Worthy Is the Lamb

A song that touched my heart deeply. Everyday of our life not just knowing what Jesus did for you on the cross. But be in love with Him and trust in Him.

The simple form of faith=)

Ephesians 3:17-19

17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

In His Love,

Photographer saved by grace.

Hey N283!! Im here to revive this blog!! There's lotsa dust and spider web here already. Hopefully everyone will come and update this blog regularly once again and you can share hows everything for you or even revelations you have from God. Lets encourage one another through the blog. Also please let me know if you have prayer request or you could also update the prayer section on your own. Lets keep updating the list and keep praying for the CG and one another. Prayer really works wonder. Lets Pray until something happen.

Just want to say last week CG message is really good and lets really have more quality in our fellowship.. Let us really build up each others' life and know more about one another. Fellowship is in fact really very important cause it will keep all of us connected. Also, let us really continue to be 100% after God's heart. It is only when we are really 100% after God, things then will start to happen. We will then experience growth in the CG easily. Things will just work out for us.. Seek Him first and His righteousness and all things shall be added to you. We really got to stop giving excuses about things and start doing something. We really got to question ourselves, indeed how much we love God, are we willing to sacrifice for Him, are we willing to obey what He wants us to do? When was the last time we bow down on our knees to worship him wholeheartedly, telling God how much we love Him. Lets really get back the first love and be on fire for him again. Let this fire keep on burning and let us not be complacent.

Really hope to grow this CG together and also that the CG will unite as one, having the same vision as what Huitian and the leaders have, supporting one another in the things.

Dearest N283!

I'm back!
I had this revelation when I thought about "why Christians who supposed to be joyful aren't as happy as those who weren't saved?" Is it that we have more things to adhere to? More things to think about? More expectations to meet? Or it's the relationships? Or just the problem with ourselves?

Daily, we face many ppl who press the hot button, even ourselves who knew it but press it.
Love God, Love people, is not easy.
Some ppl we just can't stand them. Sometimes we can't stand ourselves too.
Making wrong decisions, saying the wrong things, etc.
Hope this really helps us to be happier people towards being ourselves and serving others:)

Be merciful

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? -Mic 6:8

1. To yourself

As Christians, we need to strive for excellence, but not perfectionism. It is an emotional sickness.

Excellence is just simply doing our best.

God loves us with his agape love. He is merciful to us by sending Jesus to die for us.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed -Rom 3:23-25

God loves us even if we are not perfect. It's not conditional which is based on one's performance rather than on one's being. Therefore, a perfectionist cannot be happy in this state of mind because nothing he ever does is perfect and therefore not good enough—and he can never feel loved for who he is.

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.- Mat 5:48

What then does "perfect" in the bible mean? It means complete, whole or mature.

In other words, being perfect, is progressive. A baby doesn't mature immediately and talks like a 40 year old man. Similarly, being perfect is a process. Slowly, as we abide in Him, we bear the fruits of being perfect.

He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit - Jhn 15:5

Only to be release from this "perfectionism" mindset, that we truely can have the joy of the Lord.

2. To your neighbours.

"You shall love your neighbor as yourself" has appeared at least 9 times through the bible.

(Lev 19:18, Mat 19:19, 22:39, Mrk 12:31, Luk 10:27, Jhn 13:34 Rom 13:9, Gal 5:14, Js 2:8)

And in Mrk 12:31 is it said that, "There is no other commandment greater than these."

A friend loves at all times -Pro 17:17

It is regardless of what he/she does. We are not perfect and we do not expect others to be perfect too.

3. To your enemies.

It's easy to love those who love you- like your family, your siblings, your friends, your bf/gf.

Anyone could do that.

What makes us so different then?

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you -Mat 5:43-44

In the book of 1 Sam, Saul attempted to kill David twice. But he was preempted. However, David did not kill Saul even though God was with Him and delivered his enemy into his hands. That's what David said to Saul:

And indeed, as your life was valued much this day in my eyes, so let my life be valued much in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation.” -1 Sam 26:24

What shall we do then?

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer. -Ps 109:3-4

Pray that...

1. We are not afraid to be merciful.

Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “ Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” -Isa 35:4

2. We will not be weary of doing good.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. -Gal 6:9

3. We will forgive and love- give them what they need, not what they deserve.

And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. -Mrk 11:25

Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” -Luk 7:47

4. We will do these (stated above) depending on the joy of the Lord.

Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength. -Neh 8:10

Ada

Dear N283,

Just wanna share with you this song:)

It reminded me of how much Jesus loves us, regardless of what we've done or not done.

Sometimes, life is so full of ups and downs..
Everything single day is full of decision making, the right and wrong choices..
Happy or sad..

