its time to step into my friend's boat and fellowship with them...

like how Jesus did when he was sharing the Gospel. He noticed simon peter and his group of fishermans ignoring the Gospel as they were busy fishing. so, Jesus took action. He got onto their boats, sat down and chatted with them. He did miracles, signs and wonders that caused simon peter to receive salvation.

to get onto other people's boat, is as simple as getting into their lives.

to simon peter, his boat was his life. without his boat, simon peter would not be able to catch fishes to sell. as Jesus sat down in his boat and fellowshipped, He found out that they had a bad day - they didn't manage to catch any fishes. so, Jesus did a miracle in simon peter's life. He asked simon peter to cast the net again, and simon peter listened to Him.

simon peter realised that his net was filled with fishes and simon peter had to get the other fishermans to help him pull the net up. even their boats were sinking due to the overwhelming pressure.

when simon peter saw the signs and wonders Jesus did, simon peter begin to praise God. well, simon peter received his salvation afterwards=)

as we fellowship with others, we begin to discover their needs. fulfill their needs for them.

and that brings me to this main point - find a HURT and HEAL it. find a NEED and MEET it.

i was extremely blessed by the message pastor Kong preached today. it really made me want to "barge" into my friends lives and change their lives forever.

revival never stops!

well, i wasn't only blessed during service. i learnt something really important in Christian Lifestyle class today - thanksgiving and praise.

giving thanks to God even when i'm at my lowest point, most depressed moment. its hard, but i can do it. i'll sing praise songs even when the sun is not shining, its hard, but i can do it. give thanks for things and not all things...

joined sister sharon's cellgroup for newcomers' tea, and charmaine accompanied me too=P had a great time laughing around, fooling around and sharing with charmaine~ it still amazes me when she's serious... lolx=) she still remains as one of my favourite people to share with...

the video about the history of City Harvest Church was seriously funny!! pastor Kong back then was a total nerdie!! hAaz! super cute in his round and huge specs, skinny frame and boyish voice. but now, he's a man of God, dashing, muscular and powerful voice! thank God! pastor Kong's a scout too!! -hops-

thank God for opening doors for me, to bring glory to His name, to add souls into his kingdom and to serve Him in ngeeann poly. amen
