He is Mighty to save
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

YEAP i'm back, well lately it's been funny cos i've been praying abt purpose in life
asking God what's His plans for me in every area of it. EVERY AREA YEAP cos if He is not the LORD of ALL, He is not LORD at ALL!
so this morning went to 832 our 1st service for church with michelle cos we are suppose to visit the bubble tea cell. BUT the important thing i would like to mention is the service when the pastor Tony Chi (sound like some kung fu master) today he taught abt purpose in God.
talking abt our purpose and abt last part jeremiah 29:11-13
lately was learning abt how obedience to God is more important than any sacrifices we made and more important than anything that we do for Him too...and today it hit me, jer 29:11 speaks of God's promises and purpose for us, to know it verse 12-13 speaks of seeking, praying and searching for Him, and with ALL OUR HEART. ALL = ALL not partial or some... and in order for our purpose to be fulfilled
it requires OBEDIENCE. cos sometimes we can hear from wat God has to say and yet not doing it. like the speaker illustrate, if a fisherman who does not catch any fish, is he still called a fisherman.
AND IF u are a CHRISTIAN and u have never evangelise or reach one soul for the kingdom of God are u still called a CHRISTIAN??? WOAHHHH....
lastly few days ago met a friend for dinner and she mention something like this "EVEN the stars are praising God and reflecting His glory simply by doing what they are supposed to do. So all we need to do is...just do what we are supposed to do and we'll be reflecting His glory. There's no need for doing spectacular, out-of-the-way things. He desires obedience, more than sacrifice. "
Oops mentioned in 2 blogs ago hahaha...!
YUP anyway if u notice, it's all abt OBEDIENCE to GOD.
LORD help me to learn to hear and obey too!
Amen

*This is taken from a sharing from Pastor Benny Ho*
Left-Hand Swordsman
A mentor of mine once told me this Chinese Kung-Fu parable about a Master Swordsman who was so skilled in the martial arts that he rise up the ranks of the martial arts world and become the Chief Master Swordsman.
Then in typical Chinese Kung Fu style, an evil swordsman turned up one day to challenge all the swordsmen to a duel. He defeated them one by one until only the Chief Master Swordsman was left.
In typical Chinese Kung Fu style, they met up on the mountain and had the final duel. The evil swordsman was so good that he inflicted a mortal wound to the Master Swordsman.
In typical Chinese Kung Fu style, before the Master Swordsman died, he instructed his son to take revenge for him and restore honor back to their family. He told his son to go up to a certain mountain to look for his retired uncle who will be able to impart to him the skills necessary to defeat the Evil Swordsman.
And so the son did. He went all the way up the mountain and finally located the uncle. But the uncle had already left the martial arts world and wanted nothing more to do with the affairs of this world.
Then in typical Chinese Kung Fu style,the son knelt outside the uncle’s house for days waiting for the uncle to help him. He refused.
Then came the typical stormy night and as the uncle watched that young man kneeling in the rain, he softened and finally let him into the house.
He told the young man, I have retired from all these but I will only help you on one condition. The condition is this: “You just trust me completely and do everything I tell you to do.” The nephew agreed.
Then the old man threw him a sword and they sparred. Then in the midst of their sparring, the uncle unexpectedly chopped off the nephew’s right hand!
The young man was shocked. He started screaming! What have you done? You have chopped off my right hand. All the hopes I ever had of taking revenge is now gone! What have you done!
The uncle turned to him and said: “I thought you agreed to trust me completely? And you will do everything I tell you to do?” That was when the uncle took out a manual on “Left Hand Swords Play”.
For the next two years, the young man learnt how to fight with his left hand. The day came when he had mastered the skills. Then in typical Chinese Kung Fu style, the young man came downhill and he went in search of the Evil Swordsman.
They finally met again ion the same hill. They fought and the young left-handed swordsman finally defeated the Evil Swordsman and regained the kingdom for his family.
That was when he understood what the uncle was doing. The Evil Swordsman had mastered the art of defeating all right-handed swordsman but he had no answer to someone who fights with the left hand. That was why he was defeated.
What is the moral of the story? - I am sure that there are many lessons you can draw from here. The main one I want to share with you is this:
There are times when we need to come out of our comfort zone – the right handed stuff and begin to do the left handed stuff that often is what we need to do damage to the kingdom of darkness.
For many of us, living by the power of the soul is a right-handed thing that we have been used to all of our lives. It is time for us to lay down our right hand and give God our left-hand that He may train us to walk in the power of the Spirit.
But I believe that God is calling together a company of Left Handed Swordsman for this season to do great exploits in the Spirit.
Question: Are you willing to give God your Left Hand today?
HAHA i'm an LEFT HANDER! hahaha

Well today had a dinner treat from my friend emily phoon at sake sushi and when MOS for a drink to catch up with each other, i mean MOS burger haha had ice milk tea there. THANKS for the TREAT hahaha!
anywhere we were sharing to each other on our baptism experience and boy i tot mine was DRAMATIC enough till i heard hers...
aiyo i really thank GOD that i
didn't went
thru that. I guess it was a faith building moment for her during those years and it's these kind of things that would draw us closer to God and have our dependency on Him. Was told by another church friends last
night that
"thru tough times we grow tougher!"There was one part where
emily mentioned something that strikes me after she share and i would like to share it with all of you. She just roughly mentioned that
"if the stars and the moon or the sun was made for the purpose to shine and reflect light. They simply did it and even just a simple job, they did it well..."Don't you think we should fulfill our
PURPOSE and do it well too!
EVEN THE STARS REFLECT THE GLORY OF GOD
even
thru the simplest form by shining,
what more, we odd to do so,
GOD EVEN NAME EACH STARS BY NAME,
YET ALSO KNOWS EVERY SINGLE STRAND OF HAIR ON OUR HEAD
what more... what more...
O Lord i ask that You to have Your way in me and show me Your PURPOSE for mereveal the secrets of YOUR heart,i want to hear from You, for i have cried out many times,yet have not heard, open my ears, heart and eyes so that i can know,let me hear from YOU O LORD the answers of my prayers,do not let Your children wait in vain.And Wherever my feet sets on LORDlike a Shepherd, with Your rod You protect me,and with Your staff guide my path,that i might delight in you not with only sacrifice,but also a obedient, broken and contrite heart You will receive LORD!AmenThis song is the rough illustration of what we odd to be...
I Adore - Hillsongs
The universe is at Your feet,
Gives You praise, evermore,
The stars will light the sky for You,
And always, God be praised.
And we sing, the Lord is on high, the Lord is on high.
I adore You, I adore You,
And there's none that compares to Your majesty, O Lord.
I adore You, I adore You,
And I stand, in the wonder of Your love.
We will crown Him, King forever;
Living Saviour, Jesus Redeemer,
Lord of Heaven, robed in majesty,
Crowned in glory, creation adores You!

Hi peeeepsss i'm back
well just a short food for thot that came up to my mind suddenly when i was msning with a church friend and talking abt the book of philipians and decide to take a short time reading the 1st and 2nd chapters
Philipians 2:5-11
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
many times we try to reach out to friends around us but seems like it's in vain but now maybe we as we called ourselves "Christians" (to be Christ like) odd to follow the same example that Christ did for us that we would be able to bring Christ that is so real to pple if we live our lives as one.
-Humility
-Obedience
-Taking up our cross
so that God may be glorified thru our actions and life that pple would know and believe in Him
"You might be the only bible, ur friends or others read!" - unknown
God bless!

As the deer pants for streams of water
so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
oh God let me be like the thirsty deer that pants for You.
Let me be Addicted!
amen
