Don't Look Back

Hi guys and gals... this may be my last post for the year 2008. And i just wanna remind u of Pst Kong sermon that was preached last weekend. Indeed, 2008 is the best year for many of us. But as the year 2008 is coming to a end... we must not look back. I believe that 2009 will be a better, prosperous year for all of us. And we should have this mindset: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. 4 area we better Don't Look Back:
1. The old sins
2. The old defeats
3. The old conflicts
4. The old victories
Finally... just wanna wish u all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and a GREAT YEAR AHEAD IN 2009.

Lighting up love and hope

Christmas is a day to commemorate the birth of Christ Jesus. Over the centuries, classic Christmas traditions are practiced all over the world: perhaps beginning with the yule log, decoration of the Christmas tree, singing of Christmas carols, presents and icicle lights.

But wait! Behind all the celebration and midst of fun, there are many other people who are struggling with their life. Yet, within every storm that comes our way in life, there is a 'hidden message' for us to become better people and to make a difference in the lives of others. Indeed, in some parts of people's lives, there may be darkness. But just by lighting up a candle, it provides light, hope and warmth.

So friends, can we not just be self-minded or love only oneself? Can we spread the love of Jesus to those we cherish around us and those who are lonely, hopeless or broken-hearted? "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. I believe together we can make a difference in others life, for God call us to be the 'salt of the earth and light of the world'!

With light, love and hope, darkness shall be overcome!

Candle Night 20122008

Hi all Brother and Sister,

Did you guys had a wonderful night? I do have a great night today.

Seriously I do feel very warming when the whole church was dark for a moment and then it was all light up, not by the hall light, but by the little flame that was burning on our candle.

And when everyone lighting each other candle up, symbolize hopes! It shows that if everyone is willing to share to light up someone life, hopes will never die.

so as this year coming to a close. had you guys planned what to do for the year 2009?
it is going to be another toughter and even more challenging year for me but I tell you guys, at the end of year 2009, I will be stronger greater than 2008 because I live my life with a GREAT GOD. Moreover I had planned my life for 2009. Believing in this line "If you failed to plan, you planned to fail."

Just before I end my message to everyone, I will email everyone a softcopy of myGoal, for you all to plan your 2009 on your computer. and the coming jan, I will be going for my blood donation, anyone interested to light up someone life with me?

May my God bless those who is there to be salt and light for others.

When I am sad.

When I'm sad,

I choose to sit in one side of my bed, shares my problems to pillows. No matter how painful the thing was I never let a tear out.

Now when I am sad,

I cried as I pray for peace, i felt i'm so weak. (Not man, Not cool). Yet I know someone up there will heard it.

Thank God, he is always picking on me, wanting to mould me to serve him better.

How about you guys? Did you ever cry like a baby before the lord? share your story to me?

Arise and Build 2008

Hey guys... yesterday service was really awesome. The presence of God was very tangible. And the whole entire church pledged the amount onto the Arise and Build card. I could feel the faith around the whole service. Even as we have pledged the amount to God, let's believe that we can have the building in the marketplace, for the marketplace, to penetrate the marketplace. Let's believe that we are able to raised $24 million over the next months. And even now is building fund season, let's continue to pay our tithe and give our offerings. Let's believe that in this season of Arise and Build, i wanna believe with you that God will continue to bless all. For all the working adults, i believe that salary increment and promotion will run to you. For all the NS men, i believe that you will be promoted again and again. For all the students, i wanna believe that God will bless us in our studies, having more allowance. And to Xiuhui, even as you are selling 2nd-hand clothes, bags etc i wanna believe that more people will come and buy from. Guys... like what Pastor have said, we are not into building buildings. But we are here to build a life of character and obedience. I believe that the whole cg and the church will have breakthroughs.
Let's Arise and Build

let arise and build.

hoho,

next month will be our building fund event.

Have you all recieve the msg from God?
what will the amount pleases Our God?

*remember
Building Fund isn't about the amount.
Is about building your personality.

May God bless you in all means.
Love ya.

