The Transition

aloha~~~ it have been quite awhile i didn update the blog sry for that hahaha. As we know that recently we were busying doing our reach out and all of us were keep on "chiong chiong chiong" for the Lord. However, i believe even though we "chiong" there might have some problem inside every one of us that we didn share out. Besides,i also believe some of us felt uneasy throughout the transition that our cg have been form into a new structure. So i think i got few point that i would like to share which is:

1. Doubt

As we know that most of us have been separated into different group and we found out that there are some difficulties for us to survive in another new environment due to new structure. So our mind might POP up the problem so called "doubt" which will decrease our faith. We shouldnt dout God as the books below said:

• Matthew 14:13 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"


• John 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

Basically doubt can be healthy or disturctive, depending on how we use it. Use ur doubts to learn about God and make ur faith stronger this is beacuse God every said that in:

• Hebrews 13:5 "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

2. Blame

Other than that, as we know that when there is doubt occured, the following problem will be blame. We will blame this blame that and as we know that we are sinners and its hardly for us to blameless but are we free of responsibily?? Lets look at:

• Philipian 2:15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.

Our responsibility is to live by Christ example. We are to keep our heart and mind pure. Imperfection is no excuses for perversion. So we must continue trust in God because:

• 1 thessalonians 3:13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

3. Challenges

God also ever tell us that our chirstian live will be wavy because God will always give us challenge or test and as we know that man hate chellenges because the purpose of God for that is to strengthen our faith and help us to walk further in God's path.

• 1 Chronicles 28:20 David also said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.


• Proverbs 15:31-32 He who listens to a life-giving rebuke will be at home among the wise. He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.

I think I have to end here ahahha, i hope this few points can truely encourage u all an increase u all faith in order to help u all to "Chiong" further. We christian must be an overcomer and not a failure so continue trust in God because the purpose He gave us will always be the greatest one.

Who's The Reason?

Although Small As Mustard, But It's Still A Seed

          Halo everyone... I recovered the video below, from the church's pc... It reminds me of the continuous sermon that Pastor had been preaching tis 2 wks-Faith in God... I was being reminded of the size of faith doesn't matter, but wut really matters is the object of that faith... Therefore, I should ask tis question to myself and to everyone: "Where do I put my faith in?", not "How much faith do I have in God". I was really thankful tat it's not my place to focus on how much my faith is to God, because I always think tat it's impossible to make it tangible... However, asking yourself weder you're having faith in God or not is different. Tat one you can evaluate yourself and it's really tangible, for the final answer hv no calculation at all.  It's juz a simple "Yes" or "No"...

          In Matthew 13:31-32, Jesus said that mustard seed is the smallest seed of all but when it grows, it will grow into the largest tree of all... If we focus on the size of a mustard seed, we think that it's too little, then, we'll think tat it's impossible for it to grow large... But if we focus on the purpose of the mustard seed, we think that it is possible, it will grow, because it's a seed, it's purpose is to grow into a tree... Therefore, the same goes to us... If we focus on the resources, abilities and strength that we have, we think tat it's impossible for us to move even further because we can clearly see wut is our limitations... But if we focus on our purpose here on earth, which is stated in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, that we'll go and make disciples of ALL nations, we know that we CAN, because that's our purpose! So let's have faith in God and the Word of God, that tells us that we CAN, to grow ourselves and the care group together o(>o<)o         

           Linking back to the video, hehe... I saw just a few ppl in the choir, yet, they were able to make the parts to be heard so clearly, with such a good coordination, and the power of God that fills the place when they were performing on stage... I believe, tat it's not the matter of how many ppl they should have in the choir, but where they put their believe upon... They believe in God, altho the number is few, but juz by believing in God, even with juz 9 persons, they can make a difference...

~Evaluation~

Basically this topic is I taken from bulletin on 29th June 2008 & is written by Ps Denis Lu and the Pastoral Team. I believe every time most of us didn't really seriously read through the bulletin after we got it hiak hiak repent repent its time for u to repent!!!! Ok back to my topic, this topic is talking about the "Evaluation", as we know that currently we are at the half-way mark of 2008 and sometime it is good to evaluate how far we've sailed towards our overall theme of "Planting the kingdom." Basically we have various parts our tree needed to be check.


