Recent happenings (Warning Long post very wordy :P lols )

This week was really blessed, I’ve been able to learn more about myself and thank God that I was able to bless others in the process as well :)

Monday

Mon was okay for me as I was able to catch up with my class quickly. I missed last week’s lessons so had to really get in touch with what I missed :)

Though it seems I lost memory of this day hahas. Think I went to have lunch with my sis and watched a movie.

Tuesday

Arh Tues was movie day again, went to watch this movie “Dance of the sparrows” which really has content man! Most of the movies that I watch does not have any morale, with not many things to learn or it’s too shallow. So it’s really a nice change of genre :)

Wednesday

Wednesday was one of the miraculous days that reminds me of

Matthew 6 (New International Version)

1So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

I woke up very late and was going to miss my lessons so I took some time to pray. Went off on my journey, when I arrived was SURPRISED to see that I was in fact one of the earliest to arrive for there were only 5 people in the whole class of 15. After the class went for break then another class, approached a vending machine and found the vending machine uncle was kinda familiar so wen to chat with him and he offered me a drink FOC! LOLs! Then I remembered that I was meeting Huanyan later in the night. So was thinking if whether I should skip class or choose to reach a bit later for the dinner. The amazing thing was my teacher announced that there will be an early release today :) I was like WOW Thanks God!

Went to meet Huanyan for tea and I really enjoyed McDonald’s Himalayan Tea Latte :P Remembered Justin brought me to some food court but forgotten about the place so went “trekking” with Huanyan, walked from Doby Ghaught to Bugis to Tekka Food court! Thats like 3 km man!!! Nah haha maybe a bit shorter hahas I meant FEELS like 3 km!

Somehow even though we went the wrong way, God was able to make it right :) The food was awesome and cheap 4 bucks for a super big portion of Nasi Bryani! The Teh ice was kinda nice too :) I just get addicted to ice Teh nowadays man! Was joking with HY sometime back :’Hey bro do you know why you haven’t found a job yet, cuz God wants you to help me with my math exam then after it you will find your job :) ” The amazing thing was after my exam HY got the job the following week, then I was like WOW………! I meant it as a joke but it came to be true LOLS!

Thursday

Thursday was kinda sucky for me, remembered I shared that there was a stalker in my class. What happened was this stalker used the name of another student to criticize and insulted some people in my class. Then the student whose name was being used went to bash up the stalker but was stopped. So there was a commotion in my class, but somehow I felt relieved which I analyze and felt it’s not that right. I think my wrong is that I felt happy when the teachers came and investigated the situation and the stalker was kinda “exposed”, I disliked the guy cuz he went on to harass my family, friends and other classmate. There was so much dislike in me that I am kinda like a magnet, that is if the stalker is in “North” then I will be “South”.

Then I thought of this verse

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

23“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents[g] was brought to him. 25Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

26“The servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

28“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii.[h] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

29“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’

30“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

32“Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

35“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

I really believe God wants me to know that He has forgive me so I should have compassion and mercy on others. Even through having mercy and compassion but I must also exercise wisdom too, I always like to draw from this verse, Matthew 10:16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”. That I should be “Nice but Wise:) Cuz the guy is basically stalking most peps in the class, their girl friends and family! I thank God I know what to do now! To forgive and guard!

Then as I went home I kinda did stuff that was thinking, what was the reason that I sinned against the Lord at times ?  A picture flashed in my mind showing a child that does ridiculous things to get the attention of the parents

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF3grZ-t1i8

I somehow got a revelation that GOD wants me to trust in Him, to build a relationship and not always depend on the things you see.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (New International Version)

7We live by faith, not by sight.

So my problem is that I trust too much on “reality” on the things I can grasp on, and in so I know what to do again :)

I thank You Father for showing me on what to work on, and when I see the mirror through Your word I will be able to change into a more Christ like and effective Christian :)

Friday

I was feeling kinda disappointed and depressed as I had sinned against the Lord during Thursday with the decisions I made. Then as I prayed God placed some bible verses in my heart.

John 4 (New International Version)

23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.

Then went to school and suddenly felt like meeting Bro Weikai in NUS for lunch. So finished my tutorials, handed it up to teacher and went home. Bathed and chionged down to NUS, wow absence really makes the heart fonder! I DON’T mean it in a “Gayish” way hahas, I meant it as how Apostle Paul meant when he wrote letters and the Epistles to many churches that he went to minister in when he was younger. Had an awesome time and chat with Bro Weikai, one thing I’m impressed is that he is willing to lead in giving thanks (as we were having ginseng chicken and food stuff) and he thanked not only God but was willing to bless his parents! I am really awed by how God can mature a brother this quickly that not only he has hope now but also peace together with blessings.

NOW the amazing part comes, went down to HQ then Matthias together with bro Minghan was following up with Weikai and basically it’s teaching younger bro/sis more about God! So as they were sharing they said they wanna draw from John 4, I was like WOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Isn’t that what God place in my heart in the morning? WOW!

I thank GOD that I was able to support the bros in this sharing :) The emphasis to me was in John 4:23-24 but for the other bros it was another :) which is kinda nice!

To analyze this verse we need to ask ourselves, True worshipers worship the Father in spirit and truth. So what’s spirit and truth?

I went do do some translating and found the word spirit in Hebrew is “Nepesh” which means life! To worship GOD with our lives! To use our lives as a canvas, God being the painter and to paint out His love and blessings to others through your own :)

Truth? Jesus said in John

John 14:6 (New International Version)

6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Which means to worship God in Jesus!!! Let me use an analogy :) For example your heading to a mrt station, let’s say Orchard. So what you do is you take the train and being “inside” the train you head to that “direction” that it goes which is Orchard. So similarly to be “inside” Jesus, doing what He does, blessing people, healing and most importantly to bring salvation to the world! Being conformed to Jesus but not to the world but be transformed in Jesus Christ Hallelujah!

Romans 12:2 (New International Version)

2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Then went off for CG and I really thank God that I can just share my struggles and learn from all of these Sis and Bros. I really thank God for all the people He placed in my life, no matter good or bad, God seems to be able to refine and shape me through everyone I encounter!

Saturday

Saturday :) I know God has forgiven me, there was a verse being placed in me and I was reminded of.

1 John 1:9 (New International Version)

9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Went to meet bro Weikai and Hy for lunch and headed off for service. As my CG was in charge of helping out in Holy Com, I really thank God that I was able to help in the packing and placement of cups hehes! The service started and Bro Timothy shared about 1John1:9, which kinda affirmed me that God has forgiven all unrighteousness from me.

I really enjoyed the service and went on to stay with the Sis and Bros till 3.3am WAHS!!! lols!

Sunday

Today I’m gonna meet some of my friends in Christ for dinner :)

God bless!