PM @ Alvin's House

Hey guys... yesterday we have a awesome prayer meeting @ Alvin's house. Together wif me were Wendell, Adrian, Jasmine, Agnes and my sister, sharon. It was good to be together in dwelling in the presence of God. During the PM,we took the boldness and faith to visualize what we will beocme and speaking forth what God showed us. Just to refresh your memory, Pastor preach on the sermon, Fourth Dimemsion. So guys... let's have faith. For all the visions and dreams God has given, believe in it and it will come true. Finally, if you guys have any prayer requests or needs, do us know. God bless all!!!!

My blood donation agaiN!

Hi all bro and sis,

my website.

www.apostlegospel.blogspot.com

Go see that I had just recently went for blood donation with my buddy eugene.
Watching saving another life by donating his blood, make me feel so warming.. seeing so many ppl doing it for saving another without asking for any returns makes me feel that this world hasn't really been taken over by Satan.

Let all stay together, Remember! Love is about Giving.

Fourth Dimension Living

Greetings to all...
This week service,Pastor Kong preach on the sermon, Fourth Dimension Living.In this world that we live, the world sees only in 3 dimension.(length, breadth and height)So you might ask, ''wat's the fourth dimension?'' Now i tell you the answer: Faith. Jesus says in Matt 17:20 that if have faith of a mustard seed, and nothing will be impossible for you. The size of a mustard see is so small that you need a microscope to see it. So Jesus is only asking for a little faith from us. Jesus' says, according to your faith let it be done. In this season Arise and Build, let us not give wat we think we should, but we should ask God, ''God, wat's the amount You want me to give?'' And indeed, obedience is better than scarifice. So guys and gals, we are all sons and daughters of God. It's better we obey God rather than scarificing so much to him and as a result God rejected it. In 2 weeks' time, we are going to believe God for $24 million. You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, His generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Let's Arise and Build

Wisdom and Understanding.

Hi all,

I just finish my quiet time, and I came across this line, which I felt is good.

The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.
===== Job 28:28 =====

Anyone came across any lines on Understanding and Wisdom? please comments. Thanks.

Arise and Build 08 is coming!!!!

Greetings in the name of Jesus to all!!
As all of you know tat the Arise and Build campaign 08 is in 6weeks' time. And once again we wanna give God a scarifical amount. In this Arise and Build, we are not into building buildings. But we are here to build a live of obedience and faith. It's not the amount we are talking. But it's the amount of scarifices you and i are going to sow. I believe that as we give a scarifical amount, God will open up the windows of heaven for you. He will pour out not just blessing, but blessings and abundance into your life. You will have so much that you will become a blesser around the people. What do you want from God? What can you give to God? Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams](Eph 3:20- Amplified version)

LET'S ARISE AND BUILD!!!

How much are you worth?

Hi all,
Been sometime i post something here. Thank God that I am still alive and able to post this message.. I was nearly buried alive by all my WORKS in office. Thanks God, 3 days later I arose from it =)

Anyway today I would like to share somethings that God had spoke to me in my heart.

A conversation between a young guy and a wealth guy
Young Guy: Hi Sir, how much are you worth?

The wealth guy thought for awhile and say...
Wealth Guy: $10,000.

Young Guy: You’re surely worth 100 times that amount!

Wealth Guy: No.. You didn’t ask me how much I own but you asked me what I’m worth. So I told you what I contribute to world.

Wealth Guy: We are worth only what we share with others.

So friends, how much do you think you worth?

Acts 20:35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "

nIvLaCaAsI
Gal 2:20

Why there is still worries and trouble?

Hi,

Ever troubled and ask God is He the one who created all these troubles and worries in your life?
or
Asked, why isn't him protecting you from all these problems?

After a while I realise why.

23 Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 For sighing comes to me instead of food; my groans pour out like
water.
25 What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 I have
no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only
turmoil."
===== Job 3 : 23-25 =====

I'm brought to earth by God through my mother womb, for He who can shut the door of my mother womb and kill me before my eyes could see the lights and hide troubles away from my blinded eyes.

But he choose to let me live, and face all troubles and watch me grow to be a stronger person, to prove to Satan that we are God greatest creation which will able to withstand any Satan's creation. For our God is greater than Satan.

