :) catch the heart behind this man!!! :)
after service, we went to t3 as a zone to have some serious fun! food was great, fellowship was awesome! then after all that, we decided to go to the viewing gallery. but suddenly, chunkit and i got lost LOL. so we found Lynette and Joanne! we decided to colour some stuff at the airport, but in the end, the 4 of us started making paper aeroplanes! AHHAH! it was super funny! and we flew our planes. man Joanne's plane sure can fly! ahhaha. it was totally funny!
heart to heart session with Dom up next!
Dom shared a really powerful sermon! it talks about pressing towards our dreams, goals and visions, but at the same time, be unsatisfied with what we have. we are built to hunger for me. ever at bak chok mee and still crave for macdonalds? yea, that's the point! while being unsatisfied draws us to our dreams, just a fine line across, discontentment brings us away from our dreams. contentment = peacefully happy. the best person = contented, but unsatisfied. contentment is about being secured in who we are and be happy, and not jealous. unsatisfied is about pushing for more in a godly manner.
1 Timothy 6:6
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.really powerful verse. this verse is revelation to Ivan and Dom. it is revelation to me also. we are all godly people, we love God, give God our all, but are we contented? that's the question to ask. keep the fine line of unsatisfied and contentment! :)
sunday!
ops meeting like 830 in the morning. -.- ahha i slept like for 6 hours 15 mins. ahahha! for us as ministry people, we really need to be carriers of God's presence. we are like Obed-Edom! gotta be strong physically and spiritually man! :) we need to be God dependent and not self-sufficient! sometimes we wonder why are we doing the mundane, week in week out the same stuff each time! it's because we don't live by revelations. we need first-hand revelations, not revelations of our leaders, and Pastors. although it's good to have all these, but ultimately these are only guidelines! we need revelation straight piping hot from God! also, we need to maintain and stay consistent! :) flow with God, Pastors and leaders! ops meeting was great! :)
sunday service with Pastor Lia! :)
spirits make man.
spirits make us the way we are. we need to have a strong spirit! everyone rises and falls to the level of the stature of their spirit! it's not about what you have, it's about who you are! titles do not make a man, a man makes a title. but what is in that man? a stong spirit! :)
this is what i call a fruitful week! :)
goodnight all! :)
