We've really got to thank God for everything. Last week, I was informed that Andy couldn't come for camp although he paid for it already. Of course, I panicked. But during Intercession Ministry, we prayed that God would make a way. And guess what? God saw our desperation! On saturday, Andy said that he can come. Thank God!!!
It is true, God does move when we pray!
So let's pray for those that haven't confirmed their places in camp yet.
Really want to thank my sheeps for being so encouraging to me. Just wanna take this time to affirm them :D Hey guys!!! really thank you for the card you guys wrote to me :D although it may be just a card.. but it means alot alot to me :D really thanks for understanding me so much as im taking my exams and test.. Don't worry guys!! i'll go on!! i promise to give my best after my best and shepherd you guys!!! with my best,nothing but my best!!! Just wanna God too for such wonderful sheeps that he has given to me. Although i didn't done much. You guys still gave me so much. LOVE YOU GUYS!! MUACKZ!! :D HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. 31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hey guys! i believe there are afew of you or a number of you out there are quite discourage about the recent freedom service,today's service and all.. about the converts that we're seeing... BUT!! God want to remind us in this passage that... we are more than conquerors!!! you know.. today... NEB1 coreteam.. we meet up together after Pioneer's meet and really pray... God dropped this verse into my heart.. and i believe that it is for every single one of us. that.. God is more than conquerors.. and we must be like God. We must have this attiude!! that when WE give our best to God!! we must believe that God will bless us!!
Do your best,and God will do the rest!!!
Don't be discourage people!!!
We must keep believe and trusting in God that he will make a way and bless us. Its good if we feel the holy discontentment in our hearts... Its show that we are desperate.. BUT!!! lets put our discontenment in to action!! with faith and God by our side... WHO?!!! can be against us???!!!! EVEN THE DEVIL CAN'T STOP US!!
Romans 8:39
The devil don't stand a chance!!
Jesus had conqueror the grave!! What eles can he not do?! Lets put our trust and faith in Jesus. And give our best to him!! And i believe that God will bless us in the time to come and it will be not be only of our human eyes to see. But for others to see and pass on!
Haggai 2:9
'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."

Some videos of Hope Johannesburg. God is moving in Singapore,in Hope Johannesburg,and all over the world!! The great commandment with be completed! And God will use us if we desire for God to use us! Im so moved by how the people there really love God and really want to do something for God! I also love the way the dance and praise God. Its just so sincere. I really want to love God like them. So,how are you loving God with your life? Are you really loving God with your all? 100%? or 50%? But,one things for sure. Jesus loves us 100000000000000000%!!!! Jesus loves us to the max! how are we repaying the love Jesus gave to us? Lets really love God with our all amen? And lets really love God and learn afew things from this videos :D
You know what?! GIVE GOD WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!
Guys,this video is link to the video on what you can't stand. =)
Question: 1) What's your fire storm experience? 2) Any areas you can't stand?
After watching this video, i'm again reminded, the importance of knowing our firestorm experience. Moses had one. Jesus had one. Paul had one. They all became powerful servants for God.
I know some of us may not have the firestorm experience, but we can discover the things that we can't stand at our young age. Certain cultures in our schools today.. certain unbiblical sight that just pain our hearts when we fix our eyes on them. If you have the same stirring in your heart as of Moses', that is your holy discontentment.
It doesn't just happen overnight, you need to fuel it. You need to be on the ground, in your school, be in the school culture. With that, you put on the LENSES OF GOD, and you see the culture of your school. That is when God will plant seed of discontentment in your heart.
Guys of NEB, i encouraged all of us, not to serve without understanding. We serve because we want to see changes in our schools. We evangelize because we want to see changes in our schools and because, we JUST CAN'T STAND THE CULTURE ANY LONGER.
The more we LOVE GOD, the more we LOVE his people. The more discontentment we have upon his people. Let's win our schools for Jesus.
Hello everyone! Let's always remember what we learnt in caregroup today!
Without Faith, it is impossible to please God.
Between Faith, Hope and Love, Love is the greatest of these 3.
Let's apply what we have learnt too! Let's have put our faith and love into action by bringing our friends to know God! Remember, Love God = Love Man.
Prayer (pray together with me):
"Dear Jesus, I would like to pray for 3 things today. Firstly, I would want to put my faith in you into action! I do not want to 'talk big' anymore. But I want to walk the talk. Everything that I say in prayer, I will put it into action. Secondly, I would want to pray for love and compassion in my life. Help us to see other people the way you perceive/see them. Help us to learn to love them like you do. And lastly, help us to be able to bring our friends/classmates/juniors to come to service and to know your wonderful love! We commit these 3 things into your mighty hands. In Jesus' name, Amen!"
PS: We hit 27 for caregroup today! Let's all thank God for it! Let's keep it up!

