(= just came back from Street E (outreach) uncle ben and auntie grace gave me a lift home..today was a fruitful night. one of the times where i felt a burden for the lost. just to sit back and look at the people walking by really keeps me sighing. just how many of them are christians? how many of them know the gospel? haiz.. it's just so sad..if i could spend my whole life sharing the gospel i also don't think everybody would be reached..we christians, often treat evanglism so lightly. just bcos we're going to heaven dosen't mean everybody's going to heaven you noe..there are many pple, lost souls marching into hell each day.. and are we caring? are we sparing a thought? do you noe the importance of sharing the gospel. i thank God He showed me how important it was..today.

in the past, i was sacred to share the gospel, in fact, very scared. and i still am at times. whenever there was a sermon preached on reaching out i would pretend i didn't hear anything. just bcos i didn't want to. now the importance to me is very real, i wonder how long this will last. it's not that i'm not scared, i do am scared at times. talking to strangers whom we don't noe. staring at a cold face. but cummon, what is the Holy Spirit for? He is there for us to talk to. for us to depend on Him, to give us the boldness. so all we have to do is to ask in faith, not wavering.

so how long will we remain as cowards? christians who can't be borthed to share their faith? let's step out in faith and start winning souls to Christ. listen, can't you hear? People crying everywhere..groping in the darkness with a load of care..

Listen To The People

Listen to the people, crying everywhere.
Groping in the darkness with a load of care.
Listen to the hopeless, living in despair.
Is there none to help them and the gospel share?

Chorus
O Thou Holy Father listen to my prayer.
Heal this selfish servant from my worldy care.
Help me spread the message that the world may see
Jesus love in me, now to every creature a proclaimer be.

Thank You for Thy Spirit, working in my heart.
I see my transgression, cleanse thou every part.
Where i've been so blinded by my vanity,
grant me heavenly vision, to win the lost to Thee.

*Chorus*

Dear Christians, wake up! Let's go onward, pushing back the gates of hell.

P.S. Hope i wasn't too harsh or anything..i am just really argh.. dunno how to sae..it's inside me. sometimes i feel i just wanna stand on the top of a building, catch everybody's attention, stop them from what they are doing and tell them the good news..argh.. how i wish that that dae would come. but it would not. i noe.

Through The Storms

I did not know His love before,
the way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
my pride would not allow.
I had it all, without a care,
the "Self-sufficient" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark,
the storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
my anchor would not hold.

The ship that I had built myself
was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare,
with nowhere else to hide.
I had no strength or faith to face
the trials that lay ahead,
And so I simply prayed to Him
and bowed my weary head.

His loving arms enveloped me,
and then He helped me stand.
He said, "You still must face this storm,
but I will hold your hand."
So through the dark and lonely night
He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day
or when the storm might wane.

Yet through the aches and endless tears,
my faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time,
but my light began to glow.
I saw God's love in brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone
could Jesus' love shine through.

It was not easy in the storm,
I sometimes wondered, "Why?"
At times I thought, "I can't go on."
I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.
But Jesus never left my side,
He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife,
through fire and flood,
He helped me all the way.

And now I see as never before
how great His love can be.
How in my weakness He is strong,
how Jesus cares for me!
He worked it all out for my good,
although the way was rough.
He only sent what I could bear,
and then He cried, "Enough!"

He raised His hand and said, "Be still!"
He made the storm clouds cease.
He opened up the gates of joy
and flooded me with peace.
I saw His face now clearer still,
I felt His presence strong,
I found anew His faithfulness,
He never did me wrong.

Now I know more storms will come,
but only for my good,
For pain and tears have helped
me grow as naught else ever could.
I still have so much more to learn
as Jesus works in me;
If in the storm I'll love Him more,
that's where I want to be!

found this poem here: http://www.apibs.org/poem/pp39.htm and thought it was really something close to my heart. i've been in the same situation too, and will always be.

I will do God's will no mater what, even if it's against my own will-bcos it's not i but Christ.


Gotta make this post fast cos my bro friends are here to stay over nite for dunno how many days and they will be hogging the com. so better use when i can.. haha.

Lord, help me to get right with You.

i really gotta make it a quick one since it's late. I came back from the Sports School briefing thing. Pls pray that i will be obedient to God's will. I have to make lots of sacrifices, but i guess, nothing is better then doing God's will. I'm in a struggle. Wanna go, yet don't want to go. They already have a training timetable all planned out ready for us. I'll be training every Mon, Wed and Fri from around now till end of Dec. Hiong ar! Goanna miss alot of teenz activities liketat, i guess..

now got so much time to post and i don't really noe what to post about..haha erm.. life has ups and downs and now is not really one that i'm up.. but i recall Oswald Chambers a great man of God saying "..but it is in the valley that we live for the glory of God. We see His glory on the mount, but we never live for His glory there." and how true it really is in my life.. sometimes i just have to sit back and let God take control.. one of my favourite veres..Philippians 4:11 "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." may it be true with all of us that though life is not always on the high, learn to be content..for all things work together for good. and it rreally does.. looking back at the times where i was real down, it was the time in which God was bringing me closer to Himself.. where i was getting to know Him better.

today was an average day, no school.. then i slept alot.. guess i was very idle..every heard the saying, an idle mind is the devil's workshop?.. i doubted God.. but thank God i happen to chance upon.. it issn't chance upon..it WAS God's will for me to listen to a sermon entitled pressing on in hard times.. it's really a blessing..

Saturday, October 9

yahoo! exams over. i'm happy haha but yet so much time also don't know what to do with it. Better put it to good use for the glory of God. This post will really be a special one, cos it's right from the bottom of my heart. know it's late and should be going to sleep soon. after this post. So much things on my heart so i'll start one by one..

Temtation
It is in this age that i really realise what it is to be tempted, what it is to die to self. and i reckon that as i grow older, there will be more tempations that i will have to face. Right now, i'm facing the temptaion of music. My friends are all listing to worldly music. Singing it in school. I'm sure many other teenz feel the same.. i'm really tempted.but i always tell myself that God wouldn't be please with me if i listen to that kind of music. I would just be greaving the Holy Spirit in me. so there's the point where i have to die to self. It's really not easy. not easy. Sometimes i give in, i know i greave the Holy Spirit living in me. sometimes i die to self..

i'm too facing the point where i'm tempted to want and lust after wordly desires. For what? just to be accecpted by my friends. We may lust and chase after wordly desires our whole life..but i realise that in the end, we don't get anything. It's just a waste of time. That time could be used for God.and it will have an eternal benifit.May God help me not to be a man pleser but to seek to please God and Him alone.

a time for self seeking..

Where is the Gideon?
this is a day where idols are worshipped-idols do not need to mean statures or images..it could be studies, computer games, tv and others. Today, who is YOUR God?
even God's people are trapped in their snares-there are many snares in the world today..
good man have fallen, standards have shaken-where are the good man? what are our standards?-do we let the world's standard's take over?
where is the answer, who even cares?-who cares? does anybody care about this lost and dying world?

Where is the gideon? where is the man?
who'll be a leader ad follow God's plan,
where is God's champion?who'll be the one,
to stand like gideon. I'll be that man.-i'll be that one. Will you?