1. Check the Root!

• I'm referring to the spiritual basics that are essential for our spiritual life to be healthy and thriving. We must have a network and avenue of absorbing spiritual nutrients and living water from the soil. Roots also provide a stable foundation or underground support base for the plant to grow into a tree. So your roots healthy? Are you drawing nutrients from the Word of God and water from the spirit of God daily?

2. Check the trunk!

• The trunk is the main support structure. On a personal level, this represents the support systems that enable us to live and function effectively on a daily basis. In short, it represents everything that we do which supports our ability to achieve our overall life goals. Do you have some built in support system? Can you optimise your resources and abilities? Or is your life a tangled web of disorder? we should channel or build supports that help us achieve God's vision for our lives.

3. Check the branches!

• The branches of a tree extend outwards and upwards, spread over a wide area. When our support systems are in place and functioning, we gain the confidence and the ability of branch out or to reach out to others. To branch out and touch more lives is to grow! Perhaps it's time for you to branch out by becoming a shepherd, or a care leader! Are you branching out???

4. Check the fruits!

• Processes applied correctly will bring results. Imagine investing in a coconut plantation only to see that after all the care and effort that the trees bear no fruit! God expects our lives to bear fruit that will last! Some of the everlasting fruits are souls saved, Christ like character growth and expansion in our ministry roles and responsibilities in God's Kingdom. Let's be reminded that Jesus considered the servant who buried the one talent as unfaithful because he was not fruitful! Therefore, we are faithful to God when we are fruitful with what he has entrusted to our care.

God bless you all & may you flourish in the KINGDOM OF GOD~~

FriendSHip = Kawan Kapal

ho ho i think almost one week I've been stuck here for posting thing hahah. Ok~~~ back to topic hiak hiak hiak. Just now i have went to the KCH CG & currently this quater they were having this "WORK SHOP" to train up those young ppl. Hmmm indeed i think this is quite a good idea for us as well. OKOK~~ back to my topic, the theme for that particular CG is "Friendship". I know that this might be a common topic for us BUT hiak hiak this also can help us reflect back or recall back us in this area. So i would like to ask one question:

*What is your view regarding this what we called some sort of Friendship??? And also what is the quiterial for your friendship??
(Think of your self hahahah this is a KBKK question hahaha)

Actually there are few chapters in the Bible has shows us the meaning of friendship as well so lets look at:

1 Sam 18:1-3
1 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. 2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father's house. 3 And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.

Proverbs 18:24
24 A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 22:24-25
24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man,
do not associate with one easily angered,

25 or you may learn his ways
and get yourself ensnared.

proverbs 25:16-17

16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.

17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house—
too much of you, and he will hate you.

Proverbs 27:5-6

5 Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.

6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

10 If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

John 15:12-15

12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

Romans 12:15

12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

~As we know that friendship is just more than being friend, its a connection deep whithin the spiritual soul that is an unearned gift of love. True friendship is seen through a heart not an eye haha but we always tend to choose friend by their physical appearance haha INDEED.

* POP QUIZ TIME : How many true friend that u really can pillow talk with in your current life?

Friendship also is living things that last only as long as it is nourished with kindness, emphatic & understanding. Besides that, true friends understand being human and they will give other room to grow and a true friends are there when they are not expected to be presence as well. Other than that, they also know how cherish each other off. Friendship also brings light into your world, for it gives you the missing link to your soul.

Quizzz again =.=

* What is a friend??

* Why we need friendship??

~ A real friendship never expect anything in return of coz we dun take them as granted la. If when we are in a strange place which you don't know them in that area so what did u feel
?? So as we know that when there is a friend with us, we feel secure, happy, huge support & confortable. Friendship is a blessing, and a friend's channel through whom great emotional, spiritual & physical flow for instance friends can cheer us when we are sorrowful and depress. They also can challenge & motivate us as well.

HIGHTLIGHT

As we know that our new sem approaching and we will have some follow up as well so now i have some tips which can help every one of us.

1. Develope the real interest in people.

For example like knowing the news regarding them them & consistantly contact.

2. Taking genuines interest

For instance, impact / impart their life.

3. Learn to impart loving spirit to our people through expression

Such as speak genuinely, spend more times with them & invest time with them.

That end of this topic hahhaha BUT before it I just want to remind u guys that "there are "friends" whom destroy each other, but there is a rel friend who stick closer with us as brother" Mat 26: 49-50