I think i'm spamming alot of christian videos. haha. but yea, i really want you guys to learn more. =D
This video is a praise and worship session in a church in Hawaii. It's led by Pastor Wayne Cordeiro, his sermons and teachings are 1 of my favourite alongside Bill Hybels.
Listen to the worship. There is none like you. A simple song with simple lyrics but it speaks volume and depth. Do reflect our journey with God regularly, because there is really none like Jesus. Even in this period of examination, do take time to talk to God and pray.
Whenever i listen to this song, I'm so refresh by God because it brings my heart amongst all the chaotic and business to the peace and love that God poured for all his children. There is no one else can touch our hearts like Jesus can. =D
Video
Guys, this is another video by Bill Hybels. I encourage you guys to take time to learn from him.
This video really refreshed me and remind me again why am i serving and for whom am i serving for?
After watching the video, please answer the question
1) Do i really know the reason why i'm serving in God's kingdom? 2) Do i give praises and honor to God when i succeed?
" In view of all the mercies God showered upon us, offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God. For this is your REASONABLE service." When we serve God, we dont give ourselves praises and honor, and we mustn't think those times when we're all on fire for God, doing God's service we start to give uplift ourselves. We can only give that God because its our reasonable service, in view of what God has already done for us. =D
Haha... my brother showed me this video.. and i think its super funny... haha... enjoy!
(CheeHwee :D)

Video#3
Guys, please take 2mins of your time to watch this video and think through the questions that i came out with. =)
What can't you stand?- Bill Hybels
1) Is there any culture back in your schools you can't stand? 2) Is there any areas in your life that you need to change so as to change the bad culture in your school?
Guys, this is key people. Understanding what you can't stand in this world will fuel us towards holy discontentment. With holy discontentment, it will further gear us towards serving God and loving his people in ways that we never knew we could. I encourage you guys to think through about the video and do some self reflection upon your life. =D
Some thoughts running through my brain when i was watching.. How can people not give their best in living their lives fully towards growing more in God?! How can people be satisfied with all the gangsterism, aimless lives, lives that only meant to pursue an endless goal, girlfriends and boyfriends. How can they not know Jesus? How can the schools that are suppose to be a missionary schools to have unbiblical culture in it?!
NO NO NO. We can't let this happen. The church MUST reach out and save the LOST. amen?
JUST FOR LAUGHS#2
I won't promise a daily dosage of funny videos, sometimes i will post some really meaningful videos if i can find them or certain videos that are good for our spiritual being ok. =D
ANYWAY..
Please send me any encouragement or affirmation either through email or on msn or sms, so that i can post on the blog for you guys! Let's practice biblical speech people! AMEN?!
Bye everyone! I'll be leaving tomorrow at 7a.m. Please take care of yourselves and behave! (especially Nigel Chia! HAHAHAHA!)
All the best for confirmation! Hope to see visitors! See you on Tuesday!
Prayer (pray together with me):
"Dear Jesus, I pray for all my brothers in NEB that they will be able to study hard together with you and they (including myself too) will be able to invite their friends for services and caregroups as these people really need a God in their lives. We don't want to outreach only when it comes to an 'outreach season'. But we want to integrate outreaching into our lives, such that it becomes a lifestyle. Bless us Lord! Thank you in advance for the great works that you are going to do in the near future. In Jesus' name, Amen!"

Hey guys!! hope CG was fun and meaningful to you guys :D Lets really give our best and study really hard for God amen?! haha.
Lets remember the points and verses!
1)Ask and we shall receive.
-Matthew 7:7-10
(Ask, Seek, Knock) 7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
-Ask! And God will give.
-Psalm 9:10
10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
1a)Ask for wisdom
-James 1:5
5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
-Proverbs 2:6
6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
-God is a God of wisdom.
1b)Ask for Strength
-Joshua 1:9
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
-Lets be strong and courageous!
-Proverbs 30:30(added verse)
30 a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
-A lion never ever retreats what it is attacking,it's powerful and friece! Lets be lion-liked amen?! That we will never give up and always finding our stength in God and attacking the devil and proclaiming that Jesus has overcome the grave and we also have victory in our lives!!!
2)Do your best,and God will do the rest!
-Proverbs 12:24 (You guys BETTER remember this verse!) haha :D
24 Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
-Lets be diligent(hardworking) and don't be lazy! Because why? We'll wanna do our best! AMEN?! :D
-Colossians 3:23-24
23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
-It is clear and simple :D
-2 Chronicles 15:7
7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
3)We can encourage others around us. :D
-Proverbs 12:25
25 An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
-Encourage one another with healthy speech! You won't want someone to inslut you right? RIGHT???? :D
LETS EXPECT MIRACLES FROM GOD AMEN?! IN OUR LIFE AND IN OUR STUDYS TOO!!
-1 Chronicles 16:11-12
11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 12 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced

Had any hair loss lately? (not leg hair, although Shipeng doesn't have any...) How about pimple outbreaks? How about massive explosive white hair growth? Or maybe you find it hard to balance between ministry and school? Are all these symptoms be the cause of exams? It might be! But we need not worry! Because we have Jesus to sail us through the storm!
As a whole group, let us remember to always pray and ask God for strength, love and wisdom for the upcoming days. Trust me, you'll need it...
Prayer (pray together with me):
"Dear Jesus, I really want to commit the group, my friends, my family and myself to your hands. As I'm going through an important period of my academic days, please grant me strength to pull through and love to show the people around me. Help me to show acts of kindness to one another and to encourage with my mouth, and not otherwise... Help me to always rely on you. Keep me strong. In Jesus' name, Amen!"
Now men of God! Go and build God's kingdom stronger!