Do not worries, God is protecting us. He will save us when the time have comes. All He wants is to make us a stronger man, and amend those wrongs we made, and correct us, be thankful that God is watching your growth.

17 "Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline
of the Almighty. 18 For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. 19 From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will befall you. 20 In famine he will ransom you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword. 21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes.
===== Job 5 : 17-21 =====

Amen ! :)

the yellow ribbon campaign

Hi all,

This week I believe every place you all goes, you all should see the Yellow Ribbon Campaign.

The Campaign is to encourage others to give the ex-mate another chance in the society, letting them a chance to rejoin back to their life.

This hit me with a very good verse, so I like to share with everyone :)

14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will
not forgive your sins.
===== Matthew 6: 14 - 15=====

Hope everyone will have a forgiving heart, to forgive others, to bless others another chance another hope in life.

Faithless Man (Adrian)

Coz I went for the morning prayer for the past 2 weeks, and the only stamp I did not collect was the 1st week tuesday stamp. which is the "Faith". hahaha.. but I know god sees my heart. stepping in his love with faith. believing tat I knw a faithful God, who will bless my days and plan for me without me getting worried for it.

Living for His words

Hi,

to all those that hasn't see any vision from God.

Keep praying, our days will come :D

and a word for you, my dearest members.

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed
are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
===== John 20:29 =====

So don't be dishearted, yet be motivated, keep praying, keep believing, your day will come.

Wow!!! Another vision from God!!!

This vision is really abt us. This is wat God showed me: A piece of very dry land. The flowers, grass and trees are all withered, dried up. And i saw the sky was very dark. There came a drop of rainwater. And this drop fell on one of the flower. And behold.. tat flower grew back to normal. The flower blossom. Den the rain came down, the flowers, grasses and trees was ''revived''. Here we see a few things. The piece of the dry land represent our CG. Indeed i can see tat the CG is dry. And the flowers represent the members. The grass represent the new frens tat just gt integrated. And the trees represent the core members, the pillars of the CG, Zone and the Church. And i believe God is coming and He is going to do something big in this. So guys and gals, let's hold fast to our faith. I believe tat God has begun His work and the CG will able to multiply by September o8. E315 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Please Do Not Fish

Hi All,

As I was reading.

I came across this line, sound pretty profound somehow.
Hope you all like it.

"God has cast our confessed sins into the depths of the sea, and He's even put a 'No Fishing' sign over the spot."
=== Dwight L.Moody ===

From www.apostlegospel.blogspot.com

A revelation from God

Just as i was reading my sis Bible, God showed mii a verse in Proverbs 3:23: ''Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.'' Allow mii to break the verse for you. ''Trust in the Lord with all your heart.'' Wat does it mean to trust? To trust means that u have full of faith and confidence in all your heart. Wat does it means? It means that u dun doubt God, having destroy all form of doubt in your heart. If u have doubt, God cant move. Second part, ''And lean not on your understanding'' Wat is lean? to depend or rely. When u need help, dun ask ur frens for help first, but ask God. Rely on him to answer ur problems. And whenever u need someone's help, ask God. Depend on God to help you. Part 3: In all your ways acknowledge Him
Wat is acknowledge? to admit to be real or true; recognize the existence, truth, or fact. Confess that God is ur very help in time of need. And God will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that u can imagine/dream/pray. Last part: And He shall direct your paths. The meaning of direct that after u have surrendered all ur visions, dreams, desires, wishes, God will direct you to them. You may think it's impossible. But as assuredly i tell u the truth: With God all things, again i say ALL THINGS, are possible. So guys and gals, let's rely on God rather than ourselfves. Tat's all folks. Pls pass this message ard the cg. Thanks. E315 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

A vision that I saw on the 05/07/08

Dear guys and gals, it's been a long time that i said something. Just wanna share that during the last cg, we have a ministry time. The Presence of God was very tangible. And we oso have our own ministry time or wat we call as deliverance. During the ministry time, Alvin prayed for mii. And he oso delivered mii out of my disappointments. After he prayed for mii, behold, i saw a vision from God. I found myself in the pitless hole surrounded wif darkness. And on top of mii, i could see a very dim light. Den Alvin having the Spirit of God, stretch out his hands and pick mii out of the pitless hole, into God's marvelous light. I felt so much better ,relaxed in the Presence. Indeed wat the song says that in the Presence i will find God's peace. So tat's all guys and gals. E315 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Words that you carry.