Still, we can always choose to praise Him, regardless of our circumstances..
Whether we pull through or not.. Cos it's just a matter of time.. He promised:)
Let us rejoice and be thankful of everyday that the Lord has made for us!

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. -1 Cor 1:57
Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength. -Neh 8:10

Enjoy!

Hillsong- For who you are

Standing here
In your presence
Thinking of the good things you have done
Waiting here
Patiently
Just to hear the still small voice again

Holy
righteous
Faithful til the end
Saviour
healer
Redeemer and friend

I will worship you for who you are
I will worship you for who you are
I will worship you for who you are
Jesus

My soul secure
Your promise sure
Your love endures
Always

Serving with Love,
Ada

Precious Promises and Answers to Problems

Hey my dear N283! Im here to blog! Hmm, was just going through some stuffs in my file where i kept so many stuffs that i received in the past such as cards and letters and all. Saw this piece of paper that i printed out last time with the title, Precious Promises and Answers to problems. It actually applies more for examinations but i think it will also apply in life somehow. So here it is. I would like to encourage those who are having exams now including myself.

Before examinations:
I am so worried about this particular subject:

"Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7


My mind cannot concentrate during revision:

"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Isa 26:3

I cant even sleep peacefully nowadays:

" I lay down and slept, I awoke, for the Lord sustained me." Ps 3:5

I am physically and mentally fatigued:

" But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isa 40:31

There is no hope for Im too far behind to catch up:

"Why are you cast down, O my soul? Nad why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, who is the help of my countenance and my God.: Ps 43:5


During examinations
I dont understand what is the question all about:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths." Prov 3:5-6

Im too nervous to think properly:

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives do I give you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." John 14:27

This question needs much wisdom and I dont have it:

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him." James 1:5

This question is really impossible to answer:

"If you can! All things are possible to him who belives!" Mark 9:23

After examinations
What will my results be like?

"Commit your ways to the Lord, trust in Him and He will act. Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Ps 37:4-5

Doesn't God care if I fail?

"Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

yoohoo! after reading Ada's posts, I'm very encouraged. so I shall share my revelation with you all as well.

1 John 4:4 (NIV)

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

You know, we always quote this verse until it becomes something that is so stuck in our mind. But have we really thought about how it applies in our lives?

I've been very burdened about the cell group, not just the growth but also for all of you as individuals--whether you are doing well, whether u r still growing, whether you still love God as before etc. and there comes a point where i get negative about the situations before me. yes, yes. Huitian is human as well. i get negative and down at times too ok! haha. But last Tues during leaders meeting, as i was worshipping God, i really felt my mindset being renewed and this verse really came to be so true for me.

All the negative and limited thoughts come from the devil (the one who is in the world). so why am i having a negative and limited mindset when my God has already overcome the world? Why do i say i believe in God yet still carry this kind of attitude? All these just don't make sense right?
So that's when i decided to renew my mindset and trust in God for good things to come. and I'm really seeing a revival coming!!

N283, believe together with me and work hard to retain the harvest ok? Let's put on the mind of Christ amen?

Yours for revival,
Huitian.

Hello again dearest N283!!!

I hope this encourages you, cos it did to me, especially in the midst of transition.

When I was reading the bible, I heard this voice that says...

Do not fear

1) for the Lord is with us

And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.” -Gen-26:24

2) for the Lord has promised us

So He said, “I am God, the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there. -Gen 46:43

‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’ -Hag 2:5

Look, the LORD your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged.’ -Deu 1:21

3) for the Lord has interceeded for us

Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.” -Num 14:19

You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you.” -2 Chr 20:17

4) for the Lord is faithful to us

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” -Deu 31:6

And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” -Deu 31:8

5) for the Lord is here to protect and save

Stay with me; do not fear. For he who seeks my life seeks your life, but with me you shall be safe.” -1 Sam 22:23

6) for the Lord was here for us and is here for us

And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God—my God—will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD. - 1 Chr 28:20

7) for the Lord fights for us

Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “ Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” -Is 35:4

“ Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, You people in whose heart is My law: Do not fear the reproach of men, Nor be afraid of their insults. -Isa 51:7

8) for the Lord gives us rest
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” -Mat 11:28-30

9) for the Lord is our provider
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? ... ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. Mat 6: 25-27, 32

10) for the Lord has planned for us
And Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, ‘Set it apart.’” So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, “Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people.” -1 Sam 9:23-24

Therefore...
Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. -Rev 2:10

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. -Ps 23:4

Just wanna say that I love all of you!!!!
Let's walk this journey tgt, in unity and faith as a cg:)

Serving with Love,
Ada