With righteousness shining ever brighter,

The gift God gave Us

Hi Sibblings,
So what was the most powerful talent God our lord have given to us? It is ==

The Power to Love.

And gracious of him, to give us such a great present. LOVE
Yes, Indeep Love is a very powerful thing.
Without Love, we are souls without spirit, A sounding gong without melody. A work without excellent, A laughter that came from a empty heart.
And so we children of the God, should show love to everyone,

But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
-- Matthew 5:44 --

Not just loving the people, but Love everything we do. Doing things with Love. Because the greatest part of it when we do things with Love is

Love never fails.
-- 1 Corinthians 13:8 --

So from today onward. Be in Love, and enjoy the present that God, our mighty father had given to us.

9 steps to defeat Procrastination

Just wanna introduce a word to you all. Which is also one of word in my title, tat's rite, tat word is PROCRASTINATION. Quite a long word, let mii tell you the meaning. I did some research on tis word Procrastination: To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness. Many a times, we are given tasks/work etc, and we often put it aside. Work is something tat we humans dun like it, but it is because of work tat give us promotion. Now if u want to be a person of excllence, you and i need to defeat procrastination. Now here are some ways u can defeat:1. Activate your Planner- start using ur organiser/PDA etcIf u fail to plan, U plan to fail.2. Break large tasks- break the large tasks/work into smaller tasks. So tat you got time to think through wat to do first.Nothing is ever too hard if u plan it well.3. Create deadlines. -Never take ur own sweet time to finish ur work/tasks, whether big or small.Discipline yourself.4. Deal with Mess- You cant work on a messy table. Before even u start working, you should clear your table. Start ur work wif a clear mind and table.5. Encourage Yourslf- whenever u need a encouraging word, u can pat urself on ur shoulder saying, ''well done''.6. Face your fears- the more u run from fear, the more fear will chase u. Instead of running away from fear, u should face ur fears, so tat u will become wat we called as overcomer.7. Goals Review- whenever u accomplish a goal, marked it down as done.8. Hang on, don't give up- you are almost to ur dreams/destination. hang it on, dun give. Surely, ''whatever a man sows, he will surely reap.''9. Initiate Now- whatever plans u have, do it now, lest something come in the way.Notice tat all the 9 steps starts from A to I. Finally just wanna say, '' if you are called to something, do it now. DON'T PROCRASTINATE

ALL are called, but FEW are chosen

Every Christian, whether young or mature, are called into serving for the purpose of God, at the moment they are being born again. But in Matthew 22:14, the bible tells us that many are called, but few were chosen.

Here's the question, if many are called.. then why do only a few were chosen? Why is it so? This is because NOT ALL that were called are willing to make a choice to walk the narrow way. Not all of those who are called are willing to bear the cross for Jesus Christ.

We have to make a decision to walk through the narrow way, to undergo stretching and character moulding, to go through trails and tribulations, and to see ourselves develop in the fruits of the spirit. It's only when we are willing, then God can use us as His servant and to bring blessing to others.

Let's develop our character and our foundation in God!
Jiayong =)

Building A Life Of Success

Beloved brethens,
I wanna share on this word that has really impacted me. In James 1:5-8, it talks about what our faith in God can do for us.

When someone says to you "must have faith in God!", what does he really mean? Do you simply lay still and mumble to yourself "i must have faith... " or do you break beyond your carnal mind and act out what God has spoken to you? The bible says "do not have double-mindedness". Don't stand in between Zorah and Eshtaol! Surely a man who puts his leg in a boat and the another leg on another, would eventually fall into the sea when the boats drift apart.

If God has given you the vision, go in that direction and grab it. Stop procrastinating! Life is too short for us to say 'wait till another day'. To attain success, u gotta initiate it now!

Agape,
Jiayong ;)
